What Is KYC
How Afro Betting verifies your identity before withdrawals are processed
To pay out winnings, Afro Betting must perform Know Your Customer (KYC) checks, as required by betting regulations. Operating under licence NLA/Bet/012/2021 from Ethiopia's National Lottery Administration, Afro Betting uses this process to authenticate your age and verify your identity.
Open the Verification Tab
Go to your account and find the verification section in your profile. Follow the instructions displayed on your screen. The entire process moves much faster when you gather your documents beforehand, typically finishing in about five minutes.
Upload a Photo ID
Accepted forms of identity include a passport, national ID, or driver's license. When you scan this document, make sure all four sides appear clearly, and the expiration date must be fully visible without any obstruction.
Provide Proof of Address
To verify your address, provide either a Telebirr transaction record or a recent utility bill (from within the last 90 days). Your full name and the address where you currently reside must be clearly shown on the submitted document.
Confirm Your Payment Method
Those using CBE Birr or cards might be required to submit a brief statement confirming account ownership. For holders of TRON or USDT wallets, we verify by examining your recent transaction activity.
Wait for Approval
The verification review typically concludes in under 24 hours. After your account passes all checks, you'll receive notification via email or Telegram confirming you can now withdraw funds.
Dashboard Upload
Upload your documents directly to your profile to complete verification as quickly as possible.
Email Submission
Should the in-app upload not work, you can send your scanned documents to the support contact shown in your account.
Live Chat Assist
Start a live chat with support to learn exactly which documents you need to submit.
When Verification Is Required
Certain account activities require identity verification per license NLA/Bet/012/2021
The National Lottery Administration of Ethiopia granted Afro Betting license NLA/Bet/012/2021. Identity checks apply during specific account events rather than automatically at registration.
First Withdrawal
All accounts must complete identity verification before their first payout can be processed. A government-issued ID and proof of address form the minimum required documentation.
Large Transactions
ETB 50,000 or above on a single withdrawal or ETB 200,000 or above in cumulative monthly deposits will trigger enhanced due-diligence checks under NLA rules.
New Payment Method
If you add Telebirr, CBE Birr, or a cryptocurrency wallet such as TRON, USDT, or Bitcoin following your initial deposit, you must provide proof of ownership for that method.
Bonus Activation
The 97% welcome promotion and certain other offers require verification as a condition. Winnings are held until your verification is successfully completed.
Regulatory Request
At any time, the National Lottery Administration of Ethiopia may request supporting documents. Afro Betting ensures these requests are delivered to the account holder immediately.
Security Flag
Suspected unauthorized access triggers an immediate withdrawal suspension. Once verification is complete and identity is confirmed, the suspension is lifted.
Scanned document copies should be sent to the compliance team via email. A response will be provided within one business day.
Live Chat
Create a verification case using the live chat feature. The support team will inform you of necessary documents and monitor your submission progress.
Phone
Contact the support team by phone for complete instructions before uploading documents.
Telegram

Required Documents
Gathering everything you need for verification submission
To complete verification at Afro Betting, you must provide identity documents compliant with the National Lottery Administration of Ethiopia (license NLA/Bet/012/2021). At minimum, submit one government photo ID such as a national identity card or passport. You'll also need proof of residence, which can be a utility bill or bank statement from the last three months.
Should your account be funded using Telebirr, CBE Birr, Visa, or Mastercard, payment method verification might be required. Credit and debit cards typically need a screenshot displaying the holder's name and final four digits. Mobile payment services such as Telebirr or CBE Birr require an app transaction screenshot as proof of ownership.
Ensure all submitted materials are legible and unaltered. No glare, cropping, or modifications permitted. Both scanned documents and photographs taken on phones are acceptable provided text is readable. Afro Betting's compliance department processes submissions in 24 to 48 hours. Should any updates be needed, you'll be notified via email, live chat, or Telegram. Pending verification may restrict withdrawals until the review concludes.

Verification Timelines
Duration of each KYC verification stage at Afro Betting
The majority of players at Afro Betting see their verification completed between 24 and 48 hours after they submit their documents. The compliance department, authorized under license NLA/Bet/012/2021 from Ethiopia's National Lottery Administration, processes each account individually instead of grouping them together. This approach means that well-prepared submissions with accurate information frequently get approved in considerably less than the full 48 hours.
When Afro Betting asks for extra documentation, such as when submitted address proof differs from the registered information, you'll have a 14-day period to provide it. If you don't meet this deadline, you'll need to begin the verification process again from the start. The quickest way to find out exactly which files are needed is to reach out via live chat or Telegram.
Accounts selected for heightened verification checks, which typically occurs following high-value ETB transactions or mismatches between your ID details and your payment information, may require up to 72 hours for complete assessment. This 72-hour period remains consistent regardless of your payment method, be it Telebirr, CBE Birr, or cryptocurrency options like TRON or USDT.
After your account receives approval, Telebirr and CBE Birr withdrawals typically clear by the end of the same business day. Bitcoin and USDT transfers usually arrive between two and four hours following the approval decision, as long as no extra verification requirements pop up.
What to Do If Verification Is Refused
What to do if your documents get rejected and how to proceed with escalation
Document rejections typically result from one of three issues: poor scan quality, an expired ID, or a name discrepancy between your Telebirr or CBE Birr account and your registration details. Carefully review the rejection message before resubmitting.
Obtain a fresh copy of your document with a clear, sharp photo displaying all four edges. File size is important, as images below 200 KB may lack sufficient quality for the review team to assess. Submit through your account dashboard and expect up to 48 hours for the next assessment.
If your second attempt is rejected, contact Afro Betting support using live chat or Telegram. The support staff will specify which field caused the rejection, eliminating further uncertainty. Email and phone options are available if you need a written account of your conversation.
For complaints that support cannot resolve, the National Lottery Administration of Ethiopia (licence NLA/Bet/012/2021) functions as your formal escalation authority. Filing a complaint with them is your final recourse, and the process is officially available and recognized.
