Re: How much would it cost to buy a casino? Well, if the Mega-Millions comes up in Washington, I may have a go at this. I figure (back of envelope) that you're looking at around $3M to get started with a chance of staying in business, and possibly another $500K - $1M for the first year, depending on how long it takes to get cash-flow-positive. How Much Does it Cost to Build a Hotel – 2015. February 11, 2015 By Sam Trotter 5 Comments.

1. How Much Does It Cost To Build A Small Chapel
2. Cost To Build A House

Let’s start by calculating the costs of running an Internet casino each month. The biggest expense most online casinos have is software related. Almost all gambling sites lease their softwarefrom one of the big 3 casino software providers:

1. Playtech
2. Microgaming
3. Net Entertainment

I’ve seen estimates that claim these 3 companies power 60% of all online casinos.

All of them have one thing in common:

They’re expensive.

All of these providers charge $11,000 or $12,000 a month to lease their software. They also get a 15% cut of the casinos’ winnings. That’s a pretty big expense right out of the gate.

But that’s not the only expense. Almost all online casinos run an affiliate program in order to drive business to their site.

Here’s how that works:

A webmaster runs a gambling information portal or site. He signs up for a casino affiliate program. He advertises the casino in exchange for a commission on each player.

This commission usually takes 1 of 2 forms:

1. A CPA (cost per acquisition)
2. Revshare (revenue sharing)

A CPA is a flat amount that the casino pays the affiliate for each player who signs up and makes a deposit at the casino. This amount can range from $25 to $500, depending on how much volume asite is able to send a casino.

With a CPA arrangement, the casino risks paying more for the player than the player loses to the casino. But it’s okay, because over a large number of players, a casino has an idea of what theaverage player is going to lose. That amount is always more than the CPA.

I’ve heard from reliable sources that the average online casino gambler is worth at least $1000. That takes into account the low rollers who only deposit and lose $25, but it also takes intoaccount the high rollers who deposit and lose $10,000 a month for months at a time.

The other arrangement is called revshare, or revenue sharing. In this arrangement, the casino pays the affiliate a percentage of the players’ losses for the lifetime of the player. This amountvaries, but it hovers around 25%. Big affiliates can demand higher revshare percentages.

So if an affiliate refers a player who deposits and loses $10,000 a month, he gets $2500 in commission each month.

But affiliates on revshare also have to take into account the amount of money their referred players win. If that $10,000 a month high roller gets on a hot streak, he can wipe out the earningsfrom the other dozen or 100 players the affiliate has referred.

So far we have a flat fee of $12,000 a month going out the door. We’re also seeing 25% of the casino’s wins being paid out in commissions, and we have 15% royalties going to the software provider.

Casinos also have to pay for customer service and hosting. Let’s assume you can operate a world class customer service department using offshore labor and spending only $5000 a month.

Let’s also assume that a casino is using its own secure server. I don’t have a lot of experience with Web hosting for sites with this kind of traffic or that sites that use so much bandwidth byhosting games, but I’m going to assume it’s expensive, but not too expensive. I’m going to call it $2500 a month. And if I’m way off on that estimate, let me know in the comments section.

So now we have almost $20,000 a month in fixed expenses, and we have 40% of player revenue accounted for on top of that. So just to break even, an online casino needs to earn enough money so that60% of its earnings equate to $20,000 a month.

So we’re looking at a minimum casino win of at least $33,000 a month just to break even.
