Esports betting has become a global phenomenon, and Ghanaian punters now have a world‑class platform. 1win’s esports lobby covers every major title—Dota 2, CS2 (formerly CS:GO), League of Legends, Valorant, PUBG, Rocket League and more—with live and pre‑match odds, in‑depth props, outrights and lightning‑fast updates. This guide unpacks navigating the site, finding value, and bet like a pro.
Exploring the Esports Lobby
Tabs & Sections
- Live: Ongoing matches labeled with a green dot.
- Upcoming: Fixtures sorted by start time—ideal for planning your day’s bets.
- Outrights: Tournament‑winner markets, top‑4 finishers and other long‑term bets.
- Results: Review recently settled wagers and outcomes.
Sidebar Filters
- Every title is listed with a live‑market count: Dota 2, CS2, LoL, Valorant,
- Overwatch 2, Mobile Legends, FIFA, Call of Duty and dozens more.
- Clicking a title instantly filters the main view—no page reload required.
Favourites & Search
- Star your go‑to leagues or matches to pin them at the top under Favorites.
- Use the market search bar (keywords like “first blood,” “tower,” or “map 2”) to
- narrow hundreds of props instantly.
Core Match Markets
Each matchup front‑loads the four most popular bets. Expand any tile to unlock dozens more props organized by map and session:
|
Market |
Description |
| Match Winner (2 Way) | Back Team 1 or Team 2 to win the entire match. |
| Total Maps O/U | Over or under a set map count threshold (e.g. 2.5). |
| Maps Handicap | Give one side a virtual map advantage or deficit. |
| Correct Map Score | Predict the exact final map score (2 1, 2 0, etc.). |
Pro Tip: If you expect a one‑sided match, handicaps often offer the best value. In close matchups, map‑total lines can swing significantly in‑play.
Diving into Props
Once you expand a fixture, you’ll see rich prop categories under each map heading:
- First Tower Destroyed (LoL, Dota 2)
- Total Towers Destroyed (over/under)
- Map Duration (total minutes over/under)
- First Blood / First Kill
- Pistol‑Round Winner (CS2)
- Total Kills / Rounds (over/under per map)
- Round Handicap (give/take rounds in CS2)
- Exact Map Score (e.g. 13–9 in CS2)
Odds recalibrate instantly as objectives fall or rounds conclude. Watching live data feeds—kills, gold leads, tower counts—helps you anticipate price shifts and strike when a line misprices an in‑game swing.
In‑Play Intensity
Live betting on 1win is built for speed and precision:
- Real‑Time Odds
Every ace, team fight or tower dive triggers an immediate line update.
- Flash Alerts
Big odds moves are highlighted so you never miss a value window.
- Quick Bet Slip
Tap any odd and it zips to your bet slip; enter a stake and confirm in seconds.
- Cash‑Out
When available, lock in guaranteed returns mid‑match to manage risk.
- Embedded Streams
Official live streams appear within the interface when rights allow, so you can watch and bet without tab‑hopping.
Even on modest mobile connections, the in‑play engine remains responsive—essential when seconds can make the difference between a winning hedge or a missed opportunity.
Outrights & Futures
Betting before the action starts unlocks longer‑term value:
- Champion Winner
Back the team you think will hoist the trophy.
- Top 4 Finish
Bet on a squad to make the playoff semifinals.
- Regional Group Winners
Early odds on who will win group stages.
Because odds shift dramatically after group play or bracket draws, early backers of underdogs often enjoy the richest returns. Keep an eye on roster changes, patch updates and regional qualifiers—these can reshape the balance of power before a major event.
