How to Deposit Telebirr to 1win Casino — 2026 Guide

Step-by-step instructions to fund your 1win account with Ethiopian Birr via Telebirr. Takes under 2 minutes.

⚡ Quick summary

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.

What you need before you start

  • An active Telebirr account with at least 100 ETB
  • Your Ethiopian phone number (linked to Telebirr)
  • A device with internet — phone, tablet or PC
  • Your Telebirr 6-digit PIN

Step 1 — Open a 1win account

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:

  • Click "Sign Up" in the top-right corner
  • Choose "Phone" registration method
  • Select country: Ethiopia (+251)
  • Enter your phone number, password, and currency: ETB
  • Confirm via SMS code

Step 2 — Open the deposit page

Once logged in, click the green "Deposit" button in the top-right of the screen. This opens the cashier.

Step 3 — Select Telebirr

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.

Step 4 — Enter amount and confirm

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:

  • A USSD push to your phone (most common)
  • A push notification in the Telebirr app

Step 5 — Confirm in Telebirr

Open Telebirr, review the payment details, and enter your 6-digit Telebirr PIN to confirm. The transaction completes within 5-10 seconds.

Step 6 — Funds arrive in 1win

Within 30 seconds, your 1win balance updates. The welcome bonus is added automatically if it was your first deposit. You're ready to play.

🎁 Bonus Reminder

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.

Telebirr deposit fees and limits

  • Fee on 1win side: 0 ETB
  • Fee on Telebirr side: 0 ETB for deposits up to 1,000 ETB; tiered fees above
  • Minimum deposit: 100 ETB
  • Maximum deposit: 200,000 ETB per transaction
  • Daily limit: 500,000 ETB (Telebirr's standard limit)

Withdrawing back to Telebirr

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.

Troubleshooting

"Telebirr is not available" message

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.

USSD prompt didn't arrive

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.

"Insufficient balance" but I have money

Telebirr's main wallet and savings sub-wallet are separate. Make sure the funds are in your main wallet before initiating a deposit.

Deposit pending for more than 5 minutes

Contact 1win live chat with your transaction ID (visible in your Telebirr SMS receipt). They will resolve it within 30 minutes.
