Rora Bet has a zero-tolerance policy toward gambling by minors. Betting services are intended only for people who have reached the legal gambling age that applies in Ethiopia and under the relevant licence conditions. This policy explains the age limit, identity and age checks, account monitoring, and the steps that may follow if underage access is suspected or confirmed. These controls are intended to protect young people and support compliance; they are not a formality that can be skipped at a user's request.
Minimum Age Requirement in Ethiopia
Rora Bet permits registration and play only for people who are 21 years or older, unless applicable law or licence terms state otherwise. The applicable threshold must be confirmed against current legal and licence requirements. If local law, licence conditions or regulator guidance require stricter controls, Rora Bet applies the stricter standard.
Anyone creating or using an account must provide truthful personal information and must not register on behalf of another person. A parent’s, friend’s, relative’s or other third party’s identity document cannot be used to satisfy an age check. The age restriction applies across all Rora Bet services and account access, including sport betting, live betting, keno, games and promotions. If you are not of the permitted age, do not register, deposit, place bets or use another person's account.
How Rora Bet Verifies Age and Identity
Rora Bet may use identity and age checks to confirm that an account holder is eligible to use its services. A request can be made during account review or when needed to meet compliance requirements. The information requested depends on the circumstances and may include:
- a government-issued ID, passport or national identification document;
- confirmation of date of birth and verification of a phone number;
- confirmation that a payment method belongs to the account holder; or
- proof of address, where required by compliance checks.
Submit only your own, accurate information through the official process provided by Rora Bet. Verification may be required before deposits, withdrawals, bonus use or continued account access. If a request is unclear, contact support through the official Contact Us page rather than sending documents through an unverified channel.
When KYC Checks May Be Required
KYC, or “know your customer” checks, help Rora Bet establish who controls an account and whether that person meets the age requirement. A check may be requested at registration, before a first withdrawal, after suspicious activity, when account and payment details do not match, or when there are signs of third-party use. It may also be required if a user appears to be below the permitted age or following an internal risk review.
If you are asked to verify your details, follow the instructions given by Rora Bet and provide complete, genuine information. Refusing or failing to complete a required check may lead to restricted access, a temporary account block or account closure under the Terms and Conditions. A review may take time; do not create another account to avoid a pending check.
What Happens If an Underage Account Is Detected
If information or a report indicates that an account may belong to, or be used by, someone below the permitted age, Rora Bet may take these steps:
- Temporarily restrict or block the account while the concern is assessed.
- Prevent betting, deposits or withdrawals while verification is pending.
- Have the compliance team review the documents and relevant account history.
- Close the account if it is confirmed that the user is below the permitted age.
Any balance, unsettled bets or promotional funds will be reviewed according to applicable law, licence requirements and Rora Bet internal compliance procedures. The outcome depends on the review and relevant rules; a particular refund or payment outcome is not guaranteed. If your account is restricted, use official support channels to ask about the review and any information needed from you.
Protection Against Third-Party and Family Account Use
An adult account must not be used by a child or teenager. Do not share login details, let another person place bets through your account, use another person's documents, or register in an adult's name when the person actually using the service is underage. Shared household phones and computers can make accidental access more likely, so account security is part of age protection.
- Do not save your password in a browser on a shared device.
- Use a screen lock and sign out when you finish using your account.
- Never share SMS codes or one-time passwords (OTPs), even with someone claiming to provide support.
- Check account sign-ins and payment activity, and report anything you do not recognise.
If access details may have been exposed, stop using the account on shared devices and contact support. For account access help, visit Rora Bet login. Details about data handling are available in the Privacy Policy.
How Parents or Guardians Can Report Underage Access
If you believe a child or teenager has opened or used a Rora Bet account, contact support as soon as possible. A clear report helps the team identify the account and review the concern. If available, include the username, phone number or email linked to the account, and explain why you suspect underage access. Rora Bet may ask for proof of guardianship or other relevant documentation to assess the report.
Do not send sensitive documents through an unsecured channel unless support has provided official instructions for doing so. Rora Bet reviews reports of suspected underage gambling seriously and may temporarily restrict the account while the case is reviewed. Submit a report using Contact Us; avoid sharing a young person's personal details publicly.
Marketing and Bonus Restrictions for Young People
Rora Bet does not intend to target minors through advertising, promo codes, bonuses, sports content or game pages. Communications and materials should not use child-oriented visuals or school-related targeting, present betting as a source of income or status, or suggest that gambling can solve money problems. They must not encourage anyone to bypass age checks.
Promotional access is subject to applicable rules and any required verification; a bonus must not be used to avoid an age or identity check. Bonus rules are explained on Rora Bet bonus code, but promotions are never intended for underage users.
Responsible Gaming and Early Risk Prevention
Early access to gambling may increase the risk of harmful behaviour. Age limits and identity checks are therefore protective measures, not merely account procedures. Adults should keep betting accounts and payment methods inaccessible to children, and should take suspected access seriously rather than treating it as harmless play.
For guidance on safer gambling tools and risk-related support, visit Responsible Gaming. If a young person has accessed an account, secure the device and account first, then report the incident so it can be reviewed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can someone under the minimum age create an account?
No. Rora Bet does not permit anyone below the applicable legal age to register, deposit, place bets or use betting-related services. Do not use an adult's account instead.
What minimum age applies in Ethiopia?
Rora Bet's stated threshold is 21 years or older, unless applicable law or licence terms state otherwise. The current legal and licence requirements should be confirmed by the compliance team before publication and applied to users accordingly.
Can I verify my account using a relative's ID?
No. Verification details must relate to the account holder. Using a parent’s, friend’s or relative’s document is not permitted and may lead to account restrictions or closure.
Can a parent ask Rora Bet to check an account?
Yes. A parent or guardian can report suspected underage access through the official Contact Us page. Include relevant account details if known and provide supporting documentation only through a channel authorised by support.
What if a young person used an adult's phone or payment method?
Secure the device and account, change any exposed password, and do not share verification codes. Contact Rora Bet support so the access can be reviewed. The account holder should not allow a minor to use the account or its payment details.
What happens to an account after underage use is confirmed?
The account may be restricted during review and closed if the user is confirmed to be under the permitted age. Any balance, unsettled bets or promotional funds are handled under applicable law, licence requirements and Rora Bet compliance procedures.
