BC.GAME has launched its sports betting and online casino offering in Ghana after the Gaming Commission of Ghana granted it Sports Betting and Online Casino licences. The platform is now live at bcgame.com.gh.
Reports differ on how the company counts the milestone. BC.GAME said Ghana is its third regulated market, alongside Mexico and Nigeria, while another report described it as its third locally licensed African market, alongside Kenya and Nigeria.
The Ghana rollout includes market-specific changes. BC.GAME said it has updated navigation, expanded customer-support information and given clearer guidance on payment methods and account management. It also made responsible-gambling information more visible.
Adrian Chen, the company's senior legal counsel, said Ghana has a well-established regulatory framework and that entering in line with local licensing rules is an important step in BC.GAME's regulated growth strategy. He said the company wants to operate transparently and responsibly, provide clear information to local users and keep its products and processes aligned with Ghanaian requirements.
The launch lands in a market that has grown quickly. H2 Gambling Capital data cited in iGB show Ghana's online gross win reached $903.5 million in 2025, up 24% from $729.8 million in 2024. African gambling is often viewed as dominated by South Africa, Nigeria and Kenya, even as Ghana emerges as a more important player.
The market has already attracted other international brands. Kaizen Gaming launched its Betano brand in Ghana on 5 February. A separate market context article said Ghana's legal framework was supportive of industry growth, and that the country amended its Income Tax Act in 2023 to impose a 20% tax on gross gambling revenue and a 10% withholding tax on winnings before dropping the withholding levy early last year after industry pressure.
Ghana's post-licensing regime is not limited to paperwork. Guidance on the market says the Gaming Commission of Ghana licenses, regulates and supervises gaming activities, while monitoring licensed operators through regular reporting, on-site inspections and complaint-driven investigations. It also says responsible-gambling tools must work for real players, including on mobile, and that AML thresholds need to reflect mobile-money transaction patterns.
The move also comes after BC.GAME faced scrutiny elsewhere. The operator withdrew its Curaçao licence in December after what it called an increasingly hostile operating environment, following a November court ruling that declared the company bankrupt after it failed to pay players funds owed. The same report said BC.GAME lost its white-label licence in the UK, prompting concerns over its sponsorship of Leicester City, although the company said it had no liquidity or financial-stability issues and was continuing to expand into new regulated markets.
