When it comes to betting on virtual showdowns, 1win has quietly built one of the most comprehensive esports offerings you’ll find anywhere—and that includes right here in Ghana. From global powerhouses like Dota 2 and Counter-Strike 2 to crowd-pullers such as League of Legends, FIFA and Valorant, 1win has assembled an esports arena that keeps pace with the rapid rise of competitive gaming on the continent. Here’s our take on what makes 1win’s esports section tick—and why every Ghanaian esports fan should have a look.
A Roster That Reads Like a Gaming Bucket List
Scroll through 1win’s “All Games” list and you’ll find over 320 distinct esports events spanning more than 15 titles:
- Flagship MOBAs: Dota 2 (64 events), League of Legends (57)
- FPS Classics: Counter-Strike 2 (49), Overwatch 2 (11), Valorant (24)
- Console Fighters: Call of Duty (9), FIFA (25), NBA 2K (3)
- Mobile Mainstays: PUBG (16), Mobile Legends (2), Honor of Kings (3)
- Niche & Retro: Rocket League (8), Age of Empires (10), GeoGuessr (2)
Whether you’re a height-of-the-rank Dota 2 die-hard or a weekend Rocket League warrior, there’s something here to wager on—live or upcoming. That breadth alone makes 1win stand out for Ghanaian players seeking variety beyond traditional sports.
Market Depth That Rewards Esports Know-How
1win doesn’t stop at “who wins” markets. For each match, you get a layered menu of map-specific and statistical bets:
- Result (2-Way): Straight-up match winner. Odds on Destiny League’s opener: 1.58 for Dark Rebellion, 2.28 for Swift Knights.
- Total Maps: Over/Under 2.5 maps (1.90/1.84). Great for predicting sweeps.
- Map Handicap: Cover or catch a spread (+1.5/−1.5), with odds as juicy as 2.85 for a −1.5 cushion.
- Correct Map Score: Nail the exact 2–0, 2–1 outcome. Odds range from 2.86 up to 4.34.
- First-Tower & First-Blood: Who’ll topple the first tower or spill the first blood in Map 1 or Map 2? Odds roughly 1.82–1.96.
- Map Duration & Tower Counts: Over/Under total towers destroyed or match duration (e.g. Over 28.5 minutes at 2.03).
Press the “+36” or “+58” icon next to a fixture and you’ll uncover tens more niche bets: total kills, team kills, objective captures—you name it. For anyone who’s watched live streams and knows the ebb and flow of a best-of-three, these markets are a goldmine.
Live Betting & Upcoming Fixtures
When we checked, there were 54 live esports events rolling and 272 upcoming, across “ALL,” “Live,” “Upcoming,” “Outrights” and “Results” tabs. That means at any given moment you can:
- Jump into a live match with fresh odds updating map by map.
- Plan ahead by browsing upcoming tournaments like the European Pro League or FISSURE Universe.
- Lock in outrights on season champions or tournament winners.
The “Bet History” tab makes it easy to retrace your steps, while “Favorites” lets you pin your go-to teams or titles. A handy search bar—“Search by market”—means you can zero in on “first blood” bets or “map total kills” across different games without endless scrolling.
Designed for the Ghanaian Gamer
A few touches show that 1win isn’t just recycling a Western template. Your balance is displayed in GHS, and the green “Deposit” button is always just a click away. Popular payment icons—Visa, Google Pay, Apple Pay, Skrill, AstroPay and more—sit at the footer, signalling a range of funding options. For Ghana, where mobile money reigns supreme, the seamless integration of digital wallets alongside cards is a big plus.
Cross-Platform Convenience
Whether you’re on a desktop café in Accra or tapping away on a smartphone in Kumasi, 1win’s responsive layout has you covered:
- Windows & Mac
Full esports lobby in your browser—no downloads, just load the page and go.
- iOS & Android Apps
If you prefer native apps, look for the “Application for iOS” or “Android” badges in the footer and follow the prompts.
The dark-mode interface is easy on the eyes during late-night matches, and the minimalist menu keeps clutter to a minimum. Even on 4G, odds refresh smoothly without lag.

Verdict
For Ghanaian punters who live and breathe esports, 1win’s esports section is a clear winner. It marries breadth (300+ events) with depth (40+ markets per match), all wrapped in a sleek, lightning-fast interface that respects local currency and payment habits. Sure, you miss out on embedded live streams, and the sheer volume of betting lines can feel like diving into a grand finals without a warm-up. But if you’ve been itching to turn your League of Legends lore or Dota 2 devotion into something tangible (and potentially profitable), 1win hands you the toolkit.
Our recommendation for beginners? Start small: pick a single best-of-three fixture, back the match winner and maybe the total maps. As you grow more comfortable, venture into handicaps, correct scores and first-tower markets—where the real value hides. And don’t be shy about using the “Favorites” feature to track the teams you know best.
Whether you’re cheering for Ghana’s next big Valorant squad or following a global Dota 2 juggernaut, 1win has built an esports betting playground that’s as expansive as it is accessible. For Ghana’s gaming crowd, it’s one of the most compelling destinations on the map—consider this your invite to join the action.
