Updated 27 September 2026. Author: Gambling Soft team.
Short answer: SoftSwiss and Gambling Soft sell different things. SoftSwiss rents you a casino platform: according to third-party reviews (September 2026), a one-time setup fee of about $15,000 to $50,000, then 5% to 15% of net gaming revenue (NGR) for as long as you operate, with 40,000+ games from 300+ providers and approvals in regulated markets such as Brazil, Mexico, South Africa and Nigeria. Gambling Soft sells you the casino itself: a ready brand with full source code from $8,500 (Violet) to $47,500 (Velvet), or the platform source code for $19,000, paid once, launched in 7 business days, with a 12-month warranty and no platform revenue share. If you run a large operation in regulated markets, SoftSwiss is the safer fit. If your budget is under $60,000, you want to own the code and you plan to work under an offshore license (Anjouan, Curacao), Gambling Soft is the cheaper and faster route. The full price list is on the pricing page.
Gambling Soft vs SoftSwiss at a glance
| Criterion | SoftSwiss | Gambling Soft |
|---|---|---|
| Business model | Platform as a service: setup fee plus revenue share (according to third-party reviews, September 2026); prices are not published on softswiss.com, orders go through order@softswiss.com | One-time purchase of a ready casino or platform source code; prices published on the site |
| Entry price | Setup fee about $15,000 to $50,000 (third-party reviews, September 2026) | Ready casino from $8,500 (Violet) to $47,500 (Velvet); platform source code $19,000; turnkey packages from $7,500 (Casino Lite) |
| Code ownership | No source code sale; the platform stays with the provider | Full source code is transferred to the buyer, installed on the buyer’s hosting |
| Revenue share | 5% to 15% of NGR for the platform (third-party reviews, September 2026) | No platform share on source-code products. Official games: 15% of GGR on those games. White label option: 1/3 of the source-code price plus 8% of profit |
| Launch time | 4 to 8 weeks from contract (third-party reviews, September 2026) | 7 business days after the advance payment for a ready platform |
| Games | 40,000+ titles from 300+ providers (softswiss.com) | About 1,200 HTML5 slots included; official slots package (Pragmatic Play, Evolution and 70+ providers, 21,000+ games) for $5,500 plus 15% of GGR; extended HTML5 slots package (1,700+ titles with adjustable RTP) for $1,650 |

| Regulated markets | Yes, listed above; 300+ casino operators on the platform | Offshore-first: Anjouan and Curacao are the usual choice; the software has no market-specific certification of its own, certification for a regulated market is a separate project |
| Hosting and data | Hosted by the provider; player data lives on the provider’s infrastructure | Your own servers or a hosting we set up; player database, wallets and logs belong to you |
| Best for | Established operators, regulated markets, brands that need a certified stack and a very large game catalog on day one | New operators with a budget of $10,000 to $60,000, crypto and offshore projects, teams that want to own and modify the code |
Both columns use the vendor’s own figures where they are published. SoftSwiss does not publish prices, so the setup fee, revenue share and launch time for SoftSwiss come from third-party reviews collected in September 2026 and can differ in a real contract. Gambling Soft prices are the current public price list, valid for 30 days from the update date above.
What you actually buy in each case
SoftSwiss: a platform you rent
SoftSwiss runs the platform for you. You get a front end, the back office, the game aggregator with 40,000+ titles, payment integrations and compliance tooling, and the provider keeps the platform running. You do not receive source code, and you cannot move the casino to your own servers. The provider’s approvals in regulated markets and the GLI-19 certification are part of the package, which is why large operators pick this model. The trade-off is the ongoing revenue share: every month a share of NGR goes to the platform, which is fine for a casino doing millions in turnover and painful for a small one.
Gambling Soft: a casino you own
Gambling Soft delivers a finished casino with the code. A ready brand such as Violet ($8,500), MysticPlay ($12,500), WolfBet ($16,000), OCEAN ($19,900), Nexus with a sportsbook ($24,990), Ace Poker with a poker room ($23,900), Cryptoluxe crypto casino ($22,900) or Velvet ($47,500) is installed on your hosting, configured, and handed over with documentation, staff training and a 12-month software warranty. The platform source code without a brand costs $19,000. Every platform includes an admin panel and mobile version, about 1,200 slots expandable to 14,000+ from 70+ providers, card and crypto payments with 20+ coins, a bonus system (free spins, cashback, tournaments, jackpot, wheel of fortune), an affiliate program (CPA, revenue share, deposit share), 3 base currencies and 10 languages, anti-fraud and DDoS protection. The list of brands is on the ready-made casinos page.
There is also a middle path: white label from Gambling Soft costs one third of the source-code price plus 8% of profit, which is comparable to a rental model but with a fixed, published entry price.
