Have your own casino.

[mak013]

How many of you have dreamed about having your casino? Be the house and play the always-win game.

In the past years it was different, people who could build a provably fair engine were able to have their own casino, but now we are playing with new rules, the casinos must have a license and games providers, and that's what people are looking for, and i don't say is something bad, the gambling experience on stake compared with the gambling experience on satoshi bones is enormous.

But getting back into the topic, i would like to read some nice histories from the community, those who only dream about their own casino, and those who make their dreams come true.

As for me it only looks like easy money. To be the owner of the casino is the same job like the others. You have to pay taxes, pay prizes, work hard trying to increase the reputation of the casino, invite new gamblers, etc.
As the result you get some money and have to pay salary, bills, etc. And only after all these payments you get your money. And i don`t sure that it would be big enough sum.

The process of owning a casino site and setting up another business is the same, only the platform is different and the strategy is different. And like other businesses, earning money after success is very easy. We can easily go to a platform and gamble. Gambling is not as easy as owning a gambling platform.  It's natural that everyone dreams of owning a platform because everyone dreams big. But implementation is very difficult

What are you saying really? Do you mean that gambling in itself is more difficult than setting up a gambling casino? If this is what you mean, then I completely disagree with you.
How can you say that gambling is  not as easy as owning a gambling platform.? If owning a gambling platform where everyone will gamble on was that easy as you have said, trust me that several of us on this forum will own and be operating our own gambling platform, I myself for example would have by now have my own casino running.

With literally less than a dollar, any body can sign up on gambling casino and place a bet, but to build a gambling platform, one would require to spend tens of thousands of dollars, if not hundreds of thousands of dollars on both building the platform and marketing it.

I want to convey that gambling is very easy but owning a gambling platform is not possible.  Owning a gambling platform requires a lot of money for site maintenance and marketing which is not possible for everyone.  As I am not financially strong enough then how can I bear that cost? Again after spending millions of dollars if you can't make your platform a success then your investment will be lost.  There are huge number of gambling sites in the market, are they all successful?  So how can you guarantee that your site will succeed?  So is it not difficult to own a gambling site?

Well, now, I get a better understanding of what you meant and now understand that your comment in your previous post was more like a typo. You are very correct with all you have said now and I agree with you, setting up a gambling casino requires a lot money, which also is an investment since a gambling casino in itself is business, and not one without risk, as you have said that if at the end of the day, the casino end up not successful, then it means the owner will lose the money he or she invested in building the casino.

But let me also say that, the success of any business lies in the hands of the owner of the business, so if for example, you decide to build an online gambling casino, the success of this casino is solely in your hands, if you give it the kind of marketing and promotions it needs, the casino will surely succeed as long as it has all what gamblers want.

[OgNasty]

I wouldn’t want my own casino. The liability of holding so many other people’s money would be absolutely insane. Not to mention all the problems that would come along with it like hacking attempts and angry customers complaining about bugs or making claims about their gaming outcomes. It would be neverending stress.

[bakasabo]

I have never dreamed of having my own casino, mostly because it will turn joy and fun into plain and work. As a business, I doubt that casino is a best business for an individual entrepreneur. I think that risks are higher than in a regular business. Competition is huge. Responsibility is huge. Many think that having a casino is just sit and watch your money grow. But instead people would get headache, as gambling industry always lures lots of unfair players. Instead of gambling, some group of people will try to cheat and make you bankrupt. Also owner is not insured against very first casino visitor winning jackpot and make you bankrupt at the very first day.

Not to mention all the problems that would come along with it like hacking attempts and angry customers complaining about bugs or making claims about their gaming outcomes. It would be neverending stress.

For having that said it will really make us wonder if we really able to handle to run a operation on those online casino since its really hard to operate it knowing that there's a lot of threats that can possibly down our operations. That's why for thinking about that it really make me afraid to have my own casino since I don't want to encounter a problem related to that matter especially when dealing other peoples emotion.

So this kind of plans is really for those people who have a lot of money so they can deal with anything especially on other technical aspect and also for sure with having a lot of funds they can build a good team that can work good on their operation.

