Nanovas International (K) Ltd, trading as betPawa, offered a Sh. 20 million jackpot in 2019 through its sports betting platform. The promotion required users to correctly predict 17 pre-selected football matches with a minimum stake of Sh. 10.
The licensed operator, registered under Betting Control and Licensing Board license BK0000028, provided alternative prizes for participants who correctly predicted 13 matches. Users could select outcomes via a structured coupon system, with options to cover uncertain matches through multiple selections or the 'Lucky Dip' feature generating random predictions.
Settlement rules specified that match results were determined by regular-time outcomes, excluding extra time and penalty shootouts. Postponed matches had protocols for resolution, with abandoned games using adjacent matches on the ticket for determination. Venue changes only voided bets if the new location became the original away team's home ground.
Winnings were processed after all scheduled matches concluded. The company operated across East Africa, with headquarters in Kenya and regional presence in Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Ghana, and Nigeria, as reported in 2019.