When SoftSwiss is the better choice
- You operate in a regulated market. Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Nigeria and several EU countries require a certified platform. SoftSwiss lists approvals there and a GLI-19 certificate; Gambling Soft’s software would need its own certification project for such markets.
- You are already a large operator. With 300+ operators on the platform and 40,000+ games, SoftSwiss is built for scale, multi-brand setups and enterprise support. If your monthly GGR is in the hundreds of thousands, a revenue share of 5% to 15% buys you infrastructure and compliance you would otherwise staff yourself.
- You do not want to run servers. Hosting, updates, aggregator contracts and monitoring are the provider’s job.
- You need the widest catalog on day one. 40,000+ titles from 300+ studios is far beyond the 1,200 HTML5 slots bundled with a Gambling Soft platform, and beyond the 21,000+ games of its official package.
When Gambling Soft is the better choice
- Your budget is under $60,000. A complete start with Violet ($8,500) and an Anjouan license ($28,000) is $36,500 plus hosting. A casino with a sportsbook (Nexus, $24,990) plus Anjouan is $52,990. On a rental model the setup fee alone can be in that range, and the revenue share continues after launch.
- You want to own the code. The source code is yours: you can change the design, add providers, move hosting, sell the business with its software, or build several brands on one platform without asking anyone.
- You plan an offshore license. Anjouan ($28,000) or Curacao ($75,000) with company registration are part of the Gambling Soft catalog, see the list of licenses. This is the typical route for crypto casinos and for operators targeting CIS, LatAm and Asian traffic without local licensing.
- You need to launch fast. A ready platform is technically live in 7 business days after the advance: installed, configured and accepting registrations. Real-money operation then depends on your license and payment providers, which Gambling Soft helps to connect.
- You want a fixed cost. Payment is one-time in three stages (advance, after the demo, after acceptance), with published prices and a 12-month warranty. No platform revenue share means your margin is not diluted as you grow.
Three-year budget example
Take a small casino that reaches $50,000 of monthly NGR by the end of year one and holds that level in years two and three. Round figures, hosting and marketing excluded on both sides.
| Cost item | SoftSwiss (third-party review figures) | Gambling Soft |
|---|---|---|
| Platform, one-time | $15,000 to $50,000 setup fee | $19,900 (OCEAN, source code) or $19,000 (platform source code) |
| Platform revenue share, 3 years | 5% to 15% of NGR: on roughly $1.5 million of cumulative NGR that is $75,000 to $225,000 | $0 |
| Official games | Included in the platform share | $5,500 once plus 15% of GGR on official games (if you add them; copies are included) |
| License | Your own, depends on market | Anjouan $28,000 with company registration |
| Support | Part of the platform agreement | 12-month warranty included; 40 hours of technical work $1,980 when needed |
| Three-year total, indicative | $90,000 to $275,000 plus license | About $55,000 plus the game share, if official games are used |
The gap grows with revenue: a rental model charges more the better you do, a purchase does not. The gap shrinks to zero, or turns the other way, when you need a certified platform for a regulated market, because certification and local approvals are exactly what the rental fee pays for.
How to decide in five questions
- Which markets and which license? Regulated EU or LatAm markets point to SoftSwiss; Anjouan or Curacao point to Gambling Soft.
- What is the launch budget? Under $60,000 all-in points to a purchased platform.
- Do you want to own and modify the code, or prefer a managed service?
- How fast do you need to be live? 7 business days versus 4 to 8 weeks.
- What margin can you give away? A revenue share of 5% to 15% is the difference between the two models over time.

FAQ
Is Gambling Soft a SoftSwiss alternative?
For new and mid-size operators, yes: it replaces a rented platform with a purchased one. Ready casino from $8,500, platform source code $19,000, launch in 7 business days, no platform revenue share. For enterprise operators in regulated markets, SoftSwiss remains the more suitable option.
How much does SoftSwiss cost?
SoftSwiss does not publish prices. According to third-party reviews (September 2026), the setup fee is about $15,000 to $50,000 and the platform share is 5% to 15% of NGR. Ask SoftSwiss for a quote before comparing.
Not on source-code products. Official games from providers such as Pragmatic Play and Evolution are paid as 15% of GGR on those games, and the white label option carries 8% of profit. HTML5 slots included with the platform have no share.
Can I get 40,000 games with Gambling Soft?
The official games package gives access to 21,000+ titles from 70+ providers for $5,500 plus 15% of GGR. About 1,200 HTML5 slots are bundled, and an extended HTML5 slots package adds 1,700+ titles for $1,650. For a catalog of 40,000+ titles SoftSwiss is the larger aggregator.
Which one launches faster?
Gambling Soft: a ready platform is technically live in 7 business days after the advance. Third-party reviews put a SoftSwiss launch at 4 to 8 weeks from contract.
