1Win Registration — How to Sign Up and Create Your Account in Nigeria

Alright, so you want to create a 1Win account. Maybe a friend won’t shut up about it, maybe you’re tired of Bet9ja’s odds, maybe you just saw one too many Instagram ads. Whatever brought you here — the 1Win registration process is actually quick. Like, genuinely quick. Two minutes if you’re focused, three if you get distracted by a WhatsApp message halfway through.

Create Account

I’ve walked a few people through this over the phone — mostly my uncles who somehow always call me when they’re stuck halfway through and can’t find the promo code field. The questions are always the same. Where does the bonus code go? Why isn’t the SMS coming? Did I mess something up?

So here’s everything about signing up on 1Win, where to put the promo code, what happens after you register, and how to deal with the annoying verification stuff later. Let’s get you sorted.

What You Need Before You Start

Nothing fancy:

• A working phone number or email — Nigerian numbers are fine, any email provider works
• You gotta be 18 or older — They verify this eventually, so if you’re underage, this isn’t for you
• About two minutes of your time — That’s genuinely all it takes

You won’t need to upload your NIN or passport or anything right now. That verification stuff comes later when you want to withdraw money. For registration itself, it’s just your contact info and a password. Easy.

How to Register on 1Win

Here’s how the whole 1Win sign up thing works:

First — Get to the Registration Page

Go to 1win-bets.ng on your phone or laptop. Already got the 1Win app? That works too — registration is identical either way.

Look for the “Registration” or “Sign Up” button. It’s green, sitting in the top right corner, big enough that you’d have to actively try to miss it.

Then — Pick Your Registration Method

They give you options for how to create your 1Win account:

• One-click — Fastest option. The system generates a username and password for you automatically. But here’s the thing — for the love of God, screenshot those details immediately. I can’t count how many people do one-click, close the page, and then message me five minutes later asking how to recover an account they literally just created
• Phone number — You put in your Nigerian number, they send an SMS code to verify it’s really you
• Email — Standard registration with your email address. You’ll get a verification link to click
• Social accounts — Connect through Google, Telegram, whatever. Quick, but now your betting account is tied to your social profile, which some people don’t love

Most people go with phone or email. Personally, I lean toward email because it’s easier to recover the account later if something goes sideways. Phone numbers change, get stolen, whatever. Email is more stable. But honestly, both work fine.

Now — Fill In Your Details

Going with phone registration:

1. Put in your Nigerian number — you can start with +234 or just 0, they’ll figure it out
2. Create a password — something you’ll actually remember. Not “123456” or your birthday, come on
3. Select your currency — pick NGN for Nigerian Naira. Don’t accidentally choose USD or you’ll confuse yourself every time you check your balance

Going with email:

1. Enter your email address — Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, doesn’t matter
2. Create a password — same advice as above
3. Select NGN as your currency

Important Part — Enter the Promo Code

This is where people get stuck. Look for a field that says “Promo Code” or “Bonus Code.” Sometimes it’s right there visible. Sometimes it’s hidden behind a link that says “I have a promo code” — you gotta click that to reveal the field.

When you find it, type: PROMOTIONBET

All caps. No spaces. No extra characters. Just PROMOTIONBET.

This 1Win registration promo code activates the full welcome bonus — up to 500% on your first four deposits. Skip this part and you might miss out entirely because adding promo codes after registration is hit or miss. Some people manage it, some don’t. Don’t gamble on it (ironic, I know).

Register Now

Almost Done — Tick the Box and Register

There’s a checkbox saying you’re 18+ and you accept the terms and conditions. Tick it. I know nobody actually reads terms and conditions. I don’t either. But you gotta tick the box to continue, so tick it.

Hit the “Register” button.

That’s it. Account created. Told you it was quick.

Last Thing — Verify Your Contact

If you registered with phone: Check your SMS. There’s a message with a 4-6 digit code. Punch it in where they’re asking. If it doesn’t arrive within a couple minutes, hit “Resend” — Nigerian networks can be slow sometimes, especially MTN during peak hours.

If you registered with email: Go check your inbox. Also check spam. Also check the “Promotions” tab if you’re on Gmail — verification emails love hiding in weird places. Find the email, click the verification link, done.

If you did one-click: No verification needed right now. But you’ll have to add proper contact details eventually, so don’t think you’ve escaped it forever.

You’re Registered — What Now?

Account exists. Let’s talk about what comes next.

Immediately: Save Your Login Details

I’m dead serious about this. Write them down. Take a screenshot. Put them in your notes app. Email them to yourself. Whatever works for you.

Especially if you used one-click registration where the system generated your password. I’ve had people message me — and I’m not exaggerating — literally three minutes after registering, asking how to recover their account because they already forgot the password. Don’t be that person. Please.

Next: Make Your First Deposit

Can’t bet on nothing. Head to the deposit section and add some funds to your account. Minimum is usually around ₦500 for most payment methods — bank transfer, debit cards, USSD codes, all that stuff.

