Online sports betting Ghana brands ranked for 2026
Online sports betting Ghana brands carrying a Gaming Commission entry lead the ranking, foreign-licensed brands open to cedi sign-ups follow, and the coin bookmakers end it. The order is the site's partner order.
Each row gives the licence as the 2026 register has it, the welcome as published, the deposit floor and the rollover.
1win
At 1win the welcome is staged across the first four deposits at rising rates, 100% to 150%, plus free spins. It unlocks through casino play alone, in the Bonus Wagering games, and a cedi slip on the GPL contributes nothing. There is no Gaming Commission number, and the app is Android only.
22Bet
22Bet's Gaming Commission entry is Lantini Limited, GCSB26R31970; GH₵12 unlocks a 100% match capped at GH₵750. The bonus clears five turnovers at 1.40 or better on tickets with at least three legs, within 7 days. The 2026 register lists the licence for sports betting, and the brand publishes Android and iOS apps.
BetWinner
BetWinner is on the register as Inter Omega Limited (GCSB26Y4779U); a GH₵12 deposit earns 200%, ceiling GH₵2,500. Half clears under the 5x three-leg rule, the other half 30 times in Win Games, both within 30 days. The register covers sports and online casino; apps cover Android and iOS.
Melbet
Melbet holds GCSB25J8590V through Otrada Limited and advertises 100% to 300% up to GH₵2,100, the higher rate tied to a promo code. The Ghana licence covers sports betting only. Apps exist for both platforms; the cedi rollover is unpublished.
1xBet
1xBet, registered as Clickwell Ghana Limited under GCSB26F1615T, carries the ranking's largest cedi cap: 200% to 300% to GH₵5,500. The register covers sports and online casino. Android and iOS apps are published; the rollover sits behind the promo-code terms.
Paripesa
Paripesa, on an offshore licence, has the ranking's lowest floor: GH₵8 opens a 100% match to GH₵1,700. Rollover follows the 5x rule within 30 days, and apps cover both platforms.
888starz
888Starz runs under a Curaçao licence and pairs a 200% sports welcome capped at GH₵1,300 with a 200% casino offer and 150 free spins. The sports bonus needs 10 turnovers within 7 days from a GH₵13 deposit, the heaviest rollover of the cedi offers.
Linebet
Linebet operates under a Curaçao licence and credits 100% up to the cedi value of €100 on the first deposit. Android and iOS apps are published; the cedi rollover is unpublished, so the headline is the only confirmed figure.
BC.Game
18+ only. Betting carries risk; stake what you can afford to lose. Terms apply at the bookmaker.
A first account on a MoMo wallet is simplest with 22Bet or BetWinner, both on the register with the same twelve-cedi floor and a published rollover. 1xBet's cap is the largest, GH₵5,500, with the top rate tied to a promo code whose terms come before the first deposit.
- Lowest first deposit for the welcome offer
- Paripesa: GH₵8
- Lightest rollover on the sports bonus
- BetWinner, Paripesa and 22Bet: 5x
- Longest time to clear the bonus
- Paripesa and BetWinner: 30 days
- Highest bonus cap
- BetWinner: GH₵2,500
- Local licence on the register
- BetWinner, Melbet, 1xBet, BC.Game and 22Bet
- iPhone app
- Linebet, 22Bet, BetWinner, Melbet, 1xBet and Paripesa
Welcome offers in cedis and what they cost to clear
Welcome offers in cedis run from 100% to 300% of the first deposit, and the rollover attached decides whether the bonus turns into a withdrawal. 22Bet and Paripesa ask 5 turnovers of three-leg accas at 1.40.
BetWinner attaches that rule to half its bonus and 30 turnovers in Win Games to the remainder. 888Starz asks for 10 turnovers.

Take 22Bet as the worked case. A GH₵250 first deposit brings GH₵250 in bonus. Five turnovers on GH₵250 means GH₵1,250 of settled three-leg multiples at 1.40 and up, within 7 days. That is fifty GH₵25 accas in a week, a daily habit.
BetWinner on the same deposit creates GH₵500 in bonus. Half clears after GH₵1,250 in accas; the other half after GH₵7,500 in Win Games stakes, both within 30 days. The casino half pays only someone already in that lobby.
Pick the 22Bet or Paripesa terms if you book accas most days; pick 1xBet's cap only after reading its promo-code rollover; skip the bonus altogether and compare prices if you book two slips a weekend.
Betting companies in Ghana on the Gaming Commission register
Betting companies in Ghana are listed by the Gaming Commission under their company name with a GCSB licence number and the activity the licence covers. The 2026 register is the one to check today. The ranked brands with entries are 22Bet as Lantini Limited, BetWinner as Inter Omega Limited, Melbet as Otrada Limited and 1xBet as Clickwell Ghana Limited.
BC.Game joined the 2026 register as well, and the licence number appears on the Commission's page rather than in the brand's footer.
The 22Bet and Melbet licences cover sports betting, while BetWinner and 1xBet are also licensed for online casino.

