Bitcoin Forum

Hey guys!

So I am interested in starting an online bitcoin casino, yet i have no idea how to start from.
I have a background in coding, and I know the in and outs of integrating crypto, yet i have zero game development skills, and i have no idea how much it will cost, and will it even get users.
Any help would be well appreciated! and looking for partners if anyone wants to start that.

Thank you!

If you want to start an online casino with zero game development skills, no idea for the cost, and no idea for marketing there is only one way to do this. You need some money to make it real.

You could buy a gambling license, buy a slots game license, and a good VPS. with that you could start your casino.

Or other way is to post in the services section with a bounty for a casino  ;)

You need to get more experience.

You can code, but have a zero development game on "CASINO/Gambling" market. IMO, you need to at least have some experience to created original-hash game created by your self. BANKROLL of the casino is the most important things you need to have for starting a casino.

We need a guarantee, that the casino can pay for the win otherwise people are not gonna to play on the casino. IMO, BANKROL still one of your priority and for created a casino some of company provided a service to created a casino. You can use that service, and hired a few people to maintenance the site.

It is great to see that you are thinking big OP, it is a really big aspiration that you have in mind and I think it is not impossible to achieve even with you not knowing everything presently. IMO, you don't necessarily need to know the complete in and out of how an online casino starts and operates. For every startup most times, there is something called the "mastermind", that is someone who who may not necessarily know everything or how to get things done but has created the mental picture and has the ability to put together a team to achieve his goal as in the case of Henry Ford of the ford automobile who didn't know much about how to build a V8 engine but was confident that he could motivate his engineers to achieve his goal and they did. Learn what you must, and get a complimentary team to assist for the other aspect that you cannot handle. I presume you have the financial backup to accomplish this plan, because it needs money and without money, ideas die.

Not really.

Most online casinos weren't made by one person. He needs a team, at the very least a partner and they need to hire a team.
For instance, he has some coding background, so let's assume he learns a bit and covers backend dev. He needs a front end guy, possibly another back end with experience in crypto wallets, unless they want to handle all deposits/withdrawals manually, in such case he needs someone trusted to manage the wallet. He'll need someone to handle all the advertising and promoting, someone to take care of support... That's not a one man job.

Then we should talk funds.
How much do you have at hand? If that's less than $100k it's going to be hard. You'll have to cut cost somewhere and limit bets to some small numbers like $10 so they won't break your bank, but by doing that your business will scream "i'm low on money" and it will deter players.

You need a team of talented developers in order to create the website and maintain it.You can help a lot with your coding skills for many other things as they go in the creation of your website.You of course need a gambling license and to get users since you are going to use crypto a good way is to run a signature campaign here for at least a couple of months as this is what big companies are doing.In the end it is no difficult if you have no idea at how to create a game,most reputable casinos buy the license from different game providers for example in the slot machines and they link their website to the slot providers,as easy as that.

If you want to do such you have to research very well and the follow steps of others who has a a casino game platform in this community so if you are in contact with them at least they will educate you with some certain code that they will use to associate or to operate with so in this kind of development that you want to bring in you would have enquire from the above people who have the idea of casino gambling platform and they know exactly how they operate and how they manage and they're on their platform with the cryptocurrency so after being that then you can launch it. I know for you to bring this year many people will borrow you a wisdom to work or need but ensure that what you are bringing to the community does not find any way to relate with scam

a lot of us here are most likely just gamblers. although we(or at least I) can have some suggestions on what gamblers look for on a gambling site, we(or at least I) don't know how much it'll cost to develop it or if will it get users after the gambling site's launch. It would be best for you to just hire a developer to build your gambling site and a marketing manager to advertise it to get the attention of possible gamblers.

In my opinion starting a casino implies having a lot of capital, do you have that much money to spend? you would need to create a beautiful casino, solve all issues related to the number of employees, issues related to payments because if someone wins a jackpot in your casino in the first few days you have to be prepared to pay that person who won the jackpot. And there's another big problem that is: with the huge increase in new casinos every day. you will need to have a good advertising budget for many months, for example i estimate that just to run a good signature campaign on this forum you would need to have a budget of 15000$ per month if you want to run a good campaign, not to mention that too you can pay for advertising on the forum and other sites. counting that you have to pay employees and expenses with the casino itself that. It will cost you a lot in the first few months and I doubt you will make much profit in the first few months. It is a business with a lot of money that you have to invest and it is very risky for these days

Recently one of the oldest casino ended its service. By that time, casino quoted a selling price of 2BTC. I don't know did someone bought it or not. To develop a new casino is no simple thing, it requires lots of efforts and lots of fund. Most of the gambling platforms initially start with only one game, and further increase the service with addition of more games.

I think you're not yet ready to own one. At least get some idea on how things would work because if you still have not that much experience in operations, developing would be an easy thing if you've got tons of money.

There are companies dedicated in making proto types that will sell to their customers that want to make their own casinos. But it's not all about that because you need to cover the whole thing like operations, security systems, marketing and many others.

That's why it's being said that you need tooooons of money for it.

That’s a very low price and probably will have a buyer right away especially if they already have a good traffic on their site. I agree that doing gambling is not easy at all since its not just about the numbers and encoding the data, it takes a lot of team effort and of course will take a lot of funds. So OP, if you still have a limited knowledge about it, look for a team that can help you and willing to invest along with you, because you must create an interesting site to at least enter into the competition and attract gamblers as well.

Hiring professionals are the best way to create a good site but of course it will take a lot of money from you first, though you already have knowledge about putting the codes I still think a one man team can’t handle everything on creating a gambling site. Its not a plug and play site, it requires a lot of work and a lot of money. OP look for a good team, those who are interested in gambling as well discuss your proposals and start working with it slowly but surely.

It’s ok to if you have zero experience in developing the games since you can just hire someone to do this job, i just don’t know the possible cost on setting up your own casinos but I think, it really requires a lot of money. Talk about your capital first, look for the important things before rushing into creating your own casino, there’s a lot of things that needs to address first, having a license can also be your problem here.

Starting a successful gambling business requires funds. Lots and lots of funds. There are no easy ways to do it. It requires heavy investment to start a new casino business. And gambling businesses are one of the riskiest endeavors available. This is a fact.

A good way to start a successful casino business is to start with the small ones. These businesses will be easier to get into, will attract a smaller amount of risks, and will probably be profitable within the first year.

Even then, a good casino business requires money, time and patience to grow and get bigger. You need money for buying licenses, paying staff, advertising and other expenses. But most importantly, you need money for the house bankroll. You need to build a cash reserve to prevent the business from collapsing once the first big payout comes in.

Study first how the industry works since if you have zero knowledge about how gambling industry works most provably you will fail for that. I guess you need to pay someone who have great experience with this like an advisor or even experience gambling site operator because for sure they can help you out build the business what you want to  placed here.

If you have funds, you can always contact gambling game providers and bookmakers to integrate them into your planned casino.  You also need a person that is well experienced in financial management since money will be the oil to your engines of plans.  So basically you need a team of experts in every department such as marketing, R&D, finance, legal, etc, to at least increase your chance of success in the gambling industry.

can't help with knowledge but can send you some good luck wishes in your dream. everything is possible if you have a good heart.

