AbaBet Review

Ababet’s sponsorship of the former vibrant Uganda Premier League side Onduparaka shot them into the limelight. The website is one of the oldest in the country with a strong local presence, but while it is a quick, easy-to-navigate platform, it has several shortcomings, including the absence of a welcome bonus.

Nevertheless, there is something for everyone, especially newcomers who want something not very complicated.

Topbets Uganda brings you a review of the website, a guide on how to register, withdraw, and deposit, and everything you need to know.

How to register on Ababet

Now that we’re done with the introduction, let’s get right to the registration process to help you create your new account and start making money.

Head straight to the Ababet homepage on this link: https://www.ababet.ug/.

Click on the Register button in the top-right corner of your screen to open the registration form.

Once the form opens, you will be required to fill in your personal information. This includes your official name, email, date of birth, a registered phone number and state whether you’re a male or female.

Then enter your nationality. Here, select Uganda if you’re a local, then enter your National Identification Number, district, and set your preferred password.

Complete the registration by clicking on Register. Once you click the button, you will see that the provided details are correct and can be used to verify your identity, if necessary.

The form appears as follows.

How to recover a forgotten password

If you forget your password, do not worry. Log in to the home page and simply click on Forgotten Password below the registration tab. A form will appear for you to enter the mobile number registered to that account. Click Reset to receive a code that will help you log back in.

Always remember to change your password regularly for safety. Go to the main page and click on “Change Password ” in the right-hand menu. You will be required to enter your old password, then the new one, and confirm.

How to deposit on Ababet

Once registration is complete, your account will be opened instantly and ready for you to place your bets. But to do this, you have to deposit some funds into your bankroll.

Ababet has only two options for depositing money to your account: Airtel and MTN Mobile Money. Click “Deposit Now” in the top-right menu, and your registered telecom subscriber and number will appear. Enter the amount and click deposit.

For Airtel Money, follow these instructions for the second method;

• Go to the Airtel Money menu on your phone by dialling *185*60#.
• Then select ‘Deposit’ in option 2.
• Enter the amount you wish to deposit.
• Enter your PIN to complete the transaction.
• Wait a few seconds for the money to load into your account.

For MTN Mobile Money, do these;

• Go to the MTN Mobile Money menu by dialling *165#.
• Select ‘Payments’ in option 4.
• Select ‘Goods and services’ in option 4
• Enter Ababet’s Merchant code: QP.
• Enter BET as the reference.
• Enter the amount you want to deposit.
• Enter your Mobile Money PIN to confirm the transaction.

How to withdraw on Ababet

Just as easy as depositing, withdrawing your winnings is easy. Ababet offers three options for withdrawing your money.

You can withdraw your winnings using one of the following methods:

Direct withdrawal – this is the quickest. Go to your homepage and click the Withdraw button found on the top-right corner menu, or click HERE.

A form will appear with your mobile number and a field to enter the amount you want to withdraw. Enter the amount and click withdraw.

Note that the minimum amount is UGX 2,000, and ABabet sets a daily limit of UGX 1,000,000.

Option 2 USSD withdrawal

• On your phone, dial *185*60# on Airtel.
• Select Withdraw from the drop-down alphabet menu.
• Enter the withdrawal amount, then complete the process with your password.

Option 3 SMS withdrawal

To withdraw via SMS, type GET followed by the amount, then send it to 6969. Remember that this option is at a fee charged by your subscriber. The money will be deposited into your phone number.

Security

Despite its many shortcomings in the sportsbook, Ababet meets the requirements for safety and reliability. Ababet holds a license from the National Lotteries and Gaming Board, which regulates betting activities in the country.

The platform uses registered mobile phone numbers to open and run accounts, which improves account security because SIM cards are registered to national identification cards in Uganda. You can trust that your accounts, personal details, and money will be safe under Ugandan law.

AbaBet Sportsbook review

AbaBet’s interface is clean and efficient. It is not crowded, therefore making it easy to navigate. Users can find football matches and betting markets without getting confused.

The website is structured so that everything is easily accessible. The left section contains the main betting categories, including live betting, pre-match games, and e-football.

The central part features selected matches and quick-pick predictions for fast betting, while the right side displays the profile and user account dashboard, including total winnings, bonus points, transaction history, withdrawal options, and a logout option. This organised layout ensures that both new and experienced punters can navigate the platform efficiently, even if they have no prior experience with online betting sites.

On the homepage, players can quickly find the main betting markets. These include betting, pre-match events, and e-sports such as e-football. This layout makes it easy for people to move between sections. They can find fixtures or in-play opportunities.

AbaBet has a selection of football betting options that include the following;

• Results for the half-second half and full time
• Total goals markets from 0 to 5 goals
• Goals scored per half and total match goals.
• Double chance and draw-no-bet options
• Half with the most goals
• Correct score predictions
• Odd or even number of goals
• Extra time betting is used when needed.
• Both Teams to Score

AbaBet has an esports section, especially for e-football. This section is not always active. When we visited, there were no events available. This makes the main football offering more reliable.

The leagues covered in Ababet’s sportsbook appear on the left side of the interface. The website focuses on major football competitions from around the world. Players can find betting markets for top-tier tournaments such as:

•        UEFA Champions League

•        UEFA Europa League

•        English Premier League

•        German Bundesliga

•        La Liga

•        Serie A

•        Ligue 1

•        Eredivisie

This ensures that punters have access to some of the most popular football matches globally, even though the platform does not extend much beyond this sport.

Live Betting

AbaBet offers live betting, though the selection is somewhat limited. Punters can place bets on ongoing matches, but many of the pre-match markets tend to disappear once games kick off. This reduces the variety of options available during live play.

Despite these limitations, the platform includes a helpful feature on the homepage that displays popular matches alongside quick predictions. This allows users who are short on time to simply select suggested outcomes and place bets instantly.

Free bets

As noted earlier, ABabet means bonuses and offers, but not entirely. ABabet offers Free bets for their regular customers. These free bets give you points that you can bet with and win some money on the sportsbook. Here, the more you bet, the greater your chances of earning more, but to redeem them, you have to click the “Redeem Free Bet Points” button in the menu. The button only appears if you have earned some free bets.

Ababet Customer Care

AbaBet has a local, functional customer support system. However, it is not as good as those of other big betting platforms in Uganda due to the lack of a live chat feature. This is usually how users get help instantly.

They do provide phone and email support for users to call for help. Airtel users can use 0200307200, and MTN users can use this: 0323002470. These lines are usually available during working hours until about 9 pm, though you have to use your airtime, which is inconvenient for small bettors.

Another issue with the site is that the customer service team does not follow up with users when their calls go out of airtime, which can be very frustrating for users who need help away from home.

Users can also email support@ababet.com, though responses can take a long time.

Comparison with Gals & betPawa

AbaBet lacks many features found on other platforms, which has reduced its popularity in Uganda.

The unique section they have is the e-sports, though it is not always available and has limited events.

Unlike Gals Sports Betting and betPawa, Ababet does not have a casino section, which is a major problem for users who prefer to play games other than sports betting. AbaBet primarily focuses on football and offers limited betting on other sports.

In football betting, AbaBet is not as good as other platforms because of limited market options and smaller odds, and it does not have an app. Many users prefer apps because they’re convenient and easy to use. Generally, the website falls short and needs to improve the experience.
