How to Deposit at Habtam Bet

The process takes under two minutes once your account is verified. Choose any Ethiopian Birr method and follow these four steps.

1

Log In to Your Account

Open habtam.bet in your browser or the Android app. Enter your registered phone number and password, then tap Sign In. New users need to complete registration first — it takes under three minutes.

2

Go to the Deposit Section

Click your account balance in the top navigation bar, then select "Deposit". You will see a list of available payment methods — Telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, HelloCash, Amole, and bank transfer.

3

Choose Your Method and Amount

Select your preferred payment method. Enter the deposit amount in ETB (minimum 100 ETB for standard deposits). Review the displayed processing time and tap "Continue" or "Proceed".

4

Confirm on Your Mobile App

For Telebirr, CBE Birr and M-Pesa, you will receive a push notification or USSD prompt on your phone. Enter your mobile money PIN to authorize the payment. The balance updates instantly.

5

Verify Your Balance

Return to your Habtam Bet account and check that the deposited amount is visible in your wallet. Telebirr and CBE Birr deposits reflect within seconds. Bank transfers may take up to three hours on business days.

6

Claim Your Bonus (First Deposit)

If this is your first deposit, the 100% match bonus up to 5,000 ETB is credited automatically after the deposit clears. Navigate to the Promotions tab to confirm the bonus is active before placing any bets.

💡
First deposit tip: Make your first deposit of at least 100 ETB to qualify for the 100% welcome bonus. Depositing 5,000 ETB or more on the first transaction maximizes the bonus at the full 5,000 ETB match, giving you 10,000 ETB total to play with. Check current wagering conditions on habtam.bet before depositing.
All Methods

Payment Methods at Habtam Bet

All methods below are denominated in Ethiopian Birr (ETB). No currency conversion or international transfer is required for Ethiopian players.

Habtam Bet has built its payment infrastructure specifically for the Ethiopian market. The platform prioritizes mobile money because it reaches the largest share of the population: Telebirr alone has over 40 million registered users in Ethiopia, making it the fastest route to funding your betting account. CBE Birr connects directly to accounts held at Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, the country's largest bank by deposits. For players who prefer Safaricom's network, M-Pesa and HelloCash provide equally fast processing without leaving the ETB ecosystem.

Bank transfers remain available for players who prefer to fund from a standard current or savings account. Processing times for direct bank deposits depend on the sending institution. Transfers from CBE, Dashen Bank, and Awash Bank typically clear within one to three business hours. Weekend and holiday transfers may settle on the next working day.

Welcome Offer

First Deposit Bonus: 100% up to 5,000 ETB

Every new Habtam Bet account qualifies for a 100% first-deposit match bonus on their initial funding transaction. Deposit 5,000 ETB and your account is credited with an additional 5,000 ETB in bonus funds, giving you 10,000 ETB total for your first session. The minimum qualifying deposit is 100 ETB, which generates a 100 ETB bonus at the 100% rate.

The bonus is credited automatically after the deposit clears. No code is required and no manual claim process is needed. Check the active terms on habtam.bet for current wagering requirements, eligible games, and bonus expiry window before completing your first deposit. Habtam Bet holds an NLA Ethiopia license, so all bonus conditions are published transparently per regulatory standards.

New players also receive 10 ETB upon completing registration, before any deposit is made. The first-deposit 100% match is separate from this registration credit and stacks on top of it for your opening balance.

ℹ️
Telebirr imposes a daily sending limit per account tier. Standard accounts can send up to 30,000 ETB per day. Upgraded accounts allow higher limits. If your deposit is declined for exceeding the limit, use CBE Birr or bank transfer for the remainder.
CBE Birr

Depositing via CBE Birr

CBE Birr links directly to your account at Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, Ethiopia's largest financial institution by total assets and branch network. Because the wallet draws from your bank balance rather than a separate prepaid account, there is no top-up step required. Players who already use CBE online banking often find this the simplest path to funding their Habtam Bet account.

1

Log In and Select CBE Birr

On the Habtam Bet deposit page, tap "CBE Birr". Enter the deposit amount (minimum 100 ETB) and tap "Continue".

2

Redirect to CBE Birr Confirmation

A payment request appears in the CBE Birr app on your phone. Open the notification or launch the app to view the pending transaction.

3

Authorize with Your PIN

Verify the recipient (Habtam Bet merchant account), confirm the amount, and enter your CBE Birr PIN. Tap "Confirm" to complete the transfer.

4

Funds Appear Instantly

Your Habtam Bet wallet shows the updated balance within seconds. The CBE Birr app sends an SMS confirmation of the successful payment.

5

USSD Alternative (*847#)

Without the smartphone app, dial *847# on your Ethio Telecom SIM registered with CBE. Follow the menu to send money to the Habtam Bet merchant number.

6

Check Balance and Start Playing

Navigate to the Habtam Bet casino or sportsbook. Your credited balance is immediately available for bets, slots, crash games, and live casino tables.

Bank Transfer

Bank Transfer Deposits at Habtam Bet

Direct bank transfer works through any Ethiopian licensed bank. After selecting "Bank Transfer" on the Habtam Bet deposit page, you receive a unique reference number and the platform's bank account details. Copy these before initiating the transfer, as the reference number is required for the deposit to be matched to your account automatically.

Transfers from CBE, Dashen Bank, Awash Bank, Bank of Abyssinia, and United Bank clear within one to three business hours during normal operating hours (Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 17:00 EAT). Transfers initiated after hours or on weekends are processed on the next business day. Once the transfer is verified, your Habtam Bet balance is updated and a confirmation email or SMS is sent to your registered contact.

Bank transfer is the best option for deposits above the mobile wallet daily limits. There is no stated upper limit from Habtam Bet's side for bank transfers, making it suitable for high-volume players who want to fund large betting sessions without being constrained by mobile wallet tier limits.

⚠️
Always include your reference number. Bank transfers without the Habtam Bet reference code may take 24–48 hours longer to credit while the finance team manually matches the transaction. Keep the reference until your deposit is confirmed.
