Key Details:
Mobile Money (MTN, Vodafone Cash, AirtelTigo):
Dominance: Accounts for ~80% of betting transactions in Ghana due to mobile penetration (over 40M subscriptions in 2025).
Limits: Low minimums (1 GHS deposit) suit small bettors; withdrawals start at 5 GHS.
Process: Deposits via USSD codes (e.g., *170# for MTN); instant crediting; withdrawals processed within 24 hours by most licensed sites.
Operators: Supported by Betway, Premier Bet, 888bets, etc.
Card Payments (Visa, Mastercard):
Availability: Offered by international platforms; linked to local banks (e.g., Ecobank, GCB Bank).
Limits: Higher entry (5 GHS) than mobile money; withdrawals take longer (2-5 days).
Fees: Banks may charge 1-2% for conversions or processing.
Bank Transfers:
Use: Via major banks like Ghana Commercial Bank (GCB) or Zenith Bank.
Speed: Slowest option (up to 7 days for withdrawals); preferred for large transactions.
Cost: Varies by bank (1-3%); not ideal for frequent betting.
E-Wallets (Skrill, Neteller):
Profile: Used on global sites; minimums in USD (~10 GHS) with conversion fees.
Advantage: Fast withdrawals (1-24h); privacy-focused.
Drawback: Less popular due to GHS-to-USD/EUR conversion.
Cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum):
Trend: Rising use (5-10% of transactions in 2025); supported by 1xBet, Melbet.
Exact years are provided where known (e.g., Betway – 2006, 1xBet – 2007, Bet365 – 2000).
Estimated years (e.g., Sportbet – 2015) are based on market entry trends in Africa when precise data is unavailable.
License:
GCG (Gaming Commission of Ghana): Local license required for full compliance in Ghana (e.g., Betway, Sportybet, Soccabet).
Curaçao: Common offshore license for international operators (e.g., 22Bet, 1xBet, Melbet); widely accepted but not locally regulated.
Other: Bet365 holds a UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) license alongside GCG; Dafabet operates under PAGCOR in addition to Curaçao.
Legality in Ghana:
All listed sites are legal for Ghanaian users under the Gaming Act of 2006, either via GCG licenses or offshore jurisdictions recognized for online betting.
Locally licensed sites (e.g., Betway, Betboro, Betpawa) comply directly with GCG regulations, including tax obligations (10% on winnings since 2023).
Offshore-licensed sites (e.g., 1xBet, Megapari) operate legally in Ghana as they accept players without local restrictions, though they fall into a regulatory gray area regarding taxation enforcement.
