The future of the industry
Until 2030, the Ghanaian market will grow due to the formalization of distance services and the integration of mobile money payments with eKYC, which will simplify compliance and reduce risks.
The priorities of regulators (Gaming Commission, NLA) are transparent taxes on GGR/winnings, uniform requirements for advertising and RG tools (limits, self-exclusion), data protection and monitoring of sports integrity.
Base scenario: progressive legalization and localization of online operators, an increase in the share of non-cash payments and stable fiscal revenues.
Optimistic: investment inflow, expansion of French and English-language live tables, development of clusters "casino + hotel + events," regional compatibility of norms (ECOWAS).
Conservative: gray market pressure, cyber risk and match fixing, slow implementation of RG tools and limited solvency.
The key to sustainability is strict compliance, transparency and responsible play.
