Sportsbook review

The    betPawa website is very unique and attractive to the eyes. Their template is dominated by Green, white and black template that is easy to use.

The betPawa website is simple to use based on it’s organization and easy-to-access shortcuts.

The left side of the layout summarises almost all the market I one column. There’s the option for live events where you can click on it and find out the markets that are currently on going and the offers. In case no games are live at that moment, the LIVE NOW button will open in the middle of the page showing the games that are about to start and scheduled for pre-match and live betting.

The live betting offers different markets basing on the sports and leagues.

There’s the UPCOMING tab below LIVE NOW for the same purpose.

The panel also carries the links to the virtual sports, the Jackpot, the Pawa6 competition, Games and shows the most popular bets to aid a punter’s decision-making.

The most favourite football leagues are arranged in descending order to the least followed based on the statistics and algorithms. A customer can click in any of the leagues to open his preferred market. Every tab on the left panel once clicked will open its window in the larger middle panel of the layout.

There’s a banner in the middle but top of the home page that advertises the available offers in the sports book and games.

The left side shows the available balance and has options for depositing, withdrawals, transaction history, active and settled bets, profile account and a button guiding to the customer care services.

Despite their limited range of sports available for betting, betPawa Uganda brings a variety of football matches from all over the world across all the continents. They cover that with a unique from other bookmakers like Gals and Ababet with the progressive bonus scheme that rises from three percent (3%) for three selections in tickets with to 500% for a bet with 45 selections.

betPawa Uganda offers bets for only three sports; football, tennis and basketball. They offer live bets for all the three categories.

However, they have limited offers on combos compared to other betting sites in Uganda offering a customer only two options: direct prediction (1X2) and goals or direct prediction and both teams to score.

Additionally, betPawa Uganda offers the Half Time/Full Time varieties in its market as well corner counts and bookings. The latter is limited, however to the Over/Under 4.5 limit but opens up during the live score.

The playbook also provides a well-summarized statistics platform showing previous records and current statistics during the in-play options.

Virtual Sports

betPawa’s virtual sports brings an extra-layer of excitement and fun. You don’t have to wait for the big games over the weekdays or for 90 minutes-full games to play for fun. The virtual sports is a fantasy competition for lovers of the top European football leagues. The tournaments borrows from the league style with all the teams involved in those leagues represented with their initials to add the thrill to the fantasy game. There are seven leagues namely the English, Spanish, Italian, German, French, Dutch, and Portuguese with each comprising exactly the same number as the respective leagues in reality.

Players are offered about 66 games from the respective tournaments every five minutes. The markets available are for full time results (1X2), over/under, both teams to score, double chance and half time/full time.

betPawa even goes ahead to offer up to 500% win bonus.

Pawa6

Another unique product on betPawa’s markets is the weekly Pawa6 competition. The Pawa6 is a free competition where punters test their prediction chances by predicting the scores of six selected games per week.

The sportsbook picks six games from thousands of matches to be played over a weekend and offers the punters a chance to predict and win for free. Every customer has a one chance to try his luck every other week. You can play this week’s Pawa6 here: BETPAWA PAWA6

So, what’s in it? The Pawa6 is another cash bonanza. The top player from each round walks home with a cool shs.5, 000,000 while the runners-up receive shs.2, 000,000 and shs.750, 000 respectively. The prizes go down for all the best ten thousand (10,000) players as well. They are divided as follows;

• 2: USHS.2,000,000
• 3: USHS.750,000

• 11-25: USHS.100,000 each
• 26-100: USHS.25,000 each
• 101-1000: USHS.5,000 each
• 1000-5000: USHS.3,000 each
• 5001-10000: USHS.1,500 each

Juicy jackpots

Do you fancy the big bets, betPawa has you covered with their mega jackpots. Make your predictions from a selection of 17 games and win big. With this one, I can confirm that the bookie has lived to its mantra “bet small, win big!” because the stakes are as low as shs.100!

What’s even more interesting is that a player is allowed to make more than one ticket.

You can try your luck by going for the main prize by predicting all the 17 games in the Pick17 or thirteen in the Pick13.

To win the ultimate prize of shs.200, 000,000, you must predict all the 17 outcomes correctly. But that doesn’t mean that if you fail a few you’re doomed because betPawa has prizes for anyone who makes at least 13 correct picks.

