What we do
Investing in the future of
sport and technology in Africa.
We licence the betPawa brand
Mchezo partners with local franchisees that are regulated and licensed to conduct online gaming. Mchezo works to expand the betPawa brand into new territories alongside partners committed to good governance and business practices
Reinvesting beyond the brand
Basketball in Rwanda
From Kigali, Mchezo leads Rwanda's basketball transformation as sponsors of FERWABA, as well as our partnership with Giants of Africa, amplifying our mission: nurturing talent, empowering youth and spotlighting Rwanda globally.
Grassroots tournaments
These include a Kenya-wide 6-a-side cup and the Tennis Rwanda Children's Foundation tournament.
Supporting football federations
Mchezo, via betPawa, has initiated game-changing partnerships in Uganda and Ghana with national football federations FUFA and the GFA, aimed at impacting all levels of the sport.
Locker Room Bonus for players
Our flagship initiative – the Locker Room Bonus – was designed to elevate competitiveness in sports by directly and instantly rewarding players after they win a game through mobile-money payments.
Building pitches
These investments last and keep giving value after a season ends, defining the Mchezo way.
What our partners think
This isn't just about sponsorship; it's about creating a transformational change for Rwandan basketball.
Desire Mugwiza
FERWABA President
This partnership marks a pivotal moment for Ugandan football. It is more than just financial support; it is a firm pledge to the future of our beloved sport, a promise to double down on our shared vision for progress.
Moses Hassim Magogo
FUFA President
betPawa’s sponsorship of the Ghana Premier League can be classified as the best in the past years due to its innovation of incentivising the players who are the main products of the league
