Shamo Bet - Sport betting and Online Casnino platform in Ethiopia

Shamo Bet is a sports betting and online casino brand aimed at players in Ethiopia, reachable at shamo.bet and through a Telegram channel. The site runs a football-heavy sportsbook next to a games section pulled from outside studios, with a running set of promotions layered on top of both.

Shamo Bet at a Glance

Sports Betting on Shamo Bet

The sportsbook centres on football — well over a thousand pre-match fixtures at any given time, across the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and domestic Ethiopian competitions, among others. Around fifteen further sports sit alongside it, basketball and tennis among the larger ones, floorball and table tennis among the smaller.

Odds run in decimal format, and a bet slip on the side of the page tracks combined odds across several selections at once. Two extra tools sit on top of the ordinary odds board: Build My Bets, which assembles a slip around a chosen risk strategy, and Event Predictor, a free pick-one-side contest tied to marquee events with no stake involved. The Sports page goes through the markets, the bet slip, both tools and the platform's general betting rules in full.

Casino and Games

The Games hub sits next to the sportsbook in the main menu, pulling slots, crash games and keno variants from more than a dozen outside studios — Pragmatic Play, Habanero, Endorphina and Evoplay among them — rather than building titles in-house.

Aviator and JetX, both crash-style games with a climbing multiplier, sit consistently near the top of the Most Popular in Ethiopia row, alongside Chicken Road 2 and a rotating set of slots. A "Find a Game" tool suggests a random title for anyone who'd rather not scroll through the catalogue. The Games page covers the hub layout, provider filtering and the most-played titles in more depth.

Creating an Account and Local Payments

An account sits in front of both sections — odds and game thumbnails are visible without signing in, placing a bet or spinning a slot isn't. The sign-up form asks for an Ethiopian phone number and a password, plus confirmation that the account holder is 18 or older and accepts the Terms and Conditions. Every account runs in Ethiopian birr; there's no other currency option.

Funding an account runs through Ethiopian mobile-money and bank channels rather than international cards — telebirr, Commercial Bank of Ethiopia, Bank of Abyssinia, CBEbirr, ebirr and M-PESA all appear on the deposit screen.

The Registration page covers the sign-up form, the payment options and what a new account unlocks in more depth, including how sign-in and account recovery work afterwards.

Promotions and the Points System

Five recurring promotions run alongside a separate tournament: Daily Streak Rewards for logging in on consecutive days, Spin and Win for Premier League bets, cashback on both casino losses and near-miss accumulators, and a rotating daily coupon. A separate Daily Leaderboard tournament splits a 250,000 ETB pool among the top 250 casino players each session.

All of that runs alongside Shamo Points, a separate loyalty system that starts every account at Level 0 and climbs through five VIP tiers — Starter through Platinum — with cashback rates rising at each step. The Promotions page covers each offer's terms in detail, and the Registration page covers how the points and VIP structure works.

Using Shamo Bet on Mobile

The mobile site keeps the same category tabs and filters as desktop, condensed under a bottom navigation bar, with a live feed of recent wins running across the top of the screen and a banner for whichever promotion or tournament is running that day.

The brand has a dedicated app that can be downloaded from the official website. It offers access to all the site's services: you can place sports bets, play games, and manage deposits and withdrawals—everything available on the web version. Currently, the app is available only for Android. The App page explains how to install APK on android and walks through installing the PWA on iOS and desktop.
