The Ghana Association of Sports Betting Operators (GHASBO) has announced that its members have collectively contributed GH¢235,000 (22,595 USD) to support the Gaming Commission’s “Purple Month” campaign held in May 2025.

The Purple Month campaign, themed “Promoting Mental Wellness through Responsible Gaming,” is a national initiative aimed at raising awareness about mental health challenges linked to excessive gaming, promoting responsible betting habits and reinforcing the collective responsibility of all industry stakeholders in ensuring player protection and community well-being.

GHASBO, acting on behalf of its members, made the official donation to the Gaming Commission as a show of support for the campaign and its objectives. This contribution is part of its larger effort to partner with regulators and civil society in shaping a gaming ecosystem that is ethical, sustainable and protective of vulnerable individuals.

GHASBO said: “We are immensely grateful to all the operators who contributed to this worthy cause. Special appreciation goes to: Sportybet, Msports, Football.com, Betway, PremierBet, and Betfox for their significant contributions.

“We also recognize the meaningful contributions of the operators who donated various amounts to ensure the campaign’s success.”

This collective support from GHASBO members exemplifies the gaming industry’s readiness to champion responsible gaming and community engagement.
