Expert's Thoughts

The 1Win site ranks as one of the best sites that I encountered on the local betting market with their modern design and attention to detail. They may have only recently joined the South African betting market but 1Win have been very successful in Europe since their inception in 2016. This bookie has a great selection of sports available but it is their extensive live casino games that is an absolute stand out for me.

Live betting

Live betting is a term for betting on a game or match that is already in progress. It’s  the most exciting type of betting because it requires quick reaction times from bookies and punters.

Many sports betting enthusiasts enjoy it because it keeps their interest in a match very high right until the final whistle. In any sport, things can change in a second whereby one team could come back from what looked like a losing game and suddenly be in contention for the win.

Live betting brings all match events and possibilities to life, providing excellent value if you know where to look. 1Win has an extensive range of live betting options featuring a range of different sports. 

Football betting

Football is not only the most popular sport in the world, it is also the sport which attracts the biggest betting attention. Millions of football fans in South Africa place wagers every day on their favourite teams , hoping to use their football knowledge to win their bets.

There are hundreds of betting options in each match that takes place in the major European Leagues like the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and the French Ligue 1.

The fact that football enjoys such an outstanding betting interest on a global scale is not surprising, considering the number of the matches which take place on a daily basis. 1Win also has in depth markets for the PSL which will excite local football punters.

Cricket betting

Cricket is the third most popular sport in the country behind football and rugby. The sport has reached never before seen levels and it is mainly due to the constantly growing T20 leagues from around the world.

1Win also has excellent odds on the international rugby competitions like the Six Nations and the Rugby Championship.

Horse Racing betting

One of the most disappointing aspects of 1Win is that they do not have horse racing on their site. Since there is a massive market for horse racing punters, the sooner they start offering this the better.

We will keep you updated the moment this situation changes.

Tennis betting

1Win has hundreds of betting markets available for punters so you can bet on tennis from every corner of the globe. The Men’s ATP tour and the Women’s WTA Tour are extensively covered and there are great odds and in depth markets for all these matches.

Casino

There are not too many bookies that can match the range of casino games available at 1Win, especially the promotions on casino games. 1Win has a massive selection of Casino Games available and it can often be a pretty daunting task for a new player to choose a game to try out.

With some games being more complicated like Deal or No Deal and Mega Ball than others, selecting a game that is difficult to understand can often be an off-putting experience. This is the reason that they also have all the old favourites like Roulette, Blackjack and Aviator available. The games are powered by internationally acclaimed Evolution Gaming.

Conclusion

1Win South Africa has many positives and will appeal to punters as they have loads of excellent and innovative promotions that many local punters will only experience for the first time. Their sport betting offerings are generally very good but there can be an  improvement in their local rugby coverage.

The biggest area of concern is that the 1Win site is not tailored to the locals as this is evidenced by them only having a handful of payment and withdrawal options for South African players. We hope that these changes can happen in the near future as it will seriously help grow the brand locally.

1Win will need to add horse racing to their selections as there is a huge fraternity of horse racing punters in the country.
