SBC News Voice of the Sports Betting Industry
Betway Ghana (a syndicated Betway brand) has stepped up its efforts to prevent under-age gambling, requiring its customers to provide foolproof identification and further stringent checks when placing bets via its services.
The operator stated that it wanted to improve Ghana industry practices with regards to monitoring customers and discouraging any form of underage gambling, a matter which has hit recent national news headlines with the increasing popularity of sports betting.
The Gaming Commission of Ghana regulates the sports betting industry and prohibits customers below the age of 18 accessing gambling services.
Nevertheless, Betway Ghana management stated that it wanted to place responsible gaming standards to be at the forefront of its services to Ghanaian betting consumers as the company seeks to increase its profile.
Commenting on his firms initiatives Kwabena Nkrumah marketing manager for Betway Ghana stated:
“For us, as a reputable and highly accountable brand, we are just as focused on discouraging those who are not legally qualified to gamble just as we are on ensuring that those eligible have a pleasant and safe experience. This preserves the integrity of the service that we provide for all involved”
