Those punters looking for a traditional betting experience will appreciate Lalibet’s conventional approach to an online sportsbook – from the clean design and traditional layout to the good old welcome bonus and core sports, this platform is easy to use and has a good set of features to cater to all bettors.
Registration
All that’s required for a Lalibet account is to be at least 18 years old and have a valid phone number. You will find the Register button in the upper right corner of the screen. You will need to fill in your phone number and first and last name. When you’re done, click SIGNUP and you will be sent a verification code via SMS. With your account verified, you’re ready to log in and start placing bets. Alternatively, you can log in with a prepaid card – simply enter the card code and you’re all set.
Deposits and Withdrawals
Unfortunately, Lalibet doesn’t support online banking methods. To make a deposit, you will need to first visit one of their land-based shops and ask the cashier to deposit online. You will be issued a deposit code that you need to enter in your account by clicking on ‘Deposit’ and selecting ‘Shop.’
To initiate a withdrawal process, click on ‘Withdraw’ in your account and choose ‘Shop.’ You will then need to enter the amount you want to withdraw and your password. A code will be sent via email that you need to present to the cashier at the shop in order to receive your funds.
Bonuses and Promotions
Lalibet offers an online welcome bonus to new members. The promotion is available to users who make their first deposit to their online account and it’s a 100% deposit match up to 5,000 ETB that will be credited to your sport bonus account.
The rollover is 4x the deposit and only bets with a minimum odd of 1.4 and minimum total odds of 6.00 will contribute to the rollover. The wagering requirements must be met within one month; otherwise, the bonus funds may be forfeited.
Lalibet also runs regular promotions such as a 15% multiple bonus. The platform also offers best odds guarantee as well as jackpots for selected events.
Mobile App
Although Lalibet doesn’t offer any iOS or Android apps, the responsive version is easy to use and offers all features you could need to manage your account and place bets on the go. It’s a bit different from the desktop version, but it’s got an intuitive interface so you will easily find all that you’re looking for.
At the top, you will see the login and registration buttons and the links to the live section and sports in neatly arranged tabs that you can scroll through. The central part of the screen is dedicated to the top events, and the betting slip and My Bets section are conveniently located at the bottom, together with a menu button. That makes it easy to use the website directly in the browser of your iPhone or Android smartphone without having to download any apps.
Support and Contacts
Although at the footer of the website, there are a couple of icons indicating different ways to get in touch, they appear to be inactive. The Contact Us page is also empty. The email and phone number listed on the Terms and Conditions page are for the Tanzanian client center, so it appears that there is no online option to get in touch with a customer care representative in Ethiopia.
Conclusion
The lack of customer support is a big disadvantage, but if you’re willing to ignore it and proceed to betting, you will find that Lalibet offers a variety of markets on 18 sports, including soccer, basketball, tennis, cricket, rugby, and more. There are no motorsports, horse racing, or boxing, though. There are a number of virtual sports that include Instant Greyhounds, Instant Horses, and Instant Velodrome. Although there’s no separate casino section, you can find a dozen of table games in the Virtual Games section, including roulette, blackjack, and Texas Hold’em. Lalibet also offers live betting where you will find a good choice of events and markets.
The website has a standard layout and is fully mobile-optimized, so it’s easy to use by everyone. There’s a welcome bonus for new members and different ongoing promotions as well as jackpot prizes. The Terms and Conditions page and Betting Rules section provide a lot of information, so if you don’t think you’ll need customer support online and you don’t mind visiting a shop to make deposits and withdrawals, you could give it a try.
