1Win Withdrawal — How to Withdraw Your Money in Nigeria

So you’ve actually won some money on 1Win and now you want to get it out of there and into your bank account. Good problem to have, honestly. Most people never get this far — they lose everything before the withdrawal question even comes up. But here you are, a winner, trying to figure out the 1Win withdrawal process.

The good news? It’s not complicated. The bad news? There are a few things that can trip you up if you’re not prepared — verification requirements, processing times, minimum amounts, bonus wagering rules. Miss any of these and your withdrawal just sits there pending while you wonder what went wrong.

I’ve done probably 40+ withdrawals from 1Win over the past couple years. Most went through without any drama whatsoever. However, a few times I ran into problems, usually because I didn’t read the requirements properly or I typed my account number wrong like an idiot. This guide covers everything about how to withdraw from 1Win so you don’t make the same mistakes I did.

Before You Withdraw — Things to Check First

Before you even think about hitting that cash out button, make sure these things are sorted. Otherwise, your withdrawal is going to get stuck and you’ll be sitting there refreshing the page for three days wondering why nothing’s happening.

Account Verification is Non-Negotiable

This is the big one that catches everyone. 1Win requires identity verification (KYC) before they’ll process withdrawals, especially larger ones. If your account isn’t verified, your withdrawal request will just sit there in “pending” status forever until you submit your documents.

What you need to get verified:

• Government-issued ID — NIN slip works, so does international passport, driver’s license, or voter’s card. Basically anything official with your name, photo, and date of birth
• Proof of address (sometimes) — A utility bill or bank statement showing your name and where you live. Not always required, but sometimes they ask
• Selfie holding your ID (sometimes) — You looking at the camera with your ID document next to your face. Proves you’re the person in the photos

Verification usually takes 24-72 hours after you submit everything. Here’s my advice though: don’t wait until you want to withdraw to do this. Submit your documents right after you register. Then when you actually win something, you can withdraw immediately without sitting around waiting for verification. I learned this the hard way when I had ₦45,000 locked up for three days because I hadn’t bothered to verify earlier.

Bonus Wagering Requirements

If you claimed a welcome bonus or any other promotion, you probably have wagering requirements hanging over your head. For example, bonus money typically needs to be wagered 30x or 35x before it converts to real withdrawable cash. Until you meet those requirements, the bonus portion of your balance is basically monopoly money — it’s there but you can’t take it.

Check your bonus status in your account settings. If there’s wagering remaining, you’ll need to complete it before that money becomes yours. Alternatively, some people choose to forfeit the bonus entirely to withdraw their real money immediately — but obviously that means losing whatever bonus balance you had built up.

Minimum Balance Requirements

The 1Win minimum withdrawal is around ₦1,000-2,000 depending on which payment method you choose. You can’t withdraw ₦500 even if that’s all you have left in your account. Furthermore, some payment methods have higher minimums than others, so check before you try to cash out.

How to Withdraw Money from 1Win

Alright, assuming your account is verified and you’ve cleared any bonus wagering, here’s how to withdraw from 1Win in Nigeria without any headaches:

Find the Withdrawal Section

Log into your 1Win account. On desktop, look for your balance display in the top right corner — click on it and you should see “Withdraw” as one of the options. On the mobile app, tap your profile icon or balance area and look for “Withdrawal” or “Cash Out.” The exact location varies slightly depending on which version of the app you have, but it’s never hidden far.

Pick Your Payment Method

Once you’re in the withdrawal section, you’ll see various options. For Nigerian players, the main 1Win withdrawal methods are:

• Bank Transfer — Direct to your Nigerian bank account. Works with GTBank, Access Bank, Zenith, First Bank, UBA, Kuda, and basically any legitimate Nigerian bank
• Debit Card — Withdrawing back to the card you deposited with. However, this isn’t always available for Nigerian cards due to banking restrictions
• Cryptocurrency — Bitcoin, USDT, Ethereum, and several others. Fastest option if you’re comfortable with crypto
• E-wallets — Depending on what’s currently available in your region

Bank transfer is what most Nigerians use because it’s straightforward — money goes directly to the account you use for everything else. Crypto is faster if you know what you’re doing, but you’ll need a wallet address ready and you need to be comfortable with blockchain transactions.

