Cash tournaments and skill gaming in Latin America

Most skill-gaming platforms are built for North America first: they price in dollars, pay through rails that barely reach the region, and calibrate targets against professional players. This page covers which Latin American countries 1V1 operates in, how a challenge works, how results are verified, and how money actually leaves the platform in local currency.

Region: Latin America Launch title: Valorant Updated: August 2026 By: 1V1 editorial team

Latin America is not the edge of our coverage, it is the starting point. 1V1 operates across the entire American continent, north to south, minus a short list of excluded countries. What makes this page different is the focus: language, currency, payment rails and regulatory frameworks specific to Latin America, which is exactly what US-first platforms handle poorly.

The launch title is Valorant, verified through the official Riot Games API. Fortnite, Warzone, League of Legends and CS2/FACEIT follow later; the current status of each one is in the guides.

AVAILABILITY BY COUNTRY

Where you can compete in Latin America

Each country has its own payout route. PayPal works across the continent; Mexico and Peru add a local bank rail.

EXCEPTIONS

Where we do not operate yet

These countries are out due to international sanctions or local regulatory frameworks that make the model unworkable. This is the only exclusion list.

  • 🇨🇴Colombia — Coljuegos regulation
  • 🇪🇨Ecuador — regulatory friction
  • 🇧🇴Bolivia — tax friction
  • 🇵🇾Paraguay — Conajzar / DNIT
  • 🇳🇮Nicaragua — local restrictions
  • 🇨🇺Cuba — OFAC sanctions
  • 🇻🇪Venezuela — OFAC sanctions

The list is maintained and can change. If your country is not on it, it is covered: eligibility is verified when you sign up, not before. Background on legal frameworks is in is it legal to get paid gaming?

HOW IT WORKS

From your usual match to a real prize

No roster to assemble, no bracket, no waiting for an event: you play your normal ranked match.

1

Activate the challenge

You commit an entry in Energy and the system reveals the exact target, calibrated on your last 20 matches. From then you have a 4-hour window.

2

Play your ranked game

Only Competitive matches started after activation count. Unrated and Deathmatch are ignored.

3

It resolves itself

The official game API returns the match data and FISGO backs integrity. If you hit the target, the prize lands in your withdrawable balance.

What skill gaming is, and what it is not

The distinction is not marketing, it is the foundation of the model. In a game of chance you compete against a probability the house sets: a wheel, a price, a draw. In skill gaming you compete against a measurable target based on your own performance, verified with official match data. There are no odds and no draws because there is nothing random to compete on.

It is also not a rewards app. Rewards apps pay for screen time, for watching ads or for installing games, and the payment does not depend on playing well. Here the prize depends only on whether you hit the target. The full comparison is in skill vs gambling.

And an honest warning: you can lose your entry. If you miss the target, the committed entry stays with the house. That is what makes the prize possible for the players who do hit it.

MONEY

Entries, prizes and payouts

The in-platform currency is Energy: $1 USD = 100 Energy.

Key figures for entries, prizes and payouts on 1V1
Item Figure Detail
Minimum entry 50 Energy ($0.50 USD) Capped at 300 Energy on a free account and 600 on Premium
Minimum to add funds $10 USD Returns 1,000 Energy
Challenge prize From 2.0x the entry Energyzed challenges reach up to 4.00x
Minimum withdrawal 2,500 Energy ($25 USD) From withdrawable balance only. Purchased balance never withdraws
Withdrawal fee 0 to 300 Energy Free on Premium, reduced from Diamond rank up

The two balances never mix, and it is worth knowing before you play. Purchased balance is what you add yourself and it works for competing, but it never withdraws. Withdrawable balance is filled only by winning a challenge, and that one leaves the platform. This is not a hidden catch: it is what separates a skill platform from a currency exchange.

Timelines and exact fees per route and per rank are in payments and withdrawals, and the rank and benefit system is in progression and rewards.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

The minimum challenge entry is 50 Energy, which equals $0.50 USD, since $1 USD = 100 Energy. The minimum amount to add funds is $10 USD, which returns 1,000 Energy.
PayPal is available across the continent. Mexico adds SPEI transfers to an 18-digit CLABE and Peru adds a local bank transfer. You need at least 2,500 Energy ($25 USD) in withdrawable balance. See payments and withdrawals.
No. The outcome depends on your own measurable performance in the match, verified through the game's official API. There are no odds, wheels or draws, because there is no random element to compete on. Compare in skill vs gambling.
No. Every challenge is calibrated against your last 20 matches, so the target is measured against your own history and not against a professional's. The account requirements are level 50 or higher and at least 15 ranked matches.
