Right. This is one of the most interesting parts of the online betting journey.

After depositing some money into your betting account, you are free to start placing bets on your betting site.

We know that you are very eager to place your first bet, but do not get to excited and forget to claim your welcome bonus!

Most betting sites in Ghana have welcome bonus offers for new customers.

A welcome bonus is a sort of gift from the betting site, thanking you for choosing their site over rival bookies.

Welcome bonus offers usually come in the form of cash rewards. The most popular type of welcome bonus is the first deposit bonus.

When you sign up on a betting site and make a deposit, you will be rewarded with a percentage of the deposit amount as welcome bonus.

For instance, a betting site like 22Bet has a 100% first deposit bonus. This means that 22Bet will give you a welcome bonus worth the exact value of your first deposit.

Hence, if you sign up on 22Bet Ghana and make a first deposit of GHS 100, you will get an extra GHS 100 as welcome bonus.

Many Ghanaians are football fans, and by extension, are football betting fans. Hence, most sports betting sites in Ghana are very heavy on football betting.

In fact, the best betting sites in Ghana are the sites with the best football betting markets. Any site that is poor is football betting is unlikely to succeed in the Ghanaian market.

Having said that, football is not the only sport that Ghanaians bet on.

We bet on many other sports, including tennis, basketball, handball and rugby.

On the average, a good betting site offers as much as 20 sports in its sportsbook, while some sites like 1xBet Ghana have up to 40 sports in their catalogue.

Within three years of gaining independence from Great Britain, Ghana created her first sports betting law- the Lotteries Betting Act 1960. This Act guided sports betting until 2006, when the Gaming Act 2006 was introduced.

The Gaming Act made it legal for players in Ghana to take part in sports betting activities, while entrusting the responsibility of regulating the industry on the Gaming Commission of Ghana. This body has the task of screening and issuing licenses to local and international betting sites in Ghana.

Sports betting in Ghana is great fun and entertainment. In fact, you can even make some decent money from betting, as long as you have luck on your side!
