Sub-account

The deposit floor

From GH₵1.00 to GH₵20 across the seven bookmakers that publish one. That is a spread of 20 times, and it is the widest gap between two books on any axis this ledger can read.

Why this carries points and a game library does not

Where the game weighting went

A model built on cashier rows has no honest way to score a lobby: eleven of the thirteen catalogues trading in Ghana cannot be counted from outside the country, so any games weight would rank bookmakers by whose lobby happened to be readable. The 10 points sit here instead, on the one figure in the fact base that separates the market cleanly and that a reader can act on before depositing anything.

OP Recorded. Read off the operator's own Ghanaian pages: a cashier screen, a terms clause, a licence footer or its own API.

CP Computed. Derived from a price feed the research pass pulled itself, with the sample size and the date on the record.

RP Reported. Published by somebody other than the operator, or agreed across several pages with no primary document behind any of them.

ES Estimated. Filled in by the research pass rather than found. It is not evidence, and this ledger prints it as a figure under protest rather than as a fact.

-- No entry. Nothing is on file. In this market that is usually a checked answer rather than a gap, and the page says which.

Two thresholds that are printed as one everywhere else

The cashier minimum is what the rail will accept. The qualifying deposit is what a welcome offer needs before it gives anything back. They are different numbers on most of this market and the larger one is usually the one quoted.

SportyBet takes GH₵1.00 at the cashier and needs GH₵10 before the welcome offer engages, which is 10 times as much.

Books that publish no floor

Betway, Premier Bet publish no deposit minimum on any row this desk could read. The line is left empty rather than filled with a market average, because a book that publishes nothing and a book that publishes exactly the average would then be indistinguishable, and there would be no way to tell afterwards which was which.

Questions about deposit minimums

What is the cheapest bookmaker to open in Ghana?

On the published figures, GH₵1.00 at SportyBet. Several books share that floor, so the honest answer is that the cheapest tier of this market is GH₵1.00 rather than any one brand.

Why is the minimum deposit different from the minimum for the bonus?

They are two thresholds and they are routinely printed as one. The cashier minimum is what the payment rail will accept; the qualifying deposit is what a welcome offer demands before it releases anything. one books on this ledger set the second one higher than the first, so a deposit that opens the account earns nothing.

Does a low deposit floor mean a low stake?

Not necessarily, and the two are recorded separately. A deposit floor is what the cashier will take; a stake floor is what the product will accept on a bet. Where a record publishes both, the stake floor is shown on that bookmaker's own statement.
