The cost nobody puts on the invoice: the bankroll
License and setup fees are easy to price. The bankroll isn't, because it depends on your players. It has to cover your biggest possible payout, whenever it lands. With a $50,000 max win, one hit takes $50,000 in cash on the day, and three in a week take $150,000. That's cash you can't spend on growth while it sits there.
On MyCasino, it's ours.

Is $250k enough to start an online casino?
It depends on the route. At the cheapest end of a typical white label, $15,000 of setup plus 12 months of platform fees at $5,000 comes to $75,000, before a single ad, a dollar of bankroll or the provider's revenue share. Add your own Curaçao license, about $60,000 in year one, and it's roughly $135,000. At the top of the ranges, platform fees alone pass $250,000 in year one.
Into marketing and content, not fees.
With MyCasino, all $250,000 can go into marketing and content, because the platform, the license and the bankroll are ours. In exchange, we keep a share of your casino's revenue.
What MyCasino costs
You don't put in any money: no setup fee, no license fee, no bankroll. We earn a share of your casino's revenue. The split is agreed on the intake call and written into your contract.
