These Terms and Conditions explain the account rules, betting rules and user obligations for Ethiopian players using Shamo Bet. Read them alongside the rules for each product, payment method and promotion before using the service.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing, registering with, logging into or using Shamo Bet, you agree to follow these terms and the applicable product rules. If you do not agree, stop using the service. Check the current terms before making a transaction; do not assume earlier conditions still apply.
2. Eligibility and Age Restrictions
You must meet the legal minimum age for betting and gaming in your jurisdiction and all other eligibility requirements. Access to the website does not establish eligibility. Availability may depend on your location and applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
Read the Age Restriction Policy and State / Regional Restrictions. Do not bypass age or location checks.
3. Account Registration and User Information
Provide accurate, current account-holder information. This may include your name, phone number, email, date of birth, address, payment details and identity documents where required. Update information when it changes. You may hold only one account unless expressly permitted otherwise, and must not register for another person.
Step 1: Confirm you are using an official domain before opening Shamo Bet registration. Step 2: Enter your own details and complete the checks shown. Step 3: Use Shamo Bet login and keep access details private. You are responsible for activity through your account, subject to applicable law. See the Privacy Policy for data handling.
4. Account Security and Login Responsibility
Protect your password, device, SIM card, email, payment wallet and other credentials. Avoid shared devices and sign out after use. Shamo Bet should never ask you to publish a password or share it with third parties.
Report unauthorized access, lost login details, suspicious activity or possible fraud promptly through the official channels on Contact Us. Do not trust unsolicited messages requesting credentials or payments.
5. Website, App and Service Availability
Access may be provided through the website, mobile version, app or other official channels. Compare available functions and mobile access before choosing a channel; do not assume all versions offer identical features. For the Shamo Bet app, follow official download instructions and avoid APK files from unknown sources.
Maintenance, technical faults, provider downtime, payment interruptions, odds-feed delays, network problems or security checks may interrupt service. Check Shamo Bet open now for published availability information. Unless otherwise stated, support hours, promotion deadlines and operational notices use Ethiopian Time (EAT, UTC+3).
6. Betting Rules
- A bet is accepted only when confirmed by the system. Odds may change before confirmation.
- Check the selection, market, stake and odds on your bet slip before submitting it.
- Rejected, cancelled or voided bets may have stakes returned under the applicable rules.
- Incorrect odds, technical errors, duplicate bets, system abuse or suspicious activity may trigger settlement review.
- Final settlement may depend on official data providers, event organizers and the applicable Shamo Bet rules.
Review market rules in Shamo Bet sport betting, Shamo Bet live and Shamo Bet football. Betting involves loss risk; no selection guarantees a winning outcome.
7. Live Betting, Keno and Games
Live markets, Shamo Bet keno and Shamo Bet games may have separate timing, settlement, round-cancellation, payout and technical rules. Review the rules inside each product before playing. A displayed event or round does not guarantee that a bet can still be accepted.
Outcomes, bet acceptance and payouts may depend on the official game system, provider rules, RNG or certification data where applicable, and published product terms. This does not establish that every product has independent certification.
8. Bonuses and Promotions
Bonuses, free bets, promo codes, cashback and odds boosts have offer-specific conditions. Before using a Shamo Bet bonus code, check:
- Eligibility, start and end dates, and minimum deposit or stake.
- Wagering requirements and qualifying markets or games.
- Maximum bonus amount, maximum winnings from bonus funds and withdrawal limits.
- Bonus abuse restrictions and any permitted cancellation or change provisions.
Compare offers by their conditions, not just the advertised amount. Bonus funds may not be immediately withdrawable. Promotions may be changed or cancelled only where permitted by their rules and applicable law.
9. Deposits, Withdrawals and Payment Rules
Use only payment methods supported by Shamo Bet and held in your own name. Methods, transaction limits, fees and processing times may vary by account status, verification level, risk review and provider availability. Check the displayed conditions before giving payment authorization.
Step 1: Select an available method and review its fees and limits. Step 2: Confirm the deposit or withdrawal details. Step 3: Keep the transaction record and follow any verification request. Compare methods by disclosed costs, processing time and ownership requirements rather than assuming one is faster.
Withdrawals may require identity and payment ownership checks, completed bonus wagering, fraud screening, anti-money-laundering review or other compliance checks. Submitting a request does not guarantee immediate payment.
10. Verification, KYC and Compliance Checks
Customer due diligence and KYC requirements may involve checking identity, age, address, payment ownership, source of funds or account activity. Depending on what is accepted, evidence may include an identity document or passport, proof of address, payment confirmation, a selfie check or other legally acceptable information.
Follow the secure submission instructions provided; do not assume every document type is accepted. Incomplete verification may limit deposits, bonuses, betting, withdrawals or account access under applicable rules.
11. Prohibited Use and Account Abuse
The following are prohibited:
- Underage use, false registration details, unauthorized multiple accounts or using another person's payment method.
- Bonus abuse, collusion, fraud, improper chargebacks or suspicious transactions, including money laundering.
- Unauthorized bots, scripts, automation or scraping, and exploitation of bugs, errors or incorrect odds.
- Abusive behavior toward support staff or attempts to bypass regional restrictions.
Breaches may lead to rejected bets, cancelled bonuses, withdrawal holds during review, account suspension or closure. Any action affecting funds remains subject to applicable rules and law; a review is not itself a finding of wrongdoing.
12. Account Suspension, Blocking and Closure
Shamo Bet may temporarily restrict, suspend, block or close an account because of suspected fraud, failed verification, a responsible gaming request, legal restrictions, payment disputes, security concerns, duplicate accounts, bonus abuse, prohibited location or other breaches.
You may request closure or available limits through official support. Review Responsible Gaming for relevant procedures. Closure does not automatically resolve outstanding bets, payment disputes or compliance checks; ask support how these will be handled.
13. Responsible Gaming
Betting should be entertainment, not income or a solution to financial problems. Set spending and time limits, never chase losses, and stop if gambling causes stress, debt, conflict or loss of control.
Deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion or account closure may be available. Consult Responsible Gaming and ask support which tools apply to your account. Do not create another account to bypass a restriction.
14. Legal Status, License and Regulation
Legal/compliance review required before publication: operator identification, licensing disclosures and jurisdiction-specific terms must be checked against current evidence.
Users should verify the current regulatory status and check the competent authority's latest information. Consult Legal Status in Ethiopia, License & Regulation and About Us. These terms do not establish government approval, a license or compliance with every local requirement.
15. Privacy, Cookies and Data Use
Personal data, account information, cookies and tracking technologies are handled under the Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. Read them for information about data use, secure handling, available choices and privacy rights.
16. Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer
Except where applicable law requires otherwise, Shamo Bet is not responsible for losses caused by user error, poor internet connections, device problems, third-party payment delays, force majeure events, incorrect user information or account misuse. These terms do not exclude rights or liabilities that cannot lawfully be excluded. See the Disclaimer.
17. Complaints and Contact
Use Contact Us for account issues, bet settlement, withdrawals, bonus disputes, verification, responsible gaming or technical problems.
Step 1: Identify the issue and relevant date. Step 2: Provide your username, registered phone or email, bet or transaction ID, and relevant screenshots or earlier support messages through an official communication channel. Step 3: Keep the response and complaint reference, if provided, and request the applicable complaint-handling or escalation procedure if unresolved.
Never publish passwords, payment credentials or sensitive documents in public channels. Submit verification material only through the secure process specified by support.
