Registries, notifications and press notes use wording that hides what it means. This glossary translates the terms that appear in the 1win record, using only definitions that match the documents cited.
A definition here helps you read the source, but it never replaces it. When a term affects a decision about your money, go back to the registry entry or the notification and read the exact wording.
Group the words by the question they help answer, so you know where to look first.
Licensee, registration number, B2C and the brand name against the company name.
Issue date, expiry date, status and the regulator's own wording.
Notification, commencement, money game and blocking, from the Act and its press note.
KYC, domain listing, affiliate site and responsible gambling.
These entries cover the words found on the Curaçao registry line for 1Win N.V.
The legal entity named by the regulator as holding the licence. In the registry it is 1Win N.V., not the brand name 1win.
Business to consumer: an operator that serves players directly instead of supplying software to other firms.
A number that identifies the firm in a company register. The registry shows 147039 for 1Win N.V.
The date a licence stops running unless renewed. For this entry it is 6 March 2026, but the status was still Assessment in progress.
It is the registry's own wording. We report it exactly and do not say whether the licence is valid or has lapsed.
The reference printed on the registry line: OGL/2024/587/0621. Use it to find the entry rather than the brand name.
These entries come from the Indian government's notification and press note.
A formal government order. MeitY Notification S.O. 1994(E) fixed 1 May 2026 as the date the Act came into force.
The day a law starts to apply. For the Online Gaming Act it was 1 May 2026.
The press note says the Act bans these. Read the Act's own definition for the exact scope.
Helping a banned activity happen. The press note says the Act prohibits the advertising, promotion and facilitation of such games.
Access to unlawful platforms can be cut off, as the press note describes.
A service that moves money, such as a bank or wallet. The Act bars them from processing related transactions.
Three short scenarios show how the vocabulary helps in practice.
Ask for the licensee name and number. A brand name is not enough to find an entry.
Badges can be copied. Compare the number with the registry and note the status wording.
Check the date of the claim against the Act's start on 1 May 2026, and remember the Act bans promotion too.
Compare it with the domain on the certificate, which iGregulator reports as 1win.pro.
