How We Test Betting Sites
Every betting site on BetWise Ghana has been personally tested by our team. We don't rely on second-hand information or paid promotions—we deposit real money, place real bets, and attempt real withdrawals. Here's exactly how we evaluate each platform.
Our Promise: We never accept payment for positive reviews. A site cannot buy its way onto our recommended list. Our rankings are based solely on our testing results and user feedback.
Our Testing Process
Licensing Verification
We verify each site's license with the Gaming Commission of Ghana or international regulators (MGA, UKGC, Curacao). Unlicensed sites are immediately rejected.
Account Registration
We register a real account using accurate information. We document any KYC requirements and how long verification takes.
Deposit Testing
We deposit GHS 50-200 via MTN Mobile Money, Vodafone Cash, and/or cryptocurrency. We record processing times and any fees.
Game/Bet Testing
We place bets or play games for at least 2 hours. We test mobile app performance, site speed, and game variety.
Withdrawal Testing
The most important test: we attempt to withdraw winnings. We record exact processing times and whether any issues arise.
Support Evaluation
We contact customer support with test questions. We evaluate response time, helpfulness, and availability (live chat, email, phone).

Our Testing Schedule
We re-test each listed site quarterly to ensure our information stays current. If a site changes its policies or performance deteriorates, we update our review immediately.
- Full Re-test: Every 3 months (deposit, play, withdraw)
- Bonus Check: Monthly (verify current offers and terms)
- Speed Test: Weekly (check site performance and withdrawal times)
User Feedback: We also monitor user reviews and complaints. If multiple players report issues with a site, we investigate and may adjust scores accordingly. Your feedback matters—contact us at feedback@betwisegh.fun.
Transparency Statement
BetWise Ghana earns commissions through affiliate partnerships. When you click a link on our site and sign up, we may receive compensation. However:
- This never affects our test scores or rankings
- We list sites that don't pay us commissions if they score well
- We clearly label all affiliate links
- We'd rather recommend a good site with no commission than a bad site that pays well
