[inxs4u]

Hello,
I am looking to start a portal similar to Betfair or 1xBet for sports, casino, virtual games. Can you advise me on how to obtain the necessary API, software, payment gateway, banking solutions, and other essential components?
Thanks in advance

I suggest to hire someone that will handle all acquisitions for you since this requires a lot of connections and experience if you want to have a decent casino and not a mediocre one  using a rip off template of other casino.

There’s some people that offering this package on the services section before but I don’t trust them. We have user here like @SirJohnVonSlotty that can help you build the casino/portal you are looking for.

I agree with this, the OP would be better off hiring a professional who is an expert in the field and has experience.

regarding SirJohnVonSlotty, the OP can try and ask questions on the thread he created(AMA: I Operate an Online Casino) or maybe he can and hire him to build his casino.

That's a very ambitious goal, and as Coin_trader said, it requires a lot of connections with trustworthy people who can deliver and won't let you down, and experience to know what needs to be done at each moment of development and implementation. And from your questions it doesn't seem like you know much about it.

Don't get me wrong, me neither, but looking at your brand new account it seems to me that you're being too direct, instead of better understand how it works before going into the detail, which is what I would recommend to someone with a lot of motivation but little knowledge on the subject. There is a lot of information on the topic in the forum, although perhaps this thread is a shortcut for you, so I don't criticize it.

Good luck with your project, and I hope you tell us here how it goes and if you need more help from us.

Op there are other good sport bet casinos to mention and you mentioned a scam casino like 1xbit. Please don't go and design a casino site that look like 1XBIT. And if f you want to design a casino website and you don't know what to do then you employ a professional website designer to do the job for you. I am also website designer but I am not a professional one though I have a domain name which I bought early this year and I have not used it to design any website. So the domain name is still fresh there. I have 10 subdomain to create and I have not created anyone. I am not selling it. But only telling you what to do if you are not a website designer. You just need to hire someone to do it for you.

Absolutely you can do this if only,you know a crucial aspect of starting an online casino business,while clone scripts offer a tempting shortcut,the journey from purchase to successful implementation is fraught with challenges that necessitate a skilled and dedicated team of IT,database,and cybersecurity specialists.

The allure of clone scripts lies in their pre-built framework,promising a faster route to launching an online casino under your brand.However,the devil is in the details,and without proper customization and rigorous testing,you risk encountering a myriad of issues ranging from functionality errors to security vulnerabilities and to losing money in the end,so unless you have such resources don't even bother.

Hello,

Not sure if this a legit question or only to promoted 1xbet, I mean why would you mention 1xbet when there are hundreds of legit platforms out there?

Can you advise me on how to obtain the necessary API, software, payment gateway, banking solutions, and other essential components?
Thanks in advance

This is a question that can only be answered by certain people, such as casino owners or high ranking casino staff who are very experienced in this field.
Its better for you to use the services of 3rd party casino software, the total cost will be almost the same if you do this all yourself or by using 3rd party casino software.

Betfair is one of the best casino that has up to one thousand employees. If you want to have a casino like betfair, you need a lot of money, millions of dollars and a team of very talented and experienced developers, marketers and of many professions. You need industry professionals, so if I were you and since you are asking this question, I would forget to be a competitor of Betfair.
1xBet on the other hand is very achievable. It's the product of BetB2B.com, you can contact them, ask for casino CMS and about other details and you can easily start business but I suggest you to avoid them because they are scammers, they create many scam casinos under their CMS and scam people. Also, their websites share the same template, so it's easy to immediately notice with one look that website is using BetB2B. I suggest you to look for other casino solutions, hire a team, contact slots providers, contact casino game providers and this way you'll manage to get things done easily.

Some teams that I know create casino products and provide many leader casinos with their products:
Singular.uk
Spribe.co

Well, to be honest with you, I think hiring someone that is well avast with knowledge in this areas is your best option, asking here might be fruitless since I don't think there are any casual users here who are well knowledgeable in this things you mentioned, except for users who are running/operating their own casinos, and I personally do not think  any of them will be willing to let you in with such imformation as you are asking.

So, what you should do is look for someone who is a specialist in the area of starting and building new online casinos and helping acquire and integrating all the necessary APIs, game softwares and so on and on.

Meanwhile, good luck on this one bud.

Usually when people are curious or concerned about how to go about the setup of a service they are usually very active but the fact that the Op created this thread and still didn’t bother to respond to any comments that has been made makes me believe that it might just be a means to try to promote 1xbet. After all there is nothing that they wouldn’t do to get their name out in the public.

Let’s see if this will be the last post that the op would make in this forum or if they’ll be more from him.

