Privacy matters before you register, log in, make a payment, place a bet, or contact support. This Habtam Bet Privacy Policy explains how Habtam Bet handles information connected with its website, mobile services, app, account features, betting products, games, bonuses, payments, and customer communications. We collect information needed to operate services securely, use it for defined operational and compliance purposes, and provide ways to ask questions through our Contact Us page.
In simple terms, “personal data” means information that identifies you or can reasonably be linked to you, such as your name, phone number, account activity, or device details. “Processing” means collecting, recording, using, storing, sharing, or deleting that information. Habtam Bet privacy practices are intended to support transparent handling of player information while protecting accounts and meeting applicable requirements.
Who We Are
Habtam Bet provides online betting and gaming services for eligible adult users in Ethiopia, subject to applicable rules, eligibility requirements, regional restrictions, and the operator’s terms. Information about the service and operator identification is available on our About Us page. Users should verify the current licensing and regulatory status through the relevant official sources and the information available on our License & Regulation page.
This policy applies to visitors who browse without an account as well as registered account holders in Addis Ababa and other Ethiopian regions where access may be available. It also applies when you use an authorized service channel, including customer support, email, chat, or mobile access.
Information We Collect
Habtam Bet personal data is limited to information reasonably needed for lawful, security, operational, consumer protection, and regulatory purposes. Depending on how you use the platform, this may include:
- Account data: name, phone number, email address, date of birth, username, and password-related security information.
- Identity and verification data: documents or details used for age checks, KYC requirements, customer due diligence, fraud prevention, and account-holder confirmation.
- Transaction data: deposit and withdrawal requests, payment authorization details, balance history, records of transaction, bonus activity, and payment-related checks.
- Betting and gaming data: bets placed, odds selected, results, live betting activity, Keno activity, game sessions, winnings, and promotion participation.
- Technical data: IP address, device type, browser, operating system, app version, cookies, login records, and security log files.
- Communication data: support messages, complaints, emails, chat records, and call information where applicable.
- Responsible gaming data: deposit limits, account restrictions, self-exclusion requests, and indicators relevant to responsible betting measures.
For example, an identity check may be requested before a withdrawal where account details, payment activity, or risk controls require confirmation. Habtam Bet should not seek unnecessary sensitive information simply because a user wishes to browse, place a sports bet, or use a game feature.
How We Use Personal Data
We process betting account data to create and manage accounts, confirm age eligibility, maintain secure login functions, process deposits and withdrawals, and settle bets, winnings, bonuses, and promotions. Data may also help identify duplicate accounts, payment abuse, bonus abuse, suspicious transactions, or unusual betting patterns requiring review.
Habtam Bet data protection also supports service quality. Technical and usage information can help identify app errors, improve website performance, understand whether a page works properly on different devices, and assist support staff in resolving an account issue. Communication records may be reviewed to investigate a complaint or provide a consistent response.
Where permitted, we may send service notifications about account access, verification, transactions, responsible gaming controls, or material changes. Marketing communications are sent only where allowed and should include an available way to opt out. We may also process data to meet applicable Ethiopian laws and regulations, tax, accounting, anti-money laundering, licensing, security, and regulatory duties.
Legal Basis / Lawful Reasons
Personal data may be processed where it is necessary to provide requested services, operate an account, fulfil payment and betting transactions, comply with legal obligations, protect users and the platform, prevent fraud, resolve disputes, or respond to valid requests from a competent authority. In some situations, Habtam Bet may rely on your consent where consent is required, such as for certain marketing or cookie choices.
The exact lawful reason can depend on the activity. A login alert may be necessary for account security, while a KYC review may be required to meet compliance requirements or confirm a withdrawal procedure. Where the operator identifies specific legal bases under applicable law, those details should be confirmed through compliance review.
Cookies and Tracking
Cookies are small files stored in a browser or device. Similar technologies may be used to keep you signed in, remember preferences, protect against unauthorized access, analyse traffic, measure page performance, and support permitted marketing measurement. They can be particularly useful when a player moves between a browser, mobile version, and app.
You can find further information about cookie choices and categories in the Cookie Policy. Disabling certain cookies may affect features such as secure login, language preferences, or the availability of some account functions.
