Fantasy sports on 1win let you turn your football, basketball, cricket or tennis savvy into GHS-rich rewards. Whether you’re tracking every Thomas Partey tackle, scouting a rising Premier League striker or backing Ghana’s cricketers, 1win’s daily contests hand you the manager’s reins. Here’s how to draft, deploy and cash in—no numbering, just the essentials.
Getting Your Account Match-Fit
Registering is a breeze: simply tap Register, select Ghana and GHS, enter your mobile number, email and password. Deposits start from GH₵5 via MTN Mobile Money, AirtelTigo Money or Visa/Mastercard and clear almost instantly. Finally, open the Sports menu and hit Fantasy to choose between Football, Basketball, Cricket or Tennis contests.
Building Your Dream Squad
Every contest comes with a budget cap and position limits—this allows you to balance star power with value picks to squeeze the most from your allowance. In football, you’ll need one goalkeeper, three to five defenders, three to five midfielders and one to three forwards. Roster sizes shift for basketball and cricket, but the core strategy stays the same: mix big names with under-priced gems, giving you the power to create your dream squad.
How Points Are Won (and Lost)
Real-world stats fuel your rank on the leaderboard. Here are the headlines for football, but each sport follows a similar pattern of rewards and penalties.
Football highlights
- Appearances count: 2 points for 60+ minutes played, 1 point off the bench.
- Goal contributions reward all: forwards earn 5 pts per goal, midfielders 6, defenders 8 and keepers 10; assists start at 3 pts and scale up by position.
- Defensive bonus: clean sheets are worth 1 pt for mids, 3 pts for defs, 4 pts for GKs, while each conceded goal deducts 1 pt.
- Discipline & drama: yellow cards cost 1 pt, reds 3 pts and own goals –5 pts; bonus actions like shots on target and saves add 1 pt each.
Basketball, cricket and tennis have their own scoring rubrics—points, rebounds, wickets or aces all translate into fantasy points according to predefined tables in the contest lobby.
Contest Formats & Prizes
1win dishes out free leagues for practice alongside paid contests (entry from GH₵5 up to GH₵50). Fancy a duel? Head-to-head matchups pit you against friends or random opponents. Prefer a longer haul? Tournaments span multiple rounds with cumulative leaderboards. Whatever you choose, winnings are instantly credited to your 1win wallet, ready for withdrawal or reinvestment.
Sharpening Your Edge
Successful managers blend data with gut instinct. Keep these tips in mind:
- Form over fame: A streaking midfielder can outscore a superstar off his game.
- Fixture focus: target weeks when top defenders face weaker attacks and prolific strikers enjoy juicy matchups.
- Budget balance: avoid blowing your cap on two big-ticket players; roster depth wins more often than star overload.
- Late swaps: monitor lineups up to kickoff—an injury update could vault a benchwarmer into starter status.
Managing Your Squad
Some formats let you name one or two subs for in-game swaps if your starter doesn’t feature early. In selected contests, you’ll pick a captain who doubles their points—reserve that privilege for a rock-solid performer. Season-long leagues may grant a few free transfers each week; overspend and incur a –4 pt hit per extra move.
Cashing Out & Customer Care
Withdrawals use the same channel you deposited: mobile money is virtually instant, while card payouts take 1–5 business days. Need help? Live-chat agents stand by 24/7, with e-mail and WhatsApp contact options in the Help section.
