Question

How do you start a online casino?

Answer 1

I think you must get a gaming permit ,which is very expensive. So I guess you would already have to be rich to start one. Than you would have to hire gaming engineers. And find a good accountant.

Answer 2

Contact a game provider (http://directory.google.com/Top/Games/Ga... , they offer software, game server, customer support, sometimes marketing and financial processing services. I expect the license and hosting would be very expensive.

Answer 3

Well, the easiest and most cost effective way is to become an affiliate of an online casino. Here are the steps:

- go to a well known, trusted online casino (eg. King Solomons casino http://kscasino.com/ , Party Casino)

- you become an affiliate of the casino

- as a webmaster / affiliate you get free marketing materials to use (eg banners, unique link codes, stats etc)

- then you create a website, webpage with the your unique links (tracking links)

- finally you need to take care of the marketing part. (this is the hardest part)

- if you succeed you will bring new players to the casino who will lose some money

- you get paid based on their losses.

Since you get the material for free it's not expensive to become an affiliate. There can be some costs you need to cover. Eg: domain registration of your site, you may need to pay a designer to set the site up for you in case you cannot do it yourself, the marketing part is the most expensive. (Look into SEO - search engine optimization also)

Some companies offer services that cover the above steps for you. Also, they may offer adding some extra features to "your casino". (eg they may customize part of the casino design for you, eg. a unique lobby design) They usually ask for a very good money for these services. Wealth of information is out there. Take time to read first then consider spending money.

I don't think you need to deal with licenses and permits since you basically don't own the casino you only market a casino product.
