1win On PC: Windows App, Browser Version And Desktop Shortcut
The operator offers an app for Windows: the site's side menu links to it as “1win for Windows”, an app for quick access to the platform. On Windows and macOS, the platform also runs in a desktop browser, and the browser's own install feature adds a shortcut. The account, cashier and sections are the same as in the mobile app.

How The Platform Works On A Computer
Access depends on the law of the reader's country and on the operator's Terms; the register status is on the licence page. On a computer, the sportsbook and the casino open in the Windows app or in a desktop browser, with the same sections as on mobile.
- on Windows, the app linked from the site's side menu gives quick access to the platform;
- the browser version needs no install file;
- the browser can add a desktop or taskbar shortcut;
- login, balance and bet history are shared with the mobile app.
The App For Windows
The side menu of the site has an item “1win for Windows”. The operator describes it as an app for quick access to the platform.
- Open the site in a browser on a Windows computer.
- Open the side menu.
- Choose the item for the Windows app.
- Follow the instructions on screen to install the app.
- Start the app and log in with the same account.
Download the app only through the link in the site's side menu. On macOS, the browser version and a Dock shortcut are used.
System Requirements
The browser version needs only a current browser and a stable connection. The table sums up what a computer needs.
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | Windows (app or browser) or macOS (browser) |
| Browser | A current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari |
| Install file | Windows app from the side menu; none for the browser version |
| Connection | Stable internet for live betting and streams |
How To Add A Desktop Shortcut
Chrome and Edge can place a site on the desktop or taskbar as a separate window. The menu names vary slightly between browser versions.
- Open the site in Chrome or Edge and log in.
- Open the browser menu (three dots in the top corner).
- Choose the option to install the page as an app or to create a shortcut.
- Confirm the name and tick Open as window if offered.
- Start the shortcut from the desktop, taskbar or Start menu.
Safari On macOS
Recent macOS versions add a site to the Dock from Safari: File, then Add to Dock. The site then opens in its own window.
Same Account, Cashier And Sections
The desktop version uses the same account as the mobile app. Deposits, withdrawals and bonuses follow the same rules on every device.
- sections: Sports, Live, Casino, Live Casino, Crash Games, Poker, Markets and 1Win TV;
- the same payment methods and limits, listed on the deposit and withdrawal page;
- the same bonuses and 1win Coins;
- login with the same email, phone or social icon.
Desktop Browser And Mobile App
The difference between devices lies in installation, not in the account. The table compares the two.
| Feature | Desktop browser | Mobile app |
|---|---|---|
| Installation | Windows app from the side menu, or a browser shortcut | APK about 30 MB on Android, PWA on iOS |
| Account and balance | Shared | Shared |
| Cashier | Same methods and limits | Same methods and limits |
| Bonuses | Same offers | Same offers plus the install reward |
