Nine different sports offering pre-match and live betting options. Football and basketball have the most extensive market selection.
The sportsbook opened in 2021 targeting Ethiopian players. Football is the core product, with coverage of the Ethiopian Premier League, CAF competitions, English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Bundesliga. Beyond simple 1X2 bets, you can wager on goal totals, both-sides-to-score, final scores, Asian handicaps, and first scorers.
Basketball ranks second in market breadth, with NBA, EuroLeague, and African league games offering spreads, totals, and moneylines. ATP, WTA, and Grand Slam tournaments provide tennis betting at match, set, and game levels. Real sports also include volleyball, athletics, and esports. Virtual football, virtual basketball, and Pro Pong operate non-stop for round-the-clock wagering.
The platform's flagship sport. Coverage spans the Ethiopian Premier League, CAF Champions League, AFCON qualifying rounds, and major European competitions with both pre-match and live options. Available bets: 1X2, double chance, goal totals, both-sides-to-score, exact scores, and opening scorers. Parlays (accumulators) offer enhanced odds on multi-selection tickets.

The NBA, EuroLeague, and African leagues are included with spreads, totals, and moneylines. Live odds shift quarter-by-quarter, with quarter-specific totals and handicaps on prominent matchups. Ethiopian fans particularly engage with NBA playoff schedules.

Tennis coverage includes all four Grand Slams alongside major ATP and WTA events, with markets for match winners, set handicaps, and game totals. Volleyball encompasses the FIVB World League, European Championships, and some domestic competitions, offering 1X2, set handicaps, and point totals. Both support live betting.

Esports betting includes CS2, League of Legends, Dota 2, and FIFA competitions with match and map wagers. Athletics covers major events like the World Athletics Championships. Virtual Football and Virtual Basketball produce new results every five minutes. Pro Pong is a quick virtual table tennis format that concludes every two minutes.

Football, basketball, tennis, and volleyball all offer real-time odds while matches are underway.
Odds refresh constantly throughout matches. In football, bet on the next goal, halftime result, remaining corners, or which side scores next. Select games display live scores and a visual match tracker to help you decide on your in-play bets.
Basketball offers quarter winners, team point totals, and next basket bets. Tennis in-play covers individual games and sets. Telebirr, CBE Birr, or M-Pesa handle all live wagers instantly, using the same 100 ETB floor. Early settlement (cash-out) is available on certain markets if you want to lock in profit or cut losses.
All sports see odds adjust every few seconds while matches are happening.
A visual tracker shows match progress for select football and basketball games within the betting app.

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.
