Where the app comes from

On iOS, install from the App Store listing for your region. On Android, the app is usually distributed as an APK from the official 1Win domain, because app-store policies on real-money gambling differ country by country. That distinction matters for safety: an APK is only as trustworthy as the domain that served it.

Android installation

  1. Open the official site in a mobile browser and select the Android download
  2. Allow installation from your browser when prompted, in system settings
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the install
  4. Turn the "unknown sources" permission back off afterwards

Verifying you have the real app

Check the domain in the address bar before downloading, confirm the app name and publisher after installing, and treat any version distributed via messaging apps or file-sharing links as untrusted.

iOS installation

Search the App Store, confirm the publisher, and install normally. Regional availability varies; if the listing does not appear, the mobile site is the supported fallback rather than a sideloaded profile.

First launch

Sign in with your existing credentials — the app does not create a separate account. Enable biometric unlock so you are not typing a password in public, and allow notifications only for bet settlement if you want to keep the noise down.

Storage and updates

The app is light, but its cache grows with match images and live data. Clearing the cache is the first fix for sluggish odds updates. Android APK builds do not always auto-update: check the site periodically, or enable in-app update prompts if offered.

Permissions worth declining

Location is required in some jurisdictions for regulatory reasons and optional elsewhere. Contacts and photo-library access are not needed for core betting functions.

18+. Use the app's limit tools; they are the same ones as on desktop.
