Topic: How profitable Is investing in a crypto casino or sportbook? (Read 436 times)
Not very profitable.
Not really much because there are so many risk need to consider that's why many people said that its not really profitable. Imagine how high the volatility of the market so if you bought yours at the high price then it suddenly drop then this is a huge lose for you and even if the price pump still the earning is few so I guess this investment option on casino is not really worth it if you are a short term thinker. But if you just want to multiply your bitcoin then can able to hold then this might quite decent way for you to earn some returns on your capital used.
I would guess that if you invest into a token of a casino then you could end up losing. But, if the talk is about actually owning one, then I would guess there is a good chance it could be good. I am not saying that it's guaranteed income, but with the house edge, it is quite hard to have a casino business that loses money when you know what you are doing. Only trouble is that people think they can start a good casino business with just a few thousand dollars.At this point, gambling world is so saturated that I would guess one million dollars to start one should be standard, and not even a lot, just common, anything below that means you may not grow big enough to start profiting, the operational costs will be higher than the regular losses.
that would guaranteed out profits even if you do held huge numbers of it which it wouldnt really ensure about profitability.Speaking about investing then it would really be talking about house capital
or funding just like we are seeing on some sites like Bustabit where you could really make out investment on a bankroll which you could really see on how much the site is earning
which would give you the idea and able to calculate it out.

We only know that the casino makes a lot of profit from its business but we will never know the exact amount. I also never thought about how much profit the casino will get. Every casino will be different in number because it also depends on how many people are playing in each casino. In addition, each casino will not want to say the amount of profit they make each month or year because that is their company's privacy.
Only developers know the benefits that the owner of this casino gambling place gets, but at least we must know that making a gambling place like this requires a lot of money and of course it is not easy because every week and even every day there will definitely be an evaluation for the developer to see if there is any bug or not so they don't lose a lot of money, because the capital they use to develop this gambling is also certainly very much so they should try to make a gambling place that is easy to use and always provides bonuses or events to make visitors interested in gambling in its place. The gambling owner cannot relax to enjoy the money he makes because they have to be creative to always increase the users of this gambling place.hero member

I guess it is always profitable to invest in crypto casinos or sportbook because in the long run, the casinos are the one that always makes the profit. As long as you are investing some good amount and are prepared to keep the investment for long term, you will end up with some nice profits.
All the games in crypto casinos has an house edge (casino advantage) and based on that you can predict how much profit you will be making in the long run. If it is a casino with good reputation that allows people to invest, then I would say go ahead and invest. The risks are low.

Recently, I came across information about how much casinos earn and wanted to ask if this data can be extrapolated to the crypto sphere?
Back then when I still had an investment in a casino I earned around 10% after several months of putting my coins in their bankroll but now they've already closed investments. So what Yogee quoted is definitely accurate as the numbers depend on other factors like the players because there are times when a whale comes in and could potentially bring the profits down by a few percentages. Someone tried investing in different casinos back then and here's the thread they made as it might be helpful for you OP.For sportsbooks, i'm guessing the estimated numbers is similar or maybe even more as most bookies usually offer bigger juice on favorites.
Did you mean investing in casino bankroll? It doesn't have any guarantee you will earn profit since it depends on how much the gamblers won or lose and some casinos usually charge a deduction if you withdraw your investment funds. Each casino have vary calculation, percentage, deduction fee and many more.
AFAIK only Bitvest and Bustadice still offer bankroll investment until now.

OP is talking about how profitable crypto-bookies are.
We can't know this honestly exactly but it's clear that reputable bookies and casinos in the crypto-world are making tons of revenue as we speak.
That was just for users playing on their site and does not include the impact that will bring in terms of partnering with a league or something like promotions.
Casinos and sportsbooks can be massively profitable under normal conditions.
~snip~
^Definitely right.~snip~
It can be massively profitable, though we don't have data that can support this I think it is enough that we saw until now there are few sportsbooks or casinos still actively running their business.
Investing in fiat or crypto casinos all includes risk, though not risky as a gambler it is almost the same. So possible it is profitable and also considering the risk too.
Recently, I came across information about how much casinos earn...
I suppose it is an estimate and not an exact amount. You can't always trust the source of these information regarding finance. They are only true temporarily as they are estimated or may become estimates even if they were leaked documents from the casinos as their earnings in my opinion is not fixed. Plus a direct statement from the casino about it doesn't still mean you can take them by their word. I am also interested in how much crypto bookmakers earn on partnerships with football clubs.
They may never disclose an exact amount because they are usually very big, else why will they want to hide it. Full disclosure of the exact amount may attract unwanted attention which may not be good for business. ....
but I bet crypto casinos make more money than fiat casinos if the number of customers and bets are the same since they are less regulated and taxed hehe.