So this kind of plan is really for those rich man who want to risk and can able to handle heavy stress coming from the community they built.

[sunsilk]

I don't plan to have one of it but I just want to be part of it where the operations can be made or at least be the support of it.

Anyway, who doesn't want to own a business especially if it's from a very lucrative industry like in the gambling industry. Maybe I don't have it on my mind but if I've got bunch of money and just want to have one, probably I've done that but I'm not good at it.

So it's going to be a big waste of money because it's not just all about running the casino, the advertising, the cost of everything and security.

However, if you have several supporting factors then I am sure you will have the desire to have it as I have said before and you have said here it takes a lot of money and also requires really good experience in this field of gambling.

Even though some of these supporting factors are very important, in reality there are several sites that seem to be owned by business people who don't have much budget so the sites they set up fail to develop and even scam cases occur such as not paying customers winnings.
There are also some people who are looking for investors to be able to build the gambling business they planned but failed because being able to build a casino business and get investors is very difficult and the owner has to really prove that the project he is creating can generate lot of profit.
Moreover, building casino is not as easy as imagine and requires the help of team of experts in developing it.

If the owner does not have lot of experience and knowledge about gambling, I think it is true that it will only be a waste of money and ultimately losses will be the end of the business.

That is what I am trying to avoid, the failure to pay the customers when I know in the first place that this shouldn't be the case as a business owner that's engaged in the gambling industry. I know what it feels to be as a customer in that position so if I am aware that I don't have the capacity.

Then, I better leave that to those that are able and that's also one reason why I just want to be at the lower tier of the company or organization because that seems to be a tough burden for someone who owns the casino or on a higher level in the office.

I can't do it on my own unlike those that managed to start on their own. However, I think that most of the successful casinos today weren't just built by one single person.

Both of you have a good point, when we think about our own casino most of people think about the money they will win and how profitable a business like that is. But as you say, there will be a lot of hacking attempts, customers complain and the problems we face won't be easy to solve.

Is important to see both sides of this kind of business.

And about be rich to run the business, I do not agree at all, some casinos let the users invest to cover the bankroll.

I don't think so, arwin100, although who knows, maybe you're right.

I was thinking more on the kind of people who worked in similar projects in the past and, with the experience and know how they are now able to build their own platform with some guarantees.

For those who have no expertise in this field, I don't think that it is a good idea to build an online casino from scratch, unless you are really clever, really brave and really motivated to do it. I hope seoincorporation has all three attributes if he is thinking of daring to take on such an undertaking.

I also like gambling, but I don't want to own my own casino. If I have a lot of money, I would rather open another business, because I'm not sure about the risks that will come if I open my own casino. So just to play is enough for me.

As you said, not to mention the problems that might come, maybe I myself will not be able to face all the problems, even though I have a lot of money but if problems keep coming, it will make me uneasy. So it's better for me to live with enough money.

It's important to see from both sides of a business before deciding to go into it, but I personally do not see this is very important. Trust me, when it comes to business, I sure will like to know the challenges and risks involved with doing that business, but this is not for it to change mind, but to be prepared for it when it comes, for no matter how enormous the challenges are, it wont stop me from going into the business as long as I see that there are other people who are doing the same business and succeeding.

Talking about building a gambling casino, I can only say that what will stop me from owning my own casino is if I have not made up my mind to have and run one, regardless of whether there will be hack attempts, customers complain or what so ever, all this is not an excuses if you've really set your mind to have your own gambling casino, the only thing that can be a challenge is if you don't have the money to build it yet.

[JackpotRacer]

I am now thinking of offering an API service for anyone who wants to launch their own casino that doesn't have the bankroll so they can set up their own sites and not have to worry about bankroll, security, payments, accounts etc.

It would offer Dice, Crash and other house games as well as ability to set up bonuses and chat communities.

No offense but for what reputation you got here for sure many casino aspiring owners will avoid to get link with your services offered since they might get afraid to be called as bad casino. Your reputation will not bring good to your potential clients that's why they may not avail the service what you offer.