Enter Your Amount and Details

Type in how much you want to withdraw. The system will show you the minimum and maximum limits for your chosen method right there on the screen. Make sure you’re withdrawing at least the minimum amount or the system will reject it.

For bank transfers specifically, you’ll also need to enter your bank details — that’s your 10-digit account number, bank name, and account holder name. Double-check these carefully. Triple-check them, actually. Sending money to the wrong account because you typed a digit wrong is a headache you really don’t want. I’ve seen people do this and the recovery process is painful.

Confirm and Play the Waiting Game

Review everything one more time, then confirm the withdrawal request. You’ll see a pending status appear in your withdrawal history. Now comes the fun part — waiting.

Processing time depends on which method you chose. Generally, expect anywhere from a couple hours to a few days. I’ll break down the specific timelines below, but don’t panic if it’s not instant. This isn’t M-Pesa.

1Win Withdrawal Methods — What to Expect

Let me break down each option in detail so you know exactly what you’re getting into:

Bank Transfer — The Standard Choice

This is by far the most popular 1Win withdrawal method for Nigerian players. Money goes from 1Win directly to your Nigerian bank account. Simple concept, works reliably.

Processing time: Usually 1-24 hours, though occasionally up to 72 hours during busy periods or around bank holidays. In my personal experience, most bank withdrawals hit my GT Bank account within 2-6 hours during normal business hours. Weekend withdrawals tend to take longer because banks process slower.

Minimum amount: Around ₦1,000-2,000

Maximum per transaction: This varies based on your account level and verification status. Standard verified accounts can usually withdraw up to ₦500,000-1,000,000 per transaction, but high-volume players get higher limits.

What you need: Your 10-digit NUBAN account number, the exact name of your bank, and the account holder name exactly as it appears on your bank account. That last part is important — the name on your 1Win account should match your bank account name.

Cryptocurrency — The Fast Option

If you deposited with crypto or you just prefer dealing in digital currency, you can withdraw to your crypto wallet. Bitcoin (BTC), Tether (USDT), Ethereum (ETH), and several other coins are supported.

Processing time: Usually the fastest option available. 1Win’s side often processes within 1-2 hours. However, actual receipt depends on blockchain confirmation times, which vary based on network congestion. During busy periods, Bitcoin confirmations can take longer.

Minimum amount: Usually equivalent to about $10-20 depending on the specific cryptocurrency

What you need: Your wallet address for the specific cryptocurrency you’re withdrawing. Triple-check this address because crypto sent to wrong addresses is gone forever. There’s no bank to call and reverse it. Gone means gone.

Card Withdrawal — Sometimes Available

Some players can withdraw directly back to the debit card they deposited with. Unfortunately, this option isn’t always available for Nigerian cards due to how our banking system interacts with international gambling platforms. If you see the option in your account, great — use it if you want. If you don’t see it, bank transfer is your friend.

Processing time: Typically 1-5 business days when available

1Win Withdrawal Time — The Honest Answer

This is the question everyone asks first: how long does 1Win withdrawal take?

The honest answer that nobody wants to hear is: it depends on several factors. There’s 1Win’s internal processing time, and then there’s your payment provider’s processing time. Both of these add together to create your total wait.

What Happens on 1Win’s Side

After you request a withdrawal, 1Win’s payment team reviews it. For verified accounts withdrawing normal amounts, this review usually happens within a few hours. However, large withdrawals or first-time withdrawals might take longer because they do additional security checks.

In my experience, I’ve had withdrawals approved in 30 minutes flat. I’ve also had them take a full 24 hours. There’s no perfect consistency, but most fall somewhere in the 2-12 hour range.

What Happens After 1Win Approves

Once 1Win approves and sends the money, your bank or payment provider still needs to process it on their end. For Nigerian bank transfers, this part is usually instant or takes just a few hours. For international methods or card withdrawals, it can take longer.

Realistic Total Times

• Bank transfer: 2-24 hours in most cases, occasionally up to 72 hours
• Cryptocurrency: 1-4 hours including blockchain confirmations
• Card withdrawal: 1-5 business days (when available)

If your withdrawal is taking longer than these ranges, don’t panic immediately. Check the status in your withdrawal history first. If it still shows “Pending” after 48 hours with no update, then it’s time to contact support and ask what’s happening.

