Betway Ghana, online and mobile sports betting company, will observe its one year anniversary after its inception in Ghana on June 16, 2016. Marketing Manager of Betway Ghana, Kwabena Oppong-Nkrumah, says, “We are happy to be a year old and hope to provide customers and sports enthusiasts the opportunity to win exciting prizes. This should help stamp the Betway brand in the minds and hearts of people across Ghana, and establish the fact that the winnings are very real.” The sports betting company is the first to rollout online bookmaking in Ghana. Betway Ghana since establishing an office in Accra has done several projects to enhance the development of sports in communities across the country. As part of the company’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes, Betway Ghana started a campaign against underage betting which includes activities such as: Organizing a Coaching Clinic event which occurred in November last year, signing a sponsorship deal with Ashgold, donations to Teiman Community in the Greater Accra Region and the Accra Psychiatric Hospital as well as the launch of the Betway talent search which will commemorate the first anniversary. Aside from CSR Initiatives Betway has embarked on, the company has collaborated with its English Premier League club, West Ham United FC, to bring Ghana star Andre Dede Ayew and a host of the club’s officials to the country, to share their expertise with 20 Ghana Premier League coaches and officials. Since the beginning of the Company’s operations in Ghana, Betway has treated betting fans to world class betting services, making it possible for them to bet from anywhere and on any device, via their SMS and Internet-based platforms. It also offers customers the convenience of instant cash-ins from any mobile money vendor at any time without third party involvement. Betway Ghana recently introduced three Jackpot promotions worth GHȻ 20.8 million in December 2016. These are some of the biggest online sports betting jackpots to hit the Ghanaian market, dubbed, “the Jumbo Jackpots”. The excitement behind these promotions has already seen more than 20 people walk away with wins of GHȻ 20,000. With their beautiful and yet easy to access internet platform bettors are able to bet with ease. History was made once again when a bettor, Kwame Fosuhene, based in Kumasi, won GHS 990,000 and was assigned a financial advisor to help him manage the money.
