Depositing more than 10,000 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.
Deposits, withdrawals and verification
According to the brand's information, Winza Bet accepts the following payment methods: telebirr, CBE Birr, HelloCash, 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.

Mobile: Android (APK) and iPhone (web app). Support: live chat 24/7, email, Telegram. Download APK files only from the official website; 'apps' shared on social media may be fake.

Check the withdrawal limits and timings before you deposit
Send your ID only through the account's official page
Do not deposit extra money just to get a bonus
Winza Bet and Ethiopian law
In December 2025 the National Lottery Administration closed the market in two steps: on 4 December the licences of 22 companies were suspended, and on 15 December all remaining sports betting licences were revoked. After that, banks and mobile money providers were ordered to stop betting-related payments. In a notice issued in July 2026, the Administration said that there was no legally licensed sports betting company and warned the public not to deposit money or share the information.
Any licence shown on the Winza Bet website is not an Ethiopian licence or was issued before December 2025. Check the law where you live before you register.
Final verdict
Winza Bet has scored 4.8/5 in our list. Its local payment methods and its officially stated bonus are its main strengths. The rating reflects only its place in our list; we do not recommend betting. Consider the legal position in Ethiopia before opening an account.
