Parliamentary Investment Committee Visits betPawa Tanzania to See Licensed Online Gaming in Action
Choplife Gaming Limited hosts Members of Parliament on a familiarisation visit to its Dar es Salaam operations.
DAR ES SALAAM—Choplife Gaming Limited, the licensed operator of the betPawa brand in Tanzania, has hosted Members of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Investments (PIC) for an official familiarisation visit to its operations in Dar es Salaam.
The visit, led by Committee Chairperson Hon. Ojambi Masaburi, formed part of the Committee’s official tour of the Gaming Board of Tanzania (GBT) on Saturday, 7 November 2026, during which the Members also visited selected licensed gaming operators to see first-hand how the sector is run and regulated. The delegation was accompanied by officials from the Gaming Board of Tanzania.
The members were received by Choplife Gaming’s Country Director, Loyce Oluoch, and the betPawa Tanzania management team, who took the delegation through how the company’s online gaming operations work day to day, from customer registration and age verification to mobile money payments, regulatory reporting to GBT, tax compliance, and the responsible gaming measures built into the platform.
The members also met the local team and had the opportunity to ask questions about the business and its contribution to the economy.

Speaking during the visit, Ms. Oluoch said: “We were honoured to welcome the Honourable Members of the Parliamentary Investment Committee to betPawa Tanzania. Visits like this matter because they allow lawmakers to see for themselves how a licensed, locally regulated operator works, how we protect our customers, how we account for every shilling, and how we contribute to government revenue and local jobs.
“We share the Committee’s view that the growth of this sector must go hand in hand with strong regulation and the protection of young people under 18, and we will continue to work closely with the Gaming Board of Tanzania to make sure that is always the case.”
Choplife Gaming remains committed to operating betPawa in Tanzania in full compliance with the Gaming Act and GBT regulations, to restricting its services strictly to adults aged 18 and above, and to promoting responsible play among its customers. Beyond its core business, betPawa continues to invest in Tanzanian communities and sport, including its long-standing support for basketball development in the country.
