A deposit of 5,000 ETB is enough to get the maximum bonus; depositing more does not increase it. The real value of a bonus depends on its wagering requirement, the minimum odds and the expiry date.

Since December 2025, however, banks and payment providers have been ordered to block betting-related transactions, so payments may be refused or reversed.

Before you withdraw, you may be asked for a document such as a kebele ID, the Fayda national ID or a passport. Send documents only through the official account page.

What to Check Before You Register

  • Check that the law of the country where you live permits online betting
  • Read the bonus's full terms, its wagering requirement and its expiry date
  • Make sure the method you use to deposit and withdraw is registered in your name
  • Decide, before you start, how much you can afford to lose each week

Legal Status in Ethiopia

Licence and law illustration

Currently no sports betting business operates in Ethiopia under a legal licence. The National Lottery Administration suspended the licences of 22 companies in early December 2025, revoked all sports betting licences on 15 December, and decided that betting payments be blocked by banks and mobile money providers. In July 2026 it confirmed this again and warned people not to send money to betting websites or share their personal information. No date has been announced for when the market will open.

Any licence shown on the Jambo Bet website was issued outside Ethiopia or dates from before December 2025. Check the law that applies to you before you register.
