Microgaming software price

[XSX]

Hello,

Any ideas how much microgaming charge form their software? I tried to call them, but they wouldn't disclose (?) that information at "that stage". May be there will be one more Meister approved casino =)

I think it fully depends on what options you want, how much customers do you expect etc. etc. So they can't give you a price.

btw: This question does make me curious. How much money do you need to start a small online casino(when you outsource alsmost everything: support, payments etc.). Is it near 100k, 500k, 1 mln or 1 mln++? I hope someone will and can give me an indication

Doesn't even start (sic) to compare to Microgaming. Certainly the options you have increase the price and MG take a % slug too I'm lead to believe - well, I'm sure they all do but you can bet MG's is a bigger slug! It's not a cheap option but it's definately the best IMO.

Gee why do they need to be so brutally honest

In Poker, a "rake" of 4% is taken from each player before the game begins. Furthermore, what is commonly known as "the nature of gambling" indicates that most gamblers keep going until they are out of cash.

Why dont they just say gamblers are mugs u cant lose ..

I dunno about MG, but I recently stumbled across a casino software I have never even heard of who are charging;
Basic Package: €98,999
Full Package: €158,999

I think I need a few more good Ladbrokes scratchcards before I can stretch to that!

I love the way the prices end "999" - as if choosing software is like selecting a tin of baked beans at Tesco; 'Hmmm.. shall I buy the 40p tin or the 39p tin...?"

Which software was that?

You will surely need around 1 Mio$ to seriously think about operating a good running casino (starting costs for software, licenses, design etc. 1/2Mio + one year marketing expense 1/2mio).

Monthly operating costs are between 25K-50K if you operate a 24/7 support center in 2-3 languages. Outsourcing part of the business is becoming a very costly thing and the quality is not always what you would expect. We are actually moving into insourcing all aspect of our operation.

Also note that those figures are an absolute minimum to start operating on the well known top platforms (MG,BOSS,PLAYTECH,WAGER). You will also need additional reserves to cover the big player winnings that can hit you anytime.

Hope it gives you some valuable information about the cost of starting an online casino.

It would be interesting to hear a comparision of casino vs sportsbook..

I did hear that with M/G after all startup costs you need 300K in reserves as well.
