You can find some freelancers if you don't want to hire a big staff and dont have much space for it.
There are coworking spaces as well - where you work and get benefited without creating your new office.

It's a serious business and by just hiring freelancers, it's like a quick and finis task without having the connection from those developers. You may hire them again in the future if there's something wrong with their work mostly for the codes.
Better to hire organizations that would help you build out the entire business and can maintain it for the sake of your customers, that's what it should be because security and maintaining it on its form is a must.

Freelancers might be helpful for after sales stage – the marketing side not the development stage.
Hiring freelancers without fully audit the gaming software or even so will be a pain in the ass in the future use.
Hiring software providers or fulltime developer is a must for casinos, although OP knows how to code but it will take ages before he can finish it or fix it, so.

You said it right, they're good for that purpose like for marketing and customer support. But entrusting them with the whole coding thing, you have to know them very well and you have to be fully committed so that you're going to have no problems with them deploying the entire project and codes.
Because you don't want to have issues when you have some lack of payment to them and their demand or else, they'll make things complicated for you and can even put some ticking bomb on your business if you neglect maybe in payment or anything that they demand as a worker. They're not even bind if you don't give them a contract.

Basic requirement is the capital investment. Prior experience in gambling platforms will help to develop the platform according to the user needs. As mentioned trusted team is a must, because better the development better will be the functioning and the increasing usage of the platform. Even a small problem could make a big loss with the platform. So, there is a need of increased security. Beyond all this trust is much needed, which can be developed through the platforms continued progress without any form of accusation.

So I am interested in starting an online bitcoin casino, yet i have no idea how to start from.
I have a background in coding, and I know the in and outs of integrating crypto, yet i have zero game development skills, and i have no idea how much it will cost, and will it even get users.
Any help would be well appreciated! and looking for partners if anyone wants to start that.

Before planning to make such casino you need to have good experience in game development as well as need blockchain based skills or you will be exposed to certain losses. You can make partner but they have to be honest and trusted and have the good knowledge what you are going to established or else have to loss. Not oqubnly that, you also need to keep in mind that you need a large investment to advertise your casino or gambling platform. If you are confirmed about these things then you are welcome.

Hey guys!

So I am interested in starting an online bitcoin casino, yet i have no idea how to start from.
I have a background in coding, and I know the in and outs of integrating crypto, yet i have zero game development skills, and i have no idea how much it will cost, and will it even get users.

Thank you!

I believe game development skills aren't a big concern, because you can purchase games' codes from some companies. As you have background in coding, you will be able to configure the games as you wish after acquiring them, so you can adapt the style of your platform to the different games disponible.

I know popular gambling websites which didn't fully develop the games they offer by themselves, so it's still possible to be successful doing this.

Your main concerns should be security, initial investment and marketing. Firstly, a kind of hype is needed, so most potential customers as possible will hear about your site. If successful on this aspect, you need a large amount of funds to cover possible initial losses as players win, while having a top notch security system to prevent hacking attempts.

That's why the gambling business attracts many investors to try it but not many business owners can run their gambling business well. In addition to requiring larger capital, it will also have other things to prepare.

Check for the reviews ... do your research
Proper research before investing and once you make a decision - stick to it

Online casino is indeed a good business but it's not that easy to build it even if you are knowledgeable in coding. Even if you manage to create the website alone and get it a license, you will need other staffs that will help you to manage the platform. You will need to think of marketing strategies on how to attract users on your website. You will also need a customer support that will cater to the issues that your users will experience.

Above all, initial capital is the most important. No casino can run efficiently without the flow of funds at the beginning, they must pay their employees, support promotions and marketing, and pay out player winnings. If this is not addressed appropriately, the casino may go bankrupt within its first month.

Simply looking at the launch of a casino will show you that a welcome bonus of 200% is being used to lure new players, the smart players know how to use this effectively and always win at all costs. Now, tell me how the will casino survives with excess bonuses and wins of players, that's the period they begin to play fowl games and begin their bad reputation, most often than not, such casinos usually fold up.

After achieving all this, the biggest problem remains in obtaining the necessary licenses.
Of course, it is possible to launch the casino without licenses, and some countries enable their citizens to launch these services, but then it will be difficult to obtain the trust of users easily. Some trusted members of the forum can do this and then their reputation and history of trust will be the guarantor of the casino's integrity. As for unknown investors, they will need to obtain these licenses.

