Welcome Bonus Examples in Birr

Offer stated by the brand: sports bonus 100% up to 10,000 ETB (x5) or casino bonus up to 15,000 ETB and 100 free spins. The bonus is 100% of the first deposit, with a maximum of 10,000 ETB. The examples below show the size of the bonus.

A deposit of 10,000 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.

Payments, Limits and Identity Verification

Payment methods listed by the brand: telebirr, CBE Birr, HelloCash, Amole, bank transfer. The minimum deposit is 50 ETB and the minimum withdrawal is 100 ETB. 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

• Compare the company name and licence details with the regulator's information
• Check the minimum deposit, withdrawal limits and fees
• Send identity documents only through the official account page
• Don't deposit more than you planned just for a bonus

Legal Status in Ethiopia

Since 15 December 2025, no sports betting company in Ethiopia holds a licence. The National Lottery Administration suspended the licences of 22 companies on 4 December and revoked all remaining sports betting licences on 15 December. Banks and payment providers have been ordered to block transactions linked to betting companies. In a notice issued in July 2026, the Administration stated that no sports betting business operates under a legal licence, and urged the public not to deposit money with betting platforms, agents or social media pages or share personal information.

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