Casino API for Ethiopia: games, crash titles and football betting in birr

Birr on every screen

A lot of suppliers say they "support African markets" and then ask you to run your Ethiopian players in dollars. We do not. ETB is enabled for games across the catalog and is part of the currency set the sportsbook runs in, and Ethiopian brands are running on it today. Register the player in birr, and every stake and every win is debited and credited in ETB on your platform.

Your currency call confirms ETB on your account before you build, and the game list you pull is filtered by what a birr player can actually launch. That removes the most common launch-day failure in emerging markets: a game that opens, then rejects the player's currency.

A sportsbook led by football

In Ethiopia, the sportsbook is usually what brings a player in. Football dominates, and Ethiopian punters know their markets. Our sportsbook, Nocturn Sport, gives them pre-match and in-play betting with 1X2, totals, both teams to score and Asian handicap, and a bet slip that handles singles and accumulators and shows the potential win before confirmation. Racing fans and followers of local competitions are part of the audience too; tell us what your players follow and we will help you shape the featured events around it.

Basketball, tennis, ice hockey and other major sports complete the board, and esports covers Counter-Strike 2, Dota 2, League of Legends and Valorant. Live events carry the running score, prices move with the match and markets lock rather than accept a stale price. Winning bets settle automatically once the result is confirmed.

Weekend accumulators are a big part of Ethiopian betting, and the bet slip is built for them: players add legs from different matches, see the combined odds and the potential win before they confirm, and the slip can accept a better price automatically if odds improve while the bet is being placed. More on the betting front end is on the sportsbook software page.

Crash games, slots and live tables

Once a player has a bet running on Saturday's football, the casino keeps them busy. The catalog holds more than 40,000 active games:

• Crash and instant games, by far the most natural casino product for a mobile football audience: quick rounds, clear multipliers, small stakes.
• Slots from classic three-reel titles to Megaways and feature-buy games, more than 36,000 in total, with about 16,000 playable in demo mode.
• Live casino with more than 1,400 tables: roulette, blackjack, baccarat and game shows, open at every hour.
• RNG table and card games for players who want the classics at their own pace.

Every title carries a normalized type, so you can put "Football", "Crash" and "Live" at the top of your app with one filter each.

On the betting side, the interface is built for the phone first, with a bottom bar for sports, live events, search, open bets and the slip, and it is translated into 32 languages, sport and market names included.

Seamless wallet integration in ETB

We never touch your players' money. Your platform holds the balance; we send balance requests when a game opens, debits when a bet is placed and credits when it wins. You answer with the new balance and your ledger stays the reference for every birr.

Amounts are integers in minor units, so a 20.00 ETB stake arrives as 2000 santim. Requests are signed, transaction ids let you de-duplicate retries, and rollbacks arrive flagged and are processed like an ordinary debit or credit. Football bets need open-bet handling: a stake placed on Wednesday for a Saturday match is debited on Wednesday and credited on Saturday if it wins, and a losing bet sends no further message.

From approval to a live book

There is nothing to negotiate before your developers start. The documentation is open before you apply, approved accounts receive credentials and test credit on the live API, and there is no sandbox-to-production switch to plan for. With a player wallet in place, your first real ETB round can run on day one. A complete production lobby, sportsbook, crash games, live casino and mobile launches included, typically takes about a week. Our quick integration guide lists each step.

Pricing

No setup fee, no integration fee, no monthly minimum. We take a share of gross gaming revenue: 12% on the sportsbook, from 9% on slots and crash games, and 11% on live casino. It is deducted from a prepaid credit topped up from 100 USD at a time, with USDT accepted. Demo play is never charged. For a football-led Ethiopian brand, that means the sportsbook and the casino sit on one bill, one wallet and one integration. Details are on the pricing page.

A football-first product, end to end

The Ethiopian operators who grow fastest build the whole product around football and let the casino ride along. With one integration, that is straightforward:

1. Open the app on the sportsbook, with the weekend's football and live matches up front.
2. Put crash games right next to the bet slip, so a player waiting for a result has something quick to play.
3. Add live tables and slots further down for players who want a longer session.
4. Use free rounds on supported slots to reward depositors and bring back players who have gone quiet.

Every product in that list runs on the same ETB balance, so there is no transfer screen and no second wallet. Launch URLs take the device type, which means players on modest Android phones get the mobile layout automatically.

Several brands or a turnkey site

Groups running more than one Ethiopian brand can connect each to the same account with separate credentials and callback URLs. Operators without a platform can launch with our white label casino: a branded site with the catalog connected and a progressive web app included, which is how most players in a mobile-first market will meet your brand.
