Each parameter applies to every player in South Korea who opens the poker room from the main menu.

Games and Formats in 1win Poker

The lobby collects Texas Hold’em, Omaha and other poker variants under five tabs. Cash Games let players sit at the chosen stakes and play hand by hand. Tournaments run on a schedule with guaranteed prize pools, from the weekly USD 5,000 event to the monthly USD 10,000 one. Sit & Go events suit short sessions with a single table. Rapid and Spins have tabs of their own next to them. Freerolls offer a prize pool with no buy-in, including the USD 1,000 tournament every Saturday.

Stakes and buy-ins at 1win are shown in USD. The NL Hold’em list includes micro tables at blinds of USD 0.02/0.04 with a buy-in from USD 1.6 to USD 4, as well as tables with ante at USD 0.15/0.3 that take USD 12 to USD 30. Both 6-max and 9-max tables run in the same list.

Filters by game type, pot type and number of players, plus Full and Empty switches and a search field, narrow the choice. Each row shows the stakes, the average pot, hands per hour, seated players and the minimum and maximum buy-in. A side panel previews the table and the players at it, and a Waiting List button sits under it for full tables. The client header also holds a Cashier button and a MY GAMES tab.

Rakeback and VIP Points at 1win

Rakeback returns part of the commission that the poker room takes from each pot, and it lands on the account every Monday. Its size depends on the VIP status, and the status depends on the points collected.

The VIP Points 1win Poker system works in a simple way: every USD 1 of rake from the player’s bets brings one VIP Point. Seven statuses set the thresholds and rakeback rates:

Even the entry Player status returns 15% from the first hand, and the expected rakeback amount is always visible in the in-game menu of the poker room. VIP statuses reset on 1 September each year, and the current rakeback promotion runs until 1 January 2027.

A quick example shows the value. A player at Silver status who generates USD 200 of rake in a week receives USD 50 back on Monday at the 25% rate, and the same USD 200 also adds 200 VIP Points toward the Gold threshold of 3,000 points.

Poker Promotions at 1win

Two permanent promotions add prizes on top of regular winnings at the tables.

Poker Tournaments at 1win

Three regular tournaments carry fixed prize pools. Start times are given in UTC+3 and in Korean time:

Korean players catch the weekly event in the early hours of Saturday and the monthly event in the early hours of Sunday, while the USD 1,000 freeroll comes back every Saturday.

GTD stands for a guaranteed prize pool, so the stated USD 5,000 or USD 10,000 is paid out regardless of the number of entries. In each buy-in, the first amount goes toward the tournament and the second is the entry fee, so a USD 30 + USD 3 seat costs USD 33 in total.

Responsible Poker at 1win

Poker stays a pastime when four principles shape the session. Leisure mindset treats the game as entertainment rather than income. No revenge hands means skipping the urge to win back a loss at once. Bankroll comfort limits the stake to money whose loss does not affect the household budget. Time awareness keeps sessions within planned hours and amounts.

Self-exclusion arranged with support takes effect on the spot for at least one year with no early exit, or permanently. During that time only the balance held before the request stays available for withdrawal. Further help is available at gamblingtherapy.org.
