Popular betting company, BetPawa, has taken an important step in its campaign for responsible gaming by providing IT equipment to the Gaming Commission of Ghana. This is to establish a “responsible gaming” call center in the commission.
The campaign for responsible gaming is simply to educate people about betting. It is to make them understand that sports betting is just a form of entertainment and leisure and should not be seen as an avenue to earn a living. Thus, punters should bet what they can afford to lose.
According to Mr.Eazy, a music star and a stakeholder in BetPawa, BetPawa is deeply committed to making sure punters bet responsibly. He made the remark during the handing over of the IT equipment. He said, “As a brand, we place a lot of importance on responsible gaming.”
He stressed the importance of having call centers that guide and help punters psychologically and emotionally. In his words “It is an undeniable fact that sport betting can be addictive. BetPawa will do everything above ourselves to help put in the necessary infrastructure to ensure that no one suffers any harm through
gaming, hence the setup of the Responsible Gaming Call Center”.
BetPawa doesn’t only create awareness about responsible gaming but also sponsors sporting events. They are the official sponsor of the Ghana Premier League. According to Mr. Eazy, “The creation of the call center has come at the right time as fans of the betPawa Premier League as well as other punters will benefit directly from the call center.”

Subsequently, Mr. Eazy commended the Gaming Commission of Ghana for being cooperative by providing trained officials to attend to Punters. He advised Punters who need help to take advantage of the development.
In a similar fashion, the Commissioner of the Gaming Commission, Mr. Peter Mireku, commended BetPawa. He acknowledged their passion towards the eradication of betting related psychological problems. He further encouraged operators to imitate BetPawa.
Over the years, BetPawa has employed different strategies to promote their messages about responsible gaming which is a priority of the company. Other operators should walk in BetPawa shoes to make sure the psychological safety of their customers is prioritised.
