Betting in Ghana: what we check, and when.
The Gaming Commission publishes five columns for each licensed operator: trade name, operation type, date issued, expiry date, location. We publish all 86 entries as printed, including the operators we do not cover, and we mark every value with the day we read it.
Operators we cover
12 of 69 licence holders · 57 listed but not reviewed
7 operators print several licence numbers on their own site without saying which class each covers. The register publishes no numbers, so none of them can be checked there: we show how many each operator declares, and nothing more.

The links marked paid link earn us a commission. They appear on these 12 operators only, never inside the register, and never change a transcribed field, a status or the order of any table.
Frequently asked questions
Is sports betting legal in Ghana?
Yes. Sports betting is regulated by the Gaming Commission of Ghana. Licensed operators can legally accept bets from Ghanaian residents aged 18 and over.
Can I bet on Hearts of Oak vs Asante Kotoko?
The Super Clash between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko is the biggest fixture in Ghanaian football. We do not publish which operators price it, or at what odds, unless we have checked it ourselves and recorded the date.
How can I check an operator is really licensed in Ghana?
The Gaming Commission of Ghana publishes a register of licensed operators. We transcribe the sports-betting entries in full at /gh/licensed-operators/, with the date we last checked it, so you can compare any site against the source yourself.

What this site does not do
- No ratings out of ten, no trust badges we issued ourselves, no “top 10” order that money can move.
- No licence number presented as register data. The register publishes none; the numbers operators show are their own claim.
- No figure without the day we read it. A value we could not source reads
Not disclosed. - No claim of a field test we have not run. Desk verification says so on its face.
