Short answer: a crypto casino with full source code from Gambling Soft costs $22,900 (Cryptoluxe, a crypto-first casino brand, one-time payment, no revenue share on the platform). The cheapest way to accept crypto is the Casino Lite package for $7,500, which comes with crypto payments built in. A budget of $35,000 to $60,000 covers the software, an Anjouan gaming license with company registration ($28,000) and the first months of hosting. Official slots from Pragmatic Play, Evolution and 70+ other providers cost $5,500 plus 15% of GGR; the extended package of 1,020 more HTML5 slots with adjustable RTP costs $1,650 plus 6% of the GGR of those games. Technical launch takes 7 business days after the advance payment, and the software carries a 12-month warranty. All prices are in USD; USDT is accepted at 1:1.

What makes a crypto casino different
A crypto casino is an online casino where players deposit and withdraw in cryptocurrency: USDT, BTC, ETH and other coins (20+ supported). The games, the bonus system and the admin panel are the same as in a card-based casino. The differences are in payments, identity checks and the way balances are kept. Every Gambling Soft platform accepts both cards and crypto (20+ coins) with automatic and manual payouts, so a crypto casino is a configuration choice, not a separate product. Cryptoluxe is the brand built around crypto from the start: wallet-first registration, coin balances in the cashier and a design made for crypto players.
| Area | Card-based casino | Crypto casino |
|---|---|---|
| Deposits | Card and bank processors, approval by the acquirer, chargebacks possible | On-chain transfers to the casino wallet, no chargebacks |
| Withdrawals | 1 to 5 business days through the processor | Minutes after approval, automatic or manual by the operator |
| KYC | Required by the acquirer and the regulator | Defined by the license; many offshore licenses allow KYC only at withdrawal thresholds |
| Currencies | USD, EUR and local fiat | USDT, BTC, ETH and 20+ coins in total; fiat display optional |
| Fees | 3-8% of turnover plus rolling reserve (industry estimates) | Network fees only with own wallets; 0.5-1.5% with a crypto processor (industry estimates) |
| Chargebacks and fraud | Chargebacks, card testing, stolen cards | No chargebacks; risks are bonus abuse and multi-accounting |
| Countries | Limited by the acquirer’s list | Limited by the license and your own geo rules |
Own wallets or a crypto processor
There are two ways to accept crypto. The first is your own wallets: the platform generates a deposit address for each player, watches the blockchain and credits the balance when the transfer is confirmed; payouts are signed from the operator’s hot wallet. The second is a crypto processor (a payment provider that accepts coins on your behalf and settles to you in USDT or fiat). Gambling Soft platforms support both: the crypto module with own wallets is included in the software, and processors are connected through the payment solutions service.
| Own wallets (built into the platform) | Crypto processor | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Included in the platform price; network fees only | Setup from $0 and 0.5-1.5% of turnover (industry estimates) |
| Control of funds | Full: keys and balances are yours | Funds sit with the processor until settlement |
| Onboarding | None, works from day one | Company documents and license required; 1-4 weeks (industry estimates) |
| Coins | USDT (TRC20, ERC20), BTC, ETH and others, 20+ coins | Depends on the processor’s list |
| Fiat conversion | Done by the operator on an exchange | Automatic settlement in USDT or fiat |
| Risk | Key management is on you: cold storage, limits, two-person payouts | Counterparty risk: the processor can freeze or delay |
| Best for | Start-ups and operators who want low fees and full control | Operators who need fiat settlement and accounting by a third party |
Most new operators start with own wallets and add a processor later when fiat settlement or card acquiring becomes necessary. Both can run in one cashier at the same time.
RTP and games: HTML5 slots versus official slots
Every Gambling Soft platform ships with about 1,200 HTML5 slots. Such an HTML5 slot reproduces the look and mechanics of a known slot, runs on our own game server and has an adjustable RTP (return to player) from 5% to 100%, set per game or per group in the admin panel. Copies are not licensed by the original studios, so they are used in markets and under licenses where the operator accepts that; they are not accepted in regulated markets such as the EU or the UK. The extended games package for $1,650 adds 1,020 more HTML5 slots, after which the operator pays 6% of the GGR of these games per month; it is not covered by provider certificates (see the certificates page). Official games are different: the official slots package for $5,500 connects 21,000+ games from 70+ providers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution, Play’n GO and others) through an aggregator; RTP is fixed by the studio, the operator pays 15% of GGR on those games, and the provider requires a valid gaming license and KYC rules. Crypto casinos often run both: official games for trust and live dealers, copies for wider margins and markets where official studios do not sell.
| HTML5 slots (included) | Official slots ($5,500 + 15% GGR) | |
|---|---|---|
| Number of games | 1,200 included, 1,020 more for $1,650 | 21,000+ from 70+ providers |
| RTP | Adjustable 5-100% by the operator | Fixed by the studio, usually 94-97% |
| Rights | No studio license; operator’s responsibility | Licensed content, provider contracts |
| Live dealers | No | Yes (Evolution, Pragmatic Live and others) |
| License needed | Depends on jurisdiction | Valid gaming license required by the provider |
| Ongoing cost | None for the included 1,200; 6% of GGR on the extended package | 15% of GGR on those games |
Licenses for a crypto casino
Crypto does not remove the need for a license: processors, official game providers and most advertising networks ask for one, and players check it. The two common choices for a crypto-first operator are Anjouan ($28,000 with company registration) and Curacao ($75,000 with company registration). Anjouan is the cheaper and faster option for a start-up; Curacao is better known to players and providers. Both accept crypto operations. Malta ($70,000), Kahnawake ($60,000) and Tobique ($50,000) are available for operators who target specific markets. Licensing includes the company, document preparation and the application; timelines depend on the regulator. See the list of licenses.
