The head of Ghana's District Assemblies Common Fund warns young people not to depend on betting for income. Michael Harry Yamson believes betting should remain just fun entertainment. His comments follow criticism about the government removing taxes on betting wins. Many religious groups fear this might encourage more young people to gamble.

Yamson told Citi News that removing the tax aims to help the betting industry add more to the economy, not encourage bad habits. He stressed that betting remains a leisure activity, never meant as a job or career path. The government hopes betting companies will strictly enforce rules against underage gambling. Yamson worries about children as young as ten accessing betting platforms.

The government plans to work with tech companies on safety measures. They want to use the Ghana Card system to stop young people from betting online. These digital tools would help check ages before allowing access to betting websites.
