An Ethiopian sportsbook with a large first-deposit bonus
Not available lawfully hereIs Vamos 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, Vamos 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 Vamos 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.
