Online Casino Budget Calculator

What this calculator does

This calculator converts your selections (delivery model, features, integrations, compliance and geography) into a clear budget split:

• Bubble Marble implementation (one-off + monthly support)

• Third-party/platform/vendor fees (one-off + monthly)
  It also estimates a rough launch timeline and a 12-month total so you can plan financing and ROI.

Who it’s for

• Entrepreneurs validating an online casino idea

• Operators comparing white-label vs. PAM vs. custom routes

• Teams preparing board budgets or RFPs

How to use it (quick steps)

2. Toggle features: Sportsbook, Live Casino, Bonus & Loyalty, CRM, Affiliate, Risk/AML, KYC.

3. Set the number of game providers and payment providers (PSPs) to integrate.

4. Pick branding level (Template / Custom / Premium).

5. Choose compliance complexity and geographic scope.

6. Review the results: BM one-off, Third-party one-off, Monthly totals, 12-month total, and timeline range.

7. Click Copy summary to share numbers internally or Book a scoping call for a tailored quote.

What drives cost (and timeline)

• Delivery model

  • White-label / turnkey: fastest route; most components pre-integrated; customization is lighter.

  • Platform/PAM: more control; you assemble modules and integrations around a core account/wallet system.

  • Custom build: full ownership and flexibility; longer timeline; more implementation effort up front.

• Features & integrations
  Each additional module (e.g., Sportsbook, Live Casino, Bonus/loyalty, Affiliate, CRM, Risk/AML, KYC) adds integration and QA time. More game providers and PSPs increase both cost and delivery time.

• Compliance & geography
  Stricter regimes (e.g., UKGC) and multi-region rollouts add documentation, test cycles, and technical variations—so we apply multipliers to BM effort and timeline.

• Branding & UX
  Template is fastest. Custom and Premium branding add design/Front-end work.

• Ongoing costs
  Monthly costs are split into BM support/maintenance vs platform/vendors/infra so you can see where spend lives.

How to read the results

• BM implementation (one-off): our engineering/design effort to configure, integrate, and launch.

• Third-party setup (one-off): onboarding/connection fees for platforms, KYC, payments, etc.

• Monthly totals: typical run-rate combining BM support/maintenance with vendor/platform/infra subscriptions.

• 12-month total: one-off + 12× monthly.

• Timeline: expected weeks to launch, plus a range to reflect vendor approvals and compliance cycles.

Note: Estimates exclude government licensing fees and any revenue-share with game/payment providers. Those are highly jurisdiction- and contract-specific.

Common scenarios (examples)

These are illustrative outputs using typical defaults; your selections in the tool will update numbers instantly.

• White-label (fastest to market)
  Core casino with Live Casino, Bonus/Loyalty, CRM, Affiliate, Risk/AML, KYC; ~5 game providers included; 2 PSPs; single lower-complexity jurisdiction.
  One-off total ~ €90k, monthly ~ €3k, timeline ~ 24 weeks.

• Platform/PAM (more control)
  Same feature set as above; 2 PSPs; single market.
  One-off total ~ €126k, monthly ~ €3.5k, timeline ~ 33 weeks.

• Custom build (maximum flexibility)
  Adds Sportsbook, integrates ~10 game providers, 4 PSPs; single market.
  One-off total ~ €319k, monthly ~ €4.5k, timeline ~ 75 weeks.

(Actual vendor contracts, compliance scope, and branding depth can move these up or down. Use the calculator to model your exact plan.)

What’s included vs what isn’t

• Included in BM implementation: solution design, integrations, front-end work, configuration, QA, deployment, and technical handover; optional support & maintenance retainer.

• Not included: licensing/government fees, revenue-share agreements, and marketing spend.

FAQs

Is white-label always cheaper?
Usually for one-off setup, yes. But monthly fees and rev-share may be higher; model both to see your 12-month total.

How many game providers should I start with?
Most launches start with 4–8 to balance variety and integration time. You can add more post-launch—use the calculator to see marginal cost/time.

What slows timelines most?
Vendor approvals (PSPs/KYC), data and compliance reviews, and heavy branding work. Multi-region launches also extend timelines.

Can you include licensing fees in the calculator?
Licensing changes widely by jurisdiction. We keep it separate to avoid misleading totals; happy to estimate it during a scoping call.
