Helabet and the Musicians’ Support Fund in Nigeria and Ghana: How It Works
In recent times, we’ve been seeing more betting companies stepping up to support young talents — not just in sports, but in music and entertainment too. One of the names leading that move is Helabet, a well-known betting company that operates in both Nigeria and Ghana.
Now, the company is doing something a bit different — setting up and supporting a musicians’ fund to help upcoming artists across both countries. Let’s break it down in plain terms so everyone understands how it really works.
The Partnership: What It’s About
Helabet has teamed up with a group of local partners to build a Support Fund for Musicians in Nigeria and Ghana.
The main goal is to give financial help, exposure, and training to young people who are serious about music — especially those who don’t have access to sponsors or studios.
Instead of waiting for a record label to notice them, artists can now apply to this fund and get small grants, mentorship, and even event slots to perform.
About Helabet
For those who don’t know, Helabet is an online sports betting and gaming platform that operates in several African countries, including Nigeria, Ghana, Zambia, Kenya and more.
They offer everything from:
- Sports betting (football, basketball, tennis, etc.)
- Virtual games
- Casino and Aviator
- And now, community-focused projects like the Musicians’ Fund
Helabet says it wants to be more than just a betting company — it wants to be a platform that gives back to the people who make the culture vibrant: the youth.
Which Products Support the Fund
Here’s where it gets interesting. Helabet isn’t just promising money out of nowhere — the support fund actually comes from a percentage of revenue from certain games.
- From sports betting in Nigeria and Ghana, a small share goes directly into the fund.
- From Aviator and casino games, another percentage is set aside.
- And in Ghana, bingo betting also contributes a portion to the pool.
It’s simple — the more people play, the bigger the fund grows.
That means even regular users are, in a way, contributing to the growth of the local music scene every time they play responsibly on the Helabet platform.
Where the Money Goes
The money collected in the fund isn’t just sitting idle — it’s being directed to real projects that touch lives.
Here’s how it’s used:
- Music grants for talented artists who apply through verified platforms.
- Studio sessions and production support — helping upcoming acts record their first proper songs.
- Music events and open mics where new voices can perform.
- Training and mentorship, connecting artists with producers, songwriters, and managers.
- Community projects, like music workshops in schools and youth centers.
Helabet says the idea is not to make quick noise — but to build long-term platforms for talent discovery and growth.
How Reporting and Transparency Work
A big question people always ask is: “How do we know the money really reaches musicians?”
Good question.
Helabet partners handle reporting by publishing short quarterly updates — showing how much was raised, how much went to artists, and which cities or regions benefited.
For example, one quarter might say:
- ₦50 million allocated in Nigeria
- ₵300,000 allocated in Ghana
- 14 artists supported
- 3 events sponsored
This way, everyone can see results, not just promises.

Helabet move to support musicians in Nigeria and Ghana shows that betting companies can actually play a positive role beyond the games.
