Kampala, Uganda — At a time when the global gaming industry continues to grapple with trust, transparency and transformation, betPawa has once again raised the bar.

The biggest iGaming brand in Africa hosted a landmark celebration in Accra this week to reveal and honour its newest record-breaking Aviator BIG winners from Ghana, Cameroon, and Zambia.

The centrepiece was a historic Aviator round that paid out UGX 3,942,059,000 equivalent to USD 1, 107,573 the largest group win in a single round on Aviator in Africa.

Once again showing betPawa has the lowest minimum stakes and the highest max win as high as UGX 900,000,000 equivalent to $250,000 on each Aviator round in Africa.

As Spribe, Aviator’s creators, put it, “Our analytics confirm that this is the  “largest group win in a single round to date in Africa.”

Among the standout winners was Clovis from Cameroon, who placed two separate micro-bets of 150 FCFA (USD 0.26) and 100 FCFA (USD 0.17), walking away with a combined payout of 150,000,000 FCFA (USD 270,000).

His winning multipliers of 500,000x and 750,000x rank among the highest ever recorded on Aviator in Africa.

Also celebrated from Cameroon, Godi and Hyacinte, who each turned a 100 FCFA (USD 0.17) bet into 75,000,000 FCFA (USD 135,000) with a 750,000 multiplier. Jules placed two identical 100 FCFA bets and earned over 86 million FCFA (USD 155,010.60), with a 430,584.98x multiplier on each bet.

Carlos followed with two 200 FCFA bets that brought him 32,748,396 FCFA (USD 58,947.12), while Mathieu turned just 125 FCFA (USD 0.22) into 14,145,592.50 FCFA (USD 25,431), proving once again that small bets on betPawa can go BIG.

From Ghana, Prince, based in Kumasi, staked GH¢6.50 (USD 0.62) and won GH¢2,000,000 (USD 193,079) with a 307,692.31x multiplier. In Zambia, Sidney placed a modest K6 (USD 0.25) bet and brought home K3,250,000 (USD 136,110) with a 500,000x multiplier.

And while the celebration in Accra stole the spotlight, BIG winners keep popping up across the continent like clockwork. In Uganda a player hit UGX 450,000,000 (USD 121,500) at a 2,250x multiplier.

In Malawi, another player flipped just MWK 481 (28 cents) into over $124,000, another did it with MWK 5,520 ($3.19), and someone else turned a tiny MWK 161 (9 cents!) into $53,000—all with sky-high multipliers and max wins.

This event marks yet another high point in the brand’s growing legacy. In 2023, Fuseini from Kumasi, Ghana, made headlines when he won UGX 1,791,845,000 equivalent to $500,000 USD on Aviator, a single payout that remains the largest ever recorded on the game.

“This is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do,” said Borah

Ndanyungu, Head of Local Marketing and CSR at betPawa. “We love big winners. In fact, we’re built for them. We’ve designed a platform with the lowest minimum stakes and the highest max win of $250,000 on Aviator in Africa and that’s not changing. When our players win BIG, we celebrate even BIGGER.”

betPawa didn’t just celebrate its winners—it gave them the VIP treatment of a lifetime. From chauffeured rides and luxury accommodation to custom-made gifts and business class flights, every detail screamed “you’ve made it.”

But the true showstopper? A once-in-a-lifetime private jet experience soaring over the skies of Ghana But the party wasn’t just about glitz and glamour—betPawa is backing up the BIG wins with BIG support.

In partnership with the Gaming Commission of Ghana and a team of financial expert advisors, the brand is rolling out a financial empowerment program designed to help its BIG winners turn lucky breaks into lasting impact. From smart investments to future planning, betPawa wants its players to win for life, not just for the weekend.

“BIG wins come with BIG responsibilities,” said Borah Ndanyungu, Head of Local Marketing and CSR. “We take player safety seriously.

That’s why our platform is built with smart tools and education that promote responsible gaming. We want everyone to enjoy the game and stay in control.
