About Us
1win wasn’t always the sprawling ecosystem it is now. Back in 2016, it started as FirstBet – a smaller, more ambitious project with one goal: build a betting experience that actually worked well. That foundation eventually grew into something much bigger. Sports betting sits at the core, sure, but there’s also in-house game development, a competitive esports organization, and social initiatives that go a fair bit past what most betting brands bother with. A player in Bangladesh backing a cricket match, spinning a slot, or just following the esports team online is touching the same connected brand either way. And for that market in particular, 1win has become something of a benchmark – the tech holds up, and responsibility isn’t an afterthought bolted on at the end. Millions of players across dozens of countries lean on that same foundation every day.
Our Global Ecosystem
Not many brands in this space run this many fronts at once, and each division below does its own job in keeping the platform running. Between them, they cover the games themselves and a lot of the technology and partnerships working behind the scenes.
| Division | What It Does |
| 1win Games | In-house development studio behind hit titles like Lucky Jet and Speed & Cash, active since 2021 |
| 1win Partners | One of the industry’s largest affiliate networks, built out steadily since 2017 |
| 1win Team | A professional esports organization competing in CS2 and Dota 2, founded in 2020 |
| 1win Token | A modern Web3 solution that launched in the summer of 2024 |
None of these run as separate islands. Revenue, tech, and audience data move between them constantly, so a game that comes out of 1win Games or a deal struck through 1win Partners tends to strengthen everything else too. It’s less a side project and more just how the company works. That kind of overlap explains a good chunk of why the brand keeps expanding instead of settling into a fixed shape.
Key Milestones in Brand History
Turning a local bookmaker into an international holding company didn’t happen overnight, and it definitely wasn’t luck. Here’s the rough timeline of how it played out.
- 2016-2017: FirstBet launches, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become the 1win Partners affiliate program.
- 2018: A full rebrand to 1win, alongside the launch of an online casino and the brand’s first real push into international markets.
- 2019-2020: A dedicated poker room opens, and the 1win Team esports tag (1w) is created.
- 2021-2024: In-house 1win Games titles roll out, the 1win Token launches, and major global campaigns with brand ambassadors take off.
- 2025-2026: A period of global expansion, infrastructure upgrades, and a strengthening position among international leaders in space.
That story’s still being written, mostly because millions of players keep choosing to stick around.
Social Responsibility and Charity
None of this growth came at the cost of ignoring the community. In 2024 alone, the company put more than $300,000 toward charitable causes – a mix of community programs and direct support work. That pace hasn’t dropped off either. Through 2025 and into 2026, 1win kept the same structured approach to social investment, treating it as a running commitment rather than a headline for one year. In Bangladesh specifically, the platform’s presence covers more ground than betting and casino games alone. Part of the mission is putting something back into the communities it operates in, and that carries roughly the same weight internally as any product decision the company makes.