If you go for the Pick13, which has a jackpot of shs.10, 000,000, then at least ten correct ones will land you some prizes.

What is even more interesting is that the bookie may decide to make a rollover in that if there’s no winner, the prizes might be carried forward and offered again.

Casino

 betPawa is mostly known for its well-organised and competitive sportsbook but the Casino offers quite a number for a new customer to try out.

The casino has about 350 games from Crash, Mystery Drop, slots, tables and cards from tens of providers very compatible with mobile phones and certified to ensure fairness.

Aviator

 This Spribe–poweredcreation is the most popular game inside betPawa’s casino. This massive game of flights that tests the reaction speed and decision-making of a player is massive and fun to play. To play, you only need to place your stake before the place takes off and cash-out before it disappears.

What makes it even sweeter at betPawa is that you can place as low as shs.1 for each bet. Now that is cause for fun because with shs.1, 000, a new player will try to master the art with a thousand games to practice. Experienced players are allowed to bet up to shs.28, 000. The game is based on cryptographic technology known as Provably Fair which guarantees full fairness of the result. The multiplier is not generated by a round of players and not the Spribe’s gaming servers reducing any chance of manipulation.

 However, there’s no guarantee that you will win always, so responsible gambling is recommended.

Aviator is not the only game of flights available at betPawa, the casino also has JetX, Pilot developed by Gamzix, F777 Fighter, Aero and others.

 Secure

betPawa is a big industry player in Uganda. The company has operated for over seven years and is licensed and regulated by the National Gaming and Lotteries board under the Government of Uganda’s laws. This means that it is secure and any complaints have a legal process that can be followed.

This is also why the company uses the top telecommunication company Airtel and MTN to handle their transactions via their mobile money systems. The two telecos follow a strict registration procedure and do not allow customers to transact without a sim card registered under the prevailing laws of Uganda.

Quick customer support

betPawa has one of the best customer care services in the market. Simple fast and reliable.

The bookie doesn’t have a live chat option on site but the equivalents are more than sufficient to cover-up. Their FACEBOOK inbox is quite slow but the TELEGRAM is always armed with an agent to reply to texts with enough information to sort your issues. However, the best of them all is the CALL ME option where a customer requests for a call from the agents. Normally, the agent calls back within a minute to help you. To be honest, my requests have taken a maximum of ten seconds to be honored in my most preferred local language and English!

betPawa vs Gals/22bet

• betPawa’s elastic payout is quite exciting and interesting for ambitious punters. While Gals Sports Betting, truly their main competition in the country has theirs set at shs.505, 000,000 and 22bet capped at almost half that prize, betPawa has blown off the ceiling to dare the devils in these streets.
• Their payout is not the only limitless feature. The shs.100 jackpot is another that plays the retainer role to keep the customers trying their luck for that big pay without dipping into their pockets. 22bet offers no jackpot but Gals Sports Betting has almost a similar one but at a little fee of shs.2,000.
• The only difference is while betPawa’s jackpot weighs shs. 200, 000,000, Gals’ version is 50% heavier at shs.300, 000,000.
• Talking offers, it is hard to understand that while most of their top competitors offer 100% welcome bonus, betPawa has nothing in their hands to shake the visitor.
• Their site also lacks in terms of bonuses but the only one standing is quite lures one into trying it. The bookie offers a progressive bonus on tickets with five or more selections to up to 500% bonus.
• The bookie allows only the mobile money option as their way of depositing and withdrawing money which somehow disadvantages them against a big continental player like 22bet but the mere fact that the biggest population of Ugandans are more connected to the mobile wallet than banking options and cryptocurrency exonerates them from any crime.
• Their casino is not well-endowed especially with the live-dealers in the live-casino but we can say that what they offer is at the most competitive rates. For example, at only shs.1, you can stake on their Aviator game. That is the lowest stake in the country! It makes it fun and worthwhile because a punter can play as many as 100 games without making a big loss.
• This also encourages responsible gambling and borders well with those who advocate for ‘betting for fun’.
• But when matters get out of hand, the company offers help to individuals who believe their betting patterns have changed to the worst. You can click HERE OR THE PHOTO BELOW IF YOU FEEL that you also need help.