^ Expecting that this needs a huge fund to sustain the project and you are definitely right, OP cannot do this alone, he needs a team for this but the problem is how he starts to have a team. It is better probably if he has a team that he knows personally, nowadays it is hard to trust someone on the internet, we always doubt strangers because this always happens and most of them are scammers. That is now the possible problem of the OP, how he will start to have a partners.

the gambling and crypto industry has become extremely competitive. without a project a clear idea of what you want to accomplish... You are risking simply to waste time and money.

over the years I have collaborated with various gambling companies.
a common aspect of all projects is to understand what the competitors are offering and what the market is looking for.
You can start from this point and then start developing your plan.

good luck with your project, contact me privately for some ideas or suggestions ;)

Don't start if you don't have marketing skills and you don't have money to start with, money and marketing skills are two of the most important thing if you want to start a project if you're really interested get to know the in and out of gambling casinos and how these big online casinos work and how they promote their casinos, it's hard to begin a venture where you have little knowledge and will just learn as you go along.

Starting from being a player play on many casinos to see their functionalities casinos are very much different from other sites you have to have the love of the game, not just money, and yes its better to start with knowledgeable partners than doing it alone.

wow i missed this, what casino are you talking about? and a casino from here on the forum?


selling for 2 bitcoin seems too high to me, because the client is just buying the script, I know there will be games, but I need to see that the client will have to have money for the bankroll, money to pay employees' salaries, money to promote the casino for many months, especially if it is an old casino, the new customer will be forced to contact the campaign manager (if he had any campaign in the past) in order to run a signature campaign that is of the same or a higher quality level (I am speaking of participant payout values) so that it attracts established casino customers. anyway it won't be easy

In my opinion, the OP should forget about this possible business venture.
From my impression, he is not ready to tackle this gambling business.
And he may just end up with launching a substandard online casino, which will only last short-time.
He will just waste his resources if he can't find a good financial backer that will go all in.
His background is only on coding, that's a small part only in this business.
Don't think of creating a crap casino that will deceive users. Better look for other business that you think you can do better.

It's good that you have a goal or plan but it will get you nowhere if you don't have a clear plan and money, defer your plan and get to know everything that you need to know about running a casino, because it involves a huge amount of money and a great marketing skills marketing skills start with the casino itself, if you know little about casino your chances to suceed is zero so learn first before looking for partners to start your casino.

That's also unpredictable how much fund because every little detail is also counts to make a new casino, whether it's marketing costs, staff, platform games, etc. Even to start a new dice site gambling requires a lot of funds, so that gamblers are interested to beating you site. Finding investors is also not easy, when you create a large scale project like a casino you must have very experienced people to be successful.

OP, I am afraid you may be underestimating the work and investment necessary to open an online casino.
It is okey if you have experience with coding, but I am afraid these kinds of ventures need also people to take care of marteking, graphic design, security, book-keeping, perhaps even a lawyer etc.
That means you will likely need to hire and pay thousands of dollars only in competent personel to help you to start your business and of course, you must be aware that the competition is hard, you would be fighting against well-known and reputable casinos for the attention of the players/gamblers, you would be initially in disadvantage because you would be new and you need to build your reputation.

So please before starting this kind of project, do some math and research and calculate a budget for your casino during the first 6 months or first year, which would be likely the toughest ones.

You could also try and find a job in one of the existing casinos as programmer, so you can gather some experience and contacts within this world. Good luck!

I do not see any clear goal on your part in establishing a casino.

You lack experience in casino business. I suggest you get some from existing online casinos by working under them  as a developer or coder since you already got that skill. Then you can observe from within how a casino is run and managed, their selling points and the costs.

Next is established what can set you apart from other online casinos. If unique enough, that will get you your user base.

Having knowledge in coding and crypto is not enough to survive in casino business. That is common and you can just hire people to do that for you. What you need to have is good management and business skills and a clear goal.

Good luck with your endeavours.

That was a tough and difficult task as you don't know anything. At least if that's your plan, you have already done your homework for a long, not by asking here, but by engaging in real-life persons that involve in such activity. I also doubt that you will find a partner here since what will be your contribution as you don't know anything.

Not discouraging you but it's better to talk that around your circle so that you will not find a random partner here that might take advantage of you.

Building and running a casino should not just because you are interested in it. As I mentioned above, try to find some people around your circle first.

I don't want to give another bad approach even though we are just saying real facts here. It's hard to deal with a business with something you really didn't know.

I also doubt casino operators here will reply to give you the specific information you are asking for.

For a start maybe you can make a thread here: Project Development (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=12.0)

You might encounter lurkers that want your idea. Just be careful though.

I will recommend setting up your own team who are familiar with marketing, graphic and UI design, administrators, and a lawyer. These are essential as the background and design of the casino must be inviting to the point where it catches the attention of potential gamblers. I also recommend creating a designated "mascot" which represents the whole theme of your gambling website.

I mentioned that you needed a lawyer in order to familiarize yourself with the current laws of your country. This is practically needed in order to secure licenses, permits, taxes, and to know if creating an online gambling casino is prohibited on your given state/country.

This is a niche that is already quite saturated, but it is also expanding.
There are a number of factors to consider... from legal issues to website platforms.

As much as you know about programming and cryptography, I recommend the purchase or development of a robust web interface and integration with already reputable platforms, this will save you time and at the same time you will be able to put a very vast portfolio of games on your website.

Another important aspect... you need to have a lot of money at the beginning, both to pay the slots platforms and also to offer bonuses to players in order to attract their attention until your site manages to get a steady and organic flow of players.

For the Devs, I am full-stack dev, and I have experience with crypto wallets as well.
It is just that, I am a perfectionist and I like to learn everything before I jump in.
For the funding, honestly I am under 100K in budget, i wanted to start a small casino at first, just to gain experience and see where it goes from there.
Yet, i prepare hope for the best.

Thanks for the replies guys, i will look more into this, and hopefully i will try to start a very small casino! will keep you posted of course.

All you need is a Team , you cannot handle this alone because there are several casino sites here that runs long now that still trying to cope single or 2 person involving in which resulting to lack of response and support to the issues and problems.

maybe best to at least post in service section that you are looking for a team and experts to help you run a site .

but looking forward to your plans because you seems to be seriously wanting to have a gambling business in crypto space.

It doesn't look very good what the OP is proposing, after all the answers, mainly about having a good bankroll and having a team to work with, not trying to do it on his own, he seems hell bent on doing it his own way:


Good luck with your project, but I would take things slower to learn more about the industry, surround myself with a team, and maybe look for an investor or funding in some way to back up the bankroll.

Yeah, keep us updated, although something tells me that if your project is a disaster you won't be coming around here much to update.

If done right, setting up an online casino can be very profitable as many people start an online casino business and then get discouraged because they don't know where to start.
and all you need to have is marketing experience, affiliate experience, live casino experience and most importantly, sufficient knowledge and capital to do so.
it's good to learn everything well so you don't make a wrong move and a strategy that will make you lose and regret, it looks easy but it's not as easy as you think because there will be many obstacles that you will face even unexpectedly.

