Premier Bet launched in Ethiopia in 2025, giving local punters access to one of the most experienced sportsbooks on the continent. What sets it apart is its combination of popular and niche football markets and the massive roster of video slots. We explored every corner of the platform, from the sportsbook to the live casino, and discovered some unique features that we can’t wait to share.
Registering an Account
Registering with Premier Bet is a breeze. Simply click ‘Join’, enter your name, phone number, email, and password, then verify via SMS. A quick ID upload and a few additional fields on your Account page unlock withdrawals and bonus eligibility. It’s a straightforward process that should give you the confidence to get started without any hassle.
Mobile App Experience
We gave the Android APK a try on a mid-range handset and were pleasantly surprised by how smoothly it ran—no “lag safari” as we sometimes see with other apps. Installing is straightforward: download from the site, allow “Unknown Sources,” and log in.
The app sends timely odds-boost alerts (we got notified just as the Ethiopian national team’s odds spiked!), and the live-bet interface feels intuitive. While iOS users rely on the mobile web, that version mimics app navigation so well that you won’t miss a tap of a native build. In short, it’s the kind of app you’d keep installed instead of tossing it aside after a week.

Premier Bet covers nearly 30 sports, from the Ethiopian Premier League to international heavyweight events. Football fans can feast on pre-match and live markets: match-winner, over/under 2.5 goals, both teams to score, Asian handicaps, first-goalscorer props—you name it. The variety is sure to keep you on the Edge of your seat. Basketball bettors will appreciate EuroLeague and NBA markets, while tennis covers Grand Slams down to Challenger events. Cricket, rugby, volleyball, table tennis, darts-even water polo find a spot in the menu, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
Basketball bettors will appreciate EuroLeague and NBA markets: point spreads (–5.5, +3.0), total points lines, even player props like “LeBron over 28.5 points.” Tennis covers Grand Slams down to Challenger events with set betting and total games. Cricket fans can back IPL powerhouses or local tournaments; rugby, volleyball, table tennis, darts—even water polo find a spot in the menu.
Esports rivals the majors: CS: GO, Dota 2, LoL, Valorant—map winners, handicaps, first-blood props. Live betting brings real-time pitch maps, win probabilities, and in-play parlays. The Navigator tab curates the hottest bets, while Virtual Sports runs simulated football, horse racing, greyhounds, and motorsport 24/7—perfect when your favorite league’s on a break.
Casino Galore: From Classic Slots to Live Dealers
If you’ve ever wished Vegas would fit in your pocket, Premier Bet’s Vegas lobby delivers thousands of games. Standouts include:
Video Slots: feature-packed Egypt Fire, Emirates x1000 and glittering Brilliant Gems
Megaways & 243-Way Slots: dynamic reel modifiers and massive paylines
Progressive Jackpots: life-changing titles like Mega Moolah and Cosmic Fortune
Table-game fans can explore European, French, Speed Auto, and American Roulette, plus Blackjack variants, Sic Bo, Baccarat, Casino Hold’em, Three Card Poker… the works. Our team spun French Roulette at a 2 ETB table, chasing that elusive 35-to-1 straight-up textbook shot with “bet small, dream big” strategy.
The Live Casino, powered by Ezugi, Pragmatic Play Live and LuckyStreak, brings real dealers front and center. We hopped into Sweet Bonanza Candyland, chatted with the host, and even tipped responsibly (a token gesture for their entertaining banter). Multi-camera views and chat make it feel like a virtual night out—minus the overpriced cocktails.
Lottery & Instant Win
Under Lotto, you’ll find Keno, Lucky Six and SuperLotto draws every few minutes—great for a quick flutter between meetings. The Instant Lotto and Scratch Cards tabs (think Gold Rush 250,000, Diamond Strike) give results in seconds, satisfying that “must-press-spin-now” itch.
Banking: Instant Mobile-Money Integration
Forget banking wires that take days. Premier Bet integrates with:
- Telebirr (ETB’s flagship mobile money)
- M-Pesa Safaricom
- Arifpay
Deposits and withdrawals process in seconds, with on-phone approvals as quick as scanning a QR code at your favorite café. We topped up via Telebirr during peak hours seamlessly—no queues, no fuss. While some rivals still rely on Visa/MasterCard and clunky bank transfers, Premier Bet’s mobile-money focus feels perfectly at home in Ethiopia’s digital payment revolution.
Customer Service & Security
As a licensed and regulated platform by the National Lottery Administration of Ethiopia, Premier Bet ensures a secure and reliable betting experience. The support hotline and 24/7 live chat are there to assist you with any queries, from bonus clarifications to help with APK installation. This commitment to security and customer service should give you peace of mind as you enjoy your betting experience.
How It Stacks Up
Against regional rivals like BetKing (solid local promotions but a slimmer game selection) and global heavyweights like Bet365 (massive international reach but less focus on Ethiopian mobile users), Premier Bet finds a sweet spot. Local payment rails, extensive Ethiopian Premier League markets, and a polished interface give it both hometown charm and international polish.
Final Thoughts
Premier Bet Ethiopia excels at being a jack-of-all-trades. The sportsbook is robust for die-hard football fans, the casino offers a dizzying variety, and mobile-money banking is practically fraud-proof. We tried it ourselves with a test wager on a live derby and a spin on a progressive slot; both experiences were fast, reliable, and, most importantly, fun.
Whether you’re chasing football glory, spinning reels for that jackpot buzz, or just want a quick scratch-card fix, Premier Bet Ethiopia is ready and waiting. Why not sign up today, claim that 100% Sports Welcome Bonus, and see where your luck lands?
