Since its 2021 launch, Habtam Bet has centered on the Ethiopian betting audience. Football is the core product, spanning the Ethiopian Premier League, CAF events, the English Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, and Bundesliga. Beyond basic 1X2 picks, markets include total goals, both teams scoring, correct score, Asian handicaps, and first goalscorer on key matches.
Basketball ranks second for market variety, with the NBA, EuroLeague, and African clubs offering spreads, totals, and moneylines. Tennis spans ATP, WTA, and Grand Slams with match, set, and game bets. Volleyball, athletics, and esports complete the traditional sports range. Virtual football, virtual basketball, and Pro Pong operate around the clock for nonstop betting options.
The platform's flagship sport. Ethiopian Premier League, CAF Champions League, AFCON qualifiers, and major European leagues all offer pre-match and live options. Choose from 1X2, double chance, over/under goals, both teams scoring, correct score, and first goalscorer. Multi-leg accumulators (parlays) let you boost potential payouts.

The NBA, EuroLeague, and African basketball clubs all offer spreads, totals, and moneylines. Live betting refreshes between quarters, with quarter-by-quarter totals and handicaps for major matchups. Ethiopian bettors especially favor NBA playoff coverage, which attracts high volumes.

Grand Slams plus ATP and WTA tours make up Habtam Bet's tennis offering. Core bets are match winner, set handicap, and total games. Volleyball spans the FIVB World League, European Championships, and local circuits with 1X2, set handicap, and total points. Live betting available on all eligible events.

CS2, League of Legends, Dota 2, and FIFA esports tournaments are available with match and map bets. Athletics features major championships plus the World Athletics Championships.

Five contact channels for the Habtam Bet team. Live chat never closes.
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.
