The Betway Group has announced the launch of its Ghana-licensed betting website overseen by the Ghana Gaming Commission and sporting a .gh domain.
Betway joins 15 other gambling operators licensed in the African nation, where a growing number of gamblers now have the convenience of access to gambling facilities via the internet and – notably – smartphones.
Betting on football is particularly popular in Ghana, but sports betting in general is followed with enthusiasm and has overtaken traditional lottery options in the country. Online and mobile casino games are also gradually attracting more players.
Whilst retail betting shops still dominate the local betting scene, the increased availability of smartphones and tablets is giving punters the choice of convenience and speed, and could in the future tip the balance.
