Privacy matters before you create an account, submit identification, make a payment, or place a bet. This Afro Bet Privacy Policy explains how Afro Bet collects, uses, stores, protects, and shares information connected with its services in Ethiopia. It applies to the website, mobile version, app services, account registration and login, payments, sports betting, live betting, Keno, games, bonuses, customer support, and other communications with users.
In short, we collect information needed to operate services securely, verify eligibility, process transactions, settle betting activity, meet compliance requirements, and improve the user experience. We use Afro Bet personal data only for relevant operational, security, legal, and regulatory purposes. For questions about Afro Bet privacy or a request concerning your information, please use Contact Us.
Who We Are
Afro Bet provides online betting and gaming services for eligible adult users in Ethiopia, subject to applicable rules, eligibility requirements, local restrictions, and the operator’s terms. Information about the operator and its services is available on our About Us page. Users may also review License & Regulation and should verify the current licensing and regulatory status through available official information and the competent authority’s latest guidance.
This privacy policy in Ethiopia is intended to help visitors, registered players, and people contacting support understand how betting account data is handled throughout the service relationship.
Information We Collect
Personal data means information that identifies a person directly or can reasonably be linked to that person. Afro Bet seeks to obtain only information necessary for lawful, operational, security, consumer protection, and regulatory purposes.
- Account data: name, phone number, email address, date of birth, username, and password-related security information.
- Identity and verification data: identification documents, age-check information, KYC requirements, customer due diligence records, and fraud-prevention details. KYC means “Know Your Customer” and is an identity verification process.
- Transaction data: deposits, withdrawals, payment authorization details, payment method information, account balance history, records of transaction, bonus activity, and relevant transaction limits.
- Betting and gaming data: bets placed, odds accepted, results, winnings, live betting activity, Keno activity, game sessions, and promotion participation.
- Technical data: IP address, browser type, device identifiers, operating system, app version, cookies, log files, and security-monitoring records.
- Communication data: emails, chat messages, calls where recorded or permitted, complaints, support tickets, and correspondence through an authorized service channel.
- Responsible gaming data: deposit limits, self-exclusion requests, account restrictions, and relevant risk indicators.
For example, a withdrawal procedure may require an identity check where account-holder information, payment details, or account activity needs confirmation. This helps reduce unauthorized access, payment abuse, and fraud while protecting legitimate users.
How We Use Personal Data
Afro Bet processes information to create and manage accounts, confirm age eligibility, provide secure login, process deposits and withdrawals, and settle bets, winnings, bonuses, and promotions. Betting records may also be needed to show the outcome of a wager or to investigate a dispute about an odds selection, a game session, or a payment.
Afro Bet data protection activities can also include detecting multiple accounts, suspicious betting patterns, bonus abuse, unauthorized payment activity, and attempts to bypass account restrictions. Technical information may help identify unusual login attempts, such as access from an unfamiliar device or repeated failed sign-in attempts.
We may use aggregated or appropriately limited information to improve website performance, mobile access, app reliability, customer support, and the availability of betting products. Important service communications, including account-security notices, verification requests, payment updates, or changes to applicable terms, may be sent when necessary. Marketing communications are sent only where allowed, and available opt-out options should be respected.
Processing may further be required for tax, accounting, anti-money-laundering, licensing, legal, and regulatory duties, as well as responsible betting measures.
Legal Basis / Lawful Reasons
Afro Bet handles personal data when it is reasonably necessary to provide requested services, operate an account, meet applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, protect users and the platform, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, or comply with regulatory framework requirements. Where consent is required, such as for certain marketing or optional tracking activities, processing may be based on that consent.
Some information cannot be removed immediately if it is needed for a legal obligation, financial record, fraud review, complaint-handling procedure, or regulatory requirement. This does not mean data is kept without purpose; retention should remain connected to a legitimate operational or compliance need.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are small files placed on a browser or device. Afro Bet may use cookies and similar technologies to maintain a session, remember preferences, support secure login, detect security risks, analyse traffic, improve loading performance, and measure permitted marketing activity. A cookie can help keep an account holder signed in without repeatedly entering credentials, but users should avoid using this feature on a shared device.