Data Sharing
Habtam Bet does not sell personal data as a product. Access may, however, be provided to contracted third parties when needed to operate services or meet legal requirements. These may include payment processors, identity verification and KYC providers, hosting or cloud infrastructure providers, analytics and security tools, customer support systems, and professional advisers.
Information may also be disclosed to regulators, law enforcement bodies, courts, or other authorized parties where legally required or necessary to protect rights, investigate fraud, enforce platform rules, or respond to a valid legal process. Third-party access should be limited to the relevant purpose and subject to appropriate confidentiality, security, and compliance controls.
International Transfers
Some specialist providers may process information outside Ethiopia, for example where technical infrastructure or verification services are operated internationally. Where this occurs, transfers must follow applicable legal requirements and suitable safeguards designed to support secure handling of personal data. Availability and processing arrangements may depend on the provider used for the relevant service.
Data Storage and Retention
Information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for account operation, financial records, payment reconciliation, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, responsible gaming records, security monitoring, and applicable regulatory requirements. Retention may continue after account closure where records must be kept for legal, financial, security, or compliance reasons.
When information is no longer needed, it should be deleted, anonymised, or otherwise handled in accordance with applicable retention procedures. A deletion request does not always mean every record can be removed immediately, particularly where a legal obligation or ongoing investigation applies.
Security Measures
Habtam Bet uses reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. These may include access controls, secure login systems, encryption where appropriate, monitoring for suspicious activity, internal procedures, staff confidentiality obligations, backups, and fraud detection tools. Such controls help reduce risk but cannot eliminate every risk associated with internet and mobile communications.
Account security also depends on the player. Use a unique password, avoid sharing codes or login details, and access your account only through the official service channel. If you notice unusual activity, change your credentials and use the Habtam Bet login page only after confirming that you are on the official domain.
Step 1: Check the website address before entering account-holder information.
Step 2: Do not send passwords, verification codes, or payment credentials through unofficial messages.
Step 3: Report suspected account misuse promptly through an authorized support channel.
User Rights
Subject to applicable data protection laws, you may have rights to request access to your personal data, correction of inaccurate information, deletion, restriction of processing, objection to certain processing, or information about how your data is handled. You may also ask about marketing preferences or make a complaint-handling request.
To submit a privacy enquiry, use Contact Us and provide enough information for the request to be identified securely. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on a request. Certain rights may be limited where Habtam Bet must retain records for legal, financial, fraud prevention, security, or regulatory reasons.
Age Restrictions and Children’s Data
Habtam Bet services are intended only for eligible adult users. We do not knowingly collect personal data from underage users. Age restriction checks and identity verification may be used to support this requirement. If a parent, guardian, or user believes that an underage person has submitted information, they should contact support without delay and review the Age Restriction Policy.
Responsible Gaming and Account Restrictions
Account activity may be processed to apply responsible betting measures, including deposit limits, restrictions, cooling-off controls, or self-exclusion. Risk indicators can help the platform respond to a request for support, apply an account restriction, or meet relevant platform rules. These measures are not designed to encourage further play; they are intended to help manage safer participation.
For information on available controls and support-related rules, visit Responsible Gaming. A restriction may affect access to betting, games, payments, promotions, or account features while it is active.
Terms, Bonuses, and Payments
This policy operates alongside the Terms and Conditions, payment checks, anti-fraud controls, and rules governing promotions. Transaction information may be reviewed to confirm payment authorization, applicable limits, processing time, or a withdrawal request. Before accepting a promotion, users should also read the relevant conditions for a Habtam Bet bonus code.
Different products can create different records: Habtam Bet sport betting and Habtam Bet live may record selections and settlement activity, while Habtam Bet keno and Habtam Bet games may record session and result information. These records support account management, transaction accuracy, dispute review, and compliance controls.
Updates to This Policy
Habtam Bet may update this Privacy Policy when services, security practices, legal requirements, or data processing activities change. The latest version published on this page applies from its effective publication date. We encourage users to review the policy periodically, particularly before providing verification documents, changing payment details, or using new account features.
