Short answer

Can players in Ethiopia use new online casinos?

Not legally. Ethiopia licenses no online casinos and revoked all betting licences in December 2025. Some offshore brands still accept players, but using them carries legal risk and no local protection.

In depth

What the law says

  • Online casinos: not licensed.
  • Sports betting: all licences revoked by the Ethiopian Lottery Service in December 2025.
  • Players: taking part in unauthorised gambling is a petty offence punishable by a fine or arrest.

Payments

Offshore casinos rarely support the Ethiopian birr. Deposits usually go through cards, e-wallets or crypto, with conversion costs, and payments can be blocked.

Risks to weigh

  • Legal risk for players as well as operators.
  • No local regulator for disputes.
  • Unstable payment routes: withdraw early, keep balances low.

Questions

New casinos in Ethiopia: questions

Are online casinos legal in Ethiopia?

No. None is licensed, and betting licences were revoked in December 2025.

Can players be punished?

Yes. Taking part in unauthorised gambling can bring a fine or arrest under the Criminal Code.

Do offshore casinos accept Ethiopian players?

Some do, but they hold no Ethiopian licence.

Can I play in birr?

Rarely. Expect US dollars or euros and a conversion fee.

Responsible gaming

Play only if you are 19+ and it stays fun

These rules apply on every page of this site. A young casino has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.

19+ only

Adults only, everywhere

You must be 19 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.

Responsible gaming
New brands

Start small with an unknown casino

Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
