Choplife Gaming, a pan-African mobile-first gaming and entertainment company, has secured regulatory approval and licensing from PMU Mali to launch the betting platform, betPawa, in Mali.

The move marks another step in the company’s expansion across regulated African gaming markets as it continues to deepen its presence on the continent through localised technology and partnerships.

With the approval, customers in Mali will gain access to betPawa’s mobile-focused betting and gaming platform, which includes sports betting, instant games, online casino offerings, mobile money payment integrations, and responsible gaming tools.

The company said the platform has been designed specifically for African users, with simplified onboarding, lightweight technology infrastructure, and fast deposits and withdrawals tailored to mobile-first markets.

Commenting on the development, Olu Odeneye, Chief Operations Officer of Choplife Gaming, said the company sees Mali as a strategic growth market.
