These Terms and Conditions explain the rules for using Habtam Bet in Ethiopia. They cover account access, betting, games, promotions, payments, verification, security and responsible gaming. Users should read them before registering, depositing funds or placing a bet.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing the website, registering, logging in or using any Habtam service, you agree to follow these Terms and Conditions and any product-specific rules displayed on the platform. If you do not agree, you must stop using the service.
Updated terms may apply from the date they are published. Continued use after an update means that you accept the revised rules, subject to applicable law.
2. Eligibility and Age Restrictions
The service is intended only for people who meet the legal minimum age for betting and gaming in their jurisdiction. Users must also satisfy applicable eligibility and location requirements.
Review the Age Restriction Policy and State / Regional Restrictions. Users must not access the service from a prohibited location or attempt to bypass location controls.
3. Account Registration and User Information
To complete Habtam Bet registration, users must provide accurate, current and complete account-holder information. This may include a name, phone number, email address, date of birth, address, payment details and identity evidence where required.
- One person may hold only one account unless Habtam explicitly permits otherwise.
- An account must not be created for, transferred to or operated on behalf of another person.
- Registration information must be updated when it changes.
- The account holder is responsible for activity completed through the account.
Returning users should access the official Habtam Bet login page rather than links received from unknown sources. Personal information is handled as described in the Privacy Policy.
4. Account Security and Login Responsibility
Users must protect their password, device, SIM card, email account, payment wallet and recovery credentials. Passwords must not be shared publicly, with another user or with anyone claiming to provide unofficial assistance. Habtam should not ask a user to disclose a password through a public channel.
Unauthorized access, lost credentials, an unexpected verification message or suspected fraud should be reported promptly through Contact Us. Changing a password and securing the connected email, phone and payment account are recommended first steps.
5. Website, App and Service Availability
Services may be provided through the website, mobile version, Habtam Bet app or another authorized service channel. Users should verify the official domain and download source before entering login or payment information.
Access may be interrupted by maintenance, provider downtime, payment failures, delayed odds feeds, network problems, security checks or events outside reasonable control. Current availability can be checked through Habtam Bet open now. Unless stated otherwise, support hours, promotion deadlines and operational notices are interpreted in Ethiopian Time (EAT).
6. Betting Rules
A bet is accepted only after the system confirms it. Displaying selections on a bet slip does not mean they have been accepted. Odds may change before confirmation, so users must check the selection, market, stake, odds and potential return before submitting a bet.
- Rejected, cancelled or voided bets may be returned or settled under the applicable market rules.
- Incorrect odds, technical errors, duplicate bets, system abuse or suspicious activity may trigger a settlement review.
- Results may be settled using information from official data providers, event organizers and the published betting rules.
- A corrected result or abandoned event may be handled under product-specific settlement rules.
These principles apply to Habtam Bet sport betting, including pre-match markets, Habtam Bet live events and Habtam Bet football. No outcome or profit is guaranteed.
7. Live Betting, Keno and Games
Live markets, Habtam Bet keno and Habtam Bet games may have separate rules for timing, round closure, cancellation, settlement and payouts. Users should read the rules displayed inside the relevant product before playing.
Acceptance and results may depend on the official game system, provider rules, published product terms and, where applicable, RNG or certification data. A disrupted connection does not necessarily cancel a bet already accepted by the system.
8. Bonuses and Promotions
A Habtam Bet bonus code, free bet, cashback offer, odds boost or other promotion may have separate conditions. Before opting in, users should check:
- eligibility, start and end dates;
- minimum deposit or qualifying stake;
- wagering requirements and eligible markets or games;
- maximum bonus value and maximum winnings from bonus funds;
- withdrawal limits, expiry rules and excluded payment methods;
- restrictions concerning multiple accounts, coordinated play or other bonus abuse.
A promotion may be changed or cancelled where its published rules and applicable requirements allow. Bonus funds are not guaranteed profit, and requesting a withdrawal before completing the conditions may remove the bonus or related winnings.
