Well, as the name explains the problem itself, when I go to Settings > Branches > Protect matching branches, there is no " Require pull request reviews before merging" option, so I can’t make a pull request to require review to be mergeable.

Having the same problem.
Has it been deprecated or am I doing something wrong?
Tried to edit my other post, unfortunately it was created too long and won’t let me, this is a continuation:
There is an option with a similar name: “Require a pull request before merging”, but it doesn’t seem to have the exactly same function and seems to be just an extra step of a pull request rather than requiring a review
Require status checks doesn’t seem to do exactly what I need it to either, is there a status which is meant to replace the former “require review” by automation?
- Upgrading to pro account does not work
- Changing visibility to private does not work
- fetching “protection/required_pull_request_reviews” through the API on:
- protected repo
- unprotected repo
- Both returning 404: Not Found
Not sure what else I can do and following the github documentation
Oh well, I was way too hasty, following learning paths instructions 
Turns out the “Require a pull request review before merging” has been moved to reside inside the “Require a pull request before merging”, so it is now a sub-setting of that one.
In case anyone else runs into this it is found under:
Require a pull request review before merging / Require approvals