Yes, getting license it such a pain. For example an online gambling website in my country needs to be verified and legal, because as soon as your website gets users and become well known government will see this, also our banks doesn't accept money came from gambling even legally or not, basically you need the trust of the government and the people, it is very hard to create gambling website in our country, I hope that ts has a good country that will not prevent him or will give him a hard time licensing it.

running and operating a casino or gambling site is no easy feat. this is not for all. aside from all those backbreaking requirements, you should be prepared with enough bankroll to get going. i hope people are thinking hard before jumping on this business. it is no easy peasy to maintain this business also. this is why if you are just half-hearted on this, better not involve yourself on this endeavour.

this a business for Gambling expert and also a literal gambler that has Good amount of capital because we know how long this would take before players do visit and deposit in your site .
trust is what you need to established and gain respect and players.

so with those I think this business is limited to those who has that attitude,.behavior and capacity .

You are right. If the casino can gain the players' trust, they will benefit from its business, where the players will find comfort in playing gambling at the casino. This can't be found in other casinos even though they both build a casino but if one casino can't provide good service, that casino won't be able to develop better. Maybe getting a license is one way to gain the players' trust, but still, better service can give more trust from the players.

That's why the gambling business attracts many investors to try it but not many business owners can run their gambling business well. In addition to requiring larger capital, it will also have other things to prepare.

I guess you need something like business consultant for gambling to give you more specific advice and process in a legal way. Only if you want it to make a legal business.

Opening a gambling business surely will involve a large sum of money from development to deployment and marketing, even aftersales stage.

Now, if you want it to make a DIY way if you don't have enough funds for this and not considering a license, the I guess you should focus on the design, the smoothness of the system, the funds of it.
You should note too that most people in gambling industry preferred playing to licensed ones. Although others preferred not since unlicensed casino means no KYC involve.

Starting a casino needs consultants just like you have mentioned to get the appropriate information about how op can get things done. There will be need for programers and other top positions that are needed in the gambling world. Having a Gambling casino need lots of money and right information to work with the right people that can bring good strategy to make the casino a more interesting one. There are some things that do attract gamblers to casinos which should be the first things op will need to fix and put in place.

I think at most of the cases, gambling owners wannabe are doing their respective homeworks on what are the important things to take note prior oponing a gambling site. For site's bankroll, surely they are prepared for it as there are big whales that might come to the site. Aside from that, they will make sure everything is good before going live.

That's the reason why OP created this thread, to feed the mind with knowledge as maybe there are people that might encounter this thread who really knows how running the gambling sites works or related fields. OP seems to really have a good knowledge about coding and what he needs is those who will backed him on how to integrate his idea to them.

With the coding knowledge you have all you can do is to develop a site which can be a casino but it doesn't make a casino in reality.

To start an online casino first you need to have capital like huge capital to get the license and to manage the bankroll for a while even if you set the highest winning reward is minimal range like only few thousands, then you need to reach the people because there are hundreds of other existing casinos are here so for the marketing alone you need influencers as well as funds.

Launching without obtaining a license is a BIG NO, just like any business, they should acquire a license first before launching. This will save them a lot of troubles and enable them to operate and promote their Casino without any legal worries. Launching with license also boost the trust of possible players on the platform.

OP seems sincere as a newbie in this business so I believe that he wants to make a fair and legal business only not illegal where he can turned in to a scam later on. That one that you suggest, having a consultant is no doubt helpful but here in crypto or in bitcoin, anyone can start their own casinos immediately even without it and I think that having it can only add on the expense and then it can take some time for it to be processed.

Lastly it can demand users to do a kyc, which contradicts to the real purpose of decentralization or anonymity or cryptos. We know that many gamblers are sick and tired of kyc but majority of them values their privacy.

When i say legal it means having a license casino business, because you can run unlicensed too and running unlicensed casino it is not illegal. Crypto casino/gambling starts on full non-kyc, it only require most of them when authorities requires it, that time was when crypto/bitcoin become more popular.

Like you said, anyone here in crypto can start business but op doesnt know how it works so having a consultant is a good move. Since he probably will create his own platform knowing he know to code and will not hire a casino service provider i mean the gaming software companies.

Like what im trying to say, casino asking KYC are those who are licensed since this is required when you are following regulations for the business you build. That means having a casino licensed means asking kyc to your users.
So expect it when you create an account to a licensed casino you will be asked kyc, sooner or later after playing and gaining more wins or facing an issue later.

I think it's good to value your privacy - I was an open book and I had no idea about it unless I have suffered an identity theft issue.
some people are too evil to deal with. They misuse you - and cherry on the top - they blame you and curse you and kick you out of the room, Have you ever met someone like this I have met such kinds of jerks twice.

I feel sorry about your bad experience. I guess that's too traumatic on your part and that's one of the reasons why we can't blame players who don't want to comply with the KYC requirements. There are scammers and users that might steal your personal data which is really dangerous. That's why lots of gamblers prefer casino sites that won't ask us to submit the KYC process.
