It seems that others have done well with bamboo and betas.

If it has sharp edges, stops him from reaching the surface, prevents him from swimming freely no. Other wise yes. Betta like plants in their bowls. It won't do him much good other wise.
BTW- The reason plants draw the ire of so many people is the whole betta vase issue. Some vendors sell a vase with a betta and a plant. Then tell people the plant will clean the betta's waste, and the betta will eat the plant. In short it results in a dead betta.
See Faith's rant on betta in a vase. Once you're convinced it's a bad idea. Scroll down to "How you can make such a display betta safe" for tips on keeping a betta with a plant.

I've done it, with no harm to the Betta, but lucky bamboo is a type of dracaena, not true bamboo. It's a terrestrial plant if, the roots are fully submerged, the stalks will slowly suffocate over a period of months.

i have seen them in with bamboo just make sure there is lots of room for him to swim and as the roots of the bamboo grow, keep them trimmed so he will still have the space tp swim. good luck

There are mixed reviews on this. Some say yes and some say no. This link will take you to the debate and help you make a decision. Personally I don't see why not
