Casino platform
Rent or buy a casino platform: how to choose
Operators launching an online casino usually face one early decision: rent a platform or own it. Both options give access to the same production software, so the choice comes down to cash flow, control and long-term plans.
Renting: low setup, shared upside
Renting has a low one-time setup fee. After go-live you pay a tiered revenue share on GGR, which falls as your GGR grows, plus a monthly minimum fee that rises in steps over the first months. The platform stays with the provider and there is no IP transfer.
It suits operators who want to start quickly with a limited upfront budget and who are comfortable paying for the platform as their revenue grows.
Buying: fixed price, full ownership
Buying is a fixed price: a setup fee plus a monthly development fee, with no revenue share and no monthly minimum. The source code is transferred after 12 months and there is no platform fee or exit fee afterwards.
It suits operators who plan to scale and want the platform, and its roadmap, to belong to them.
Questions to ask before deciding
How much capital do you want to commit before launch? How much GGR do you expect, and how quickly? Do you want your own development team to take over the code? Answering these usually makes the choice clear. Our team can walk through the numbers for your case on a consultation call.
