Kwabena Ofori
Kwabena Ofori is a writer at NewCasinoRank. He grew up in Tamale, studied computer science at the University of Ghana, Legon, and now writes about new online casinos for players in Ghana: which studios they carry, what their welcome offers cost to clear and how money gets in and out.
When he looks at a casino, the first thing he checks is whether Ghanaian payment methods such as MTN MoMo or Telecel Cash are on the deposit list, and whether they also appear on the withdrawal list. Outside work he plays chess, runs long distances and follows esports.

How Kwabena works
How Kwabena writes about a new casino
Kwabena starts from the cashier. He lists the deposit and withdrawal methods a casino states and marks where mobile money, bank transfer or cards come in but do not go back out, because that gap is where Ghanaian players most often get stuck.
He then reads the bonus terms against the offer quoted in cedis, checks the licence on the regulator's register where one exists, and notes any fact the casino does not state rather than guessing it.
A long deposit list means little if the withdrawal list is short. I want readers to see the way out before they put money in.
What they check
- Deposit and withdrawal methods compared
- Mobile money on both sides, or only one
- Bonus wagering and caps against the terms
- Licence number against the regulator's register
Questions for Kwabena
Why do you check withdrawals before deposits?
Because many casinos take MTN MoMo or a card on the way in but pay out only to an e-wallet, a card or crypto. If you know that before you deposit, you can set up the right account first.
Do casinos on your list take MTN MoMo?
A few list it for deposits. Fewer list it for withdrawals, so each review shows the two lists separately.
Are offers quoted in cedis better?
Not by themselves. The wagering, the maximum bet and the cap on winnings decide what an offer is worth, whatever the currency.
