Responsible Gaming

Gambling is entertainment, not a way to earn income. This page covers the tools available on DashBet Ethiopia to manage your gambling, the warning signs of harmful play and support contacts available in Ethiopia.

Account tools – limits and self-exclusion

DashBet Ethiopia provides account-level controls accessible from your profile settings. Deposit limits let you set a daily, weekly or monthly cap on how much you can add to your account. Once set, a limit can be lowered immediately but requires a cooling-off period — typically 24 hours — before it can be raised again. This asymmetry is intentional: it protects decisions made during a losing session.

Self-exclusion suspends your account for a chosen period — 1 month, 3 months, 6 months or permanently. During exclusion, you cannot log in, deposit or place bets. To activate self-exclusion or deposit limits, go to Account → Responsible Gambling in the DashBet Ethiopia app or desktop platform, or contact support directly via the partner site.

Warning signs of problem gambling

Gambling becomes harmful when it starts affecting finances, relationships or mental health. Common warning signs include: chasing losses by placing larger or more frequent bets; borrowing money or selling assets to fund gambling; lying to family or colleagues about gambling activity; feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling; continuing to bet despite wanting to stop. If any of these apply to you or someone you know, the tools and contacts below are a practical first step.
