Notes
Things worth knowing once. Most of them are about somebody else’s rule: the central bank’s, the regulator’s, a card scheme’s, an app store’s.
On this market
- What the Commission register does not tell you The register carries names and licence classes and no numbers at all, so every quoted number is second-hand.
- Tax on winnings, and the date that changed it A 10 per cent withholding on gross winnings existed, was charged on the gross rather than the profit, and was repealed on 2 April 2025.
- The ceiling on your win is your wallet, not the bookmaker A minimum-KYC mobile money wallet has a monthly ceiling, and no payout schedule gets round a monthly ceiling.
- When a bookmaker’s Ghana help page is written for another country A brand’s Ghana-path help page returning another country’s currency, support number and social accounts is a fact about the product.
- One book on this list charges you to withdraw A published one per cent withdrawal fee, contradicted across the market by pages saying the opposite.
- Terms drafted with a winner in mind What separates ordinary discretionary language from machinery built to cut back an account that keeps winning.
- A store rating belongs to a country Ratings are country-scoped, sizes are platform-scoped, and mixing the two is the most common error in Ghanaian app tables.
- What a public review score is measuring Why this publication prints no review score for any bookmaker, and what the scores in circulation actually describe.
On how this list is built
Two of these are about the publication rather than the market. They sit in the same run as everything else because a method that is only readable by somebody already looking for it has not been published, it has been filed.
- Nobody here has timed a cash out Where the payout figures come from, what they are worth, and the one on our list that is an editor’s estimate.
- Why there is no number beside a name A total computed over 86 per cent of a model and one computed over all of it are not the same number wearing the same hat.
The rule itself, with the roster it produces, is on the list.
