Ghana's distribution-platform constraint is structural rather than platform-specific: section 19 of Act 721 prohibits licence transfer, and because no standalone B2B or supplier licence exists, a game-content supplier or aggregator can only distribute into the Ghanaian market by contracting through a licensed local operator rather than through direct platform registration. No app-store rule, ISP-blocking regime, search-de-listing mechanism, or affiliate-marketing platform restriction was identified in the evidence base this cycle, and no change to the section 19 non-transferability constraint was found. The practical distribution consequence for a B2B platform is that its Ghana go-to-market structure must be built around a licensed-operator-fronted supply relationship, with revenue-share terms kept clearly distinguishable from co-licensing to avoid the arrangement being read as an unlawful indirect licence transfer under section 19.
