About pawaTech

pawaTech is a business-to-business technology company providing sportsbook and player-management software, operational support and the betPawa brand to independent African licensees. Co-founded by Kresten Buch in 2015, its platform serves 18 African countries. In 2025 it announced co-investment and a four-year Nigeria licensing partnership with Choplife Gaming. Its African services model decentralised following closure of the Kigali central services hub on 20 May 2026. Corporate headquarters is at IFZA Business Park, United Arab Emirates, and the tech headquarters is in Tallinn, Estonia. The African catalog location reflects substantial Nigerian operations through its licensed platform, not corporate headquarters; city is unknown and Lagos State is an inferred SLA default.
