Betking Ghana review (2023)

We all want to be treated like kings and queens, especially where the market is a saturated one. Having a service provider that understands you and what you are worth is another thing- and that is exactly what Betking is all about. As a newbie in the Ghanaian betting industry, Betking has given the traditional bookmarkers a run for their money- and all for a good reason. In this review, we will tell you more about Betking, the variety of fields and areas that Betking offers, the different odds and promotions, how to register, deposit and withdraw your winnings and answer the FAQ that you may have. 

About Betking?

Betking found a home in Ghana in 2021, after The Gaming Commission of Ghana awarded it an operating license under the Gaming Act, 2006 (Act 721). Currently, Arcadia Games Ltd are the known owners of Betking Ghana. 

From its inception, Betking saw a gap among Ghanaian punters- the payout process was a long one, the odds were relatively low and customer support was not sufficient. They also realized that the betting process was quite complicated, given the complexity of the websites. Based on extensive market research, Betking saw an opportunity, and decided to change the narrative. According to Betking, the customer deserves more value. Betking set out to give its Punters royal treatment, and they rightly put it “grow a Kingdom- one King at a time”

When we say that Betking is all about royalty, we are echoing just who they are. The bookmaker for instance has given its customers more than 200 options to gamble for soccer lovers. In essence, you could start by selecting a country or league of your choice, then look at a particular match that you want to play- and this comes with all the stats needed before you make the call. What is most interesting, is that despite the World Cup being scheduled for in December 2022, you could place your bet on the winner, with odds as high as 250!

In recent years, basketball and Formula 1 have gained new fans in Ghana, all who have shown a big interest in staking at the two. Betking understood this and saw the need to make it easy to understand and gamble.

It is worth mentioning that basketball fans who follow the American league could bet on the NBA playoffs, the NBA and WNBA.

Margins and Odds

Since its inception in 2021, Betking believes in the slogan- go big or go home. The margins and odds that Betking offers its bookies are among the highest in the region. For instance, in soccer, Betking ranks among the top 3 in Ghana and the greater West Africa. Additionally, and on most major leagues, bookmakers are given odds boost offers to increase their winnings. 

Cash outs and NBA cash back

You could second guess your bet for one reason or another and you may wish to cash out. Betking allows you to cash out at any time before the match or when they are ongoing. However, you can only cash out on single or multiple bets. 

For new users, you could get up to GHS 150 for NBA games played until the end of the season, even if you lost the bet. Simply bet an NBA game with odds higher than 1.3, make 5 selections and settle the bet for you to get 100% cash back even after you lose the bet.

CUT 1 Campaign

It can be devastating to place a bet and loose by a single match or event. Now, Betking knows the pain and offers a 125% cashback to all lost bets. To qualify for the cashback, you need to have staked in at least 8 matches and lost only 1, the odds must be 1.2 or higher and the event needs to be a sportsbook even (excluding Ghana Premier League)
