Casino cost. Break-even. In numbers.
Plug in your expected GGR and a platform's fees to see the all-in cost, the effective platform take, and how many months it takes to earn back the setup. Load a real provider's numbers or enter your own.
Presets fill setup and rev-share from our published data (lower bound). Tune any field.
3-year platform total cost of ownership: $354,000
Estimates only. Real quotes vary by market, volume and negotiation, and many providers do not disclose fees publicly. Figures assume a flat rev-share (no tiering) and exclude taxes, licensing and one-off integration work. Verify every number with the vendor before you commit.
How the break-even calculator works
The tool models the two things that actually decide platform economics: the one-time setup you pay upfront, and the ongoing take the platform keeps every month. It then shows how long your net keeps until you recover the setup.
- Platform cost per month = monthly fee + (revenue share % of your GGR).
- All-in Year 1 = setup + twelve months of that platform cost.
- Effective platform take = platform cost divided by GGR, the real percentage the vendor keeps.
- Your net per month = GGR minus platform cost minus your own marketing and operating costs.
- Break-even = setup divided by your monthly net, in months.
Two operators paying the same headline rev-share can have very different economics once setup and monthly fees are folded in. A zero-setup platform charging a higher rev-share can beat a cheap-looking one with a large upfront fee, and the other way round. That is the point of running the numbers rather than trusting a sticker price.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a white-label casino cost to run?
A typical mid-market white-label casino runs a setup fee, a monthly platform fee of a few thousand dollars, and a revenue share of roughly 8 to 15 percent of GGR. First-year all-in platform cost is commonly in the tens of thousands, before marketing. Enter your own numbers above for a specific estimate, or read the full cost breakdown.
What is a good revenue share for a casino platform?
For white-label deals, single-digit to low-teens percent of GGR is competitive. Turnkey and enterprise setups often trade a higher upfront cost for a lower or zero ongoing share. The right choice depends on your expected GGR, which is exactly what the effective-take number above shows.
How do I calculate casino break-even?
Break-even on the platform investment is the one-time setup divided by your monthly net contribution, where net is GGR minus platform costs minus your own marketing and operating costs. At higher GGR you recover setup faster, so break-even shortens as volume grows.
Are these fee figures accurate?
The provider presets use the lower-bound setup and rev-share figures we publish, drawn from public sources and editorial estimates. Many vendors do not disclose pricing, so treat every output as a planning estimate and confirm with the provider before signing.