Basically he can do it alone in his starting stage as long as he knows everything about how online casino works. I think there were some casinos that started by single person and the owner handle it alone. A team is better obviously but it is hard to find trusted people to be in a team especially it is related to money. Looking at how he describes himself, yes he needs a team but he needs a decent amount of money as well to start a casino. To have a decent casino, it requires a lot of money to start in order to be competitive with the other existing casinos.

At least you are truthful in your plans mate , not pretending to be a Big company but once the withdrawal comes? then problem will occur and scam will take place.

best to start a small casino because at least gamblers knew what they are entering and what to expect , not to seek too much .
Hope that your site will be one the most established in the future , and willing to try and take part in your plans.

Everyone has a dream to have their own gambling place but when they want to build it, they must have very skilled programmers and of course they must have very strong capital because so far many have tried to make gambling places and ended up running aground because they did not have a foundation. and strong support because finance and programming skills are needed to build a gambling place that is attractive and liked by many people.

Plans like this will succeed if a person has the eagerness to reach the requirements needed to establish a good casino site. You could start up with a small casino site but you really have to be equipped with knowledge on how to build one and enough information on how to operate it. You also need to be financially ready. You honestly can't do it alone and you need professional manpower. You can get ideas from reputable sites.

Without knowing about bitcoin it is difficult to starting bitcoin casino. if you haven’t knowledge about development or about marketing then it is not a big problem. In this case you can hire a dev and marketing manager. But if you Don't know about cryptocurrency and how to work bitcoin casino then how can you control your site?

You don't have to create the game yourself. There are tons of game providers in there that you can use to run your casino. All you have to take care of is the security of your platform and its design to make it look pleasing to the eye. You already know how to integrate cryptocurrencies in your platform so I guess you would just need to beef up your platform in terms of functionality. Once that's done, all that's left is for your advertisement game to do its charm and get new players interested in your casino.

The big question is how's your betting experience, have you played long enough to know, or are you familiar with how a casino works, so much depend on this so you have an insight on casino operations based on your perspective as a player if you're going to run a casino because you want the money side of it or its challenging for you, better think twice you will find yourself in big trouble and money wasted, dig deep and have the passion.

I think that you should act in this way:

- Prepare a business plan that is really important considering what do you want to do.

- Buy a gambling license from Curaçao, this will help you, this is first step to have some credibility.

- Buy slot game, and also a sportsbook.

- Hire frontend developer, support, and community manager, and start.

It seems to be easy, but be sure that is really hard to do !

Making a casino from scratch is possible, Finding decent partners and talented developers is one key  to create one but your idea of what kind of crypto casino is the most important one. As we know, Crypto casinos is a very competitive space. You mostly need new or innovative concept to make your casino a spotlight.

I've seen many casino that has a good gambling sites that didn't thrive. Casino's are fighting on their marketing to gather gamblers by doing signature campaign, promotions, social media tractions, partnerships and other type of marketing just to make them know by the gamblers. All of these requires a deep pocket since you will spend money to survive and gain traction in your casino.  Remember that even those established casino are still doing marketing because it's how the crypto casino survives.

Starting a casino is not easy, but it is also not tough, but it is quite complicated when you do not have the resources to get started. When you want to build your own casino, you need cash to pay your employees, you don't start a casino with a little budget, as what happened to Bitlucy (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5403679.0). They started successfully, but owing to a shortage of cash, they had to close down, and some forum members reputation was harmed because some players were unable to withdraw their winnings.
Also, don't forget to have skilled developers that can handle the backend extremely well, you don't want players complaining about missing funds, missing bonuses, or anything else that will make them uncomfortable.

Money is all you do need because you could really able to move and find appropriate team members or hiring professionals for such job but of course you should really still make yourself aware on how this business works.

You cant just shell out some money without knowing everything but since op does have some knowledge about coding then its also a good skill to have at least but in most cases where funds or budget would be relevant

and the next one is to find out and make proper planning on what gambling site you are tending to built on.Also, dont anticipate that it would really be ending up on being  successful because considering the current
competition on crypto gambling industry then it would be surely tough and if you wont really be offering something good or interesting then dont expect that people would really be hanging into your new built site.
So success wont really be an assurance.

OP mentioned that he has a 100k budget. I don't know if it's on USD value or what. If OP will hire professionals, I think those will not be partnered with him but rather they will just offer OP their service. Since that's the case, OP still needs to find team members and that's another set for the budget.

As I said, OP can consult first those people around its circle. OP can refer to gambling companies that operate online casinos on their local for business consultation. These companies might help OP since, in the first place, there's a decent budget and might be a partnership. The crypto-integration is now the role of OP.

I have never seen a gambling casino representative here that gives pointers to those who want to establish an online casino that's why it will be hard for OP to find the right people here. That's how difficult to start an online gambling casino with 0 knowledge.

No idea about how much it will cost you to fully build and running Bitcoin casino but if you are not sure where to start then how about creating the domain name first. It is a business after all so, about casino owners didn't give tips for ideas to people who wanted to create their own casino as they don't want to have a competition.

or better yet, look for another business and not gambling business. gambling business needs a large capital even if you want to start small. because what if there's big winnings, how can you pay the player? unless, you will limit their winnings and you will have an arrangement when it comes to payment. there are so many factors to consider in setting-up a casino. the OP should be prepared to face those possible bottlenecks.

That's much better than creating your own casino when you are not a developer skills and also the cost of hiring a person to help manage the site. I don't think it would be easy to manage a casino all alone. So, I think the total cost won't be small amount though you may get it all back once there are gamblers gambling on your site or your site did become successful.

Budgeting will require a lot for him to have that casino that he's thinking of establishing but it won't just go down with money, knowledge about coding and if he's not really into codes, money will suffice that part as he can hire someone who's good at it.
But, he needs to have a good negotiation skills for him to have someone accept the job but basically, there are a lot of devs that would like to take care of a job like this.

First of all, I just want to tell you that your idea is good, you have the skills needed to start a website, an online casino. But I highly suggest that you need to have a team for it, it will help you to create plans, develop the website and you need some marketing strategies for this project since we have a lot of online casino right now.  It is not good to have a one man team in this project, you need a help, no matter how much skills you do have right now still you need someone help, you can't focus in different things. You need also a capital that will be more enough for security and database of your website.

You have almost summarized everything in your answer.

- Since he has programming experience, he will need to develop that experience to be able to supervise the development process of the platform’s programming, including improvements, additions, and updates. This does not mean that he does the work himself, but at least improves his skills to be able to supervise who will delegate him to carry out the task, which is preferable to be a partner and not an employee, at least at the beginning of the project.
- He will have to use one of the payment gateways to supervise the withdrawal and deposit operations to be done automatically because doing this manually will cause a lot of time to be wasted. This is until it is possible to program a payment system for the platform without the need to purchase the service from automated payment gateways that may not provide sufficient support when needed. Of course, the owner of the capital is the one who must fully control the hot wallet of the platform.
- For promotions and advertisements, the best place to do this is the Bitcointalk forum, but you need to hire a trusted moderator to do these operations. This will increase the credibility of the platform and increase the demand for it.

