Turnkey casino
The turnkey casino platform solution will provide an operator with a ready-to-use type of casino, basically a pre-configured software package designed for quick deployment. Unlike white label solutions, in a turnkey casino, greater control and autonomy are given to the operator, who also has to be responsible for obtaining a valid gambling license and handling compliance matters.
Characteristics
Such a turnkey casino platform would normally be fitted out with a bespoke system to incorporate iGaming content within one single user interface, thus allowing the operator to maintain independently most areas of their business. In a common case, a software package comes with a full set of games, a backend management system, and also access to technical support. While it does, it doesn't involve other key elements to a full-fledged casino operation: payment processing, KYC services, or marketing tools-the operator will have to independently integrate them.
Licensing and compliance
A turnkey casino operator should get an appropriate license to carry on legally its gambling business in the market of its focus. In this respect, it is fully the responsibility of the operator to follow all the requirements of the local legislation, which may be set by the relevant gambling authorities.
Cost and setup
Due to the greater degree of independence and autonomy given, a turnkey casino is usually more costly to set up in terms of setup and operational expenses compared to white label deals. This is because, in this case, the operator is directly liable for all integrations from the outside: payment systems, KYC services, and third-party gaming content. The trade-off here in terms of independence perhaps means that long-term costs can be lower since the operators have direct agreements with service providers, thus reducing the fees imposed by an intermediary.
Pros and cons
The turnkey casinos provide flexibility for those operators that want maximum control over the platform. They allow individualization of the user experience and business processes, serving as a foundation for further scaling. This solution is more challenging to use because it requires direct technical management of several components, with more setup complexity.