Further information about these technologies and available choices can be found in the Cookie Policy.
Data Sharing
Afro Bet does not sell personal data as a product. Access may, however, be provided to contracted third parties where necessary to deliver, secure, or administer the services. These may include payment processors, identity verification providers, hosting and cloud infrastructure providers, analytics and security tools, customer support systems, professional advisers, and authorized agents acting for a defined service purpose.
Information may also be disclosed to regulators, law enforcement bodies, courts, or other competent authorities where disclosure is legally required or necessary to protect rights, investigate fraud, or respond to a valid request. Third-party access should be limited to the relevant purpose and subject to appropriate confidentiality, security, and processing controls.
International Transfers
Some specialist providers used for hosting, security, analytics, payments, or support may process data outside Ethiopia. Where this occurs, Afro Bet should apply applicable legal requirements and suitable safeguards for international processing. Availability of a provider or service channel may depend on local requirements and operational arrangements.
Data Storage and Retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably needed for account operation, customer support, payment processing, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, financial and accounting records, responsible gaming controls, and legal or regulatory obligations. Retention periods may differ by record type. For instance, a closed account may no longer be active, while certain payment or verification records may need to remain available for compliance requirements.
Security Measures
Afro Bet uses reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to safeguard personal information. These measures may include encryption where appropriate, controlled access, secure login systems, staff confidentiality obligations, backups, monitoring, fraud detection, and internal incident-management procedures. No online system can promise absolute security, so users also have an important role in protecting their credentials.
Step 1: Access your account only through the official domain or the authorized app channel. Step 2: Keep your password private and avoid saving it on public or shared devices. Step 3: If you notice unusual account activity, change your password where available and contact support promptly through Afro Bet login or the official support channel.
User Rights
Depending on applicable data protection laws, users may have the right to request access to their personal data, ask for correction of inaccurate information, seek deletion or restriction of certain processing, object to particular uses, or request information about how data is handled. A privacy enquiry should contain enough account-holder information for Afro Bet to verify the requester and protect the account from unauthorized disclosure.
To make a request, use Contact Us and clearly describe the information or action requested. Some requests may be limited where records must be retained for legal, financial, security, fraud-prevention, or regulatory reasons.
Age Restrictions and Children’s Data
Afro Bet services are intended only for eligible adult users. We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from underage persons. If a parent, guardian, or user believes that underage data has been submitted, they should contact support without delay. Review the Age Restriction Policy for the applicable age restriction and eligibility information.
Responsible Gaming and Account Restrictions
Account activity, limits, self-exclusion requests, and relevant risk indicators may be processed to support responsible betting measures and enforce account restrictions. This can include applying a deposit limit, restricting access after a valid self-exclusion request, or reviewing activity where intervention may be appropriate under platform rules. More information is available through Responsible Gaming.
Terms, Bonuses, and Payments
This policy works alongside the Terms and Conditions, bonus rules, payment checks, anti-fraud controls, and product-specific conditions. Data connected with an Afro Bet bonus code, Afro Bet sport betting, Afro Bet live, Afro Bet keno, or Afro Bet games may be processed to administer the relevant service, confirm eligibility, apply limits, and maintain transparent records.
Before registering or authorizing a payment, users should review verification requirements, transaction limits, processing time, possible fees, withdrawal conditions, and available support channels. Clear records and careful review of account notices can help prevent avoidable delays.
Updates to This Policy
Afro Bet may update this Privacy Policy when services, security practices, legal obligations, technology, or data-processing activities change. The current version published on this page applies from the time it is made available. Users are encouraged to review the policy periodically, particularly before providing new information, using a new payment method, or continuing to use account services after a material update.