9. Deposits, Withdrawals and Payment Rules
Deposits and withdrawals must use methods supported by Habtam and, where required, owned or authorized by the account holder. Available methods, transaction limits, processing time and fees may vary according to the provider, account status, verification level and risk review.
A recommended withdrawal procedure is: Step 1, confirm that account information is accurate; Step 2, check bonus wagering and available balance; Step 3, select an eligible payment method and review disclosed limits or fees; Step 4, keep the transaction ID and monitor official messages.
Withdrawals may require identity verification, payment ownership checks, fraud screening, customer due diligence, anti-money-laundering review or a source-of-funds assessment. Processing may remain pending while necessary compliance checks are completed.
10. Verification, KYC and Compliance Checks
Habtam may request information or documents to verify identity, age, address, payment authorization, source of funds or account activity. Evidence may include an acceptable identity document, proof of address, payment confirmation, selfie check or other legally acceptable material.
If KYC requirements are not completed, deposits, bonuses, betting, withdrawals or account access may be limited in accordance with the applicable rules. Documents should be submitted only through an official communication channel and must be clear, valid and unaltered.
11. Prohibited Use and Account Abuse
The following conduct may result in rejected bets, cancelled bonuses, payment review, restricted withdrawals, suspension or closure where justified:
- underage use, false information or multiple accounts;
- using another person’s identity or payment method without authorization;
- bonus abuse, collusion, fraud or improper chargebacks;
- bots, scripts, automation, scraping or interference with the platform;
- exploiting bugs, delayed data, technical errors or incorrect odds;
- money laundering or suspicious transactions;
- threatening or abusive conduct toward support staff;
- attempts to bypass age, identity or regional restrictions.
12. Account Suspension, Blocking and Closure
Habtam may temporarily restrict, suspend, block or close an account because of suspected fraud, failed verification, a security concern, payment dispute, duplicate account, bonus abuse, prohibited location, legal restriction or breach of these Terms.
Restrictions may remain while records and transactions are reviewed. Users may request closure or available limits through official support channels. Responsible gaming requests are handled in line with the Responsible Gaming rules.
13. Responsible Gaming
Betting should be entertainment, not a source of income or a solution to financial problems. Users should set time and deposit limits, avoid borrowing to gamble and never chase losses. It is advisable to stop if betting causes stress, debt, conflict or loss of control.
Where available, responsible betting measures may include deposit limits, time-outs, self-exclusion or account closure. A self-excluded user must not create another account or try to bypass a restriction.
14. Legal Status, License and Regulation
Compliance review required before publication. Use of the service is subject to applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, the relevant regulatory framework and these Terms. Users should verify the current Legal Status in Ethiopia, operator identification and License & Regulation information using current official sources or the competent authority’s latest information.
Nothing on this page should be interpreted as government approval or as a licensing claim beyond verified disclosures. Availability may depend on eligibility and local requirements. General operator information is available on About Us.
15. Privacy, Cookies and Data Use
Personal data, account records and verification information are processed according to the Privacy Policy and applicable data protection requirements. Cookies and tracking technologies are explained in the Cookie Policy. Users should review both policies to understand secure handling of personal data and available choices.
16. Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer
Except where applicable law provides otherwise, Habtam is not responsible for losses caused by user error, inaccurate information supplied by a user, misuse of an account, poor internet access, device failure, third-party payment delays or force majeure events.
Users remain responsible for checking confirmations, transaction records and account security. Additional limitations are stated in the Disclaimer.
17. Complaints and Contact
Users may contact support about account access, settlement, withdrawals, bonuses, verification, responsible gaming or technical problems. A clear complaint-handling request should include the username, registered phone or email, relevant date, transaction ID, bet ID, screenshot and any earlier support reference.
Step 1: collect the relevant records. Step 2: describe the issue and requested review clearly. Step 3: submit it through an official support channel and keep the reference. Passwords, full payment credentials and sensitive documents must never be posted in public channels.