Finally, with regard to the support team, support workers must be assigned to cover their work shifts 24 hours a day, provided that their supervisor is in direct contact with the other three departments: the development department, the payments department, and the advertising department. This will help them respond to users' questions and help them overcome difficulties while using the platform.

Start off with a game of Plinko which is really just an ancient maths problem and relates to a standard equation you can program probably quite easily.   Everyone recognizes the game and can gamble right away, after you establish the basics of the site it allows you to build it up into something more diverse but basically gambling is very distributive and progressive I think

Not intending to do this alone at all, actually i am learning more and trying to understand the business and learning from this thread as well as taking every advice into account.

Thanks a lot for the feedback however.

There will be so much homework that you must think, plan, and prepare, dude. Clearing an online casino may be easy when only creating. But,t hsi will be difficult when related to managing and building the online casino until get many users. We must not only think about the profits that we can gain by having an online casino but also how much we must spend in building and developing the platform. This is also not easy. It will depend on how you make the progress. you do not only need the platform but also need promotion parts, safety, backend and front end, and other elements.

There's nothing wrong with casinos that have small bankrolls since casinos need to start somewhere right? If winnings become an issue then a feature like casino investments could be an option, it used to be popular back then as it's one of the ways to increase the site's max profit and encourage high rollers.

For OP, the only thing I could suggest is to look for similar threads with the help of the search button at the upper right, as you might find a helpful thread that'll give you some information like this one for example.
How to Start a Bitcoin Casino/Sports Gambling Business (Checklist) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5131758.0)

If you have a lot of money in hand then you can overcome your shortcomings and create a very good casino in which people would like to play, but if that is not the case then it is going to be difficult for you to succeed, and this is because a casino is a very money intensive business, after all even if you could do everything yourself and you could overcome all the obstacles that are in your way if you do not have money to add to your balance then no player will want to play at your casino, since the maximum bet will need to be incredibly low and you will discourage whales from gambling at your casino.

That is the challenge of creating a Casino especially when we don't know all the aspects of the Casino business.  He can do an in-depth research, a feasibility study, and even consult Casino specialists and ask for pointers on how to build one.


Business doesn't work that way.  He needs to find the right person for the job.  There are lots of millionaires who failed to set up a successful business because they failed to get the right people.  Besides, in the crypto industry, he can always ask for crowdfunding if his plan is feasible but somehow short of funding.

You will only lose your time and money if you have no idea how start a business like a this one.

First of all you’ll need lots of money. You’ll need a team of devs, lawyers, customer support etc. You’ll probably beed some casino licenses if you are going to deal with FIAT.

You’ll need to know some basic programming too. Otherwise devs will fuck you over easily.

Just forget about it and invest your money in crypto

I really appreciate how he thinks big. Why you want him to forget about the whole subject.
If he has enough money, I don't see anything stopping him from trying it. I think it is good that he chose the forum to ask his questions, and he can at an advanced stage present the idea of ​​the project in the "Project and Development" section to search for partners. There are many trusted members who can provide the necessary support. I didn't like that you were trying to dissuade him from the idea.

Why do you want to start your own bitcoin casino? To be honest with you, you are a bit late to the online casino boom. We saw in 2020/2021 a big increase in new casinos that tried to take over market share from the old casinos who have been around for many years. Due to the covid pandemic online gambling was the only alternative since most physical casinos were closed during the lockdown. It seems that you are starting from the beginning and have no prior experience in the gambling industry. It requires a lot of knowledge, time and money to run a casino and I am not sure if you have that. Having a background in coding is a good starting position, I am just not sure about the business side. A cheap gambling licence already cost 10,000 USD, on top of that you need money for the website, infrastructure, support team and legal team. Plus you need to have a decent bankroll to start with in case a gambler gets lucky and hits a jackpot very early on. It's not guaranteed that you will make money in the first year of running a new casino. How about you work first in the industry? You could look for a job at an existing casino and get some knowledge and save up some money.

He can do without live support, this is not that important. I've worked with online service providers that had just 1 dedicated support employee who worked from home and wasn't there 24/7. Users were able to choose between emailing support or filling in a form on site that created a "ticket" for the employee. The employee was paid hourly and was supposed to check the email 2-3 times a day and answer all tickets as they appear. Live support starts making sense once you get popular.




With that budget a good idea would be to do some research and focus on one game. Don't build a whole casino but rather a gaming site for one type of gambling, pretty much what primedice did in 10 years ago, just maybe not with dice, that ship has sailed. There are ways to gamble that don't require a a big bankroll, for instance sports betting, all types of lotteries, gambling with online game items, like those csgo chests or rust items.
Choosing the right "branch" you can cut the money needed to start the project to the minimum and focus all your money on securing a domain and building a site.

Good luck!

You should not do this alone of course it's not your typical site, but there's legality and proper functioning of all the features not to mention marketing and advertising it, its a passion first and money second, players can easily tell if a casino just wants to make fast bucks, you have to serve your clients first and give them what they want and at the same time properly implementing all your rules and what's on your TOS, you'll know this if you're playing long enough.

Having atleast one online support would be beneficial to the platform especially for a gambling casino. However, I think it's best for a casino to provide their users some way of contacting them 24/7 as issue may arise anytime especially withdrawal, deposits or any concern that involves money or crypto. One way would be thru Telegram supports or other community groups. Having these kind of support would be easy to find and cost efficient.

I kinda agree with this one, with the limited budget that OP have. It is best to focus it on a single but unique game that will attract it's users to the platform and keep them from coming back.
I must say, 100k maybe a lot to a regular person but not for financing a gambling company. OP has limited option on how he will be able to start up his company but it is not impossible. Also, I think it would be best if he try to contact other casino out there or atleast someone who is willing to partner with him to increase or posibly limit expenses.

You wouldnt really be getting some advice since they do know that it could really be a potential competitor for them thats why giving out some hints and ideas then it would really be out of their interest.  ;D

Therefore it would really be hard to get some advice and recommendations for those people who are currently working or owning crypto gambling sites as of this moment.I do agree on the idea
about getting first some familiarization or even with the basics to those who are around specially on local i guess.

Getting or snipping out some idea and make yourself be aware on this business is a must or crucial because you arent shelling out small budget on here.

Therefore, OP can't find any technical help here but rather just advice and suggestions. In any business, there should be already knowledgeable about it before building it. But were to gain that knowledge for those zero knowledge? By putting lots of time into studying any related fields regarding that.

OP needs to explore the right person for it by doing some research that was also based on his country or a place nearby. With the budget and capital mentioned by OP a few pages before, it can be used as cost to form a sponsorship. Much better if it's nearby to OP so they can set up physical meetings to discuss everything from scratch.

True that setting up a business needs a careful study of every aspect. So basically, one shouldn't rush things out, he should commit ample time to organize the plan, study the feasibilities and finding right people.  Business done in a rush will produce half-baked products and services so @OP take your time in carefully planning and establishing your planned Casino.
   

