Habtam Bet processes withdrawals in ETB through four local channels: Telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, and direct bank transfer. The minimum withdrawal is 100 ETB. Once KYC verification is complete, most Telebirr and CBE Birr requests clear within 15 to 60 minutes.
All four withdrawal channels at Habtam Bet work exclusively in Ethiopian Birr. No currency conversion takes place on the platform side. The method you use to withdraw must match your registered account details.
Ethio Telecom mobile wallet. Fastest option for most players.
Commercial Bank of Ethiopia digital wallet. Widely held across Ethiopia.
Safaricom mobile money. Reliable cross-network ETB transfers.
Direct transfer to local Ethiopian bank account in ETB.

| CBE Birr | 30–90 minutes | 100 ETB | Free | 24/7 | Available |

Ethio Telecom mobile wallet — fastest Habtam Bet payout channel
Telebirr is the preferred withdrawal method for most Habtam Bet players in Ethiopia. Funds land directly in your Ethio Telecom wallet and can be transferred to a bank or spent immediately without any additional steps on the platform side. The 15-to-60-minute window applies during normal operating hours; requests submitted between midnight and 6 AM may take slightly longer as finance team approvals queue overnight.
Your Telebirr number must match the phone number registered to your Habtam Bet account. Mismatched details trigger a manual review that can delay the payout by several hours. Double-check the number before confirming.
Commercial Bank of Ethiopia digital wallet
CBE Birr connects directly to your Commercial Bank of Ethiopia account, making it a natural fit for players who primarily bank with CBE. Habtam Bet sends funds to the linked CBE Birr wallet number, and the balance is accessible from the CBE mobile app or at any CBE ATM in Ethiopia. Processing averages 30 to 90 minutes under normal conditions.
CBE Birr withdrawals follow the same identity-matching rule as Telebirr. The registered phone number on the wallet must correspond to the account details on file at Habtam Bet. If you recently changed your phone number, update it in the account settings first and contact support before requesting a cashout.
Safaricom mobile money service in Ethiopia
M-Pesa withdrawals at Habtam Bet operate through the Safaricom network with settlements in Ethiopian Birr. The processing window of 30 to 120 minutes accounts for occasional network latency during high-traffic periods. All M-Pesa cashouts at Habtam Bet are denominated and delivered in ETB with no mid-process currency conversion.
M-Pesa is particularly reliable for players who use Safaricom as their primary mobile network. The service is available continuously, though approval from the Habtam Bet finance team is required before funds are dispatched, which accounts for most of the processing time rather than the transfer itself.
Direct ETB transfer to local Ethiopian bank accounts
Bank transfer is the slowest cashout option at Habtam Bet but suits players who want funds to arrive directly in a savings or current account at any Ethiopian bank. The Habtam Bet finance team initiates transfers on business days. Requests submitted on Friday afternoon or over the weekend join the queue for Monday morning processing, which means the effective wait can reach three full calendar days in practice.
To use bank transfer, your full name on the Habtam Bet account must match your bank account name precisely. The SWIFT/BIC code is not required for domestic Ethiopian transfers, but you must provide your correct 13-digit account number. Incorrect account numbers result in a bounce-back that can take additional days to resolve, so verify the details carefully before submitting.
Six steps from logged-in account to funds in your wallet. Complete KYC before the first withdrawal to avoid delays.
Open habtam.bet and sign in with your registered phone number and password. Use the Habtam Bet Android or iOS app if you prefer mobile.
Tap your account balance in the top-right corner or open the main menu and select "Cashier." The withdrawal section is labeled "Withdraw" or "Cash Out."
Choose from Telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, or Bank Transfer. Only methods that match your deposit history will appear as primary options.
Type the amount you wish to withdraw. The minimum is 100 ETB. Confirm the destination number or account is correct before continuing.
Review all details on the confirmation screen. Submit the request. You will receive an SMS or in-app notification that the request is under review.
Telebirr and CBE Birr payouts typically arrive within 15 to 90 minutes. Bank transfers clear within 1 to 3 business days.
All limits are in Ethiopian Birr. Habtam Bet applies no platform-side transaction fees on any withdrawal channel. Your mobile network provider or bank may charge separately.

KYC is a one-time process. Once your National ID and address document are approved at Habtam Bet, all future withdrawals process without additional document requests.
Withdrawals must be directed back to the deposit source when available. This is a standard AML compliance measure applied by Habtam Bet under its NLA Ethiopia operating license.
Habtam Bet operates under a National Lottery Administration license in Ethiopia, which requires identity verification before any player can make their first withdrawal. The KYC process is a one-time requirement. After your documents are reviewed and approved, no further submissions are needed for subsequent cashouts.
Verification at Habtam Bet is straightforward. You need two documents: a government-issued photo ID and proof of your current address. The address document must be dated within the last 90 days. A recent utility bill or bank statement showing your name and address covers this requirement.
Submit documents via the account settings section under "Verification," or send them directly to the support team via live chat. Habtam Bet aims to review documents within 2 to 6 hours during business days. Submitting before you make your first deposit avoids any wait at the withdrawal stage.
| Document Type | Purpose | Status |
|---|---|---|
| National ID (Fayda) | Identity | Required |
| Passport | Identity (alternative) | Accepted |
| Utility Bill | Address proof | Required |
| Bank Statement | Address proof (alternative) | Accepted |
Log in and go to Account Settings, then select "Verify Account." The status panel shows which documents are pending or approved.
Upload the front and back of your Ethiopian National ID or a photo page of your passport. File size must not exceed 5MB per image.
Provide a utility bill or bank statement dated within 90 days. Your full name and current address must be clearly visible on the document.
Confirm your submission. The Habtam Bet compliance team reviews documents during business hours. You receive an SMS confirmation when approved.
Once approved, your account status updates to "Verified." This unlocks the full withdrawal function across all four payment methods.
All future withdrawals at Habtam Bet process without additional document requests. The verified status does not expire.
Most withdrawal problems at Habtam Bet fall into one of four categories. Here is how to resolve each one quickly.
If your Telebirr or CBE Birr request has been pending for more than 2 hours, contact the 24/7 live chat with your transaction reference number. Finance team can locate and expedite the request manually.
Rejections at Habtam Bet usually signal an unmet wagering requirement, an unverified account, or a phone number mismatch. Check your bonus status and KYC state before resubmitting.
If you entered an incorrect wallet number or bank account, contact support immediately before the transfer is dispatched. Once funds are sent, redirection requires an additional processing cycle.
Declined KYC most often results from a blurred photo or an address document older than 90 days. Re-photograph your National ID in good lighting and resubmit a current utility bill.
