Depositing more than 5,000 ETB does not increase the bonus. To turn the bonus into withdrawable money you must meet the wagering requirement, the minimum odds and the time limit.

Jambo Bet accepts the following payment methods, according to the brand: telebirr, CBE Birr, HelloCash, M-Birr, Amole, bank transfer. The minimum deposit is 50 ETB and the minimum withdrawal is 100 ETB. Because the National Lottery Administration has ordered banks and payment providers to block betting transactions, payments made by telebirr or by bank may be declined.
Identity verification is usually required to withdraw money. Do not send your ID or passport to anyone who asks for it on Telegram or WhatsApp.

Jambo Bet and Ethiopian law
There is no legally permitted sports betting operator in Ethiopia today. On 15 December 2025 the National Lottery Administration revoked all sports betting licences; a few days earlier it had suspended the licences of 22 companies. Payment providers were ordered to block betting transactions; in July 2026 the Administration announced this again. A new, stricter regime is being prepared, but no start date has been given.
Any licence shown on the Jambo Bet website is not an Ethiopian licence or was issued before December 2025. Check the law where you live before you register.
