The Minister of the Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mubarak Mohammed, has charged the newly inaugurated Governing Board of the Gaming Commission of Ghana to work diligently to promote responsible gaming, curb underage participation and address the growing menace of illegal gaming operators, particularly in mining communities.

Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of the 11-member Board at the Ministry’s Boardroom, the Hon. Muntaka reiterated the critical oversight role of the Board and urged its members to elevate the Commission’s performance to sub-regional excellence.

“Your appointment by His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama is a clear indication of the trust and confidence he has reposed in your ability to deliver on your mandate. You have a duty to help position the Gaming Commission of Ghana as the leading gaming regulator in sub-Saharan Africa,” the Minister stated.

He commended the Commission’s current leadership for the strides made in strengthening corporate governance and initiating key regulatory reforms.

“Noteworthy among these efforts are plans to construct an ultra-modern Head Office in Accra. From just three offices in Kasoa, Kumasi, and Tamale in 2016, the Commission has now expanded to Swedru, Ho, Ashanti Bekwai, and Sefwi Wiawso, with further plans to open new offices in Tarkwa, Koforidua, and Bolgatanga.”

The Minister also lauded the Commission’s commitment to staff development and public education, citing the recently concluded Purple Month campaign in May 2025 as a significant achievement.

“I am particularly pleased with the success of the maiden ‘Purple Month’ initiative, which engaged over 1500 young people from the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) and Accra Technical University (ATU) on the risks of gaming addiction and its connection to mental health. This effort received strong support from Members of Parliament, Hon. Dr. Zanetor Agyemang-Rawlings (Korle Klottey) and Hon. John Dumelo (Ayawaso West Wuogon), as well as active participation from gaming operators across media platforms and campus events,” he said.

Accepting the mandate on behalf of the Board, the newly appointed Chairman, Mr. James Enu, Esq., who also serves as the Member of Parliament for Tema West, expressed gratitude to the President and the Minister for the opportunity to serve.

“We are grateful for the confidence reposed in us and assure you of our unwavering commitment to deliver on our responsibilities. We will work closely with the Games Commissioner and all key stakeholders to promote a vibrant and well-regulated gaming industry. It is encouraging that the Minister emphasized not just revenue generation, but also responsible gaming. As a Board, we intend to prioritize the development of policies that tackle irresponsible gaming practices,” Mr. Enu said.

He added that the 24-hour nature of gaming aligned perfectly with the President’s vision for a 24-hour economy.

“Gaming is a 24-hour activity, and that fits seamlessly into His Excellency’s 24-hour economy agenda. We are excited to play our part in supporting that vision,” he concluded.

Members of the new Governing Board include: Chairperson – Mr. James Enu, Esq. (MP, Tema West) and Members – Mr. Emmanuel Siisi Quainoo (Ag. Gaming Commissioner), Dr. Renee Aku Sitsofe Morhe (President’s Nominee), Dr. Bandim Lamangin Abed-Nego (MP, Bunkpurugu & President’s Nominee), Mr. Sedem Kweku Afenyo (MP, Amasaman & President’s Nominee), Prof. Kobby Mensah (Ministry of Tourism), Mr. Solomon Tetteh Mensah (Ministry of the Interior), ACP Dr. Dinam Kwasi Wisdom Zoiku (Ghana Police Service), Mr. Dela Kemevor (Ministry of Local Government & Rural Development), Mrs. Rosemary Nana Pokuaa Addo Parker (Ghana Revenue Authority).

Betfred Launches Checkd Dev’s Automated Betting System to Strengthen Football Betting Offering

Published

on

Checkd Dev, part of the award-winning Checkd Group and a leading iGaming technology provider, has signed a multi-year agreement to supply its Automated Betting System (ABS) to UK bookmaker Betfred, introducing new levels of efficiency and engagement to pre-match football accumulator betting.

Through the partnership, Betfred has launched a suite of pre-configured, one-click accumulator bets, powered by Checkd Dev’s ABS technology and seamlessly integrated with Betfred’s proprietary pricing.

The solution enhances the customer betting journey while equipping Betfred’s trading team with a robust backend platform to streamline bet creation, management, and settlement. Customers benefit from football bets that are dynamically assigned probabilities based on historic form, providing greater insight and confidence in their selections.

The launch of ABS reinforces Betfred’s reputation as an industry innovator, offering customers smarter, faster, and more engaging betting experiences.

Checkd Dev has refined its ABS user interface through deployments with multiple tier-one operators. Betfred has further strengthened the proposition by integrating its competitive Acca Flex bonus offer, available from launch. Customers can access additional bonuses if their bet wins, while also benefiting from a money-back guarantee if a single leg loses.

Since its introduction two years ago, Checkd Dev’s ABS has evolved from a statistics-driven tool to increase operator conversion rates into a comprehensive system designed to meet the growing demand for automated, pre-configured betting products, powered by the company’s proprietary BRUNO platform.

This agreement extends Checkd Dev’s recent growth trajectory, following high-profile partnerships with William Hill on a fully automated, stats-powered Bet Builder, and a three-year deal with OpenBet to launch a new Trending BetBuilder to market.

Andrew Grimshaw, Commercial Director at Checkd Dev, commented: “We are delighted to be working with fellow Mancunians Betfred on our Trending Bets product. More and more major bookmakers are recognising the tangible value of our automated betting solutions, and it is especially gratifying to collaborate with a local partner on this launch.”

Mark Hartley, Head of Product at Betfred, added: “Since moving onto our propriety platform, we’ve been able to bring new ideas to market much faster. This partnership with Checkd Dev is a great example, helping us solve a simple problem for football fans: researching and building an accumulator can sometimes feel like hard work!

“With one-click, data-driven selections we’ve made the process quicker and easier, while still giving customers the choice and depth they want. Accas are already one of our most compelling propositions, thanks to our popular promotion Acca Flex, and this launch makes them even more engaging. We’re also looking forward to exploring further opportunities to work with Checkd Dev in the future.”
