Self-Exclusion Guide for Waliya Bet Users in Ethiopia

What Is Self-Exclusion?

Waliya Bet self-exclusion means asking the operator to block or restrict your account so you cannot continue betting during the agreed period. It is a serious account protection measure, not simply a preference setting.

Self-exclusion is different from:

• Logging out or deleting the app, which does not itself restrict your account.
• Taking a break without applying an account restriction.
• Setting deposit or time limits, which may still allow betting within those limits.

Self-exclusion is stronger because it is intended to prevent normal account access for betting activity.

When Should You Consider Self-Exclusion?

You do not need to wait for a crisis to ask for help. If betting feels hard to control, consider whether any of these signs apply:

• Using money needed for bills, rent, transport or food.
• Chasing losses by betting again to recover money.
• Hiding betting activity from family or friends.
• Feeling stress, guilt or anger after betting.
• Trying to stop but returning repeatedly.
• Using borrowed money to place bets.
• Betting during work, study or family time.
• Feeling that betting is no longer entertainment.

Recognising these signs is a reason to seek support, not a reason to blame yourself.

Temporary vs Permanent Self-Exclusion

Temporary self-exclusion

This restricts betting access for a fixed period. Depending on available tools, it may provide a short cooling-off break or a longer responsible gaming pause. Do not assume that access will automatically return when the period ends; ask support about the process.

Permanent self-exclusion

This asks Waliya Bet to close or block betting access indefinitely or permanently, depending on operator policy and local compliance requirements. It may not be reversible, or any future access may require strict review.

The exact processing time and available exclusion periods should be confirmed by Waliya Bet support.

How to Request Self-Exclusion

To request a Waliya Bet account restriction, follow these steps where the relevant tools are available:

1. Log in to your account if you still have access.
2. Open account settings, the responsible gaming area or the support section.
3. Choose “Self-Exclusion” or “Account Restriction”. If neither option is visible, contact support.
4. Select temporary or permanent exclusion, or clearly state your preference to support.
5. Read the restriction details and confirm your request.
6. Wait for confirmation from Waliya Bet. Ask when the restriction takes effect and keep the confirmation.
7. Do not create another account to bypass the restriction.

If you cannot access your account, use the official channels listed on Contact Us. State clearly that you want self-exclusion. While the request is being processed, stop using betting services rather than testing whether access remains available.

What Information May Be Needed?

Support may ask for:

• Your full name.
• Your registered phone number or email address.
• Your account ID, if available.
• Your date of birth or identity confirmation.
• Your requested exclusion period or permanent restriction.
• Confirmation that you understand the restriction.

Support may request identity confirmation to protect the account. Use official support channels and do not share passwords or one-time security codes.

What Happens After Self-Exclusion Is Applied?

Once the restriction is confirmed as active, the following protections should apply, subject to the operator’s confirmed procedures:

• You should not be able to place bets.
• Deposits should be blocked.
• Promotional offers and bonus messages should stop where technically and legally possible, although changes may not be immediate.
• Active bonuses may be cancelled according to the Terms and Conditions.
• Remaining eligible balance should be handled under account, verification and payment rules.
• Support may remain available for account closure, balance questions and document issues.

Withdrawals depend on verification, payment method rules and applicable terms. Self-exclusion does not guarantee instant withdrawals or access to every amount shown in an account. Ask support how existing bets and any eligible balance will be handled.

See the Privacy Policy for information about personal data handling.

Can Self-Exclusion Be Cancelled Early?

Self-exclusion is designed to protect you, so early cancellation may not be available. If Waliya Bet policy permits it, a request should require support review, identity confirmation and possibly a cooling-off period.

Do not assume temporary exclusion can end early or that a permanently restricted account can reopen. Ask support to explain the applicable rules before confirming your request.

Account Access, Login and App Restrictions

Self-exclusion should restrict betting features across website login, the mobile app, sports betting pages, live betting, games and keno sections.

Normal login may be blocked, or limited access may remain for non-betting tasks such as balance enquiries. Confirm the scope with support. Deleting the app alone does not apply self-exclusion, and a restriction on Waliya Bet should not be assumed to cover other operators.

Other Responsible Gaming Tools

Other gambling control tools and betting account limits may include:

• Deposit limits and loss limits.
• Session reminders and reality checks.
• Time-outs.
• Marketing opt-out.
• Full account closure.

Availability varies. These tools do not necessarily provide the same protection as self-exclusion. If you want to close your betting account for safety reasons, say so explicitly to support.

Read Responsible Gaming for related information about responsible gaming in Ethiopia, and the Age Restriction Policy for age requirements.

Legal and Regional Notes for Ethiopia

Availability of betting services, account tools and restrictions may depend on Ethiopian law, licensing status, regional access rules, operator policy and payment-channel limitations. This guide is not legal advice and does not confirm that Waliya Bet is licensed, regulated or approved.

Consult Legal Status in Ethiopia, License & Regulation, State / Regional Restrictions and the Disclaimer for relevant information.

Support When Betting Feels Hard to Control

If you feel unable to control gambling behaviour, stop using betting services and speak to someone you trust, a qualified support organisation or a healthcare professional. Friends and relatives can offer support without blame; account-specific action may require the account holder’s involvement and verification.

If you believe you may harm yourself or someone else, seek urgent local emergency help immediately.