But its good that you show some intention about the service what you offer but maybe you may try first to fix your reputation first so that people would trust the service you offer.

Still best of luck.

You are right that the reputation flags here could put people off. I have no control over that.
The alternative would be to launch anonymously under a new account. I don't want to do that and would rather be transparent.

Thanks

well said and that is the way to go !

good luck

If I'm not wrong, Money Pot was the name of the business that used to do this. They used to offer the API and users had the option to build their own casinos without bankroll. I Know 2 guys who used that service in the past and was a nice option because the money comes from investors, so, this way anyone can be the house and have its own engine.

So, i would love to see a service like that coming back in the future.

agree 100% and I am sure many more want to see this and have the opportunity to run their own casino the Money Pot way

Even on other form of investment would really be still imposing such risks on which there'a no way that we could really be able to avoid such thing on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be really that facing those probabilities on which it would really be that a common approach but well each of us does have that own preference when it comes to things. We arent that blind that gambling business
is really that indeed profitable and there's no way that it wouldnt really be  that making out some good profits specially if your business is already that gaining some traction or recognition on which its something that wont really be that so easy when running not only gambling business but also in other business as well. Demand and recognition would be the toughest thing to gain on.

Not everyone can own a casinos as owning a casino needs not only the capital, the money but also the knowledge on how to operate and run the casino.

Let suppose you have the money , you have the developers with you built or buy a running casino but then still it would not work because the competition here is too much and without effective marketing it is not possible that new casino become the choice of the gamblers.
Again I will emphasize that owning a casino is more profitable than playing at a casino but this is not easy and not everyone has the talent to do it.

Agree into this one on which even if you do have the money but you dont have that appropriate knowledge on a certain business because its neither out of your interest or having no idea then i dont see for it to be ideal that you should really be running one but if you are really that eager or interested then you could still possibly be able to learn.Therefore, it would really be that always according into your own preference and risks taking since in every business there would really be a risks on getting bankrupt or failure. This is why it would really be that relevant that you should be wary about those potential
and possible danger that you could be able to face on.

Doing or having business is totally different to those people who do actually play. There's always that kind of fine line in between business owners and into its clients or users.
IF we do speak about money making then having business would be the key but if we do speak about entertainment then gambling would be the choice.
Business and leisure is really that two different things in the end.

I agree wit you that not everyone has the talent or what it takes intellectually to effectively manage a casino, but I do not agree with you where you said that not every one can own a casino. Everyone who wants can own a casino bud, and I mean anyone at all, even an uneducated person can own a gambling casino if he or she wants, all that matters is if he or she has the money to run it, and also have people who are talented and trustworthy around him or her.

That I own an online gambling casino does not mean that I must be the one to manage it, people who have absolutely no idea of how medicine works, but have the money build world class hospitals, and hire world class doctors to manage the hospital while he (the one who built the hospital) just sit by the side earning his money, and in some cases, worker may never get to know who the real owner of the hospital is, they will always think the doctor who is the manager is the owner of the hospital  whereas his not.

This same thing can apply for gambling casino as well, anybody who has the money can build a casino and hire some one with much experience in casino management to manage the casino, while he (the owner) takes care of all the financial aspect of the casino, like providing money for marketing, payment of workers salaries and so on.

To own a casino is pretty simple and anyone could do that with little effort and almost no knowledge and skills, however, to manage and it succesful plus sustainable it's another story...

If we think broadly, there are many small casinos around without any kind of regulation. I'm saying about those faucets websites where there are simple gambling games available, mainly dice. However, nobody plays there. They do exist, websites are active and running, there is someone behind them, but they aren't profitable because traffic must be nearly to zero.

Maybe if we were talking the early years of cryptocurrencies those micro casinos would still have a chance, but not anymore considering the currently size of this industry and how influent and dominant some companies have become.

Now the competition is played by big entrepreneurs and their armies, and not by individual developers exploring a new world like it was 7-10 years ago. The dynamic here has changed considerably.
