Online gambling, including casino games, sports betting, and lotteries like Keno, is illegal in Ethiopia under Proclamation No. 752/2012. The law prohibits all forms of gambling except for state-run lotteries operated by the Ethiopian National Lottery Administration. Any website offering "Habtam Bet" or similar services to Ethiopian residents is operating outside the law.

No. Since the underlying activity of playing online Keno for real money is illegal, any attempt to withdraw funds is also part of an illegal transaction. Financial institutions in Ethiopia are required to block transactions related to online gambling.

The only legal form of gambling in Ethiopia is the state-run National Lottery. It offers various draw-based games, which are the legal alternative to online Keno. All other online betting platforms are unlicensed and operate illegally within the country.

Using an illegal site carries significant risks: your personal and financial data is unprotected, there is no regulatory body to file a complaint with if you are scammed, your bank account could be flagged for suspicious activity, and you have no legal recourse to recover lost funds.

Many offshore gambling operators target markets with restrictive laws because they operate from jurisdictions with lax regulations. They often use aggressive marketing and promises of easy winnings to attract players, fully aware that their services are illegal in the user's home country.

Stop all further deposits immediately. Do not provide any more personal or financial information. Be aware that attempting to withdraw may trigger requests for additional documentation (KYC) which can be used for identity theft. Report the website to the Ethiopian Information Network Security Agency (INSA) if possible.
