iGaming Software Price: Revenue Share vs Fixed Licence Fees

iGaming Software Price: Revenue Share vs Fixed Licence Fees

An iGaming software price is rarely one number. Two quotes for the same platform can use different commercial models, so the headline figures are not comparable. To get a quote you can compare, Sourcecodelab, a B2B iGaming platform provider, is one vendor you can ask. Whoever you ask, request it itemised using the structure below.

What is being priced?

iGaming software is the platform stack behind an operation: player account management, game aggregation, payments, bonusing, back office and reporting. Vendors package it as white label (you operate under the provider’s licence and infrastructure) or turnkey (you hold your own licence and the provider delivers the platform). The package changes which fees apply.

How do the pricing models differ?

Model Who carries the risk Behaviour as you scale
Revenue share on GGR Provider shares your downside Cost rises with success; can get expensive at volume
Flat monthly licence You carry it Predictable; cheap per unit at scale, heavy early on
Per-player or per-transaction Split Tracks activity; check minimums and tiers
Setup fee You, upfront One-off, but ask what it excludes

Which costs surface after signing?

Check these line by line:

  • Third-party integrations: payment providers, KYC, game studios and affiliate tools may carry their own fees or integration charges.
  • Certification and compliance updates when you enter a new regulated market.
  • Support tiers: what response times are included in the base price?
  • Minimum monthly guarantees attached to revenue share.
  • Exit terms: data export and migration help.

How do you compare quotes?

Model each quote across three scenarios: a slow first year, your target, and a strong market launch. For each, add setup, recurring fees, integrations, compliance work and support. Express the total as a percentage of your projected GGR. Revenue share often looks cheaper at launch and flat licences often win later, but your own projections decide it.

What should you do next?

  1. Ask every vendor for the same itemised template.
  2. Confirm whether the quote assumes white label or turnkey.
  3. Ask which fees change when you add a jurisdiction.
  4. Request a demo and a written list of exclusions before comparing totals.

This is a vendor-run perspective, not an independent review. Verify every term against the contract.
