The house edge, in one example
A player deposits $200 and plays crash for an evening. Because they bet their wins again, that $200 can turn into $2,000 of total bets. At a 2% edge, the house expects to keep about $40.
- $200
- A player deposits and plays crash for an evening.
- $2,000
- Total bets, because they bet their wins again.
- $40
- What the house expects to keep at a 2% edge.
Any single night can go either way. Across thousands of players and millions in bets, the edge is what's left.

How you earn
You earn a share of your casino's revenue. We keep the rest, and it pays for everything in the table above, including the bankroll behind every payout.
The split depends on your audience, your markets and your plans. We agree it on the intake call and write it into your contract. Two things don't change:
- You don't put in any money to start.
- You never pay a player out of your own pocket. Wins come out of our bankroll. What is a casino bankroll?
Your settlements run in real time, the same as player payouts.
What moves your earnings
The platform runs the casino. What you control is the audience.
Every depositing player adds to the total wagered.
Races, raffles, VIP levels and bonuses are built in to keep them playing on your brand.
Creator-run casinos grow when the creator shows up: streams, promos and community events.
Players earn up to 20% commission for friends they bring in.
An example month
Illustrative numbers, not a forecast.
Your players wager $900,000 in a month. At an average 2% edge, that's about $18,000 of GGR. Take off $3,000 of bonuses and $15,000 of NGR is left. Your share is a percentage of your casino's revenue, as defined in your contract.
If someone hits a $50,000 win that month, it lowers that month's revenue, and your share with it, the way it would at any casino. What it never does is cost you cash: the payout comes from our bankroll. Your contract sets how a losing month is handled.
Is an online casino profitable?
Over enough bets, the house edge makes the casino's side of the table profitable. That isn't the same as every casino making money. New casinos get squeezed by three costs that arrive before the profit does: the platform, the license and the cash for payouts.
With MyCasino, those three are ours. What's left is the part you're good at: bringing players.
