The Ghanaian government plans to impose a new 10% tax on all winnings from gambling, games, and lotteries.
Young Ghanaians, many of whom participate in gambling, have harshly criticized the new fee on social media.
Throughout the past ten years, Ghana’s betting sector has experienced phenomenal expansion, which has encouraged numerous bookmakers to establish operations there.
Ghanaians’ opinions on sports betting have recently frequently been mixed, with some emphasising its negative impacts on the youth.
Others agree, saying that since gambling is legal and not against the law, it cannot be characterized as a negative habit.
Serwaa Amihere, a newscaster on GH One, was criticized before for saying that sports betting was turning into a national crisis.
