Step-by-step instructions to fund your 1win account with Ethiopian Birr via Telebirr. Takes under 2 minutes.
Min: 100 ETB · Speed: instant · Fees: none on 1win side · Welcome bonus: +200% on first deposit. Total welcome package: 85,000 ETB + 300 free spins.
If you don't have a 1win account yet, register through our verified link to ensure the welcome bonus is enabled. The form takes under a minute:
Once logged in, click the green "Deposit" button in the top-right of the screen. This opens the cashier.
In the list of payment methods, scroll to the "Local Methods (Ethiopia)" section. You'll see Telebirr alongside CBE Birr, M-Pesa, and Awash Bank.
Tap Telebirr. The minimum deposit is 100 ETB, the maximum is 200,000 ETB per transaction.
Type the amount you want to deposit (e.g., 500 ETB). Enter your Telebirr phone number — it will be auto-filled if you registered with the same number. Click "Pay".
1win generates a payment request and forwards it to Telebirr. You'll receive either:
Open Telebirr, review the payment details, and enter your 6-digit Telebirr PIN to confirm. The transaction completes within 5-10 seconds.
Within 30 seconds, your 1win balance updates. The welcome bonus is added automatically if it was your first deposit. You're ready to play.
Your first deposit triggers a 200% match. If you deposit 500 ETB, you get 1,000 ETB bonus on top — total 1,500 ETB to play with. Plus the first batch of 300 free spins is released.
Withdrawals work the same way. Open the cashier, choose Withdraw → Telebirr, enter the amount (min 200 ETB) and your phone number. Funds arrive in 1-4 hours, usually under 1 hour during business time.
Note: 1win requires KYC verification before your first withdrawal — submit a photo of your ID once and you're set for life.
Make sure you selected Ethiopia in your account profile and your currency is ETB. If it still doesn't appear, clear your browser cache or try the 1win mobile app.
Check that your phone number is correctly entered with the +251 prefix. If still no prompt within 60 seconds, cancel the transaction and try again — sometimes the Telebirr gateway needs a retry.
Telebirr's main wallet and savings sub-wallet are separate. Make sure the funds are in your main wallet before initiating a deposit.
Contact 1win live chat with your transaction ID (visible in your Telebirr SMS receipt). They will resolve it within 30 minutes.
