A bettor on 1win has received a 1.749 million USDC payout after placing a seven-figure wager on Paris Saint-Germain against Aston Villa in the 2026 UEFA Super Cup. The transaction, settled in USDC on the Ethereum network, is publicly traceable on-chain. The payout follows a $1.65 million win by Mia Khalifa in July on a $1 million bet on the World Cup final.
On-chain payout
The deposit and the withdrawal are both visible on Ethereum. The full cycle from deposit to payout ran entirely in USDC, with no conversion to fiat. That makes this a clean example of stablecoins handling a high-value iGaming transaction, start to finish.
The ambassador connection
The player joined 1win through the network of one of the brand's Global Crypto Ambassadors. That program launched recently to build a worldwide network of crypto-native creators and connect 1win with established crypto communities. It's a deliberate push into crypto-savvy markets, and this payout is the kind of result the program is meant to showcase.
High-stakes bets in quick succession
Two million-dollar wagers within weeks of each other highlight the growing presence of high-stakes players on the platform. In July, Mia Khalifa collected $1.65 million after betting $1 million on Spain to beat Argentina in the World Cup final. Now this Super Cup bet adds another seven-figure payout. The timing isn't a coincidence — 1win is clearly attracting a bigger, bolder betting crowd.
Stablecoins in iGaming
The case shows how USDC and Ethereum are being used for large transactions in online gaming. The transparency of the blockchain means both the deposit and the payout are publicly verifiable. That's a shift from traditional payment rails, where such transactions would be opaque and slow. For a platform like 1win, that transparency is a feature, not a bug.
