Ethiopian Lottery Service revokes all sports betting licences
The Ethiopian Lottery Service said it revoked the operating licences of all sports betting organisations effective 15 December 2025, following a nationwide investigation and government directives. The order prohibits betting through any channel, requires operators to stop taking bets and providing deposit gateways, and instructs financial institutions to block related transactions.
The revocation bars sports betting operations nationwide and requires financial institutions to halt related transactions.
