Kana Bet Status in Ethiopia (2026): Official Shutdown Update
Status checked: 21 October 2026
The official Kana Bet homepage currently says the service is closed. It states that the Ethiopian National Lottery Administration has closed Kana Bet service and all betting operations. So whether you are looking for the Kana Bet app, Kanabet login or the website, the answer is the same: treat Kana Bet as closed unless an official source says otherwise. The kanabet.et domain no longer resolves (checked 21 October 2026).
This page is now a current-status guide, not a deposit or sign-up page. It explains what the shutdown means, how to avoid fake login pages or APK files, and where to check broader Ethiopia betting-site status.

Check the legal status before you deposit, and gamble responsibly.
What Happened to Kana Bet?
Kana Bet's official site now shows a closure notice. Public reporting also says Ethiopia revoked sports betting licenses nationwide effective December 15, 2025. That wider market change is why older bookmaker lists, old social links, and cached app pages can be misleading.
For the broader market picture, see our Ethiopia betting sites status 2026 guide and the Addis Standard report on the December 2025 license revocation.
Can You Still Log In to Kana Bet?
Do not assume login is safe just because a page appears in search results. If a site claims to be a Kana Bet login page, verify that it is the official domain and that the service is actually active before entering a phone number, password, OTP code, or payment detail.
If the official homepage says the service is closed, do not use copied login pages as a workaround. Closed brands are often copied by unsafe pages that try to capture account details.
Kana Bet App and APK Safety
Search demand for Kana Bet app download is still strong, but the risk is higher when the operator itself shows a closed-service message. Do not download a Kana Bet APK from third-party pages, Telegram links, file-sharing sites, or pages that cannot prove a direct connection to the operator.
- Do not install a Kana Bet APK while the official service is closed.
- Do not enter OTP codes or payment details into copied app screens.
- Do not trust a "new login" page just because it uses the Kana Bet logo.
- Use our betting app APK safety guide before installing any betting app file.
What Should Former Kana Bet Users Do?
If you previously used Kana Bet, start with the official homepage and any verified support channel listed there. Do not use unofficial social accounts or copied support numbers. If payment, withdrawal, or account access is unclear, avoid sharing more personal information until the source is verified.

FAQ
Is Kana Bet still operating in Ethiopia?
The official Kana Bet homepage currently shows a service closed message. Treat Kana Bet as closed unless an official source later publishes a clear update.
Can I still register a new Kana Bet account?
You should not expect normal registration on a closed betting service. Be careful with pages that ask for new-account details under the Kana Bet name.
Is the Kana Bet app safe to download?
Not from third-party sources. When the official service is closed, APK files using the brand name should be treated as high-risk unless the operator itself clearly verifies them.
What should I do if I find a Kana Bet login page?
Check the exact domain and official status before entering any credentials. If the official homepage says closed, do not use a copied login page as a workaround.
Where can I check current Ethiopia betting-site status?
Start with the Ethiopia betting sites status 2026 page and the all-sites status list.
