Legal Status in Ethiopia
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.
