What we do

Investing in the future of sport and technology in Africa.

FRANCHISING

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

One of Mchezo’s roles is to explore new areas of growth and invest into diverse projects – with a focus on sports development and financial inclusion.

SPORTS DEVELOPMENT

Basketball in Rwanda

From Kigali, Mchezo leads Rwandas 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 Childrens 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.

SPORTS DEVELOPMENT

What our partners think

This isnt just about sponsorship; its about creating a transformational change for Rwandan basketball.

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
