For independent operators
Build a casino you actually own — not one you lease.
Turnkey is not the easiest path into iGaming. It is the most ownership-aligned one — if you have the capital and the intent to build a real brand. This page is honest about the trade.
Who this path is actually for
Turnkey is not for first-time operators with no iGaming experience and limited capital. If that's you, a white label is the honest starting point — and we can route you toward that path too. This page speaks to the people turnkey is designed for:
- Investors and operators with real capital€100K+ realistic first-year all-in once licensing, setup, first-year marketing, and working capital are stacked.
- Long-term brand-building intentYou're building an asset with real exit value, not testing whether iGaming works.
- Ready to skip the white label stepping stoneYou've done the reading and you know you want to own the license and the player database from day one.
- Comfortable with operational responsibilityCompliance, payments, and support are yours to run — directly or through hired talent.
The vocabulary, demystified
- Own licenseYou hold the gambling license directly — MGA, Curaçao LOK, UKGC, etc. This is the core difference from white label.
- Direct PSP contractsYou sign payment processing agreements in your own name. Funds settle to your accounts.
- AggregatorA single integration that gives you access to hundreds of game studios.
- GGR / NGRGross Gaming Revenue (bets minus payouts) and Net Gaming Revenue (GGR minus bonuses, fees, chargebacks). Under turnkey, both numbers are yours.
- Working capitalCash on hand to cover player withdrawals before PSP settlements clear. Non-optional in the first months.
Who's responsible for what
- • Gambling license — your name, your regulator
- • PSP contracts and payment operations
- • Compliance oversight — AML, KYC, RG
- • Brand, marketing, player acquisition
- • Customer support and VIP management
- • Turnkey platform technology & maintenance
- • Game aggregation integrations
- • Technical support during onboarding & operations
- • Ongoing product roadmap and updates
Honest expectations
Turnkey launches take 2–4 months in the best case (you already hold or are pursuing Curaçao) and can stretch to 6–12 months if you're applying for MGA. First-year investment realistically starts in six figures once you stack platform, license, PSP, marketing, and working capital. See the full cost breakdown.
Anyone quoting a single hard "turnkey casino price" without asking about your target markets, license, and PSP scope is selling you a package, not advising you.
