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.
