Betway Ghana Licence — GCG Reference & How to Verify
Quick answer
Betway Ghana operates under two distinct Gaming Commission of Ghana licences: sports betting (reference GCSB23H3146M) and online casino (reference GCCA23W1149G). Both are tied to Sports Betting Group Ghana LTD at 32 Castle Road, Adabraka, Accra. Both are issued 1 January 2026 and expire 31 December 2026.
Where these come from
The licence numbers come from the operator’s own Play Store product description on com.betway.gh — Google requires gambling apps to publish their licence references in the listing copy. The licensee entity and address come from the same source. The validity dates come from the regulator’s own published licensee list at gamingcommission.gov.gh/licensed-operators/ — that page does not publish the licence numbers themselves; it confirms which trade names hold which category and when each licence expires.
The licence numbers are operator-published (Play Store description). The validity dates and trade-name confirmation are regulator-published (GCG licensee list). Both align on Sports Betting Group Ghana LTD.

What “GCG-licensed” means in practice
- Local regulator can act. A dispute escalates to the Gaming Commission of Ghana, which has standing against a Ghana-registered licensee.
- Capital reserves. Licensed operators must hold reserves against player balances — there’s a regulated floor on solvency.
- KYC and AML compliance. The licence requires verified customer identity and anti-money-laundering controls.
- Local tax clarity. Ghana’s tax regime applies; the 10% withholding tax was repealed in April 2025.
GCG-licensed is the regulatory minimum, not an editorial endorsement. The licence doesn’t guarantee favourable bonus terms, fast withdrawals or responsive customer support. It guarantees recourse if those fail.
What it doesn’t mean
- It is not an editorial endorsement. The licence is the regulatory minimum.
- It does not guarantee bonus terms are favourable, withdrawals are fast, or customer support is responsive.
- It does not exempt the operator from changing product features without notice.
