MegaPari Bet does not permit underage gambling. Access is limited to people who have reached the legal gambling age applicable in Ethiopia and meet any age requirements in the relevant licence conditions. This policy explains the age limit, identity checks, account monitoring and steps that may follow if a minor is found to have accessed a betting service. Age verification is a protective measure: users must provide accurate information, and parents or guardians can contact MegaPari Bet to report suspected underage access.
Minimum Age Requirement in Ethiopia
MegaPari Bet permits registration and betting only for people who are 21 years or older, unless applicable law or licence terms state otherwise (LEGAL_AGE). The exact age requirement must be confirmed by MegaPari Bet’s legal or compliance team before publication. If local law, licence conditions or regulator guidance require stricter controls, MegaPari Bet applies the stricter standard.
Anyone creating or using an account must provide truthful personal details. An account must not be opened in another person’s name, and a user must not submit a parent’s, friend’s, relative’s or other third party’s documents as their own. These requirements apply across MegaPari Bet services, including sport betting, live betting, keno, games, promotions and account access.
- Do not register or place bets if you are below the applicable legal age.
- Do not let another person use your identity to create or verify an account.
- If you are unsure whether you meet the age requirement, do not use betting services until you have checked the applicable rules.
How MegaPari Bet Verifies Age and Identity
Age and identity checks help MegaPari Bet assess whether an account belongs to an eligible individual. Depending on the circumstances, the site may request a government-issued ID, passport or national identification document, confirmation of date of birth, phone number verification, confirmation that a payment method belongs to the account holder, or proof of address if required for compliance checks.
Information should be accurate and consistent with the documents submitted. A verification request is not permission to provide someone else’s documents or to continue using an account on their behalf. Verification may be required before deposits, withdrawals, bonus use or continued account access. Follow the instructions provided through official MegaPari Bet channels, and do not send sensitive documents through an unsecured channel.
When KYC Checks May Be Required
Know Your Customer (KYC) checks may take place at registration or later in the account relationship. A check may be requested before a first withdrawal, after activity that requires review, when account and payment details do not match, when signs of third-party use appear, when a user may be below the permitted age, or following an internal risk review. The timing and documents needed can depend on the individual case.
If a check is requested, provide the requested information through the official process and wait for the review to finish. Refusing or failing to complete verification may lead to limited access, a temporary account block or account closure under the applicable rules. The full account requirements are set out in Terms and Conditions.
What Happens If an Underage Account Is Detected
If information or activity raises a concern about a user’s age, MegaPari Bet may restrict the account while it reviews the case. This protects the user and helps prevent further betting while eligibility is unresolved. A restriction can mean the user cannot place bets, add funds or withdraw funds until the review is complete.
- The account may be temporarily restricted or blocked.
- The user may be unable to bet, deposit or withdraw during the review.
- The compliance team may examine submitted documents and relevant account history.
- If the review confirms that the user is below the permitted age, the account will be closed.
- Any balance, unsettled bets or promotional funds will be reviewed according to applicable law, licence requirements and MegaPari Bet internal compliance procedures.
The outcome depends on the facts and applicable requirements; a particular refund or other financial result is not guaranteed. If an account is restricted, the account holder should respond to official requests rather than attempt to open another account or have someone else operate it.
Protection Against Third-Party and Family Account Use
A shared household device can make it easier for a child to reach an adult’s open account. The account holder remains responsible for protecting their login details and must not give a child or teenager access to an account. MegaPari Bet prohibits sharing login credentials, allowing a minor to use an adult’s account, saving a password on a shared device where others can access it, using another person’s documents, or registering in an adult’s name when a minor is the person who will play.
Adults can reduce the risk of accidental or unauthorized access by taking practical precautions:
- Do not save passwords in a browser on a shared phone or computer.
- Use a screen lock and sign out after using an account on a shared device.
- Keep SMS verification codes and one-time passwords (OTPs) private.
- Check account access and payment activity, and contact support if anything looks unfamiliar.

How Parents or Guardians Can Report Underage Access
Parents and guardians who suspect that a minor has registered, used an adult’s account or accessed betting services should contact MegaPari Bet through the official Contact Us page. A clear report can help the team identify the account and assess the concern.
- Share the username, phone number or email associated with the account, if known.
- Explain why you believe underage access may have occurred and when it happened, if known.
- Provide proof of guardianship or other relevant documents only if requested through official instructions.
- Do not send sensitive identity documents through an unsecured channel.
MegaPari Bet reviews these reports seriously and may temporarily restrict the account while the case is assessed. If you are a parent or guardian, keep the device and account details available for a support response, but do not try to access or operate the account using another person’s credentials.
Marketing and Bonus Restrictions for Young People
MegaPari Bet should not intentionally 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, status or a solution to financial problems, or encourage anyone to bypass age checks. Where verification is required, bonus access must not be provided before that verification is complete.
Promotional terms are described at MegaPari Bet bonus code. Promotions are never intended for underage users, and references to them do not change the age restrictions or verification requirements.
Responsible Gaming and Early Risk Prevention
Early access to gambling can increase the risk of harmful behaviour, so age limits and identity checks are meaningful safeguards, not just administrative steps. Young people should not be exposed to betting activity through an adult’s account or encouraged to treat gambling as a way to earn money. Any concern about a minor’s access should be taken seriously and reported promptly.
Adults who share devices with young people should secure accounts and payment access, while parents and guardians can raise concerns with support. Information about safer gambling tools and risk guidance is available under Responsible Gaming.
