LEGAL AND SAFETYThe 2026 change that affects payments
By a notification dated 22 April 2026, the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025 came into force on 1 May 2026. The Press Information Bureau says it bans all online money games, prohibits their advertising, promotion and facilitation, bars banks and payment systems from processing related transactions, and allows unlawful platforms to be blocked. Whether a given UPI or wallet payment to 1win still goes through after that date is unverified. We make no claim that these payments are lawful.
A payment can fail
If a bank or wallet refuses a payment, do not try an unfamiliar workaround, such as a link from a stranger.
Never pay a third party
Anyone offering to deposit for you or to process payments on the side is a risk.
Play within limits
Only use money you can afford to lose, never rent or savings.
