Habtam Bet welcomes Ethiopian Birr deposits starting as low as 100 ETB, handled instantly through Telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, and HelloCash. Your opening deposit delivers a 100% bonus match up to 5,000 ETB. Here you'll find every channel, every limit, and every step required.
You'll finish in under two minutes after verification. Pick any Ethiopian Birr option and run through these four actions.
Navigate to habtam.bet through your browser or install the Android app. Input your phone number and password, then click Sign In. New customers must set up first - registration takes only a couple minutes.
Hit your wallet balance at the top of the page and choose "Deposit". A menu shows all your funding paths - Telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, HelloCash, Amole, and bank transfer.
Pick your payment choice. Key in your deposit figure in ETB - base minimum is 100 ETB for regular deposits. Look at the shown settlement window and press "Continue" or "Proceed".
When using Telebirr, CBE Birr or M-Pesa, your phone receives a notification or USSD menu. Type your mobile wallet PIN to complete it. Your balance updates instantly.
Go back to Habtam Bet and confirm the cash has landed. Telebirr and CBE Birr appear in seconds. Bank transfers can take up to three hours on working days.
For opening payments, the 100% matched bonus up to 5,000 ETB gets added automatically when cleared. Head to the Promotions section and verify your bonus is live before wagering.
Every channel is priced in Ethiopian Birr (ETB). ETH-based gamblers need not deal with currency swaps or international wire payments.
The platform built its payment framework with Ethiopia's customers in mind. Mobile payment systems come first because they connect with most people - Telebirr alone counts 40 million active Ethiopians, making it your fastest funding route. CBE Birr hooks into Commercial Bank of Ethiopia balances directly, the nation's leading bank by total assets. Safaricom subscribers can go with M-Pesa or HelloCash for equal speed while staying within the ETB zone.
Standard bank transfers work for those wanting to use their regular savings account. The time your money takes depends on the sending bank. Money from CBE, Dashen or Awash reaches you in 1 to 3 working days normally. Payments sent on Saturdays, Sundays or holidays land on the next business day.

18+ only. Gambling involves risk. NLA licensed.
Telebirr (Ethio Telecom's payment wallet) is the speediest and most reachable deposit method at Habtam Bet. Available on app or USSD for every phone.
Log in at habtam.bet or use the Android app. Tap your wallet balance and hit "Deposit". Find "Telebirr" in the choices.
Type the amount in ETB (at least 100 ETB). Verify it looks right and press "Proceed to Telebirr".
Your Telebirr gets a payment alert. Open it, check the number and recipient, then enter your 4-digit PIN to go ahead.
Both apps show confirmation. Your betting balance jumps up within 5–10 seconds.
No smartphone? Telebirr works via USSD. Dial *127# on any Ethio Telecom number. Choose "Send Money", put in the Habtam Bet code (shown on the funding page), key in your sum, and hit your PIN. The cash arrives within 30 seconds.
CBE Birr ties into your Commercial Bank of Ethiopia account, Ethiopia's most-owned bank by total cash and sites. Since it draws from your real bank account rather than a saved wallet, you skip the top-up step. Customers who bank with CBE often think this is the easiest way to finance Habtam Bet.
On Habtam Bet's funding screen, press "CBE Birr". Put in your amount (100 ETB least) and press "Continue".
A payment flow shows up in the CBE Birr app. Look at the notification or open the app to view the waiting payment.
Verify the receiver (Habtam Bet account), check the total, and type your CBE Birr code. Click "Confirm" to send.
Your Habtam Bet balance shifts within a few seconds. The CBE Birr app texts you when the payment goes through.
No app? Use *847# on your Ethio Telecom SIM hooked to CBE. Walk the menu to move cash to the Habtam Bet code.
Go to Habtam Bet's games or sports. Your funds are ready to bet, spin, wager or play live tables.
Any Ethiopian bank works. After you choose "Bank Transfer" on Habtam Bet, you get a unique code and the platform's account info. Jot these down before you wire, since the code links the money to your account by hand if needed.
Wires from CBE, Dashen, Awash, Bank of Abyssinia, and United Bank clear in 1 to 3 business days during hours (Mon-Fri, 08:00-17:00 EAT). Transfers sent after hours or weekends land on the next working day. Once verified, your wallet gets the cash and you get an email or text.
Big deposits exceed mobile wallet daily caps, so bank transfer is your best bet. There's no ceiling from Habtam Bet on wire amounts, fitting heavy bettors who want to run big sessions without hitting wallet restrictions.
