QwickBirr

This review is for players outside Ethiopia: the Ethiopian Lottery Service suspended the licences of all operators.

Checked 25 August 2026: the site is alive, but the licence printed on it is not. The lobby loaded normally from outside Ethiopia. The footer still claims a National Lottery Administration licence, number ስ/ው/ብሎ/60/2012, that was revoked on 15 December 2025.

Start at the bottom of the page

The most useful thing on QwickBirr is in the footer, where it states that the operator is licensed by the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia National Lottery Administration under licence number ስ/ው/ብሎ/60/2012.

You know what happened to that licence. The Ethiopian Lottery Service suspended twenty-two operators on 4 December 2025 and revoked everything remaining on the fifteenth. That footer has been wrong for eight months.

Here is why a footer is worth three paragraphs. In my old job you learned to read the pages nobody clicks, because they tell you how a company is actually being run. If a licence line has gone eight months without anyone touching it, ask who is watching the cashier, because the cashier is also a page nobody looks at until the morning it stops working.

Getting started, and what you are actually signing up to

An older version of this page described QwickBirr’s “sports betting choices” and told readers to register at www.qwickbet.com. Both were wrong and I am not going to quietly edit them away without saying so. The site is qwickbirr.com, and typing a betting brand into a browser and landing on a domain that is nearly right is exactly how people lose deposits.

This is a casino. Sport is one tab out of thirteen. The tabs across the top read Top Games, Big Win, Providers, Top Ethiopia, Jumbo Win, Crash Games, Instant, Plinko, Sport, Golden Race, New Games, Virtual Sport and Virtual Football. The lobby underneath is a wall of slots: Avrika, Fruit Mania, Fruits and Clovers, 4 Gems, Dollar Fruits, Simba Nyati, Star Fruits, Tajiri Fruits, 27 Wins, Hot Hot Fruit, Avia Masters, Laughing Buddha, Dala Dala, The Emirate, Aviatrix, Safari Simba and Sizzling Blaze.

If you came here to bet on the Ethiopian Premier League, you have walked into the wrong room. That is not a criticism of the product, it is a correction of what this page used to tell you it was.

Four jackpots, all showing nothing

Top left of the lobby sit four jackpot meters, each labelled in ETB. Every one of them read 0 while I was looking at the page. On the right of the same screen: a promotion advertising 225,000 ETB and a challenge offering 6,000,000 ETB across six thousand winning positions.

I cannot tell you why the counters are empty and I am not going to invent a reason. What I will say is that a progressive jackpot displaying zero is not a progressive jackpot, and the distance between what the banners promise and what the meters show is the first thing I would put to their live chat before depositing. If you do ask, tell me what they say and I will add it here.

For comparison, Telebet was showing a populated jackpot counter above 13,500,000 ETB on the same afternoon. It is possible to run these things so they display a real number.

Deposits, withdrawals and the ticker

The cashier is behind registration, so I could not see which payment methods Ethiopian users are offered, what the minimum withdrawal is, or the processing window. That is the question that matters most and I cannot answer it.

What is visible is a ticker in the lower left naming recent withdrawals with the phone numbers partly masked, in amounts mostly between 200 and 3,000 ETB. Understand what that widget is: the operator writes it, and it shows the figures the operator chose. It is not evidence that your withdrawal will clear.

I will give it this much. Small, frequent, awkward amounts are the pattern a working cashier produces. When these things are faked, whoever built them almost always reaches for round four-figure numbers, because they assumed bigger was more convincing. Read it as weak circumstantial evidence and nothing stronger.

Customer support and usability

Credit where it is due, because it is rare in this market. QwickBirr publishes a phone number on +251 907 797 974, an email address at [email protected], and a chat tab pinned to the left edge of every screen. The site states all three run around the clock and carries a 21+ mark.

Three published contact routes puts it ahead of most operators on this site, several of which offer no way to reach anybody at all. I did not test response times, so I cannot tell you whether the phone is answered or whether support works in Amharic.

The lobby itself is fast and loads cleanly, with a cookie notice and a search box. Payment information appears under a Paybill Numbers heading in the right-hand column, alongside an earn-up-to-20,000-ETB referral promotion.

Verdict

Two out of five. It is up, it is reachable from outside Ethiopia, and it publishes real contact details, which together put it ahead of the operators that have gone dark.

It loses most of its points for one thing: it is still advertising a licence that was taken away eight months ago. Everything else on this page, the empty jackpot meters, the gap between the banners and the counters, the wrong domain we published, is downstream of a company that is not maintaining what it tells people about itself.
