betPawa has launched its game-changing Locker Room Bonus in Tanzania that will see players in the National Basketball League get rewarded with TSh140,000 each for every match they win.
In a deal signed today in Dar es Salaam by betPawa and the Tanzania Basketball
Federation, 12 players will be rewarded after each victorious match, provided they make the match day squad as well as four technical staff members.
The Locker Room Bonus is a direct benefit to players that seeks to celebrate winners and further reward great performances that betPawa has introduced across multiple African countries and sports.
“We’re delighted to bring our popular player appreciation bonus to Tanzania. This is a key step towards recognising the hard work and dedication of the people who are at the heart of the game, the players,” said betPawa’s Chief Commercial Officer Ntoudi Mouyelo.
The money is paid directly to the players’ mobile money wallets immediately after
winning a match and before the players and staff leave the stadium, hence the term Locker Room Bonus.
In addition to the Locker Room Bonuses which will amount to a total of TSh130 Million, betPawa has committed TSh14 Million to be divided between the best players and winning team at the end of the 2025 season.
As part of the sponsorship the partnership, betPawa became the Official Betting Sponsor of the National Basketball League.
