About Zemenbet Ethiopia
Zemenbet is operated by Zemen Sport Betting Plc and holds a licence issued by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia National Lottery Administration. The platform launched in April 2022 and has since become one of the more actively used local betting operators, particularly among bettors in Addis Ababa, Dire Dawa and Hawassa.
Below are the core facts pulled from publicly available sources.
Registration, login and account security
Creating an account on Zemenbet takes a few minutes. You'll need a valid Ethiopian phone number and a national ID, passport or driver's licence for identity verification. KYC is typically completed within 48 hours of submission, which is required before your first withdrawal.
Steps to register at the partner platform:
- Go to the partner site via the link on this page
- Click the "Register" button in the top-right corner
- Enter your full name, Ethiopian phone number (+251 format) and a password
- Accept the Terms and Conditions and confirm you are 18 or older
- Verify your phone number via the OTP SMS sent to your number
- Complete KYC by uploading your Ethiopian ID, passport or driver's licence
Logging in uses the same phone number and password. If you lose access, the "Forgot password" option sends a reset code to your registered number. Two-factor verification via OTP is available and worth enabling, especially if you access the platform from shared devices common in internet cafés in Addis Ababa or Mekelle.

Zemenbet processes all transactions in ETB, which removes the conversion fees that international platforms typically add. Telebirr and CBE Birr are the two most-used deposit methods among Ethiopian players, with deposits typically reflecting in under 5 minutes. M-Birr and HelloCash work similarly for users in regions like Tigray and Oromia who rely on those networks.
Card payments via Visa and Mastercard are supported, though processing banks in Addis Ababa sometimes add a short review step that can push card deposits to 10–15 minutes. Withdrawals via Telebirr usually arrive within 2 hours; bank-based withdrawals can take up to 24 hours. Tether (USDT) is available as a crypto option for players who prefer digital asset settlement.
Minimum deposit starts at 50 ETB. Before withdrawing for the first time, KYC verification must be complete – this typically means submitting your Ethiopian national ID or passport and waiting up to 48 hours for approval. Withdrawal limits vary by account level, so it's worth checking the current terms at the partner platform.
Sports betting: Ethiopian Premier League and beyond
Zemenbet covers pre-match and live betting across football, tennis, cricket and athletics. Ethiopian Premier League matches, including fixtures between Saint George SC and Coffee FC, draw some of the highest local betting volumes. CAF Champions League games also attract significant interest, particularly when Ethiopian clubs are involved.
Standard football markets include 1X2, Both Teams to Score (BTTS), Over/Under 2.5 goals, Asian handicap and match result with a handicap. Accumulator bets are supported, and cashout is available on selected live events. Odds are quoted in decimal format by default. For international cricket, tournaments like the ICC World Cup bring a notable spike in Ethiopian bettors placing multi-leg accumulators.