The Ghanaian brands in the table are unlinked and exist for checking a licence. The register is a yearly document, so a company that renewed late can be missing for a few weeks; the Commission's own page is the source to trust over a brand's footer badge.
A registered brand is worth more as stakes grow: the Commission hears disputes with licensees, and a foreign brand answers to no Ghanaian body.
Football betting on the GPL, the Black Stars and the Premier League
Football betting is where Ghanaian punters put most of their money. On an ordinary weekend the Champions League, La Liga and England's top flight draw more cedi stakes than the Ghana Premier League. Black Stars qualifiers and AFCON matches flip that for a night.
Ghana's standard slip is an acca of 1X2, double chance, over or under 2.5 and both teams to score. Every published sports rollover in the ranking counts three-leg accas at 1.40 or better and nothing else. Booking codes let a slip travel between phones inside the same bookmaker.
The board next to the ranking holds GPL fixtures with the best 1X2 price at the ranked books, and the second tab holds recent results. Boxing draws a steady following too, and the Gaming Commission licensees price the major cards alongside football.
For a two-slip weekend the board price chooses the brand: 1.95 in place of 1.85 on three legs lifts the return 17%, something no welcome offer repeats weekly.
Short code for betting in Ghana and how MoMo deposits work
Short code betting in Ghana means dialling a brand's USSD menu on a feature phone. Betika publishes *263# and Betway publishes *711*1795#, each opening that bookmaker's menu on an MTN line. The ranked brands run through apps and mobile sites, and their cashier is the MoMo prompt.
A MoMo deposit at any licensee takes three moves: AT Money, Telecel Cash or MTN MoMo picked in the cashier, the amount, the PIN on the prompt. The money lands in seconds. Once the Ghana Card check is through (standard since a Bank of Ghana notice in November 2025), the payout returns to the same wallet number.
Deposit floors in the ranking start below GH₵10 at Paripesa. The coin bookmakers pay in Bitcoin and USDT, price in dollars and have no entry on the register.

18+ only. Betting carries risk; stake what you can afford to lose. Terms apply at the bookmaker.
Keep the MoMo number on the account the same as the one you deposit from, so the withdrawal passes the name check first time. The betting apps page compares the Android and iOS downloads, the Aviator page covers the crash game on the casino-licensed brands, and the online casino page covers slots and live tables.
Is betting legal in Ghana?
The Gaming Act 2006 (Act 721) lets Ghanaians bet from 18. Section 13 restricts licences to limited liability companies registered in Ghana. The Gaming Commission of Ghana issues the licences, publishes the yearly register, sets advertising guidelines and handles complaints against licensees.
Identity verification tied to the Ghana Card entered the Commission's 2025 licence requirements, so a licensed brand asks for the card before the first withdrawal. Offshore brands sign Ghanaians up under Curaçao or similar licences, outside this system.
For a punter the test is the register: a company name with a GCSB number can be held to the Act; a footer badge without one cannot.
Betting tax in Ghana after the 2025 repeal
Betting tax in Ghana on winnings stopped on 2 April 2025; Act 1129, the Income Tax (Amendment) Act 2025, struck out the 10% withholding in place since 2023. GH₵1,000 won at a licensed bookmaker now reaches the MoMo wallet as GH₵1,000. The Ghana Revenue Authority told operators to stop deducting.
Operators still pay their own gaming taxes on gross revenue, which is why prices and bonus terms differ between brands; the punter's payout is untouched. Mobile money transfers carry the network's own tariff, which the MoMo prompt shows before you approve.
Compare brands on price and rollover alone, since no tax difference separates a licensed brand from an offshore one on the payout.
Ghanaian punters' questions about betting sites in Ghana
Is betting legal in Ghana?
Yes, at 18 and over, under the Gaming Act 2006 (Act 721). Only a licensed limited liability company may run betting (section 13); the licences come from the Gaming Commission of Ghana, which prints the operator register yearly.
Do Ghanaian bookmakers still deduct tax from a win?
No. Act 1129 of 2025 ended the 10% withholding on winnings from 2 April 2025, and operators were instructed to stop the deduction. A licensed bookmaker pays the full win to your MoMo wallet.
How do I check a Gaming Commission licence?
Open the licensed operators page on gamingcommission.gov.gh and search the company name. 22Bet appears as Lantini Limited, BetWinner as Inter Omega Limited and 1xBet as Clickwell Ghana Limited, each with a GCSB number and the activity the licence covers.
Which USSD short codes do Ghanaian bookmakers run?
Short codes are brand-specific USSD menus for feature phones. Betika publishes *263# and Betway *711*1795#; each code opens that bookmaker's menu on an MTN line. The ranked brands run through apps and mobile sites rather than USSD.
Which betting sites accept MTN MoMo in Ghana?
Every Gaming Commission licensee in the ranking runs a MoMo cashier, because MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash and AT Money are how Ghanaian punters move money. The deposit arrives through a prompt on your phone that you approve with your MoMo PIN.
Why does a betting site ask for my Ghana Card?
Since the Bank of Ghana notice of November 2025, financial accounts are tied to Ghana Card identification, and the Gaming Commission requires operators to verify age and identity. A licensed bookmaker takes the card number at sign-up or ahead of the first payout.
Can I use foreign bookmakers from Ghana?
Offshore brands take Ghanaian sign-ups and cedi deposits, but they sit outside the Gaming Commission register, so a dispute has no Ghanaian regulator to go to. Paripesa, 888Starz and Linebet in the ranking fall into that group, and each prints the licence it holds.
What is the minimum deposit at a Ghanaian betting site?
Paripesa has the lowest welcome floor in the ranking; 22Bet and BetWinner come next at GH₵12, then 888Starz at GH₵13. Local brands often accept GH₵1 stakes through MoMo, but the welcome offers start at those floors.