Maybe learning from the many threads on this forum can help him a lot. What he has to prepare is a casino that is ready to operate by having a team that manages the casino well and don't forget to prepare a security team that will keep the casino site safe. After that, he can come back here again to say that all the preparations are almost done so that we can give other suggestions that might make the casino site even better. But clearly, building a site takes time to develop properly so that it can provide satisfaction for its customers.

Hey,

Although there are many online bitcoin casinos successfully operating already, for us gamblers the more the better. They are competing with each other for users, and hence users enjoy more nice promos, lower house edges, and stuff.

So, I'm always glad when someone  wants to open a new casino.  If you want my advice, here it is. First find money, a million USD at least. Then come here on this forum and start hiring. I think, it is pretty much possible that your project will be successful in the end, but remember, first, the money. Otherwise you will look like someone just fantasizing.

These forums are very interesting and you get to see some very good advices by the senior gamblers.
Try doing your research and get advice of some of the senior members and then then make a decision depending on your region.

Very interesting business idea, but you can't possibly build it with just a coding background. This business is interesting but I think building an online casino is not as simple as you think. there is a mechanism and a process that you have to go through and I think you understand it on the matter.

So before you can build an online casino, you need to get a gambling license.
to make this happen, you have to look at the requirements.The biggest problem for most people is the investment required, including all costs, I think licensing is quite a financial burden unless you have a healthy capital.

I suggest you not to try to economize on optimizing your page, as abusers can quickly turn your budget into zero. If you go through gambling sections and search for casino named Bitlucy, you might find an example how in one day bunch on cheaters ruined new project. Learn from their experience! Another suggestion - do not rush to start, test everything hundred times, make bug bounty. Because it is easy to ruin reputation in a second, and you might even never recover.

Although in your last post here you appreciated all the feedback and post here I would like to add mine and that is forget it you have zero game development skill and don't know how to get users so in short, you don't deserve to be an admin you'll waste your time and money, running a casino is a career, start your career first as a player when you are good at being a player then you can set your goal to be a casino operator, and don't be to hurry the competition is very stiff on this industry.

License is not that important to be the 1st to get before building an online casino. It is not effective to get a license first, better to build the casino first and license can be gained once the casino is ready to be launched. What's the point of having a license but you have not even started to build the casino?  In my logical thought, the product is the first one to be focused on while license is a secondary thing.

I suggest you gain good experience first before you build your own online casino. Even if you have good amount of money, that won't guarantee that your casino will work as easy as that. It's always best that you are well knowledgeable first on the type of business that you are going to put into, otherwise if you can't work with small smatters, its impossible to expect it to succeed or make a progress. Yes, you could buy a gambling license, or any game license you want, but at least you should be a good player first since its always a good base to succeed.

Honestly i wont really be taking some advise generally on this place specially into those people who dont actually have that the experience on running this type of business.You could definitely differentiate into those

people who do have actual idea and to those people who are just simply riding with the waves and just posting up some common sense matter but in speaking with technicality ideas and preparations then
this is where you could really see to those people who do have actual knowledge.

On building a big business something like this and have allocated big funds then you should really be seeking out some professional help and making out some
opinion check into this forum if you do have some doubts which for sure we do have some knowledgeable people on here when it comes to that manner.

and specially like what i said? it is their truthfulness because in gambling we are talking about money and not just smaller but a big in case of jackpot or big wins.

so telling people here that he small casino will keep the players distancing from playing with big capital because they will limit their way to gamble and be safe when become lucky to win bigger .

I think that the creation of a high quality casino is within the power of the development team if there is an interested investor with a large amount of funds, and it is extremely difficult to build such projects alone.

That's right. As long as the development team can work together seriously and always put the common interest first, the casino can definitely develop well and when it is released it can get the attention of many people. They can also attract investors who want to come to invest and as long as the development team can provide what is useful for investors, other investors will also invest in the project. But it is not easy to find people who are dedicated to work together on a project and that also takes time.

If you dont have a skills to create a gambling casino but you have a budget why not hire other people if you don't want you can learn it by your own but of course it tooks how many weeks and months before you finish your own  gambling casino, also if you want to create of course you need to explore it what are the things inside the gambling casino so you can add those features to your own at the same time. Currently there are a lot of people already making gambling casino as a freelancer but of course take care of those to hire not all people are trust worthy.

Yeah I will have to agree with what most people are saying in this thread. If you cannot make it yourself and you do not have the money to buy the people who can make it for you, then you are out of luck. There is no way for you, a online-casino-newbie to put hard work into your project therefore I doubt you will find any investors who will be interested unless you are very slick at talking. You can try crowdfunding. But you need to show a very detailled and nice idea of the project before anyone will even be interested in listening.

Sometimes it's better if you have the money but don't have the skills.  :D Licensing is one of the problems, you have to know something about rights on using their games and other stuff. With that, you may need someone who knows something about the law.
Marketing is next. Even if you acquire all the pieces together from employees to monitor the business to the manager that will supervise everyone, you will need someone or a group to preach the gospel on social media where a lot of people assemble and forums like this one.
Posters in the park are not the thing anymore for advertising.

OP mentioned a budget although we are not sure if that's enough. But regardless of whether the mentioned budget is good or not, that's not enough to start a business where there's no knowledge about anything. OP mentioned he knows how to code and integrate crypto on something but the idea might be different in terms of building a casino website

I know the reason for this thread was to gather information as OP didn't know everything. He's in the right place to ask that question here but mainly, it's reasonable to see that he will only receive suggestions and advice here that is out of the technical aspect that he really wants to know.

Since OP has a budget and can offer to pay a service, he can look at his co-fellow coders who may be familiar with building a casino website or have experience in doing it in the fiat online casinos field. Since OP is familiar with how to integrate crypto on the website, that's the only thing he needs to work on now.

to create a casino gambling place it will require a very large amount of money capital and at least the founder must understand the digital world or at least be able to programming languages because if you only rely on money and do not have computer science to build a gambling website system then one day when the developer who is recruited comes out it will be confused and can't check the system for bugs or not so that it can make this gambling owner not exposed to fraud as often happens in cyberspace.

It would really be needing huge amount of money because this is a business that really needs to be set up properly.
Consider the ff:

1. Site Bankroll
2. Site design UI/UX
3. Support or staff members
4. Security
etc.....

You cant really just not put emphasis on this key areas because it would really be such a waste if your business ending up on a
failure just because you hadnt put up emphasis nor importance.

I have worked with start up projects before and I have never seen a single serious project with less than $50000 USD seed capital. Usually it is even $100000 USD funding that they require from multiple investors or self-funding.

As far as Online Gambling Casinos go, especially considering the risk of having people win large amounts of money that you HAVE TO pay out immediately, I don't think that casinos will need less than double or even triple of that of regular projects.

So I am going to take a guess and say that no less than $100000 USD is going to bring you very far, even if you save on developer cost by being a developer yourself.

If you want to do business especially for online casinos, there are: [GUIDE] 10 complete steps for new casino into this forum. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5388270.0), which you need to understand first.

You can see and read the initial steps first, before starting to make a Bitcoin casino.

If you want to become one of the online gambling partners, there are several things you need to understand and research, so that you can become a good and trusted partner, For that you need a long time and certainty to start the gambling you want to play is more interesting and professional.

