Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use someone else's mobile money account?

Most betting sites require the mobile number to match your account. Using someone else's number can cause withdrawal problems. Always register with your own details.

Why was my mobile money deposit rejected?

Common reasons: insufficient balance, wrong PIN, network issues, or daily limit exceeded. Try again in a few minutes or use the betting site's support if money was deducted but not credited.

Yes, cryptocurrency is legal in Ghana. Bank of Ghana has issued warnings about risks but hasn't banned it. You can legally buy, hold, and use crypto at betting sites.
