Amole Bet applies a zero-tolerance approach to underage gambling. Betting services are intended only for people who have reached the permitted legal age in Ethiopia and who can complete any required identity checks. This policy explains the minimum age requirement, truthful registration, KYC and age verification, account monitoring, restrictions on shared or third-party access, and the action that may follow when a minor is identified. Parents, guardians and users can also use the information below to report concerns and understand the related compliance rules.
Minimum Age Requirement in Ethiopia
Amole Bet permits registration, account access and gambling only for individuals who are 21 years or older, unless applicable law or licence terms state otherwise. The final age threshold must be confirmed against the current legal and licensing requirements before publication or use of this policy.
Every user must provide accurate and complete information during registration and whenever account details are reviewed. An account must not be created in another person’s name, and a user must not allow a minor to use an adult account. Parents’ documents, friends’ documents, relatives’ documents and other third-party identity records must not be used for verification.
The age requirement applies across all Amole Bet services and account functions, including sport betting, live betting, keno, games, promotions and account access. If local law, licence conditions or regulator guidance require stricter controls, Amole Bet applies the stricter standard.
How Amole Bet Verifies Age and Identity
Age and identity checks help establish that the person using an account is the account holder and is legally permitted to use the service. Depending on the circumstances, Amole Bet may request information or documents such as:
- a government-issued ID;
- a passport or national identification document;
- confirmation of the date of birth;
- phone number verification;
- confirmation that a payment method belongs to the account holder; and
- proof of address, where required by compliance checks.
Verification may be required before deposits, withdrawals, bonus use or continued account access. The information supplied must be clear, current and consistent with the account details. Amole Bet does not provide instructions for avoiding or bypassing KYC controls. If a document or detail cannot be verified, the account may remain restricted while the matter is reviewed.
When KYC Checks May Be Required
A KYC review can occur at different points in the account lifecycle. It may be requested:
- during registration;
- before a first withdrawal;
- after activity that appears suspicious or unusual;
- when account details do not match payment details;
- when there are signs that another person is using the account;
- when the user appears to be below the permitted age; or
- after an internal risk review.
Users should respond through the official process and provide only the information requested by Amole Bet support or the compliance team. Refusing or failing to complete a required check may result in limited access, a temporary account block or account closure in accordance with the Terms and Conditions. A restriction is a protective compliance measure, not a finding that a violation has already been established.
What Happens If an Underage Account Is Detected
When information suggests that an account may be used by a person below the permitted age, Amole Bet may first restrict or block the account while the facts are assessed. During this period, the user may be unable to place bets, add funds or withdraw funds until the review is complete.
- The account is temporarily restricted or blocked.
- Betting, deposits and withdrawals may be suspended during the review.
- The compliance team examines available documents and relevant account history.
- If it is confirmed that the user is younger than the permitted age, the account is closed.
- Further action concerning the balance, bets and promotional funds is taken under the site rules, licence requirements and applicable law.
Any balance, unsettled bets or promotional funds will be reviewed according to applicable law, licence requirements and Amole Bet internal compliance procedures. No automatic refund or other outcome should be assumed. The result may depend on the facts of the case, the status of the activity and the requirements that apply at the time.
Protection Against Third-Party and Family Account Use
An adult account must not become a way for a child or teenager to access betting services. Account holders are responsible for taking reasonable steps to keep their credentials and payment information private. In particular, users must not:
- give their username or password to another person;
- allow children or teenagers to use an adult account;
- save a password in a browser on a shared phone or computer;
- use another person’s identity documents; or
- register in an adult’s name when a minor is the person actually using the account.
On a shared device, use a screen lock and avoid storing login details in the browser. Do not disclose SMS codes, OTPs or payment authentication information, even to someone claiming to provide account assistance. Reviewing login and payment activity regularly can help identify access that was not authorised. If anything appears unusual, stop sharing access and contact support. For account access help, visit Amole Bet login. Details about data handling are available in the Privacy Policy.
How Parents or Guardians Can Report Underage Access
A parent or guardian who suspects that a minor has accessed Amole Bet should report the concern as soon as possible. The report should be made through an official support channel and should include enough information to help locate the account, if known:
- the username, phone number or email linked to the account;
- a short explanation of why underage access is suspected; and
- proof of guardianship or other relevant documentation, if requested.
Do not send identity documents, payment records or other sensitive material through an unsecured channel. Wait for support to provide official instructions for submitting documents. To report suspected underage gambling, use Contact Us. Amole Bet reviews these reports seriously and may temporarily restrict the account while the case is assessed. A parent or guardian should not attempt to access the account, guess its password or continue using it to investigate the matter.
Marketing and Bonus Restrictions for Young People
Amole Bet should not intentionally target minors through advertising, promotional codes, bonuses, sports content or game pages. Communications and content should not be designed to appeal specifically to children or to encourage young people to view betting as entertainment intended for them.
- Child-oriented visuals should not be used.
- School-related targeting should not be used.
- Betting should not be presented as income, social status or a solution to financial problems.
- No message should encourage anyone to bypass age or identity checks.
- Bonus access must not be provided before required verification, where verification is applicable.
Bonus terms are explained on Amole Bet bonus code, but promotions are never intended for underage users. Marketing eligibility does not override the legal age requirement or a compliance restriction.
Responsible Gaming and Early Risk Prevention
Preventing underage access is part of responsible gambling. Early exposure to gambling may increase the risk of harmful behaviour, and young users may be less able to understand financial, legal and personal consequences. For that reason, age controls, identity checks and account restrictions are protective safeguards rather than administrative formalities.
Adults should keep betting accounts separate from family devices and finances where possible, explain that children must not use their credentials, and report suspected access promptly. Users who are concerned about their gambling should review the available safeguards and seek appropriate support. For safer gambling tools and risk guidance, visit Responsible Gaming.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age must I be to use Amole Bet in Ethiopia?
You must meet the legal gambling age applicable in Ethiopia and the requirements of the relevant Amole Bet licence conditions. The working threshold for this policy is 21 years or older, unless applicable law or licence terms state otherwise. The current value should be confirmed by compliance before publication.
Can a parent let a teenager use an adult account?
No. An adult must not give a child or teenager access to an account, password, OTP or payment method. Shared family access can lead to an account restriction and may prevent the account holder from completing required checks.
May I verify my account with a relative’s or friend’s ID?
No. Identity documents must belong to the person who owns and uses the account. Account information, verification documents and payment ownership details must correspond. Third-party documents may result in a failed review or further account action.
What happens when Amole Bet identifies an underage account?
The account may be restricted while documents and relevant activity are reviewed. If underage use is confirmed, the account is closed. Any balance, unsettled bets or promotional funds are handled according to applicable law, licence requirements and Amole Bet internal compliance procedures.
How can a parent or guardian report suspected underage gambling?
Use the official Contact Us page and provide the account identifier, if known, together with a clear explanation of the concern. Support may request proof of guardianship through a secure process. Do not send sensitive documents through an unverified channel.