Before becoming an online gambling partner, all you need to do is find a master partner or the owner of the largest and most trusted online gambling site in this forum, the master or owner can be your guidance as long as you are a partner, and then what you need to do and prepare is capital, the goal is that you can create a paid website and at the same time for bonuses and buy games that are entered into your website, the bottom line: you need to know in advance the masters of online gambling partners and the owners of the largest online gambling sites.

Freelancers can never be relied upon in this field because they simply will not be able to prove their experience with previous projects. For someone who only has money and some programming experience, the most logical solution is to look for partners from the forum who will help develop a business plan with all the sufficient guarantees, and the escrow services can be used.

You can prove it, for instance with references. If someone built a site, they can ask the owner to confirm it and this way you have a good enough proof that someone can be trusted with the job.
It's even easier when it comes to graphic designers. All of them have portfolios and you can see if you like their work beforehand.

I feel like OP should start from getting money. A loan or maybe a wealthy partner could help. With less than 100k you're going to waste money and have a site that's not competitive on the market.

It is never easy to create a crypto Casino except op has huge amount of fund to make this happen. You need to understand that you will need a lots of money for ads and ambassadors to maintain and have better reputation about your casino. Gamblers need to have trust in a gambling platform for them to keep gambling on it. Most if this casinos that are called scam once started as a neutral or good casinos before they changed hands. Also running a signature campaign can also help.

It should be the minimum considering from having capital then it wouldnt really be just enough i must say thats why i do really agree into your inputs about capital and since this is a big business then you cant just
put up less considering that there are lots of things need to be adjusted or fixed or to be set up then it wont really be that enough.When you are complete noob about expenses or something then you should
really consult someone who do have actually the idea and knowledge on building up these platforms from top to bottom but be careful that you wont really be dealing on someone who would really be taking some
advantage of your no knowledge which they can charge you up even more than as usual.This is the hard part when you are dealing on a business which you dont have even the basic idea.

"Time is money." Not always, not in every situation, but in business you can say that, okay?
If you have funding, you can hire whoever you want, and they will be working together on your project as long as necessary, overtime, whatever. But if you have only your genius idea and no money, and you want to gather a team for working on the idea to profit later ... Well, that happens only in movies and among some teenagers, literal or intellect-wise.

What if he can be one of the customers first where he will also play gambling inside a casino and who knows maybe he will get lucky and win a big jackpot there. That will be a way a nice way to achieve his dream or he can also use his skill to earn and save up some money. He had a nice skill which was still in demand nowadays and the pay for that skill is also high. That one is more surer than gambling. Having some skill can be helpful in creating our own gambling site but nowadays there are now services which can do the job for you. The only thing that you will be needing is a good amount of money to pay for their service and also to keep your site running.

Even winning on a casino or saving up money on what he earn isn't that sufficient enough to run a medium type size online casino. Remember that you can't be on a budget on making a casino, There are many things that you need to pay like license, security, developers, bank roll and other factors in it. This is why I think the sole money from just saving on what he earns is not enough. Investors and partners are possible if the casino is ready to operate. Investors and partners is the one that can help you in making the casino grow and market it to the community. I wouldn't think the investors would invest in a conceptual casino, They would basically choose running casino over that conceptual casino.

It will be more ideal and profitable in the end if you as an online casino owner is also skilled and a good player from the start. Because the fact is, you can’t be good or successful enough if you are not a pro in most of the games because your experience will reflect the future success of your planned endeavor. And I don’t think looking a potential partner will solve that, at least you, yourself can be a good solution in the first place.

You do not really have to be skilled and to be a good player before you start a casino or any other gambling company, if you have the money, you can start a gambling company that is fully licenced by the sport regulatory organisation in your country. You can get skilled people to work for you. No matter what, as more people gamble using your site, the more you earn more money.

I think with advertisement it will costs around 4-5 btc to start. This price if you will do the site and everything else by yourself (I doubt that you will be able). So 2-3 btc is for:

- Advertisement (On Google, on other sites, on gambling forums, on bitcointalk)
- payments to the winners (we are honest casino, are we? )
- salary to managers, SMM and so on (at least for 2-3 first month)

But i think the final result will be (FOR SURE) bigger (maybe in 1.5-2 times)

And as an additional note to OP, that was just a sample figure. Along the way, there are unexpected things that might ruin the original budget.

The budget should be continued and not fixed that's why while spending too much on the operation, make sure the site is already functioning with only less technical problems raised, as much as possible. While the team is doing their best on the development, make sure that heavy and hard marketing is also in progress at the same time.

With the competition nowadays, marketing is really critical and should be a top priority. Not just that, the team should also think of a way to attract users as advertisements are useless if there's no catchy promotion on the website.

I guess you need something like business consultant for gambling to give you more specific advice and process in a legal way. Only if you want it to make a legal business.

Opening a gambling business surely will involve a large sum of money from development to deployment and marketing, even aftersales stage.

Now, if you want it to make a DIY way if you don't have enough funds for this and not considering a license, the I guess you should focus on the design, the smoothness of the system, the funds of it.
You should note too that most people in gambling industry preferred playing to licensed ones. Although others preferred not since unlicensed casino means no KYC involve.

I believe there are many other things one should look at to earn decent money.
The gambling is not profitable all the time - and sometimes it is more a torture than blessing. So better be careful before landing into the world on gambling - its not easy to get out of it.

Online casino is indeed a good business but it's not that easy to build it even if you are knowledgeable in coding. Even if you manage to create the website alone and get it a license, you will need other staffs that will help you to manage the platform. You will need to think of marketing strategies on how to attract users on your website. You will also need a customer support that will cater to the issues that your users will experience.

Creating or building a casino is not easy. Although you have that basic, this is not enough because the casino is not only about its creation platform. if you want to build a reputable online casino, you must have a strong and professional team that will help you to create, develop, manage, control, and also promote the platforms. this is done to make your casino online get bigger, more reputable, and also get more users. However on more this may not be easy because you may also need money to develop and promote the platform.
But, if you don't want to make such complicated things or activities, why don't you seek a job that relates to your basic?

OP is not that weak person to start a business that he does not understand and also there are chances that they wanted to earn but the main thing here is to serve gamblers and also to put a service that this will last long .

and maybe OP is not having second thought as he open a escrow service instead of creating a gambling site that we can find in his newly created thread .

I think one area that is extremely important is the legal one.

The technical aspects are relatively simple compared to knowing all the details of the laws and making sure there are no issues with the users.

You will need to enforce all the local rules of all the countries you want to serve. Not a simple task

OP seems sincere as a newbie in this business so I believe that he wants to make a fair and legal business only not illegal where he can turned in to a scam later on. That one that you suggest, having a consultant is no doubt helpful but here in crypto or in bitcoin, anyone can start their own casinos immediately even without it and I think that having it can only add on the expense and then it can take some time for it to be processed.

Lastly it can demand users to do a kyc, which contradicts to the real purpose of decentralization or anonymity or cryptos. We know that many gamblers are sick and tired of kyc but majority of them values their privacy.

