ScoreBet Ethiopia Review 2026 – Sports Betting, Payments & Licence

ScoreBet is a sports betting brand associated with the Ethiopian betting market, with football forming one of the main areas of interest for local players.

Also commonly written as Scorebet, the brand is associated with online sports wagering, pre-match odds and live betting. Football is particularly important, with Ethiopian-facing ScoreBet information covering both major international competitions and local football.

This review focuses specifically on ScoreBet Ethiopia and the features relevant to Ethiopian players.

ScoreBet Ethiopia is associated with sports betting services targeted at Ethiopian users. The platform's main attraction is conventional sports wagering, particularly football. Ethiopian-facing information about Scorebet has associated the service with:

This makes ScoreBet more relevant to users interested in a traditional sportsbook than players looking exclusively for lottery-style games.

Sports betting is the central ScoreBet product. Players select a sporting event, choose the market they want to predict and add the selection to their betting slip. The final potential payout depends on the stake and odds.

Football is the strongest part of the Scorebet offering described for Ethiopian users. The platform has been associated with coverage of competitions including major European leagues as well as Ethiopian football. Popular international competitions of interest to Ethiopian bettors include:

Ethiopian Premier League coverage is particularly relevant because many international sportsbooks give considerably more attention to European football than domestic Ethiopian competitions.

Football Markets

Depending on the fixture, sports betting markets may include options such as:

Accumulators can produce larger potential payouts, but every included selection normally needs to win for the overall bet to succeed.

Live betting, also known as in-play betting, allows users to place wagers after a sporting event has started. Odds can change continuously depending on what happens during the match.

A goal, red card, penalty or significant change in match momentum can quickly affect the available prices. This creates a more interactive betting experience but also encourages faster decision-making.

Although football receives most of the attention, Ethiopian-facing ScoreBet information has also associated the platform with additional sports.

The exact selection can vary depending on the sporting calendar. Football nevertheless remains the clearest focus for users evaluating ScoreBet Ethiopia.

The betting slip is where selected wagers are combined before being submitted. For a single bet, the process is relatively simple:

Multiple selections can usually be combined into an accumulator. For example, combining three football selections means the odds are multiplied together, increasing the potential return.

ስለ ScoreBet ውርርድ

Ethiopian-facing information about ScoreBet describes a mobile-oriented registration process based around a telephone number and password. This type of registration is particularly practical for Ethiopia because it avoids making email the primary account identifier.

However, registration requirements can change. Users may also be asked for additional information when identity verification becomes necessary, particularly before financial transactions or withdrawals.

Players should provide accurate personal information and use a password that is not shared with another service.

Returning Scorebet users typically access their betting account through the login area. Account credentials should always remain private. In particular, users should never provide another person with:

Several Ethiopian-focused ScoreBet pages claim support for local payment methods including:

These would make practical sense for an Ethiopian sportsbook because mobile money is significantly more convenient for many users than international card payments.

Players should check the actual cashier/payment section before sending money. Important information to verify includes:

• minimum deposit;
• minimum withdrawal;
• supported mobile wallets;
• transaction fees;
• daily withdrawal limits;
• processing times;
• identity-verification requirements.

Payment reliability is one of the most important factors when evaluating any sportsbook.

Some Ethiopian ScoreBet information claims same-day withdrawals through selected mobile-money methods. However, we could not independently verify a current first-party withdrawal policy confirming that processing time for ScoreBet Ethiopia.

Actual processing can depend on:

Players should always check the withdrawal conditions before depositing rather than waiting until after a winning bet.

ScoreBet Ethiopia is presented as a mobile-oriented betting service. That makes sense for an Ethiopian sportsbook because many users access betting platforms primarily through smartphones. A mobile sportsbook should allow users to:

A browser-based mobile platform also has an advantage because it does not require installing additional software.

Some Ethiopia-focused ScoreBet websites advertise a dedicated Scorebet application. However, we could not sufficiently verify a current official Ethiopian ScoreBet application and its publisher through strong first-party evidence.

Downloading betting applications from unknown APK repositories creates unnecessary security risk.

Some third-party reviews describe ScoreBet Ethiopia as a combined sportsbook and online casino, with slots and casino-style products. However, the evidence for these products is less clear than the evidence for sports betting.

An important distinction exists between the Ethiopian ScoreBet identity and the international scorebet.com brand.