Even if there were changes as you said with the taxes, I don't think it'd be that big since it'd call to reason that it'd then be regulated if it actually was.
A 100% crypto casino licensed somewhere like Curacao or no license at all made $20 million for the same year but only declared $5 million. How much tax do you think they "saved" from their under declaration?

I know that crypto gaming portals are very profitable, but I have never come across information about how much crypto bookmakers can earn. I am especially interested in how the verified of corporate social networks affects the profits of the casino. I am also interested in how much crypto bookmakers earn on partnerships with football clubs. Any information or link to an article would be appreciated!

As showcased above, an $100 bet will on average result in $5 in profit for the book, but that $5 will get split in between the bookie and the book owner.
Let’s assume this simple 3 person structure, gambler → bookie → book owner
Bookies are usually paid a commission at the end of every week on their total books losses. From interviewing a variety of bookies, these commissions often vary from 10-20% (let’s assume 20% because those are the ones that I have seen more often). Meaning that if a bookie has 25 gamblers on his book that each bet an average of $200 in a week, on average the book will go down $10 per gambler ($250 total). This results in $50 of profit for the bookie ($250*.2) and $200 for the book in just one week. Obviously, there might be some marginal costs, like customer acquisition, or a pay-per head service for the book-owner, but raking in $200 a week amounts to over $10,000 a year.

Why would it be any different for the crypto casinos? The only different variable here is that they use crypto instead of FIAT, since the rest of the casino structure is the same, I don't think there are any differences between a crypto sports book and a FIAT sports book.
You already described how them casinos make money. What is the difference that would make a crypto casino more or less profitable than a FIAT casino? (other than their respective player base)
If you think investing in a FIAT casino makes sense, then it should also make sense to invest in a crypto casino.
I've remember my experience on Yolodice where I invest on their casino bankroll and earn good profit after that. They have 4 cryptos e.g. BTC, ETH, LTC and DOGE. Not so many gamblers play using LTC, so if there's a high roller played, the casino bankroll will change more significant than the rest coins. There's a lucky high roller that make huge winning and the profit site was -80%, so most of the investors are rekt. But I start to invest when the bankroll at around -70% and it slowly recover since the high roller is keep losing. It's profitable, depends on your luck too.
I remember this event. It was really painful for investors at 10x hardcore leverage modality, but on long term it was a decent investment anyway. Unfortunatelly there aren't opportunities like this disponible anymore. Now casinos have their own self owned bankroll and don't ask users to partner with them anymore. Besides Yolodice, Crypto Games was very profitable. Before this kind on investment got more recognized, there was a thread on the forum showing the profit made by an investor in different crypto casinos. In one occasion, at Crypto Games he managed to make 50% profit in one year. That is huge interest! 
Casinos and sportsbooks can be massively profitable under normal conditions. Mileage can vary depending on how good or bad the gamblers who use your book are. There have been crypto sportsbooks in the past who attracted a high number of professional gamblers that consistently won. It may be an unwinnable nightmare scenario for a book. Needless to say the book became unable to pay its winners and it was forced to close.
Gambling itself could be considered entertainment in the hospitality sector. An area which usually takes a big hit during eras of recession and inflation. Disposable income in 2022 isn't what it used to be thanks to rising fuel and food costs. Which could in turn exact a heavy toll upon entertainment and hospitality sectors like gambling.
Regulation for crypto based gambling also appears to be ramping up. As is anti money laundering (AML) regulation.
A booming economy where everyone has excess money to burn is the ideal time to open a casino. The current era with its bullish appearance perhaps not so much.

Is it about investing in crypto casinos like what most gambling sites have features here. i.e. Yolodice (closed), Bustadice, etc...
Because they are profitable long-term but it's the reputation that you have to look out for.
Or is it about how much the bookies make?
I don't think there will be an answer here for that will be kept in secrecy. OP, are you trying to make an online gambling site or trying to be a bookie?
Exactly. My first thought is OP might want to start his own sports betting site. This won't be an easy task. The money invested alone to start is already difficult and very expensive and the next step is the marketing, maintenance, and of course its staff. And there are also no guarantees if the house will win but long term it should start to earn slowly. His sample of $10,000 earned in a year or let's say $40,000 net income in a year for 100 players. I think it is still not reasonable if the starting capital is worth a million dollars or even more.

Bookmakers worth is increasing after they were established, they earn a lot of money from punters, but to know the exact amount can not be accurately known unless you directly request for that from each bookmakers. As it is in fiat bookmakers, it is like that also in with crypto bookmakers, if the bookmaker has good reputation with excellent services and good customer care, people using the betting site will be increasing and the more would be the income. If you want to venture into establishing a sport betting site or you want to be an investor, it is a good idea because it is a profitable business. 
Both are profitable if you are the operator, however, if you are just investing, it would not give you much profit unless you are a major investor. About the question, both casino and sportsbook are a billion dollars industry, so it's a lucrative business for those who have good capital.
