The rule in Ghana
Regulator, licensing and what it means for payments
The Gaming Commission of Ghana licenses operators, which pay 20% of gross gambling revenue. Ghana repealed the 10% withholding tax on player winnings in April 2025. All three mobile-money rails dwarf cards, and MTN MoMo decides whether a cashier works at all.
