Konjo Bet applies a strict policy against underage gambling. Betting services are available only to people who have reached the permitted legal age in Ethiopia and who can provide accurate account information when requested. This page explains the minimum age rule, identity and age verification, monitoring of suspicious registrations, restrictions on shared accounts, and the action that may follow when a possible violation is identified. These controls are intended to protect young people, families, account holders and the integrity of the service.
Minimum Age Requirement in Ethiopia
Konjo Bet permits registration and gambling only for users who are 21 years or older, unless applicable law or licence terms state otherwise. Before using any service, the user must confirm that they meet the age requirement applicable to their location and circumstances.
- Registration information must be truthful, complete and kept up to date.
- An account must not be created or operated on behalf of another person.
- Parents’, friends’, relatives’ or other third parties’ identity documents must not be used.
- The age rule applies to sport betting, live betting, keno, games, promotions and account access.
If local law, licence conditions or regulator guidance require stricter controls, Konjo Bet applies the stricter standard. Providing false information does not create a right to use the account or avoid later verification.
How Konjo Bet Verifies Age and Identity
Age verification and Know Your Customer checks help Konjo Bet confirm that an account belongs to the person who opened it and that the person is legally permitted to gamble. The information may be reviewed at registration, during account activity or at another point when compliance controls require it.
Depending on the circumstances, Konjo Bet may request:
- a government-issued ID;
- a passport or national identification document;
- confirmation of the date of birth;
- phone number verification;
- confirmation that the payment method belongs to the account holder; and
- proof of address, if required by compliance checks.
Verification may be required before deposits, withdrawals, bonus use or continued account access. Documents and information must be genuine, readable and consistent with the account details. Konjo Bet does not provide instructions for avoiding, weakening or bypassing KYC checks.
When KYC Checks May Be Required
A review can be opened at different stages of the customer relationship. It may occur:
- during registration;
- before the 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.
Where a check is needed, the account may remain limited until the requested information has been assessed. Refusing or failing to complete verification may result in restricted access, a temporary account block or account closure in accordance with the Terms and Conditions.
What Happens If an Underage Account Is Detected
When information suggests that an account may belong to an underage user, Konjo Bet can place protective restrictions on the account while the facts are reviewed. The process may include the following steps:
- The account is temporarily restricted or blocked.
- The user may be unable to place bets, add funds or withdraw funds until verification is complete.
- The compliance team reviews available documents, account information and relevant account history.
- If it is confirmed that the user is below the permitted age, the account is closed.
- Any further action concerning the balance, bets or promotional funds is determined under site rules, licence requirements and applicable law.
Any balance, unsettled bets or promotional funds will be reviewed according to applicable law, licence requirements and Konjo Bet internal compliance procedures. No automatic refund or payment outcome should be assumed before that review is completed.
Protection Against Third-Party and Family Account Use
An adult account must not be made available to a child or teenager. This prohibition applies even when the device, payment method or account belongs to a parent or another adult in the household.
- Do not give your login details or password to another person.
- Do not allow children or teenagers to use an adult account.
- Do not save a password in a browser on a shared phone or computer.
- Do not upload another person’s documents or register in an adult’s name when someone underage is actually playing.
- Do not share SMS codes, OTPs or payment credentials.
Adults should use a screen lock, review login and payment activity regularly, and contact support if access appears unfamiliar. If you need account access help, visit Konjo Bet login. Details about personal information and account data are available in the Privacy Policy.
How Parents or Guardians Can Report Underage Access
A parent or guardian who suspects that a young person has accessed Konjo Bet should report the concern as soon as possible. The report can be made even when every account detail is not known.
- Contact Konjo Bet support through the official channel.
- Provide the username, phone number or email linked to the account, if known.
- Explain why underage access is suspected and describe any relevant circumstances.
- Provide proof of guardianship or other relevant documentation if support requests it.
- Do not send sensitive documents through an unsecured channel unless official support provides instructions for doing so.
To report suspected underage gambling, use Contact Us. Konjo Bet reviews such reports seriously and may temporarily restrict the account while the case is assessed. Support may request only information necessary to identify the account and handle the report safely.
Marketing and Bonus Restrictions for Young People
Konjo Bet should not intentionally target minors through advertising, promotional codes, bonuses, sports content or gaming pages. Communications and materials should not make betting appear to be a source of income, a marker of status or a solution to financial problems.
- Child-oriented visuals should not be used.
- School-related targeting is not permitted.
- Messages must not encourage anyone to bypass age checks.
- Bonus access must not be provided before required verification, where verification applies.
Bonus rules are explained on Konjo Bet bonus code, but promotions are never intended for underage users. A promotion does not override age, identity, location or other eligibility requirements.
Responsible Gaming and Early Risk Prevention
Keeping minors away from gambling is part of responsible gaming. Early exposure to gambling may increase the risk of harmful behaviour and can affect how a young person understands money, chance and risk. For that reason, age restrictions and KYC are protective controls, not merely administrative steps.
Users should keep account credentials private, respond honestly to verification requests and report suspected access promptly. Parents and guardians can also reduce risk by using device locks, supervising shared devices and avoiding stored passwords or payment details where a young person could access them.
