A rating without a country attached is not a fact about a Ghanaian product
eleven of the thirteen brands trading here ship something installable. Whether it came from a storefront, from the operator's own site or from a company with no connection to the brand is the first thing worth establishing, and it is the thing most comparisons skip.

Every rating above is the Ghanaian storefront's, and where a record could not establish which storefront a figure came from, none is printed. A size is never paired with a rating from a different platform, which is how several of the figures in circulation for this market were assembled.
The three situations
A genuine store listing
Carries a rating from this country's users, an update history and a publisher name that can be compared against the company holding the licence. That last check is the useful one, and it is the reason store listings are worth more than a badge on a homepage.
A file from the operator's own site
seven of the books here serve one. It carries none of the above and has to be trusted on the strength of the site serving it. One of them is a fraction of a megabyte, which means it is a wrapper around the mobile site rather than a built application, and that is worth knowing rather than worth criticising: a wrapper is current the moment the site is.
Somebody else's application entirely
A store search for at least one brand in this market returns nothing official at all, only applications published by unrelated companies. Ratings and download counts from those listings circulate as though they described the bookmaker. They do not, and none of them appears anywhere on this site.
No application at all
Premier Bet and Wiwi Casino. For at least one of these it is a checked finding rather than a gap: the operator's own pages, its configuration and its whole script bundle contain no reference to a store or a downloadable file anywhere, and the route it intends is the mobile browser.
Questions this page gets asked
Does the app change the price?
Almost never, and there is one exception worth knowing: one book in this market pays its welcome offer only on a deposit made inside the application, so a deposit from the website earns nothing at all. The prices themselves are the same either way.
Why do so few ratings appear here?
Because a rating belongs to a storefront and most of the figures in circulation for this market belong to another country's. Where a rating is printed here it is the Ghanaian one, and where the record could not establish which country a figure came from, none is printed.
Is a direct download worse than a store listing?
Not inherently. What it removes is a layer of checking: a store listing names a publisher that can be compared against the licence holder, and a file from a website cannot be. seven of the books here serve one.
Which books have no app at all?
Premier Bet and Wiwi Casino. In at least one case that is a checked finding rather than a gap, with no downloadable file anywhere on the operator's own property and an installable web page offered instead.
