Imagine hitting a life-changing win in a virtual game, and then, instead of just a credit alert, you’re whisked away on an all-expenses-paid, five-star luxury vacation, complete with red-carpet treatment from the moment you land. This isn’t a fantasy; it’s the exhilarating reality for a select group of record-breaking Aviator winners, thanks to betPawa, Africa’s leading iGaming brand.
In a move that will set a new standard for how gaming companies celebrate their biggest successes, betPawa recently hosted a landmark celebration in Accra, Ghana, to honor its newest Aviator BIG winners from across Africa. Instead of a mere press conference; the company organised a meticulously planned, lavish experience designed to immerse these lucky individuals in the high life they’ve now unlocked.
From the moment they touched down in Accra, the winners were greeted with a small, heartfelt ceremony at the airport, an introduction to the extraordinary trip ahead. They were then ushered into luxurious chauffeur-driven vehicles, setting the tone for a week of unparalleled pampering. Their first taste of indulgence? An exclusive spa massage, a perfect way to unwind and embrace the opulence that awaited them.
The reason for this grand celebration was a historic Aviator round that paid out an astounding ₦1,676,675,000 (equivalent to USD 1,107,573) – the largest group win in a single Aviator round ever recorded in Africa. This monumental win supports betPawa’s claim to offering low minimum stakes with the highest maximum wins, with payouts reaching as high as ₦400 million on each Aviator round.
Spribe, the creators of Aviator, congratulated all the winners of the round and disclosed that the incredible 750,000x multiplier was hit by not just one, but three different players during the same round:
“We’re excited to celebrate a record-breaking milestone for Aviator players across Africa. In a single game round—the highest payout ever recorded in Africa—eight players from countries like Cameroon, Ghana, and Zambia shared an astonishing total win of $1,107,573.
This wasn’t just a lucky streak—it was a truly life-changing moment for many. While the all-time global record for a single-bet win still stands, this historic round perfectly captures the energy, community spirit, and sheer exhilaration that make Aviator a global phenomenon.
Among the celebrated winners was Clovis from Cameroon, whose micro-bets of 150 FCFA (USD 0.26) and 100 FCFA (USD 0.17) transformed into a combined payout of 150,000,000 FCFA (USD 270,000). His multipliers of 500,000x and 750,000x are now legendary in the Aviator community. Godi and Hyacinte, also from Cameroon, each turned a mere 100 FCFA (USD 0.17) into 75,000,000 FCFA (USD 135,000) with a 750,000x multiplier. From Ghana, Prince from Kumasi, staked GH¢6.50 (USD 0.62) and walked away with GH¢2,000,000 (USD 193,079), while Sidney in Zambia turned a modest K6 (USD 0.25) into K3,250,000 (USD 136,110).
At the official press conference, the winners were honored with their oversized cheques and personalized gifts, a tangible representation of their life-changing wins. But the celebration extended far beyond the formal proceedings. The group also embarked on an immersive tour of Accra, exploring its vibrant culture and iconic tourist attractions, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Perhaps the most breathtaking experience was the private jet tour, which took them on a scenic flight to Kumasi and back to Accra. This once-in-a-lifetime aerial adventure offered unparalleled views and an exclusive perspective of Ghana’s stunning landscapes.
Borah Ndanyungu, Head of Local Marketing and CSR at betPawa, encapsulated the brand’s philosophy: “This is a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. We love big winners. In fact, we’re built for them… When our players win BIG, we celebrate even BIGGER.”
This commitment extends beyond mere celebration. betPawa, in partnership with the Gaming Commission of Ghana and financial expert advisors, also rolled out a comprehensive financial empowerment program to help winners turn their lucky breaks into lasting impact through smart investments and future planning, ensuring they “win for life, not just for the weekend.”
Crucially, this support included bespoke financial literacy classes and one-on-one meetings with expert advisors. These personalized sessions equipped the winners with the knowledge and tools to manage their newfound wealth wisely.
The impact of these wins is already transforming lives. One of the fortunate winners, a former miner, expressed his excitement about now being able to “look for smarter investment opportunities,” after engaging with the financial guidance provided. Another winner, a dedicated family man who drove a truck for a living before his win, shared his heartfelt desire to “start a business in the name of his family and children,”
This grand gesture by betPawa not only celebrates the individual successes of its Aviator players but also sets a new benchmark for player engagement and appreciation in the iGaming industry. It transforms a digital win into a tangible, luxurious experience, proving that with betPawa, dreams truly take flight, both in the game and in real life.
