Knowing what happens to your information should not require placing a bet. Ethio Lottery Bet respects your privacy and is committed to protecting personal information. We collect account, identity, payment, activity and device information to operate services, verify eligibility, protect accounts and meet applicable obligations. For privacy questions, use Contact Us.
This policy covers visitors and players in Addis Ababa and other Ethiopian regions using our website, mobile version, app, account services, betting products, games, bonuses, payments, support channels and communications. “Personal data” means information that identifies you or can be linked to you. “Processing” includes collecting, checking, using, storing, sharing and deleting that information.
Who We Are
Ethio Lottery Bet provides online betting and gaming services for eligible adult users in Ethiopia, subject to applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, relevant license conditions and regional restrictions. For operator identification, consult About Us. Review License & Regulation and check the competent authority’s latest information to verify the current licensing and regulatory status; this policy does not itself establish authorization.
Information We Collect
The information needed depends on your interaction. Browsing may generate technical records without an account; registration, payments and verification require additional details. Ethio Lottery Bet player information may include:
- Account data: name, phone number, email, date of birth, username and password-related security data.
- Verification data: identity documents, age-check results, KYC information and fraud-prevention records. KYC means “Know Your Customer”: checks used to establish identity and eligibility.
- Transaction data: deposits, withdrawals, payment-method details, payment authorization, balance history and bonus activity.
- Betting and gaming data: bets, odds, results, live betting activity, Keno activity and game sessions.
- Technical data: IP address, device type, browser, operating system, app version, cookies and log files.
- Communication data: support messages, complaints, emails, chat logs and call information, including recordings where applicable and notified.
- Responsible gaming data: limits, self-exclusion requests, relevant risk indicators and account restrictions.
Collection should be limited to information needed for lawful operational, security and regulatory purposes. Do not send unrelated sensitive documents or disclose passwords or one-time login codes to support.
How We Use Personal Data
We use betting account data to create and manage accounts, confirm identity and age, secure login, process deposits and withdrawals, and settle bets, winnings, bonuses and promotions. For example, a withdrawal request may require matching account-holder information against payment records before funds can be released.
Processing also supports detection of fraud, multiple accounts, payment abuse, bonus abuse and suspicious betting activity. Relevant records may help resolve a disputed live bet or explain how a Keno result affected an account balance.
Other purposes include improving the website, app, games and support; sending essential service notices; applying responsible gaming controls; and meeting applicable legal, tax, accounting, anti-money-laundering, licensing and regulatory duties. Marketing is sent only where allowed, with available opt-out options. Opting out of promotions does not stop necessary account or security messages.
Legal Basis / Lawful Reasons
Depending on the activity and applicable law, processing may be necessary to provide requested services, fulfil legal obligations, protect players and the platform, prevent fraud or resolve disputes. Consent is sought where required, and any reliance on another lawful ground must meet the relevant legal conditions.
These purposes do not create unrestricted permission to use data. You can ask our compliance team to confirm the specific lawful reason for a particular use of your information, including any consequences of withdrawing consent.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are small files stored on your device. Together with similar technologies, they may keep you logged in, remember preferences, protect accounts, analyse traffic, improve page performance and support marketing measurement where permitted. App tools may perform similar functions without browser cookies.
See the Cookie Policy for details and available controls. Blocking essential cookies may affect login or account functions; optional tracking should remain subject to applicable consent requirements.
Data Sharing
Ethio Lottery Bet does not sell personal data as a product. Necessary information may be shared with payment processors, identity verification and KYC providers, hosting and cloud infrastructure providers, analytics and security tools, customer support tools and professional advisers.
These third-party service providers are organisations that perform specific tasks for the service. Their access should be limited to the purpose of the disclosure, with appropriate confidentiality and data protection requirements. Information may also be disclosed to regulators, law enforcement or courts when legally required, or in response to a valid lawful request.
International Transfers
Some providers may store or process information outside Ethiopia. Any such transfer must follow applicable legal requirements and suitable safeguards addressing confidentiality, access and secure handling of personal data. Ask support for information about international processing relevant to your account; provider locations should not be assumed from the website’s availability in Ethiopia.
Data Storage and Retention
Records are retained only for as long as necessary for account operation, financial recordkeeping, legal obligations, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, responsible gaming and regulatory requirements. Different categories may have different retention periods.
Closing an account does not necessarily erase every record immediately. A transaction under review or a self-exclusion restriction may require continued retention. When information is no longer needed, it should be securely deleted or anonymised, subject to applicable requirements and backup procedures.
Security Measures
Ethio Lottery Bet data protection relies on reasonable technical and organisational measures. These include encryption where appropriate, access controls, secure login systems, security monitoring, staff confidentiality, backups, fraud detection and internal handling procedures. No online service can promise complete protection against every incident.
For Ethio Lottery Bet account security, use a unique password and access Ethio Lottery Bet login through a verified official channel. Before installing an app or APK, confirm its source through that channel; an unfamiliar download link is not proof of authenticity. Report unexpected login alerts or changes to payment details promptly.
User Rights
Under applicable data protection laws, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection or information about processing. Requests concerning Ethio Lottery Bet personal data may require proportionate identity verification to prevent disclosure to someone else.
- Step 1: Contact support through the official contact page and identify the privacy request.
- Step 2: Describe the records or correction involved, providing only necessary account details.
- Step 3: Complete any justified identity check and request clarification of the response or complaint-handling procedure.
Some requests may be limited by legal, financial, security or regulatory retention duties. We should explain applicable limitations and respond within the period required by law. Ethio Lottery Bet privacy enquiries can also address marketing preferences and available complaint routes.
Age Restrictions and Children’s Data
Services are intended only for eligible adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from underage users. A parent, guardian or other person who believes an underage individual submitted information should contact support so it can be investigated and appropriate restrictions applied. Read the Age Restriction Policy for eligibility requirements.
Responsible Gaming and Account Restrictions
Account activity, deposit limits, self-exclusion requests and relevant risk indicators may be processed to support responsible betting measures and enforce restrictions. Some records may remain necessary after account closure to help prevent excluded users from reopening accounts. Such information should be used proportionately and accessed only for relevant purposes. See Responsible Gaming.
Terms, Bonuses, and Payments
This privacy policy in Ethiopia works alongside the Terms and Conditions, bonus rules, payment checks and anti-fraud controls. Before registration or a deposit, compare available payment options by disclosed fees, transaction limits, processing time and verification requirements—not simply by the number of steps.
A bonus claim may involve eligibility and activity checks; a withdrawal may require further customer due diligence. Read the applicable conditions and retain a record of transaction. Mobile convenience does not remove verification requirements, and support should explain unclear requests through an official communication channel.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change when services, applicable laws, security practices or processing activities change. The revised version will be made available here, with additional notice where required. Review it before providing new categories of information, and ask support to clarify any change that affects your account or privacy choices.
