How much money do online casinos make?

Before we actually estimate the total revenue of online casinos, I would like to mention that no one can provide the real amount of money earned by casinos per month or per year. Besides, it depends on the casino reputation and popularity. Fair and customer-oriented online casinos probably make more money compared to the income of the small, less popular gambling sites.

Online casinos have expenses too

Like any other business, companies working in the online gambling industry have to buy services, pay ‘for rent’ and other fees. The highest expense of online casinos is game software providers. A well-reputed casino has at least three partnered softwares, each of them costs about $11,000 a month. In addition, they all take charges from the games when players use it. The monthly charge is about 15% per game.

Apart from the providers, online casinos need to pay for marketing and affiliate programs. It’s again estimated about $12,000 a month. Add to this other payments for hosting, security services, salary to the team and additional expenses. Totally it equals to approximately $25,000 – $30,000 a month.

Yearly revenue of online casinos

Let’s take an average revenue amount of the online gambling industry a year. It’s around $50 billion a year. Thus, about $4 billion each month. It would be simple just to divide the sum by the number of operating online casinos, which is about 4,000 online casinos on the whole Internet. We consider small and big popular casino sites.

Dividing it all, we get $1 million per casino. But as I’ve already mentioned, not every casino works at the fullest. So, there must be about 20% online casinos that make a real profit worth approximately a million dollars.

Presumably, an online casino makes $1,000,000 a month. This sum covers the fixed expenses of $30,000 and payout to players, let’s say it’s $150,000 a month. Saying again, I’m not sure which sums are correct. Anyway, online casinos result in about $800,000 a month, which is approximately $10 million a year.

Online casinos are made for money. However, who owns the money, you or casino? It’s clear to everyone that online casinos always win. First of all, because you lose. And even though you win, this sum isn’t a damage for the gambling site income. So, what is the 100% way to win, and win for real?

You have to understand that gambling is a tricky thing. The main feature is randomness. Thus making a spin you can’t really know what will be the result. Will you win, or lose? It’s impossible to predict. Perhaps, the only method you can apply is using betting strategies and appropriate tips. Below I’ll give you the tips that can lead your game to a beneficial ending. Though I don’t guarantee the 100% winning. The game randomness and your own luck are still priority for the final result.

Use these tips

  1. Choose gambling website wisely. The real money can be given out by the official site only. Make sure it’s not a fraud. The real money casino must obtain licence, official registration and adequate terms & conditions. For more info on how to spot the real online casino, read our blog for the relevant topic.
  2. Bet strategically. Don’t bet too much on the first round. Let the game begin with the minimum bet amount. Probably, the first 5 spins will be failing. Later, when you’ve lost a bit of your deposit, the game will start raising the probability of good results. You’ll feel it. This time you can raise the bet a bit more. But still not all at a time. Analyze the gameplay and bet accordingly.
  3. Stop on time. If you see that you fail constantly, just quit the game. It won’t bring you good results. Try the next time, with the fresh willing to play and win. However, if you still have enough money for several spins, I suggest to lower your bet to the minimum, and play until the RNG decides you need some winnings.

Players are obliged to deposit the minimum amount to the account for receiving the won funds. Otherwise, the transaction will not work.

Wager is a multiplier that shows the minimum amount of bets that a user must place in order to be able to withdraw the winnings. The smaller the size of the wager, the more profitable for you.
