Minimum Age Requirement
Only users who meet the legal minimum gambling age in Ethiopia may use Mezzo Bet. A specific numerical threshold is not stated here because no legally confirmed threshold has been provided for this policy. Age requirements may depend on current Ethiopian law, licensing conditions, product type, and instructions from the competent authority. Adult status alone does not establish eligibility for every product.
If you are below the required age, leave the website. You must not register, log in, use another person’s account, deposit money, place sports or live bets, access Keno or other games, claim bonuses, use promotional offers, or access any paid gaming feature.
Proof of age may be requested before or after registration. Access may remain restricted until verification is complete. If the applicable threshold is unclear, ask support to confirm eligibility before opening an account or making a payment.
Why Age Restrictions Are Necessary
Age checks help protect minors from gambling-related financial and emotional harm. They also help prevent unauthorized account use and support compliance with applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations.
Confirming account-holder information supports account security, payment authorization, and the integrity of withdrawals and promotions. These controls create a more accountable environment for eligible adults; they do not eliminate the financial risks of gambling.
Age and Identity Verification
Mezzo Bet may request documents to confirm age, identity, and account ownership as part of customer due diligence and Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. Possible evidence includes:
- A national ID, passport, residence document, or driver’s licence.
- Confirmation of mobile number ownership or payment account ownership.
- Other documents accepted under applicable legal and compliance requirements.
These are examples, not a confirmed list of accepted documents. The compliance team must confirm the exact requirements for your case. Information must be accurate, current, readable, and consistent with the account holder’s details.
Checks may occur during registration, before a deposit or withdrawal, after suspicious activity, or following a compliance review. Account activity may be paused while checks are pending. No instant approval or fixed processing time is promised.
Recommended verification steps
- Step 1: Confirm the required document and submission method through an official support channel. Check the operator identification and website address before sharing personal data.
- Step 2: Submit readable documents through the designated secure channel. Do not send account passwords, payment PINs, or one-time login codes.
- Step 3: Follow any request for clarification and wait for the outcome before attempting restricted transactions. Do not create another account to avoid checks.
A mobile website, app, or APK does not change eligibility requirements. Do not assume that fewer registration steps mean fewer verification obligations. Before using any access channel, check its authenticity, document requirements, payment limits, fees, and withdrawal procedure. No specific app availability or functionality is confirmed by this policy.
What Happens If a Minor Tries to Use Mezzo Bet
If an account is identified or reasonably suspected to be used by someone below the required age, Mezzo Bet may:
- Suspend or close the account.
- Block betting, gaming, bonuses, deposits, and withdrawals.
- Cancel bonuses, promotional benefits, or pending offers.
- Review transactions and request additional documentation.
- Take action required by applicable law, licence conditions, or internal compliance rules.
The handling of balances, pending bets, and transactions is subject to applicable law and the Terms and Conditions. This policy does not establish automatic confiscation of funds or guarantee a refund.
False Information and Account Misuse
Users must not enter a false date of birth, register under another person’s name, use someone else’s identity documents, or use another person’s payment method to bypass checks. Using a parent’s, relative’s, or friend’s account is prohibited.
Account holders must not allow minors to access their account or share login details with anyone below the required age. Keep credentials secure and prevent unauthorized access on shared devices.
False age or identity information may lead to account suspension, cancelled transactions, restricted withdrawals, or permanent closure, subject to applicable law and the Terms and Conditions. If you made an honest entry error, contact support promptly; do not create a replacement account.
Parents and Guardians
- Do not share gambling logins, mobile wallets, bank details, or payment passwords with minors.
- Use device passwords and parental controls, and sign out after using shared devices.
- Keep identity documents and payment accounts secure.
- Monitor shared devices for unauthorized access or attempted registration.
If a minor has accessed an account or attempted to register, secure the account and report the concern through Contact Us. Do not submit the minor’s sensitive documents unless support requests them through an appropriate secure channel.
Bonuses, Promotions, and Age Restrictions
Bonuses are available only to eligible, verified adults who meet the relevant terms. Anyone below the legal age cannot claim a Mezzo Bet bonus code or participate in promotional offers. Promotions may require further age and identity checks. Bonus abuse or false age information may result in cancellation of benefits, subject to the applicable terms.
Relation to Other Policies
The Terms and Conditions explain account and transaction rules. The Privacy Policy explains the handling of personal information supplied during verification.
