How long does identity verification take before a withdrawal is approved?
Identity verification typically takes between 1 and 24 hours after all required documents are submitted. Once approved, your verification status is permanent and future withdrawals are not delayed by this step.
Can I use a different payment method for withdrawals than the one I used to deposit?
For the amount equal to your original deposit, you must withdraw to the same payment method. For any amount exceeding your deposited total, an alternative withdrawal method can be used.

The maximum withdrawal per single transaction is 30,000 ETB. Daily aggregate withdrawal limits apply and are displayed in the cashier section when you initiate a payout request.
Are winnings from the welcome bonus withdrawable immediately after meeting the wagering requirement?
