"The growing popularity of online gambling makes starting an online casino a very tempting endeavour to pursue. If you look around, you’ll see new online operators are popping up every other day in Canada, but starting one is not cheap at all and the competition can be fierce. So what does it take to get started? After launch, the main recurring costs typically include: platform licence fee $20,000–$80,000/yr, game provider revenue share 10–20% of GGR, payment processing fees 2–6% per transaction, responsible gambling tools and KYC/AML software variable by volume and provider, customer support staffing, and ongoing compliance costs for licence renewal and reporting. Player acquisition and retention spend is separate and typically accounts for a meaningful share of NGR — the exact proportion depends heavily on market maturity and competition.