1Win Withdrawal Problems — Fixes for Common Issues

Sometimes things don’t go smoothly. Here are the most common problems and how to fix 1Win withdrawal issues:

Withdrawal Stuck on “Pending” Forever

This is the complaint I see most often in Telegram groups. Someone’s withdrawal just sits there in pending status, not moving, day after day.

Likely reasons:

• Account verification incomplete — you need to submit and have your documents approved
• Bonus wagering not finished — there’s still requirements to meet before you can withdraw
• It’s your first withdrawal — these often take longer because they verify everything extra carefully
• The amount is unusually large — bigger withdrawals get additional scrutiny
• High volume period — sometimes they’re just processing slower than normal

What to do: Give it a full 24-48 hours before worrying. If it’s still stuck after that, contact customer support with your withdrawal ID number and politely ask for a status update. They’re usually responsive.

Withdrawal Got Rejected

Your withdrawal was cancelled and the money returned to your account balance. Frustrating, but there’s almost always a specific reason.

Common reasons:

• Bank details were entered incorrectly — wrong account number, wrong bank selected
• Name mismatch — your bank account name doesn’t match the name on your 1Win profile
• Below the minimum withdrawal amount
• Something flagged as suspicious on your account

What to do: Check if there’s a rejection reason provided (usually in email or your account notifications). Fix whatever was wrong and try the withdrawal again. If no reason was given, contact support and ask directly.

Shows “Completed” But Money Hasn’t Arrived

1Win says completed. Your withdrawal history shows completed. But your bank account balance hasn’t changed. This is annoying but usually not a catastrophe.

Possible explanations:

• Bank processing delay — some banks take a few hours to credit funds even after receiving them
• Wrong account details — the money went to someone else’s account
• Bank rejected it — sometimes Nigerian banks block transfers that look gambling-related

What to do: Wait 6-12 hours after seeing “completed” status before taking action. If still nothing after that, contact both 1Win support (give them the transaction ID) and your bank (ask if they’ve received or rejected any incoming transfers). Get transaction references from both sides to trace where the money actually went.

1Win Withdrawal Limits

There are caps on how much you can withdraw at once and per day:

Minimum withdrawal: Around ₦1,000-2,000 depending on your chosen method

Maximum per transaction: This varies significantly based on your account level, verification status, and VIP tier. Standard verified accounts can typically withdraw up to ₦500,000-1,000,000 per transaction.

Daily/weekly limits: Also varies by account status. If you’re trying to withdraw a very large amount, you might need to split it across multiple transactions or days. Alternatively, you can contact support about temporarily increasing your limits for a big withdrawal.

Higher VIP levels get higher limits across the board. If you’re a consistent player who bets regularly, you’ll naturally move up the tiers over time and get better withdrawal conditions.

Tips for Smooth Withdrawals

A few things I’ve learned from experience that make the whole process easier:

Verify your account immediately after registering. Don’t wait until you have money to withdraw. Submit your documents on day one. Then when you eventually win, there’s no delay — you just cash out and go.

Use consistent payment methods. If you deposited using bank transfer, withdraw to bank transfer. If you deposited with crypto, withdraw to crypto. Mixing methods can sometimes trigger additional verification checks while they confirm the payment trail.

Keep your bank details current. If you change banks or close an account, update your withdrawal information before you actually need it. I’ve seen people enter old account numbers out of habit and then wonder why their withdrawal failed.

Don’t withdraw every small win. Each withdrawal takes time and potentially has fees. Let your balance accumulate a bit before cashing out, rather than withdrawing ₦2,000 every single day. Batch it up.

Screenshot your withdrawal requests. After requesting a withdrawal, take a screenshot showing the pending status with transaction ID visible. If anything goes wrong, you have proof of exactly what you requested and when you requested it.

FAQ

Final Thoughts

The 1Win withdrawal process is genuinely straightforward once you understand what’s required. Verify your account early, clear any bonus wagering, choose a reliable payment method, and be patient with processing times. Most withdrawals complete within 24 hours without any drama.

When problems do happen, they’re almost always because of incomplete verification or incorrect payment details — both easy to fix once you know what’s wrong. Don’t panic if things take slightly longer than expected, but do reach out to support if your withdrawal sits pending for more than 48 hours with no movement.
