Privacy matters before you create an account, use a mobile browser or app, make a payment, place a bet, or contact support. Habesha Bet is committed to clear and responsible handling of Habesha Bet personal data. This policy explains what information we collect, why we use it, and how you can ask questions about Habesha Bet privacy through our official support channels.
This policy applies to the Habesha Bet website, mobile services, account registration and login, betting products, live betting, Keno, games, bonuses, deposits, withdrawals, customer support, and other communications with users. We collect only information reasonably needed for operational, security, lawful, regulatory, and service-related purposes.
Who We Are
Habesha Bet provides online betting and gaming services for eligible adult users in Ethiopia, subject to applicable rules, license conditions, eligibility requirements, and regional restrictions. Information about the operator and its services is available on our About Us page. Users should verify the current licensing and regulatory status through official operator information and the competent authority’s latest guidance where relevant. Please also review License & Regulation.
Information We Collect
Personal data means information that identifies you directly or can reasonably be connected to you. Processing means collecting, recording, using, sharing, storing, or deleting that information.
- Account data: name, phone number, email address, date of birth, username, and password-related security information.
- Identity and verification data: documents or details used for age checks, identity verification, KYC requirements, customer due diligence, and fraud prevention.
- Transaction data: deposits, withdrawals, payment authorization details, balance history, payment method information, bonus activity, and records of transaction.
- Betting and gaming data: bets placed, odds, results, settlement records, live betting actions, Keno activity, game sessions, and promotion participation.
- Technical data: IP address, browser, device type, operating system, app version, cookies, log files, and security-monitoring information.
- Communication data: emails, chat messages, calls where recorded or permitted, complaints, and support correspondence.
- Responsible gaming data: deposit limits, account restrictions, self-exclusion requests, and risk indicators connected with responsible betting measures.
For example, an identity check may be requested before a withdrawal is processed, or account activity may be reviewed where unusual payment or betting behaviour requires confirmation. We do not seek unnecessary sensitive information simply because a user visits the site.
How We Use Personal Data
Habesha Bet data protection measures support the secure operation of betting account data throughout the user journey. We process information to create and manage accounts, confirm age eligibility, protect login access, process deposits and withdrawals, and settle bets, winnings, bonuses, and promotions.
Account-holder information may also be used to identify multiple accounts, payment abuse, bonus abuse, suspicious betting patterns, attempted fraud, or unauthorised access. In a typical withdrawal procedure, transaction records and verification details may be checked to help confirm that payment is released to the correct account holder.
Other purposes include improving website performance, mobile access, games, support quality, and service reliability; sending essential account or security notices; meeting tax, accounting, anti-money-laundering, licensing, and regulatory duties; and applying responsible gaming controls. Marketing communications are sent only where permitted and subject to available preference or opt-out options.
Legal Basis / Lawful Reasons
Habesha Bet may handle personal data where it is necessary to provide requested services, meet applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, fulfil compliance requirements, protect users and the platform, prevent fraud, maintain security, resolve disputes, or respond to valid requests from a competent authority. Where required, processing may also rely on your consent.
Some processing is necessary to operate an account: without accurate age, identity, or payment information, certain services or transactions may be unavailable. The precise lawful reasons may depend on the type of data, the service used, and applicable legal requirements.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are small files stored on a browser or device. Habesha Bet and its authorised service channels may use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember preferences, detect unusual device activity, analyse traffic, improve page performance, and support permitted marketing measurement.
Cookies do not remove the need for sensible account security. Avoid signing in on shared devices, and log out after using a public connection. More information is available in our Cookie Policy.
Data Sharing
Habesha Bet does not sell personal data as a product. Access may be provided to trusted third parties only where needed to deliver, secure, review, or administer our services. These may include payment processors, identity verification and KYC providers, hosting or cloud infrastructure providers, analytics and cybersecurity tools, customer support systems, professional advisers, and authorities, courts, or law-enforcement bodies when legally required.
Third-party access should be limited to the relevant purpose, such as confirming a payment, completing customer due diligence, or investigating a security incident. Contracted providers are expected to handle information appropriately and in line with applicable obligations.
International Transfers
Some specialist providers may process information outside Ethiopia, for example where cloud, security, payment, or technical support systems are used. If international processing occurs, Habesha Bet should apply suitable safeguards and follow applicable legal requirements for cross-border handling of personal data. Countries and transfer arrangements may change as service providers change.
Data Storage and Retention
We retain data only for as long as reasonably necessary for account operation, financial records, payment reconciliation, fraud prevention, complaint-handling procedure, responsible gaming records, dispute resolution, and regulatory or legal obligations. Retention periods can differ by record type.
Closing an account does not always mean every record can be deleted immediately. Certain information may need to be kept where required for legal, financial, security, audit, or regulatory reasons. Once retention is no longer justified, information should be deleted, anonymised, or otherwise securely managed.
Security Measures
Habesha Bet uses reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. These may include access controls, encryption where appropriate, secure login systems, monitoring, backups, confidentiality obligations for relevant staff, fraud detection, and internal procedures for security incidents.
No online service can promise absolute security. A practical account-security routine is:
- Step 1: Confirm that you are using the official Habesha Bet domain or authorised service channel before entering account details.
- Step 2: Use a strong, unique password and do not share one-time codes, passwords, or identity documents through unofficial contacts.
- Step 3: If login activity appears unfamiliar, change your credentials and contact support through Habesha Bet login or an official support channel.
User Rights
Depending on applicable data protection laws, you may have the right to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate details, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, or information about how data is handled. You may also ask about marketing preferences or submit a privacy enquiry.
To make a request, use Contact Us and provide enough information for us to verify your identity and locate the relevant account. Some requests may be limited when records must be retained for legal, financial, security, consumer protection, or regulatory purposes.
Age Restrictions and Children’s Data
Habesha Bet services are intended only for eligible adult users. We do not knowingly collect personal data from underage users. If a parent, guardian, or user believes that underage information has been submitted, they should contact support promptly. Read the Age Restriction Policy for further information about age eligibility.
Responsible Gaming and Account Restrictions
To support responsible betting measures, Habesha Bet may process account activity, limits, self-exclusion requests, account restrictions, and relevant risk indicators. This can help apply a user’s chosen controls, review potential harm indicators, and meet platform rules or compliance requirements. Details of available tools and guidance are provided under Responsible Gaming.
Terms, Bonuses, and Payments
This policy works alongside the platform’s Terms and Conditions, payment checks, anti-fraud controls, and any applicable promotion rules. Before using a Habesha Bet bonus code, users should review eligibility conditions, transaction limits, processing time, wagering requirements, and any disclosure of fees or limits.
Data connected with Habesha Bet sport betting, Habesha Bet live, Habesha Bet keno, and Habesha Bet games may be processed to record activity, settle outcomes, apply limits, investigate disputes, and protect service integrity.
Updates to This Policy
Habesha Bet may update this Privacy Policy when services, security practices, data processing activities, legal requirements, or regulatory expectations change. The latest version published on this page applies from its publication date. We encourage users to review the policy periodically, particularly before providing new information, completing KYC, or using payment-related services.