Well, first you need to have plan and market study on what kind of gamblers is your service supposed to carter, in the first place. there is a lot of process to be done before even contacting to the providers of games of those companies which sell provably fair software to people like you who wish to start their own casino, you know. You need to research and think on what it would make your casino to be different from other small ones and the biggest ones in the ecosystem and the strategy you are intended to implement to hook your first clients off. Only when you have all those variables defined, then you move onto talking to the software providers, the employees you may need to hire and the graphic designers to be included in your payroll.

You are not the first time coming here  to the gambling section of the forum asking about this, and it is  likely you wont be the last, though all of you have something in common: you all seem to underestimate the sacrifice and the budget which is require to even start a small casinos which could become profitable in the long run.
My intention is not to kill off your dreams or discourage you, but you also need to have your feet on the ground and realize you would be trying to try to be part of a market which moves billions of dollars.

Anyways, that is the most things I can say for now. Good luck.

The opening already makes no sense at all.
He is looking for a site "like" betfair and/or 1xbet?? First of all, betfair is a betting EXCHANGE while (the scammer site) 1xbet is just a bookie/casino.
For a site like betfair it makes no sense to scam since they just offer a platform for people to lay/back gets against other players and they are earning a commission. The other is the simple "you against the house" betting system, can't even compare those 2.

Obviously OP doesn't even know what he is looking for, guess he need A LOT of help with this one.

Launching a new online betting and casino website sure ain't no picnic.  You gotta think about stuff like licenses, payment systems, marketing, customer service teams, reputation...  Getting the software and APIs is the easy part and  those are just the tools.  Building a real, long-lasting biz in this highly competitive and regulated industry - that's the hard stuff.  Makes me wonder if you know what you're getting into here.  Theres a whole lot more to running this kind of operation than just cobbling together the tech parts.

First of all, you should not create a portal similar to 1xBet because that one is known as a scam platform and creating something similar won't be fruitful for you at all, but if you want to have a good portal or a platform which may offer all those services then you first have to have enough money to do something like that.

I suggest you to find the people who worked in online casino industry and hire them for the tasks. You may need team of some professionals who are good at setting and running such platforms, and each member of the team need to get paid at time in order to continue the operations.

It's not an easy task to find such people but I guess you might contact the users of the forum who have worked in casino industry before, who might help you with that thing. I highly suggest you to contact SirJohnVonSlotty who has enough knowledge and experience in the field of online casinos.

being able to create a "big portal" requires very huge investments and knowledge.
the list of things that are needed is really long (not only on the server side, software, providers, adjustments with licenses) but you also have to consider personnel costs, marketing, promotions, bankroll, anti-fraud....

Here, personal opinion, if a person wants to make an investment of this kind, they are more or less already part of this industry and have at least clear ideas...
Without the funds, and no idea how to start such a business, I think it is really hard mission.

It requires a lot of investment, especially in terms of capital. Even if you hire professionals, you yourself need to have experience in order to set up and manage this type of website.

If you are interested in building a gambling site and you don't have enough equity and experience, I highly recommend building an affiliate site. After you gain experience, you can develop something more complex.

Thank you all for your comments. To clarify, I am looking for an API and a portal similar to Betfair, where users and resellers can register and manage payments and withdrawals. Perhaps a white-label solution would be a good starting point for learning and getting things up and running?

Are you planning to run your own casino as well? If you are already an expert in coding and all these stuff, then it would be easy for you to learn with the ideas being shared. But if you not an expert, I suggest you hire someone who are in this field already as you have already including API for banking which requires a high security control in order for funds to be secured on the gambler's side.

Consider all these, if you have no enough budget yet, you can try building a trial and error program until you perfected it, but if in case you feel you can opeerate it, that's where the funds is needed as not only the system is important but your capability to pay on how to market your casino and enough bankroll to  pay the winners.

You hire someone lol. If you're not that invested in trying to research it, you can hire someone who actually knows how to instead. Probably the easiest way. If you want to do it yourself, you'd usually still need to hire someone for the IT side, for the marketing side and at that point, you'd need an accounting team and an HR team as well. As for those stuff you said, they're mostly handled by the IT so just leave it to them lol.

Most of those stuff can be obtained by coordinating with the providers of games by directly contacting them, there's no really publicly available method since they'd need to give you an API key for you to be able to show it to your casino in the first place. Same with payment gateways and banking solutions.

You have to hire professionals. 1-2 programmers at least, someone for marketing and promotion, someone who knows something about cryptocurrencies, etc.
It is a long process and it would be better to find specialists who understand what they are doing and what you want.
