Device Requirements
Check your phone meets these specs before downloading the APK
The Afro Betting Android app runs on a wide range of handsets available across Ethiopia, from sub-3,000 ETB entry-level models to high-end flagships. The minimum supported Android version is 5.0 (Lollipop), a release that still accounts for a significant portion of phones in active use today.
Crash games like Aviator and JetX are lightweight by design, loading quickly on a 1 GB RAM handset over a standard 3G connection. Live dealer tables from Evolution and Pragmatic Play are more bandwidth-intensive - a 4G signal or stable Wi-Fi is the better choice for those titles. The app download is under 40 MB, though you should keep around 100 MB free on your device to allow for game asset caching and updates.
The APK is not listed on Google Play; download it directly from the Afro Betting website. Before installing, open Settings, tap Security or Apps, and turn on 'Unknown sources' or 'Install unknown apps', depending on your Android version. The process takes about a minute.

Step-by-Step APK Download
Get the Afro Betting app on your Android device in under two minutes.
Google Play does not host gambling apps for Ethiopian users, so Afro Betting distributes its Android client as a direct APK file. It weighs under 30 MB and requires Android 6.0 or later. After installation, you get full access to sports betting, live dealer tables from Evolution and Pragmatic Play, and crash titles including Aviator and JetX. Telebirr and CBE Birr deposits typically process in under a minute.
Visit the download page
Open the Afro Betting website in Chrome or any Android browser and tap Download App in the site header.
Tap the APK link
Your browser may flag the file type. Tap 'Download anyway' to continue.
Allow installs from unknown sources
Go to Settings > Apps > Special app access > Install unknown apps, then grant permission to your browser.
Open and install the file
Open your Downloads folder, tap the Afro Betting APK, and hit Install on the confirmation screen.
Log in and fund your account
Sign in or create an account, then add funds through Telebirr, CBE Birr, or Visa to place your first bet.
Unknown Sources Permission
A quick one-time setting that lets Android accept the Afro Betting APK
Android blocks installations from outside the Play Store by default, and that includes any third-party APK like the one from Afro Betting. Your device must be given permission to accept files from external sources before the installer will run. The exact menu location differs slightly between Android versions, but the process takes under a minute either way.
On Android 8 and later, the permission is app-specific rather than a single global switch. Open Settings, locate the browser or file manager you used to download the APK, tap "Install unknown apps", and toggle it on. On Android 7 and below, the option sits in Settings, then Security: find "Unknown sources" and enable it there.
Once the APK is installed, turn the permission back off. This prevents other apps from triggering unintended installs in the background, which is a sensible precaution regardless of what you are installing. Afro Betting holds license NLA/Bet/012/2021 from the National Lottery Administration of Ethiopia, so the app itself comes from a regulated operator, not an unknown publisher.
Installation Troubleshooting
Resolve the most common Android setup errors before contacting support
Most Afro Betting APK installation problems trace back to a device setting rather than the file itself. Android blocks apps from outside the Play Store by default, and low storage or an outdated OS version can also stop the process mid-way.
Afro Betting's live chat, Telegram channel, phone, and email support are available if none of the steps below help.
Allow unknown sources
Open Settings, then Security or Privacy, and switch on 'Install unknown apps' for your browser or file manager. Without this toggle, Android will block the APK before installation starts.
Check free storage
The app requires around 80 MB of free space. Go to Settings > Storage, clear cached data from other apps if needed, then retry the download.
Re-download the APK
A partial or interrupted download corrupts the file. Delete the old APK from your Downloads folder, return to the Afro Betting site, and grab a fresh copy.
Clear app cache
If the app installs but refuses to open, go to Settings > Apps > Afro Betting > Storage and tap Clear Cache, then try launching again.
Android App Features
What the Afro Betting Android app does differently, from local payments to full crash game support.
Fast Launch
The app opens in under two seconds on mid-range Android devices and resumes your last session automatically - Aviator, JetX, or a live Evolution table, exactly where you left off.
Local Payment Support
Deposit via Telebirr or CBE Birr without opening a browser. Crypto options - Bitcoin, USDT, and TRON - settle within minutes, and standard Visa or Mastercard processing works the same as on desktop.
Live Alerts
Push notifications cover pre-match odds shifts, live score changes, and promotional drops. Each category can be toggled off independently; the app saves your settings across sessions.
Full Catalog, No Cuts
Every Pragmatic Play slot, Smartsoft crash title, and Spribe game available on desktop runs at the same RTP in the app. Lightning Roulette from Evolution streams at full HD over a standard 4G connection.
In-App Support
Live chat and Telegram are accessible from inside the app, so you never have to leave a session to raise a query. Phone and email remain available for less urgent issues.
Regulated Operation
Afro Betting operates under license NLA/Bet/012/2021 from the National Lottery Administration of Ethiopia. That license covers all bets and transactions placed through the Android app.
