An Ethiopian sportsbook whose operating licence was revoked nationwide, along with every other licensed operator, effective 15 December 2025
Not available lawfully hereIs GLXWin (Galaxy Betting) legal in Ethiopia?
No. Real-money gambling is banned in Ethiopia. Under the Ethiopian Lottery Service's nationwide revocation of every sports betting licence, effective 15 December 2025, in force since 2025, GLXWin (Galaxy Betting) cannot lawfully offer you a welcome bonus here, and you cannot lawfully claim one.
Ethiopia did not restrict betting - it abolished the licensed sector outright. On 15 December 2025 the Ethiopian Lottery Service revoked the licences of every sports betting operator in the country with immediate effect, covering online platforms, retail shops, agents and the payment services attached to them, after a twelve-month federal investigation found systemic breaches of operating terms and illicit money transfers. It followed the suspension of 22 firms in November accused of concealing more than 100 billion birr (about USD 1.8 billion). Banks and payment institutions were ordered to block transactions linked to the revoked operators. That last point is the one that matters to you: there is no longer a licensed operator in Ethiopia to claim a bonus from, and the payment rails to move money in or out have been shut off. Any site still taking Ethiopian bets is doing so without a licence, and no Ethiopian regulator can help you recover funds from it. source
Any GLXWin (Galaxy Betting) bonus you see advertised for Ethiopia is offered from an offshore site operating against local law. Your payments can be blocked, your account can vanish with a mirror domain, and no Ethiopia regulator can help you recover funds. We therefore show no offer and no sign-up link on this page.

Pros
Cons
- Operating licence revoked nationwide effective 15 December 2025
- Part of a blanket shutdown following corruption and financial-crime investigations (over 100 billion birr in revenue irregularities)
- No legal sports betting sector currently exists in Ethiopia
Our verdict
GLXWin's Ethiopian operating licence was revoked, along with every other licensed sports betting operator in the country, effective 15 December 2025. Ethiopia's National Lottery Administration took this nationwide action following investigations into widespread corruption, financial crimes, and national security concerns, citing revenue irregularities exceeding 100 billion birr. Given this blanket, government-ordered shutdown of the entire legal sector, we recommend against depositing with GLXWin or any other Ethiopian-licensed sportsbook until the situation is resolved and a new, confirmed licence is in place.