I think it's good to value your privacy - I was an open book and I had no idea about it unless I have suffered an identity theft issue.
some people are too evil to deal with. They misuse you - and cherry on the top - they blame you and curse you and kick you out of the room, Have you ever met someone like this I have met such kind of jerks twice.

 actually there's a lot of streamers nowadays when it comes gambling if you want to gain knowledge, and it's the easiest way to adopt such environment IMO.
Infact there's a lot of popular gambler around the internet that use to stream everytime they gamble. so it's a big help for you to get more information and surely you can adopt it ASAP afterwards.. But just put efforts how to find them in the internet.  :D

I feel sorry about your bad experience. I guess that's too traumatic on your part and that's one of the reasons why we can't blame players who don't want to comply with the KYC requirements. There are scammers and users that might steal your personal data which is really dangerous. That's why lots of gamblers prefer casino sites that won't ask us to submit the KYC process.

When i say legal it means having a license casino business, because you can run unlicensed too and running unlicensed casino it is not illegal. Crypto casino/gambling starts on full non-kyc, it only require most of them when authorities requires it, that time was when crypto/bitcoin become more popular.

Like you said, anyone here in crypto can start business but op doesnt know how it works so having a consultant is a good move. Since he probably will create his own platform knowing he know to code and will not hire a casino service provider i mean the gaming software companies.

Like what im trying to say, casino asking KYC are those who are licensed since this is required when you are following regulations for the business you build. That means having a casino licensed means asking kyc to your users.
So expect it when you create an account to a licensed casino you will be asked kyc, sooner or later after playing and gaining more wins or facing an issue later.

With the coding knowledge you have all you can do is to develop a site which can be a casino but it doesn't make a casino in reality.

To start an online casino first you need to have capital like huge capital to get the license and to manage the bankroll for a while even if you set the highest winning reward is minimal range like only few thousands, then you need to reach the people because there are hundreds of other existing casinos are here so for the marketing alone you need influencers as well as funds.

After achieving all this, the biggest problem remains in obtaining the necessary licenses.
Of course, it is possible to launch the casino without licenses, and some countries enable their citizens to launch these services, but then it will be difficult to obtain the trust of users easily. Some trusted members of the forum can do this and then their reputation and history of trust will be the guarantor of the casino's integrity. As for unknown investors, they will need to obtain these licenses.

Launching without obtaining a license is a BIG NO, just like any business, they should acquire a license first before launching.  This will save them a lot of troubles and enable them to operate and promote their Casino without any legal worries.  Launching with license also boost the trust of possible players on the platform.

Yes, getting license it such a pain. For example an online gambling website in my country needs to be verified and legal, because as soon as your website gets users and become well known government will see this, also our banks doesn't accept money came from gambling even legally or not, basically you need the trust of the government and the people, it is very hard to create gambling website in our country, I hope that ts has a good country that will not prevent him or will give him a hard time licensing it.

running and operating a casino or gambling site is no easy feat. this is not for all. aside from all those backbreaking requirements, you should be prepared with enough bankroll to get going. i hope people are thinking hard before jumping on this business. it is no easy peasy to maintain this business also. this is why if you are just half-hearted on this, better not involve yourself on this endeavour.

I think at most of the cases, gambling owners wannabe are doing their respective homeworks on what are the important things to take note prior oponing a gambling site. For site's bankroll, surely they are prepared for it as there are big whales that might come to the site. Aside from that, they will make sure everything is good before going live.

That's the reason why OP created this thread, to feed the mind with knowledge as maybe there are people that might encounter this thread who really knows how running the gambling sites works or related fields. OP seems to really have a good knowledge about coding and what he needs is those who will backed him on how to integrate his idea to them.

this a business for Gambling expert and also a literal gambler that has Good amount of capital because we know how long this would take before players do visit and deposit in your site .
trust is what you need to established and gain respect and players.

so with those I think this business is limited to those who has that attitude,.behavior and capacity .

Starting a casino needs consultants just like you have mentioned to get the appropriate information about how op can get things done. There will be need for programers and other top positions that are needed in the gambling world. Having a Gambling casino need lots of money and right information to work with the right people that can bring good strategy to make the casino a more interesting one. There are some things that do attract gamblers to casinos which should be the first things op will need to fix and put in place.

You are right. If the casino can gain the players' trust, they will benefit from its business, where the players will find comfort in playing gambling at the casino. This can't be found in other casinos even though they both build a casino but if one casino can't provide good service, that casino won't be able to develop better. Maybe getting a license is one way to gain the players' trust, but still, better service can give more trust from the players.

That's why the gambling business attracts many investors to try it but not many business owners can run their gambling business well. In addition to requiring larger capital, it will also have other things to prepare.

Above all, initial capital is the most important. No casino can run efficiently without the flow of funds at the beginning, they must pay their employees, support promotions and marketing, and pay out player winnings. If this is not addressed appropriately, the casino may go bankrupt within its first month.

Simply looking at the launch of a casino will show you that a welcome bonus of 200% is being used to lure new players, the smart players know how to use this effectively and always win at all costs.  Now, tell me how the will casino survives with excess bonuses and wins of players, that's the period they begin to play fowl games and begin their bad reputation, most often than not, such casinos usually fold up.

Check for the reviews ... do your research
Proper research before investing and once you make a decision - stick to it

I believe game development skills aren't a big concern, because you can purchase games' codes from some companies. As you have background in coding, you will be able to configure the games as you wish after acquiring them, so you can adapt the style of your platform to the different games disponible.

I know popular gambling websites which didn't fully develop the games they offer by themselves, so it's still possible to be successful doing this.

Your main concerns should be security, initial investment and marketing. Firstly, a kind of hype is needed, so most potential customers as possible will hear about your site. If successful on this aspect, you need a large amount of funds to cover possible initial losses as players win, while having a top notch security system to prevent hacking attempts.

Before planning to make such casino you need to have good experience in game development as well as need blockchain based skills or you will be exposed to certain losses. You can make partner but they have to be honest and trusted and have the good knowledge what you are going to established or else have to loss. Not only that, you also need to keep in mind that you need a large investment to advertise your casino or gambling platform. If you are confirmed about these things then you are welcome.

Basic requirement is the capital investment. Prior experience in gambling platforms will help to develop the platform according to the user needs. As mentioned trusted team is a must, because better the development better will be the functioning and the increasing usage of the platform. Even a small problem could make a big loss with the platform. So, there is a need of increased security. Beyond all this trust is much needed, which can be developed through the platforms continued progress without any form of accusation.

You can find some freelancers if you don't want to hire a big staff and dont have much space for it.
There are coworking spaces as well - where you work and get benefited without creating your new office.

It's a serious business and by just hiring freelancers, it's like a quick and finis task without having the connection from those developers. You may hire them again in the future if there's something wrong with their work mostly for the codes.
Better to hire organizations that would help you build out the entire business and can maintain it for the sake of your customers, that's what it should be because security and maintaining it on its form is a must.

Freelancers might be helpful for after sales stage – the marketing side not the development stage.
Hiring freelancers without fully audit the gaming software  or even so will be a pain in the ass in the future use.
Hiring software providers or fulltime developer is a must for casinos, although OP knows how to code but it will take ages before he can finish it or fix it, so.

