Online betting in Ethiopia has been growing steadily, and international platforms continue to compete for the attention of local punters. Megapari, one of the globally recognized sportsbooks that entered the market back in 2019, remains a popular choice. But with shifting regulations and occasional access issues across Africa, many Ethiopian bettors have one pressing question: can they still download and use the Megapari app?
Megapari’s Current Status in Ethiopia
As of October 2026, the Megapari app is fully accessible to Ethiopian users. The platform continues to operate in the country under its international license issued by the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of Comoros. While Megapari does not hold a locally issued Ethiopian betting license, it accepts registrations from the country and actively caters to Ethiopian bettors with localized payment options and region-specific promotions.
Ethiopian users can access the full range of Megapari’s features, including pre-match and live betting across more than 30 sports, live streaming, match statistics, and an extensive casino section.
How to Download the Megapari App
The download process differs slightly depending on which device you use.
Android
The Megapari APK is not listed on the Google Play Store, which is standard practice for most international betting apps. To install it, users need to visit the official Megapari website through their mobile browser, locate the app download section — usually found in the top navigation or the site footer — and tap the download button. Once the APK file is saved, it can be installed manually by enabling installations from unknown sources in the device settings. The entire process takes just a few minutes.
iOS
The Megapari app is available for iPhone and iPad users. Depending on availability in your region’s App Store, you may be redirected through TestFlight or asked to install a PWA (Progressive Web App) version directly from the Safari browser. Both methods provide the same core functionality as the Android app.
Payment Methods for Ethiopian Users
One of the strongest aspects of Megapari’s service in Ethiopia is its support for local payment solutions. Ethiopian bettors can deposit and withdraw funds using Telebirr, E-Birr, CBEbirr, Awash Bank, and M-Pesa. These integrations eliminate the need for international cards or e-wallets, which makes the platform far more accessible to the average user.
Features Available Through the App
The Megapari mobile app mirrors the desktop experience almost entirely. Users can expect a clean interface optimized for smaller screens, push notifications for promotions and results, and seamless navigation between the sportsbook and casino sections. The live betting module performs well even on slower mobile networks, and the built-in live streaming feature covers a wide selection of football, basketball, tennis, cricket, and esports events.
New users who register through the app can also take advantage of the welcome bonus package, which offers up to 31,200 ETB across the first deposits — one of the more competitive welcome offers available to Ethiopian bettors.
Things to Keep in Mind
While the app works without issues in Ethiopia, a few points deserve attention. Since Megapari operates under an offshore Anjouan license rather than a domestic one, any disputes would need to be resolved through the operator’s international channels rather than through a local regulatory body. Users should also ensure they always download the APK from the official Megapari website to avoid tampered files from third-party sources.
Additionally, the Android app does not update automatically. When a new version is released, users typically receive a prompt within the app directing them to download the update manually from the website.
Final Verdict
The Megapari app remains fully available and functional for Ethiopian users in 2026. With strong local payment support, a generous welcome package, and a mobile experience that keeps pace with the desktop version, it continues to be a viable option for bettors across the country. As with any international platform, staying informed about local regulations and practicing responsible betting habits is always advisable.
