Gursha Bet is intended only for legally eligible adult users in Ethiopia. This Age Restriction Policy explains who may register and use the service, how age and identity verification may work, and what action may be taken when underage use is identified or reasonably suspected. These measures help protect minors, prevent unauthorized account access, support responsible gaming, and meet applicable compliance requirements. Age eligibility may depend on current Ethiopian laws and regulations, licensing conditions, product type, and instructions from the competent authority. This page is for user information and does not replace applicable law, official licence conditions, or the Terms and Conditions.

Minimum Age Requirement
Only users who meet the legal minimum age requirement in Ethiopia may use Gursha Bet. Because the applicable threshold must be confirmed against the current regulatory framework and the conditions governing each product, users should verify the latest eligibility requirements before opening or using an account.
If you are below the required age, you must leave the website. You must not:
- Register, log in, or use an account created by another person.
- Deposit money, place sports bets, or request withdrawals.
- Access Keno, live betting, casino-style games, or any paid gaming feature.
- Claim bonuses, enter a bonus code, or participate in promotional offers.
- Use the website, mobile service, app, APK, or any other authorized service channel for real-money gambling.
Gursha Bet may request proof of age before or after registration. Account access, deposits, betting, promotions, or withdrawals may remain restricted until the required checks have been completed.
Why Age Restrictions Are Necessary
Age restrictions are a consumer-protection measure, not simply a registration formality. Gambling can expose minors to financial loss, emotional harm, and patterns of behaviour they may not be equipped to assess or manage. Preventing underage access also reduces unauthorized use of family payment accounts and identity documents.
Effective age controls help preserve the integrity of account ownership, payment authorization, transaction records, bonuses, and withdrawal procedures. They also support a safer environment for verified adults and assist the operator in responding to customer due diligence, KYC requirements, responsible betting measures, and other obligations that may apply under Ethiopian law or internal compliance rules.
Age and Identity Verification
Gursha Bet may ask for documents or account-holder information to confirm a user’s age, identity, mobile number, payment authorization, and ownership of the account. Depending on the applicable requirements, possible evidence may include a national ID, passport, residence document, driver’s licence, mobile-number ownership confirmation, payment-account confirmation, or another legally accepted document. The exact list of accepted documents must be confirmed through the operator’s current compliance procedure.
Verification may be requested during registration, before a deposit, before a withdrawal, after unusual or suspicious activity, or as part of a later compliance review. Users must provide accurate, current, complete, and readable information. Gursha Bet may pause or limit account activity while checks are pending; no specific verification or processing time is guaranteed by this policy.
Recommended verification steps
- Step 1: Check the current age eligibility rule, operator identification, and applicable terms before registration. Confirm that you are using the official domain or an authorized service channel; do not install an APK obtained from an unknown source.
- Step 2: Enter your own legal name, date of birth, mobile number, and other requested account-holder information exactly as shown on your documents.
- Step 3: Submit only your own valid and readable documents through the designated secure channel. Do not send sensitive information through unofficial messages or agents.
- Step 4: Wait for confirmation before attempting restricted transactions. If a document is rejected or verification is delayed, use the official complaint-handling or support channel.
Before depositing or requesting a withdrawal, users should also review disclosed transaction limits, fees, processing times, payment-method ownership rules, and withdrawal requirements. Personal data submitted for verification should be handled in accordance with the Privacy Policy.
What Happens If a Minor Tries to Use Gursha Bet
If Gursha Bet identifies or reasonably suspects that an account is being used by a person below the legal age, it may:
- Suspend, restrict, or permanently close the account.
- Block access to deposits, withdrawals, betting, games, Keno, live betting, bonuses, and promotional offers.
- Cancel bonus benefits, promotional rewards, or pending offers.
- Review transactions and payment methods linked to the account.
- Request additional identity, age, payment, or account-ownership documents.
- Cancel or restrict transactions where permitted or required by the Terms and Conditions and applicable law.
- Take other action required by law, licence conditions, regulatory instructions, or internal compliance requirements.
The handling of deposits, winnings, pending bets, and withdrawal requests will depend on the facts of the case, the applicable terms, and Ethiopian legal requirements. This policy does not make an absolute promise regarding the return or confiscation of funds.
False Information and Account Misuse
Users must not provide a false date of birth, register under another person’s name, use another person’s identity documents, or use someone else’s payment method to bypass verification. A minor must not use a parent’s, relative’s, or friend’s account. Adult account holders must not give a minor access or share passwords, verification codes, devices, or payment credentials with them.
Submitting false age or identity information may lead to account suspension, cancelled transactions, restricted withdrawals, cancellation of promotional benefits, and permanent account closure, subject to applicable law and the Terms and Conditions. Account holders should use a strong password, protect one-time codes, log out on shared devices, and promptly report unauthorized access.
Parents and Guardians
Parents and guardians can reduce the risk of underage access by taking practical precautions:
- Do not share account credentials, mobile-wallet details, bank information, payment passwords, or verification codes with minors.
- Use device passwords, screen locks, parental controls, and age-based content restrictions.
- Keep identity documents and payment accounts secure.
- Monitor shared phones, tablets, and computers for gambling accounts or unknown applications.
- Log out after each session and do not save credentials on a shared device.
If a minor has accessed an account or attempted to register, stop further access and report the matter through Contact Us. Preserve relevant messages and transaction records so the support or compliance team can review the incident.
Bonuses, Promotions, and Age Restrictions
Bonuses and promotions are available only to users who satisfy the applicable age, identity, account, and offer-specific eligibility requirements. A person below the legal age cannot claim a Gursha Bet bonus code or receive promotional benefits. Age and identity checks may be required before a promotion is credited or used. False age information, duplicate identities, or other bonus misuse may result in cancellation of benefits and further account restrictions under the applicable terms.
Relation to Other Policies
This policy should be read together with the Terms and Conditions, which govern account and transaction rules, and the Responsible Gaming policy, which explains measures such as self-exclusion and deposit limits where available. Users should also review the Legal Status in Ethiopia and License & Regulation pages for current information about the service’s regulatory and licensing status.
No statement on this page should be interpreted as government approval or legal advice.
