Owner 1win

Starting off the weekend with our VIP players, next three days we're hanging at F1. We're right by the pit lane with all the drivers 🥺

Guys, recorded a workout with Jon so you can crush everyone in the neighborhood.

Get that chicken breast boiling and le go le go!!! Don't let our coach down😡

Work can be part of education - and often its most valuable part

Today, young people choose a specialization at a very early age before they have had a chance to gain any real work experience. It’s a questionable bet that you make with the least amount of information you’ll ever have. But there’s a bigger problem than picking the wrong major: it’s the very structure of modern education.

It simply doesn't keep up with the speed at which the market changes. While the university develops, approves, and launches a new program, the market will have already managed to create new tools, professions, and requirements for specialists. AI is the most obvious example. Many of the professions and tools forming around AI today simply didn't exist in their current form just a few years ago.

iGaming, by the way, is a good example of the reverse sequence. For people to choose this field at 18 is practically impossible, there's most likely simply nowhere to systematically learn it. As a rule, a person first comes to work in the industry, encounters real tasks, tries different directions - and only then starts to understand what actually interests them and what knowledge they're missing. In my view, that kind of education is far more meaningful than spending five years on a major you picked at 18, only to graduate and find your profession has become automated away a couple of years back.

That's exactly why my advice to young people is to start working as early as possible. Every year spent exclusively on preparing for life is a year without real experience, mistakes, and feedback. Work is also a skill. And, like most skills, it grows not linearly but exponentially.

The Shanghai weekend with JJ and our VIP players is wrapping up 😌

If I had to choose just one factor that determines whether a person will achieve a breakthrough in absolutely any endeavor - it would be ambition.

Not intelligence, and certainly not innate talent. All of that is secondary and can be developed. But you can't force a person to move forward if they don't internally want more and consciously go where the odds of success are below 30%. And do it without complaining about circumstances and difficulties, accepting uncertainty as part of the path.

There are no people with a low bar who've achieved a breakthrough. I don't know a single one. All those who create products, drive progress, and lead strong teams - they're people who always want more.

And here's what we end up with. For some, the ceiling of their dreams is stability and the absence of problems. For others, the reward is the scale of the challenges and navigating chaos. That's exactly why people with the same starting point end up in completely different places ten years later. And it's clearly not because one of them had more talent. Ambition, guys. That's what it always comes down to.

UPD: Sooo, Nicky signed 5 more bearbricks and asked us to give them to some of you. Thinking about how to best set up a giveaway, we'll probably be running an interesting tournament for it soon.

For those who don't know, I'm somewhat of a bearbrick collector. And a little gift is coming my way soon from our VIP Nicky Jam 😌

Alright guys, keeping the tradition going. Since launching Betwave, I've been posting my UFC predictions there, so you can always follow my profile there

UFC 330 is coming up, and the main event of the night is Islam's title defense against Garry. I already posted my take on it, but I'll say it here too. How can you even beat a guy who does nothing but train day in and day out? H-o-w 🙂

We all know whose training style this is and where it leads, and I think this is just another win for Islam. But if you have even one strong argument for why Garry could win - I'll be waiting for you in the comments on my prediction post (I'm truly curious what that could even be)

😌😌😌

Back then, our concierge service organized a trip to the FIFA World Cup for our VIP players - one of whom was UFC fighter Petr Yan.

Not gonna lie, we work very hard to make our concierge service the strongest in the market. And very soon I'll be sharing news about updates to our VIP loyalty program. You'll learn more about the tiers, privileges and how to join us on exclusive trips to the biggest events around the world. Jacuzzis included.

The main danger of leadership is believing you're already out of reach

But the champion is the easiest target. When you become number one, you automatically become the center of attention. Everyone chasing you studies your patterns, your decisions, your strengths, and your weaknesses in detail. They have something you don't - complete information about you. While you take your position for granted and bask in your success, they spend their time studying you and honing their skills.

The best defense of leadership is to see your position not as a finish line, but as a starting point for the next move. To be better than yesterday. To demand more from yourself than ever before. Because someone who keeps growing and evolving is unpredictable by nature. You can't prepare for them - they don't even know what they'll be like tomorrow.

Only the paranoid survive. The ones who never let their guard down, even when standing on the highest pedestal. That's why the only healthy response to leadership is to never consider your position finally conquered and to keep a healthy fear of losing it.

Let's chat on X

Over the years, partners, brand friends, and people encountering us for the first time have consistently said the same thing: our visual identity is one of the strongest in the industry.

It showed in everything - from clothes to booths at conferences and the overall approach to design. Our merch was taken within minutes, and employees regularly received messages asking for help to get certain items - even though none of this merch was ever created for sale. At some point, it became obvious: people don't just want to interact with the brand - they want to become a part of it.

That is exactly why, next month, we are launching the 1win Store clothing brand.

Behind the project is a team with extensive experience in clothing development. If you check out the project CEO Adele's account, you can see the entire journey of building the store from the first sketches to the final campaign photoshoots. The team personally flew to factories, oversaw production and sample development at every stage for over a year. But today, we’re on the home stretch, which means the first drop of our collection is coming very soon.
