How much does it cost to open an online casino?

A ready casino platform with source code from Gambling Soft costs from $8,500 (Violet) to $47,500 (Velvet); a Telegram casino costs $5,200. Add a gaming license (from $28,000 for Anjouan with company registration), hosting and marketing.

How fast can a turnkey casino be launched?

A ready platform launches in 7 business days after the advance payment. Payment is one-time, in three stages, with a 12-month software warranty and UAT acceptance.

What is the difference between source code and white label?

With source code you get the full platform code on your server under a perpetual licence for a one-time payment: modify it and use it in any number of your own projects. White label costs one third of the source-code price plus 8% of profit and gives access to the admin panel without the code.

Which games and payments are included?

About 1,200 slots are included and can be expanded to 14,000+ games from 70+ providers; payments via bank cards and 20+ cryptocurrencies with automatic and manual payouts.

Do you help with a gaming license?

Yes: Anjouan ($28,000), Tobique ($50,000), Kahnawake ($60,000), Malta ($70,000) and Curacao ($75,000) licenses with company registration.

What do I pay after the purchase?

Only games: 15% of GGR for the official package, or 9%, 8%, 7% or 15% of the GGR of games in a turnkey package. The platform has no monthly fee. Hosting after the included period, domain, payment providers and marketing are your own contracts; optional support is $1,980 per 40 hours.

What rights do I get with the source code?

A perpetual licence to the full platform code on your server: modify it, use it in any number of your own projects and run casinos for other operators as a service (white label). Only the licensing module is encoded (3 files); the code may not be resold or transferred. Payment is in three equal parts and the warranty is 12 months.

SoftSwiss, Slotegrator, NuxGame, SoftGamings, BetConstruct, EveryMatrix, Digitain and Pragmatic Solutions rent a platform for a setup fee plus 5-30% of GGR or NGR; GammaStack builds custom projects.

How to read the table

Model. “Source code sold” means you own the platform after payment; “revenue share” means the vendor keeps a percentage of your gaming revenue for as long as you operate.
Price. Gambling Soft prices are the current price list, valid 30 days from the date above. Competitor figures are estimates from public reviews, not offers.
Three-year cost. At $30,000 GGR per month a 10% share is $108,000 over three years; a source-code casino at $8,500 plus hosting is about $15,700 in the same period (hosting as an industry estimate of $200 a month). See the white label vs source code guide for the full math.
Licenses. None of the prices above include a gaming license. Gambling Soft arranges Anjouan ($28,000) and Curacao ($75,000) with company registration; see licenses.

When a revenue-share platform is the better choice

You plan to enter regulated markets that require certified platforms (GLI-19 and local approvals), you expect GGR above $500,000 a month and need a vendor with a compliance team, or you want the vendor to run hosting, games and payments under its own licenses. SoftSwiss, EveryMatrix, BetConstruct and Pragmatic Solutions are built for that segment.

When Gambling Soft is the better choice

Your budget for software is under $60,000, you want to own the code and the player database, you operate under an offshore license (Anjouan, Curacao, Tobique, Kahnawake) and you want to launch in days rather than months. Ready casinos with source code start at $8,500 (Violet), casino plus sportsbook is $24,990 (Nexus), casino plus poker is $23,900 (Ace Poker), and turnkey packages with hosting and domain start at $7,500.

Detailed comparisons

FAQ

Which casino software vendor is the cheapest?

On the upfront price, Gambling Soft: a turnkey package from $7,500 or a ready casino with source code from $8,500. On the three-year cost, source code is cheaper than any revenue-share platform once the casino earns more than a few thousand dollars of GGR a month.

Which vendors sell source code?

Of the ten in this table, only Gambling Soft sells the full source code as a standard offer. GammaStack builds custom projects where code transfer is negotiated per contract; the others rent their platforms.

Are the competitor prices exact?

No. They are ranges from public reviews as of September 2026 and can differ by market and contract. Ask each vendor for a written offer.

Can I switch from a rented platform to source code later?

Yes, but it is a migration: players, balances and history move to the new platform. Gambling Soft helps with migration; the cost depends on the data volume.

How fast can I launch?

Gambling Soft installs and configures a ready platform in 7 business days after the advance; payment providers and the license run in parallel. Revenue-share platforms quote 4-8 weeks in reviews.
