Nine different sports, each with pre-match options and live betting. Football and basketball offer the most markets.
Launched in 2021, the Habtam Bet sportsbook was built specifically for Ethiopian players. Football is the cornerstone, encompassing the Ethiopian Premier League, CAF tournaments, English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Bundesliga. Beyond simple win-loss-draw picks, you get goal totals, both-teams-scoring, exact scores, Asian lines, and first-goal bets on key matches.
Basketball takes the second slot with the most markets. NBA, EuroLeague, and African basketball all offer spreads, totals, and moneylines. Tennis includes ATP, WTA, and the Slams with match, set, and game-level bets. Volleyball, track and field, and esports complete the live-sport list. Virtual Football, Virtual Basketball, and Pro Pong operate nonstop for 24-hour action.
The main focus at Habtam Bet. Matches from the Ethiopian Premier League, CAF Champions League, AFCON qualifiers, and major European leagues all feature pre-match and live markets. Options span from 1X2 and double-chance to goal totals, both-teams-to-score, exact results, and first-to-score. Build accumulators (parlays) for increased payouts on multi-bet combos.
NBA, EuroLeague, and African club squads are all on the menu with point spreads, totals, and moneylines. Live action shifts quarter-to-quarter, letting you pick specific quarter winners and lines. NBA playoffs pull crowds of Ethiopian fans keen on pro basketball action.
Habtam Bet offers all four Grand Slams alongside ATP and WTA tour stops for tennis. You can pick match winners, set lines, and game totals. Volleyball spans the FIVB World League, European Champs, and regional circuits with match picks, set lines, and point counts. Live markets exist on both sports where applicable.
You can bet on CS2, League of Legends, Dota 2, and FIFA esports with tournament and map picks. Track and field betting targets big events like the World Athletics Championships. Virtual Football and Virtual Basketball run five-minute games nonstop. Pro Pong mimics quick-fire virtual table tennis, settling every two minutes - ideal for fast bets.
Active matches on football, basketball, tennis, and volleyball get live, updating odds.
Odds refresh continuously during matches on Habtam Bet. On a live football game, pick the next goalscorer, half-time winner, remaining corner count, or next team on the scoreboard. A live scoreboard and graphic match map appear on certain games to help inform your choices.
For basketball, wager on quarter wins, team point totals, and next-bucket plays. Tennis lets you bet on individual games and sets in progress. Telebirr, CBE Birr, and M-Pesa handle all live stakes right away with the usual 100 ETB floor. You can cash out early on certain picks if the pace changes your mind.
Odds shift every few seconds when matches are underway across all sports.
Select football and basketball matches display a visual tracker inside the bet slip.
End a live stake early on specific markets before the match concludes. Works on football and basketball.

CBE Birr (Commercial Bank of Ethiopia's app) processes just as fast. M-Pesa and bank wires suit other preferences, though wires can take a business day. All methods start at 100 ETB, but some promos go as low as 20 ETB.

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.