That is useful evidence about SCOREBET.com.

For Ethiopian players, the relevant question is whether the service they are using has authorization applicable to Ethiopia.

This is currently the most important regulatory question.

Ethiopia's sports-betting market underwent a major change in December 2025 when the country's authorities revoked sports-betting operating licences. The Ethiopian Lottery Service reiterated its position in July 2026, stating that no sports-betting organization was currently operating in Ethiopia with a legal licence.

The regulator warned users against depositing money through unauthorized:

Safety involves more than whether a website loads correctly. There are several separate factors to consider.

For these reasons, ScoreBet should not be described as “100% safe” based simply on its brand name or historical presence.

Sports betting should be treated as paid entertainment rather than a reliable source of income. A sensible approach includes:

• deciding on a betting budget in advance;
• never using borrowed money;
• avoiding money required for rent, food or bills;
• not increasing stakes to recover previous losses;
• limiting the number of live bets;
• taking breaks after significant losses;
• keeping track of total deposits and withdrawals.

Accumulator betting deserves particular attention. A 10-match accumulator may advertise a very large potential payout, but it also requires every necessary selection to succeed.

በኃላፊነት መወራረድ

ScoreBet Ethiopia is best understood as a sports-focused betting service with football at the centre of its offering. For Ethiopian users, its main appeal comes from familiar sportsbook functionality: international football, Ethiopian-focused coverage, live betting and mobile access.

The broader ScoreBet name also has a long international betting history. SCOREBET.com states that its Cyprus operation dates back to 1999 and currently operates under a Cyprus National Betting Authority licence.

The Ethiopian Lottery Service has stated that no sports-betting operator currently holds a legal licence in Ethiopia. Consequently, we would not describe ScoreBet as a currently licensed Ethiopian sportsbook unless new regulatory authorization can be independently confirmed.

There are also areas where ScoreBet Ethiopia could provide greater transparency, particularly around payment methods, withdrawals, corporate relationships and its mobile application.

From a product perspective, ScoreBet is most relevant to players interested in football and conventional sports betting. From a trust perspective, users should verify the current regulatory and payment situation before depositing money.

Visit ScoreBet

Every review on this site follows the same checklist. We assess a betting platform across its core areas: sports coverage and markets, live betting, the bet-slip model, registration and account security, payments and withdrawals, mobile access and app status — alongside the operator's licensing and regulatory standing, which we treat as the deciding factor.

ScoreBet Ethiopia was reviewed from Ethiopian-facing ScoreBet information and the publicly stated details of SCOREBET.com in 2026, keeping the two identities separate. Local payment claims (Telebirr, CBE Birr, M-Pesa, Amole), same-day withdrawals, an official app and casino products are reported as third-party claims that could not be independently confirmed; the Cyprus operator's stated details are attributed to SCOREBET.com itself. The licence question is stated in the context of the December 2025 revocation and the Ethiopian Lottery Service's July 2026 statement. No bets were placed, no technical audit was conducted, and no rating is assigned.

This site may earn a commission when you follow links to betting operators. Commissions never influence our conclusions — the licence and payment caution kept throughout this review reflects that independence.

The December 2025 revocation of Ethiopia's sports-betting operating licences referenced in this review is based on the following reports:

• Addis Insight — "Ethiopia Revokes Licenses of All Sports Betting Companies" (15 December 2025)
• SiGMA World — "Ethiopia revokes all sports betting licences" (16 December 2025)
• iGaming Today — "Ethiopia revokes all sports betting licences in sweeping national crackdown" (16 December 2025)

The July 2026 statement is the Ethiopian Lottery Service's reiteration that no sports-betting organization was currently operating in Ethiopia with a legal licence, together with its warning against unauthorized websites, applications, social-media pages, agents and other money-collection channels, as publicly reported.

The Cyprus details — Cleverpath Holdings Ltd, the National Betting Authority of Cyprus, licence A014 and a betting history dating back to 1999 — are as stated by SCOREBET.com about itself and concern that international brand, not ScoreBet Ethiopia. Ethiopian-facing details (products, markets, phone-based registration, local payment and same-day withdrawal claims, app and casino claims) reference Ethiopian-facing ScoreBet information, much of it third-party. Fixtures and odds in the images are illustrative. This review deliberately assigns no rating.
