Licence of 1win | Legal Information and Regulation

1win operates under a valid gaming licence issued by the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB), one of the most established regulatory authorities in the international online gambling industry. The licence, issued under Master Licence No. 365/JAZ, confirms that the platform meets the legal and technical standards required for lawful online gaming operations. For users in India seeking to verify whether 1win is legal or legitimate, this licence serves as the primary point of reference.

The Curaçao Gaming Control Board mandates compliance across several core areas:

  • Fair play: All games must use certified random number generators to ensure unbiased outcomes;
  • Transparency: Odds, terms, and operational rules must be clearly disclosed to users;
  • Data protection: The platform is required to maintain secure data handling practices in line with international standards;
  • Financial integrity: Player funds must be managed responsibly and in accordance with the regulator’s financial guidelines;
  • Anti-money laundering (AML): The platform must implement procedures to detect and prevent financial misconduct.

The licence is subject to periodic review and renewal by the issuing authority. Its validity can be confirmed through the official verification system described further on this page.