You said it right, they're good for that purpose like for marketing and customer support. But entrusting them with the whole coding thing, you have to know them very well and you have to be fully committed so that you're going to have no problems with them deploying the entire project and codes.
Because you don't want to have issues when you have some lack of payment to them and their demand or else, they'll make things complicated for you and can even put some ticking bomb on your business if you neglect maybe in payment or anything that they demand as a worker. They're not even bind if you don't give them a contract.

this is why if you are serious in setting-up this business, you will hire dedicated staffs that can fully devote themselves in the continuous development of the platform. hard to trust the site with freelancers. i do agree that when it comes to marketing or customer support, that's fine. but when it comes to site itself, you should have a very good relationship with them. otherwise, they can truly ruin your business in one snap.

Not only dedicated but the right people for the job.  Devoted people plus skills matching their job produce great works.



I don't mind hiring freelancers for the job as long as they are professionals and have the right skill for the job.  I think the insurance that freelancers won't do the nasty thing is an agreement  or contract that will bind them.  If ever the freelance had done something wrong, you can always file a lawsuit against them due to breach of contract.

People just see that online casino are easy to open as they only have to buy a domain, deploy a script to the site or hire a developer who will build a gambling site. They forget that the real challenge begins when they have to promote their site and the money involved in this marketing promotion.
No gambling site can run without promotions because of the high competition between the online gambling sites.

Yes, it's all about the long-term plans that you have and not just all about building them. So what's next after building it? Do you think that you're okay with that already? Not yet, there's a long process and you also need to build your reputation and there goes the other staff that should help you on your way by doing it. Aside from that, at the first months of operations, you really have to spend a lot of money for those purposes if you want to get into the real serious business of owning a casino.

Aaaand on top of that ... you need a great matketing strategy , otherwise any great great services or products will never get any user and gonna be an abandoned project , remember just remember ... the goal is to make money and without having those marketing strategy , your project / casino will become nothing.

Get your code up , build an extraordinary addicting game and do the continuous promotion , all of these must be done in perfect way, all of them.

Promotions are part of any business and that's why it's after the building of the casino. There are too many things that need to consider when someone has thought of making it one of his revenue. The revenue will come likely once you're established but it will take time before you see that happen. And it's not just all about the promotion, we're already there but even if the promotion is good and the service sucks, that's what these aspiring owners have to realize. Because that will shoo away those customers that they've taken from their marketing if the service isn't good.

Yuppp , that's why i said ... all of them must be done in perfect way .

I mean between the services/ products and marketing there must be a syncronizing ... a great marketing + great service would convert you a huge revenue.
A great marketing + bad service would convert you a bad user experience and they mostly will never comeback
A bad marketing + great service convert you a slow growth in revenue despite how great the service is.
Pretty simple but the execution itself pretty tough i must say.

Just on an overview about house making an edge, they simply think of running a gambling platform. By the time it is more important that the industry is no more the same as the past. The competence level is very big and to stay against them in the market isn't an easy thing. It requires big money. As said promotion is the key factor that can make changes. In the past it is possible to grow a platform from the scratch with small investment and slowly make it progress. Now it have turned to be billionaire's business.

we have witnessed several times that Licensed casino still make scams in this business and also those plenty of fake licenses being presented just to fool players , meaning this is not the point to believe in certain casinos.

also correct , we have also noticed that only few from hundred casinos made its way up  and we cannot assure perfect result as long as they are not pleasing the gamblers in any way.

and the intense competition makes to be successful in the gambling industry you must have a lot of money because it will spend quite a large amount of money for promotion and in my opinion this is the part that spends the most capital apart from the others, so in my opinion for now it is difficult or maybe impossible to build a casino from small capital and expect to survive.

I don't know about coding, so i can't give an opinion on this. But if you increase the variety of payment systems, the more payment and deposit systems the more users will be. Deposits and withdrawals created in a simple way are important for the accessibility of the site. You should not depend on one payment system. You should pay attention to the many types of gambling. Here are some small recommendations from my point of view.

If it's about the payment or accepted cryptocurrencies. We all think that the more, the better but I guess there are also some disadvantages to it.
It's okay to support a lot of them but not up to the point that you're going to have as much as you can. It's not just so good to look at them if there are tons of them and many of those accepted cryptos are not in demand and not being used by most users. So, in the end, the casino will have to remove or delist it from them.

There are so many online casinos now that you definitely have to come up with some original idea, storytelling and concept to be unique and different form everyone. Anyway, I wish you good luck! With the skills you have and the right approach, you will definitely make it!

If the gambling casino focuses only on their payment method or the transactions I guess it is well good at the same time because this is the most important feature of the gambling casino the players make a deposit and withdrawal of their funds but after they built this already they must need to make a start regarding with their gambling advertisements such as promoting into different social media platforms, partnerships, and etc. to gain more viewers and players. The casino will work for those who have a lot of players. Also you recommend already the payment process it is good to if the players have the option of the transaction fees how it is fast to transact.

Yes, all of those must come in handy and should be connected to each other so that they're executing it perfectly. Like everything must be balanced because if not.
Then all of those efforts will come to waste if not being connected properly. There should be balance in all things when it's about the operation and creation thus, the owner should anticipate the unexpected.

Having a unique games is actually not necessary because players only plays what they used to play. Bonus and VIP system is what makes the casino nowadays successful to get customers. Aside from that, A huge marketing plan is the most import on a casino startup so even if you have all the generic games such as table games, live games, slots and sportsbook while you have a solid marketing plan, You can dominate the online gambling industry by just focusing with that.

Why do you think your casino would be successful? There are so many casinos already, creating a new one would be really a challenge. If you plan to after creating an online casino, you would get rich, you are wrong. It will be really difficult to attract new users. Users usually stick to 2-3 casinos and gamble only there. They go to other casinos only when they offer big bonuses or something free. Are you ready to give a lot for free, to sacrifice profit in order to get something in future?

What kind of promotion you guys are talking about? The one that exposes the gambling site to other people? Well, that can be done freely because forum's and social media's are also free or you can also promote your own site locally on your own but if you mean promotion in the form of bonuses then you can be honest and say that you can only afford small bonuses as the site is still small.

Bonuses isn't all anyway but at the end of the day, this was still a gambling site where the purpose of the people is to play the games. So, maybe if you can focus more on making it better, that can be your edge to stand out among the others that only lure their players in the form of bonuses.

I think this is a matter of choice if he think he can handle the stress and what it takes. I know there are many casinos online but there are also new gamblers joining the gambling world so I think we don't need to border about how many casinos are floading the internet. If he will be able to meetup with what it takes then that's fine. Everything about gambling is competitive and the strongest always take the lead. Just like we have new cars coming into our road Evey year so we need new casinos too.

You cant really make out some comparison or trying to attached it with cars when it comes to new where we dont really need to have lots of casinos on the market.You cant really just
create out a business if you dont really have that passion considering that gambling casino business does spend up much money then you cant really just make out steps in a hurry.
Everything should be on plan and you would need to find a team which would really be a part on building your business and other factors which you would really be needing
to be handled it well and also you should put up into your mind that nothing guarantees about success.
