Habtam Bet's sportsbook launched in 2021 with a clear focus on Ethiopian bettors. Football anchors the offering, covering the Ethiopian Premier League, CAF competitions, the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Bundesliga. Markets go beyond the standard 1X2 format: you can bet on total goals, both teams to score, correct score, Asian handicaps, and first goalscorer on major fixtures.
Basketball receives the second-largest market count. The NBA, EuroLeague, and African league fixtures all carry spread, total, and moneyline options. Tennis covers ATP, WTA, and Grand Slam tournaments at match, set, and game level. Volleyball, athletics, and esports round out the real-sport categories, while virtual football, virtual basketball, and Pro Pong run continuously for 24-hour betting access.
Habtam Bet's primary sport. The Ethiopian Premier League, CAF Champions League, AFCON qualifying, and all top European leagues carry pre-match and live markets. Bet types include 1X2, double chance, over/under goals, both teams to score, correct score, and first goalscorer. Accumulator (parlay) tickets are available with boosted potential returns on multi-leg selections.
NBA, EuroLeague, and African club basketball all feature with spread, total, and moneyline lines. Live basketball betting at Habtam Bet updates quarter by quarter, with individual quarter totals and handicaps available on major games. The NBA playoff schedule in particular draws heavy traffic from Ethiopian bettors who follow American basketball closely.
Tennis at Habtam Bet covers all four Grand Slams plus the main ATP and WTA tour events. Match winner, set handicap, and total games are the core markets. Volleyball includes the FIVB World League, European Championships, and select domestic leagues with 1X2, set handicap, and total points options. Both sports carry live betting on qualifying fixtures.
Esports at Habtam Bet covers CS2, League of Legends, Dota 2, and FIFA esports tournaments with match winner and map markets. Athletics betting focuses on major championships including the World Athletics Championships. Virtual Football and Virtual Basketball simulate five-minute fixtures continuously. Pro Pong, a fast-format virtual table tennis game, resolves every two minutes and is popular for quick-session betting.
Real-time odds across football, basketball, tennis, and volleyball during active fixtures.
The live betting section at Habtam Bet refreshes odds in real time. During a football match, you can bet on the next goal, the result at half time, the total corners in the remainder of the game, or which team scores next. The interface shows a live score update alongside a visual match tracker on select fixtures, giving you context before placing an in-play wager.
Basketball live markets include quarter-by-quarter winner, team total points, and next scoring play. Tennis in-play covers each game and set as they progress. All live bets are processed via Telebirr, CBE Birr, or M-Pesa instantly, with the same 100 ETB minimum deposit threshold as pre-match betting. Cash-out functionality is available on selected markets, letting you settle a bet early if the momentum shifts.
Odds update every few seconds during active fixtures across all covered sports.
Visual match tracker on select football and basketball games directly in the betting interface.
Settle a live bet before final result on qualifying markets. Available on football and basketball.
Winnings from live bets credited to your ETB wallet within minutes of final result confirmation.

Every day, Habtam Bet distributes a 25,000 ETB prize pool among the top 50 players by net winnings. The leaderboard resets at midnight. You need no registration or opt-in beyond placing qualifying bets. Winnings are credited automatically to the accounts of the daily top 50 ranked players. On high-traffic match days, such as CAF fixtures or international football weekends, competition for the pool intensifies significantly.

Telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, and bank transfer. All transactions in Ethiopian Birr from 100 ETB.
Habtam Bet built its payment infrastructure around the Ethiopian mobile money ecosystem. Telebirr is the fastest option for both deposits and withdrawals, with funds arriving in the sportsbook wallet within seconds of approval. CBE Birr, the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia's mobile wallet, follows the same near-instant processing. M-Pesa and traditional bank transfer are available for players who prefer those channels, with bank transfers typically settling within one business day. The minimum deposit across all methods is 100 ETB, while some promotional deposits qualify from just 20 ETB.
| Method | Type | Min Deposit | Processing | Currency |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telebirr | Mobile Money | 100 ETB | Instant | ETB |
| CBE Birr | Mobile Money | 100 ETB | Instant | ETB |
| M-Pesa | Mobile Money | 100 ETB | Instant | ETB |
| Bank Transfer | Bank | 100 ETB | 1 business day | ETB |
Five ways to reach the Habtam Bet team. Live chat is open every day, around the clock.
Verified player reviews from Habtam Bet users. Mixed ratings included for transparency.
Telebirr deposits go through in seconds. I bet on Ethiopian Premier League games regularly and the odds on local matches are much better than what I found on other sites. Live betting on football is smooth even on a slow connection.
The 100% welcome bonus up to 5,000 ETB was real, I confirmed it after my first 500 ETB deposit. Basketball markets are solid for NBA. Withdrawal to CBE Birr took about 20 minutes on a busy Friday. Would like more ATP tennis coverage.
Virtual Football at Habtam Bet is my go-to when there are no live matches. Results every five minutes means I can fit in a few bets during a lunch break. Pro Pong is interesting once you understand the format, fast and fun.
Registration was fast and the 10 ETB credit appeared right away. My main issue is that the KYC verification took two days. Support via live chat was helpful in explaining what documents I needed. Once verified, withdrawals via M-Pesa work fine.
The Android APK installed in two minutes and the data-lite version saves mobile data. I use Habtam Bet mainly for accumulator bets on CAF competitions. The daily 25,000 ETB pool for top players is a real incentive to stay active on match days.
The referral bonus of 10 ETB per friend is simple and actually pays out. Three friends joined through my link and all three credits arrived within 24 hours. NLA licensing gives me confidence the platform is operating legally inside Ethiopia.
