Abay Bet: no licence found in public registers
Searches for Abay Bet in Ethiopia grew +43% in six months. We checked the licence registers on 1 Nov 2026: none of them lists it.
We found no licence for Abay Bet in the public registers we checked. We could not confirm an official website or a company behind it either, so there is no way to know who runs it or whether it pays out.
What's good
- Nothing we could confirm yet
Watch out for
- No licence found in public registers
- No official website confirmed
- Company behind it is unknown
Licence
On 1 Nov 2026 we searched three public sources for Abay Bet: the Anjouan licence register (1298 licences), the Kahnawà:ke Gaming Commission's list of certified sites (222 sites) and the Malta Gaming Authority's list of sites that falsely claim its licence (254 sites). None of them lists Abay Bet.
We could not confirm an official website either. Search results lead mostly to app download pages and promotional profiles, and we found no site that an identifiable company takes responsibility for.
Sites named after the brand exist (abaybet.net), but they are information pages with no login and no company named, so we do not treat any of them as the operator’s site.
Evidence: Anjouan register, Kahnawà:ke list and MGA warning list searched 1 Nov 2026.

Who can use it
The Ethiopian Lottery Service suspended sports betting licences on 4 December 2025 and revoked all of them on 15 December 2025. It says no betting company is licensed and warns people not to bet or deposit money with illegal services. No licences exist for online casinos. State lotteries remain legal. A licence from another country would not change this.
