The lobby of 888Starz supports from the get-go and the bet slip conveniently stays on the right so you are ready to go at any time. The main betting rails (Sports, Live, Esports, Slots, Live Casino, Virtuals) remain visible, and the odds tick over rapidly, and everything is just as seamless on mobile devices. For those who want to spin a few reels without complications, check a market, or place a wager, this sportsbook is a real workhorse.
Registration
Sign-up at 888Starz is available via Phone, Email, One-Click, and social tabs. There is a promo-code field, ETB support, with the +251 prefix being automatically detected. Go directly to My Account after creating the account to fill out all the fields (full name, country, email, and a working phone number), and then you can select Participation in Bonus Offers. Having a complete profile and opting in before making a deposit are required for almost all promotions.
Deposits & Withdrawals: ETB banking
The cashier speaks natively in Birr (no currency exchange), which is a downside, as local payment methods are still missing from the menu.
Payment cards (such as Mastercard), bank transfer services (such as Commercial Bank), and a well-known e-wallet row (such as Skrill, Neteller, Jetonbank, Skrill 1-Tap, and PayDo Wallet) are all available.
- Additionally, there is a lengthy list of cryptocurrencies (BTC, TRON, USDT variations, BNB, XRP, LTC, etc.).
- All bonuses for cryptocurrencies are disabled by a single rule that appears throughout the website.
- Use fiat rails when clearing offers if promotions are important to you.
Sportsbook: accumulator-friendly and live-first
The sports area makes sense, despite it may seem a bit chaotic at first. The market grid expands in place, the slip is pinned, odss refresh instantly and at all times, and filters reside on the left. It works especially well for bets with multiple legs. Simply scroll through the slate, add two or three options, check the price movement, and place your order. There’s no pop-up chaos, and live and pre-match live at the top.
Aside from conventional sports, there’s also extensive coverage of eSports. With the standard pillars (CS2, Dota 2, League of Legends, Valorant, and StarCraft II), the gaming section has its own hub. You can lock onto one game without losing your slip thanks to discipline tiles that instantly trim the feed. If you want short-cycle results between actual fixtures, virtual sports fall under More → Virtual sports. There are also virtual sports additions from juggernauts like 1X2Gaming and Golden Race.
Casino: large grid, numerous options
You can easily navigate the 888Starz casino by collections and providers using the filters on the left side of the Slots page. Classic 5×3s and Hold-and-Win games are available alongside crash hits like Aviator. You can hop sideways easily to the Live Casino lobby, which combines studios and table formats. The coverage includes speed baccarat sets, blackjack, roulette (including Gravity/Listening variations), and a few branded rooms. When playing with a bonus, keep in mind that the casino has time-boxed and stake-capped wagering rules (details below).
Installing the mobile app
For Ethiopians on the go, there is an Android APK (available for download from the website’s Mobile section) and iOS coverage. With faster access to bet history, acca building, and cashier shortcuts, the app mimics the website’s design. Notifications assist you in tracking settled legs during brief betting windows. Don’t forget to place your qualifying bets within the app if you’re pursuing 888Starz’s mobile free bet promotion; wagers made through a mobile browser won’t be accepted.

Key details
- Bonus sequence is important; if you deposit for stage 2 before stage 1 has been cleared, the subsequent credit will be blocked.
- Only settled bets are eligible to be wagered during the bonus window, so everything must settle.
- Name matching: KYC delays occur when the payment owner’s details do not match your 888Starz profile.
- Note that deposits made on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the welcome period still adhere to the 1-2-3-4 structure (not the weekly reload promotions).
