Self-Exclusion Guide for Awash Bet Users in Ethiopia

What Is Self-Exclusion?

Awash Bet self-exclusion means asking the operator to block or restrict your account so you cannot continue betting during the exclusion period. It is a serious account protection measure, not simply a change to your login preferences.

It is different from:

• Logging out, because you can normally log back in.
• Deleting the app, because other access routes may remain available.
• Taking a break without applying an account restriction.
• Setting deposit or time limits, which may still allow betting within those limits.

Self-exclusion is stronger because it is intended to prevent normal account access for betting activity.

When Should You Consider Self-Exclusion?

If betting feels hard to control, you do not need to wait for the situation to become worse before asking for help. Warning signs can include:

• Betting with money needed for bills, rent, transport or food.
• Chasing losses by placing more bets.
• Hiding betting activity from family or friends.
• Feeling stress, guilt or anger after betting.
• Trying to stop but returning repeatedly.
• Using borrowed money to place bets.
• Betting during work, study or family time.
• Feeling that betting is no longer entertainment.

Recognising these signs is a reason to seek support, not a reason to blame yourself.

Temporary vs Permanent Self-Exclusion

Temporary self-exclusion

This restricts betting access for a fixed period. It may suit someone who wants to take a break from betting through a short cooling-off period or a longer pause. Available options must be confirmed with support.

Permanent self-exclusion

This is a request to block betting access indefinitely or permanently, depending on operator policy and local compliance requirements. It may not be reversible, or any future access may require a strict review.

The exact processing time and available exclusion periods should be confirmed by Awash Bet support. Ask whether you need self-exclusion rather than ordinary account closure, as the protections may differ.

How to Request Self-Exclusion

1. Log in to your Awash Bet account if access is still available.
2. Look in account settings, the responsible gaming area or the support section.
3. Choose “Self-Exclusion” or “Account Restriction” if available. If no tool is visible, contact support.
4. Select or request temporary or permanent self-exclusion.
5. Confirm your request and check that the requested restriction is clear.
6. Wait for confirmation from Awash Bet and retain a copy for your records.
7. Do not create another account to bypass the restriction.

If you cannot access your account, use the official channels listed on Contact Us. You can say: “I want to restrict my betting account through self-exclusion. Please confirm the available options and when the restriction takes effect.”

Do not assume the restriction is active until confirmed. While waiting, stop using betting services; logging out or removing the app can support your decision but does not replace self-exclusion.

What Information May Be Needed?

To identify the correct account, support may ask for:

• Your full name.
• Your registered phone number or email address.
• Your account ID, if available.
• Your date of birth or identity confirmation.
• Your requested exclusion period or permanent restriction.
• Confirmation that you understand the restriction.

Support may request identity confirmation to protect the account. Use only official support channels, and never share your password or one-time login codes.

What Happens After Self-Exclusion Is Applied?

Once applied, an Awash Bet account restriction should prevent further betting. Ask support to confirm its scope and treatment of existing account activity.

• Bets: You should not be able to place new bets.
• Deposits: Deposits should be blocked.
• Marketing: Promotional offers and bonus messages should stop where technically and legally possible, although this may not happen immediately.
• Bonuses: Active bonuses may be cancelled under the Terms and Conditions.
• Balance: Withdrawal of remaining eligible funds depends on verification, payment method rules and applicable terms. Instant withdrawals or access to every balance amount cannot be guaranteed.
• Support: Assistance may remain available for account closure, balance and document issues.

Ask how any unsettled bets will be handled. Read the Privacy Policy for information about personal data; self-exclusion does not necessarily mean immediate deletion of account records.

Can Self-Exclusion Be Cancelled Early?

Self-exclusion is designed to protect you, so early cancellation may not be available. Do not assume that a temporary restriction can be lifted before its end date or that a permanent restriction can be reversed.

If Awash Bet policy permits reconsideration, it should require support review, identity confirmation and possibly a cooling-off period. Reopening is not guaranteed. Ask whether any action is required when a temporary exclusion ends.

Account Access, Login and App Restrictions

Self-exclusion should restrict betting features connected to your account, including website login-based betting, mobile app betting, sports betting pages, live betting, games and keno.

Normal login may be blocked, or access may be limited to non-betting functions under operator policy. Support should explain how to address balance or verification matters if login is unavailable.

Do not test the restriction by placing bets or try to bypass it through another account or access route.

Other Responsible Gaming Tools

Other gambling control tools may include deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders, time-outs, reality checks, marketing opt-out and full account closure. Availability must be confirmed with support.

Betting account limits may help manage exposure, but they are not a substitute for self-exclusion when you need to stop betting access. See Responsible Gaming for related information about responsible gaming in Ethiopia and the Age Restriction Policy for age requirements.

Legal and Regional Notes for Ethiopia

Availability of betting services, account tools and restrictions may depend on Ethiopian law, licensing status, regional access rules, operator policy and payment-channel limitations. This guide is not legal advice and does not confirm licensing or regulatory approval.

Support When Betting Feels Hard to Control

If you feel unable to control gambling behaviour, stop using betting services and speak to someone you trust or a qualified support organisation or healthcare professional. Friends and relatives can offer support, although account changes may require the account holder’s confirmation.

If you believe you may harm yourself or someone else, seek urgent local emergency help immediately.
