betpawa Brand mission

Make betting friendly

We are committed to user-centric design and our priority is giving users a seamless experience. We believe in acting in a responsible manner and do not participate in aggressive marketing, cross-selling, spam notifications and VIPs.
Responsible gaming is at the core of our mission, and we expect all our teams to live that every day. We only partner with operators in regulated markets and we support, where possible, efforts to ensure regulated markets maintain strong regulatory standards and promote responsible gaming practices.

Partners and licence holders

pawaTech doesn’t hold any gaming licenses or customer funds.
We offer a turnkey solution to our local partners and our brand betPawa.
This can also include co-investment with marketing partners and other initiatives to grow the brand.
If you are based in an emerging market, have a gaming licence, potential customer base or see a potential marketing or investment opportunity, please contact our commercial team.

Sports Development

Targeted at local markets
where the brand operates

Sports Development

We like to do things a bit differently at pawaTech and our sports development initiatives mean more than just giving money away.
There is perspective in what we do, focused towards sustainability, empowerment and fostering longer-term change.

Locker Room Bonus

Built with pawaPass, we pay African athletes directly to their wallets based on team performance. This boosts competition in African leagues and improves match data collection.

Our ambition is to bring a minimum of 10,000 athletes to the locker room bonus by 2026.

Share Giveaway

Local ownership and the concept of shares is new to many of our customers, so to solve this we will give 200,000 users shares in the brand.

The solution, built by pawaPass, holds the shares on behalf of our users via their Rwandese Trust, enabling us to give a small amount of shares to many users.
