Legality of the Betting Site

Telebet states clearly on its site that it is licensed by the Ethiopian National Lottery Administration (NLA), using the license number ስ/ው/ብሎ/29/2016. The NLA is the recognized regulatory authority for lotteries and related gambling activities in Ethiopia.

Having a recognized licence from NLA suggests that Telebet is operating within the legal gambling framework in Ethiopia, which adds a level of legitimacy and regulatory oversight.

On security: independent site-safety review notes that telebet.et uses a valid SSL certificate, which means communications between your device and the site are encrypted hence reducing risk of data interception. Also, the platform appears to use standard web-security infrastructure (Cloudflare CDN, secure DNS).

Furthermore, in the site’s own Terms & Conditions, Telebet requires that players are of legal gambling age (21+, or as per local laws) and that their registered name matches their mobile number. These are common safeguards in licensed gambling operations.