When you make your first deposit, the welcome bonus kicks in automatically (assuming you entered PROMOTIONBET during registration). First deposit gets 200% match, going up to 500% total across four deposits.

At Some Point: Complete Your Profile

Before you can withdraw any money, you’ll need to fill in your profile properly — your full name as it appears on your ID, date of birth, possibly your address. This is for KYC verification purposes.

You don’t have to do this right now. You can deposit, bet, play casino, whatever — no rush. But when withdrawal time comes and your profile is incomplete, it causes delays. Just a heads up so you’re not caught off guard later.

Account Verification — The KYC Part

Registration and verification are two different things. People mix them up constantly, so let me make it clear.

Registration = Creating the account. Takes two minutes. Lets you deposit and play immediately.

Verification (KYC) = Proving your identity to 1Win. Required before withdrawing money, especially larger amounts.

Documents They’ll Want

When 1Win asks you to verify — and they will, at some point — here’s what they typically need:

• Government-issued ID — NIN slip, international passport, driver’s license, or voter’s card. Something that shows your name, your photo, and your date of birth
• Proof of address (sometimes) — A utility bill or bank statement with your name and address on it. Not always required but sometimes they ask
• Selfie with your ID (sometimes) — You holding your ID document next to your face, looking at the camera. Proves you’re actually the person in the ID photo

When you take pictures of documents, make sure they’re clear. All four corners visible. No blur, no shadows covering important parts. Blurry photos get rejected and then you gotta do it again. Save yourself the hassle.

How Long Verification Takes

Usually 24-72 hours after you submit everything. Sometimes faster if they’re not swamped with requests. Sometimes slower during busy periods or if something in your documents needs a second look.

If they reject something, they’ll tell you why — “photo too blurry,” “name doesn’t match what you registered with,” that kind of thing. Fix whatever’s wrong and resubmit.

Common Problems and How to Fix Them

“Account Already Exists” Message

This means you’ve registered before using that phone number or email. Maybe you forgot. Maybe you tried signing up months ago and abandoned it. Either way, you’ve got an existing account.

The fix: Don’t try to create another account. Go to the login page, use “Forgot Password” to reset your credentials, and get back into your existing account. Creating duplicate accounts causes bigger problems down the line — all your accounts can get blocked.

SMS Code Isn’t Arriving

Happens sometimes. Few things to check:

• Did you type the phone number correctly? With the right country code?
• Is your phone blocking messages from unknown senders? Some phones have aggressive spam filters
• Network might just be slow — give it 2-3 minutes before panicking
• Try hitting “Resend Code” if that option exists

If you’ve tried multiple times and SMS just won’t come through, switch to email registration instead. Life’s too short to fight with network providers.

Email Verification Not Coming

• Check your spam folder. Seriously, check it. Verification emails from betting sites end up in spam like 70% of the time
• If you’re on Gmail, check the “Promotions” tab too
• Make sure you didn’t have a typo in your email address
• Try using a different email if nothing works

Can’t Find the Promo Code Field

It’s there, just sometimes hidden. Look for text that says “I have a promo code” or “Add promotional code” — clicking that should reveal the input field. Different registration methods put it in slightly different places.

If you accidentally completed registration without entering PROMOTIONBET, you can try adding it in your account settings under promotions, or contact support and ask nicely. Sometimes they can apply it retroactively. Sometimes they can’t. Depends on their policy at the time and how they’re feeling, honestly.

Registering on Phone vs Computer

1Win app registration follows the exact same process as website registration. Same fields, same options, same promo code. The screen just looks a bit different because it’s formatted for mobile.

If you’re registering on the mobile website (not the app), same deal. Process is identical.

Don’t have the app yet? Download the 1Win app here. Or just register on the website first and download the app later. Your account works everywhere — one login for website, mobile site, and app.

Can I Make More Than One Account?

No. Hard no. 1Win allows one account per person.

If you’re thinking “I’ll make a second account and get the welcome bonus again” — don’t. They track IP addresses, device fingerprints, payment methods. When they catch duplicate accounts — and they usually do — all connected accounts get blocked. Whatever money you had in there? Gone.

If you have a legitimate reason for needing a fresh account — maybe your old one was hacked, you lost access entirely, something like that — contact support directly and explain honestly. They might help. But secretly creating duplicates behind their back? That’s just asking for trouble.

The Registration Bonus Breakdown

When you use promo code PROMOTIONBET during registration, you qualify for the welcome bonus package:

• First deposit: 200% bonus
• Second deposit: 150% bonus
• Third deposit: 100% bonus
• Fourth deposit: 50% bonus

Add those up and yeah, it’s 500% total across four deposits. There’s a maximum cap on the bonus amount — usually around ₦500,000 — and wagering requirements before you can actually withdraw it. Check the full bonus guide for the nitty-gritty on how wagering works.

As for 1Win sign up bonus without depositing anything… those are rare. No deposit bonuses occasionally pop up as special promotions, but they’re small and come with heavy wagering attached. Don’t count on getting free money just for registering — that’s not how this works.
