01Specification
iGaming turnkey solution
The platform under your own licence, on your own infrastructure. Turnkey iGaming software deployed in your cloud or data centre and connected to your licence, your PSPs and your KYC providers. We build, harden, document, hand over and support. You own the data and the operation. Our implementation takes 6–9 months; the calendar date depends on licence approval and on how fast PSP and content contracts are signed, so every dependency sits on a dated plan.
- 6–9 months implementation; licence approval and third-party contracts set the calendar date
- Project fee + support contract; hosting, content and PSP fees on your own contracts, at cost
- Your AWS, GCP, Hetzner or data centre; full data ownership and residency control
- 99.9% uptime SLA, 4 hours critical response, engineers on the call

02Assembly view
Three layers, two of them yours.
Your brand on top, our engine deployed in your cloud, your licence at the base. The same engine as a white label, assembled differently: the platform runs in your environment and the licence is in your name. Platform1 is the engineering layer, not the owner.
Your brand
Brand, front-end, marketing, affiliates, player relationship and first-line support.
Deployed, hardened, supported
Player accounts, game aggregation, bonus engine, cashier routing, KYC tooling, back office, deployed into your environment and kept current under the support contract.
Your licence
The gaming licence, regulator contact, PSP and studio contracts, merchant accounts, hosting account and the player data in it.

03Parts list
Ten parts. Six modules, plus what makes it turnkey.
What turnkey iGaming software includes: the six platform modules, plus the deliverables a licence application and an in-house team need. The modules are the same as on every route; parts 07 to 10 are what makes it turnkey.

| TK-10 | Training & transfer of control | Back-office training for operations, finance, compliance and support staff; runbook sessions for your technical team; handover of admin accounts and change windows before go-live. | Months 7–9 |
04Deployment options
Three places the platform can run.
The regulator's hosting rules and your infrastructure team decide which. All three use the same deployment tooling, so the choice can change later without a rebuild. The platform and the data stay under your licence and your contract in every case.
Your AWS, GCP or Hetzner account
In the region your licence requires. We provision environments with infrastructure-as-code, deploy and harden the platform and hand you the keys. You pay the cloud provider directly.
- Region selected for data residency
- Encrypted at rest and in transit, daily backups
- Your IAM; our deployment access scoped and audited
Your own hardware
For regulators that require in-country physical hosting, or operators with existing hardware. We specify server and network requirements, install on your virtualisation layer and document the runbook for your team.
- Hardware and network specification provided
- Installation, hardening and monitoring set up on site or remotely
- Runbook and training for your operations team
Platform1-managed, dedicated environment
If you hold the licence but do not want to run infrastructure, we host a dedicated environment for you with ISO 27001-certified cloud providers in the EU or another agreed region, under your licence and your contract.
- Dedicated environment, not shared with other brands
- Monitoring, backups and DDoS protection included
- Can be moved to your own account later
05Who holds what
Three parties, no overlap.
On turnkey, most of the column headed "you" is filled in. A turnkey iGaming solution works when it is clear who owns what. This is the standard allocation between you, Platform1 and the regulator; it goes into the agreement as written here.
| Area | You (operator) | Platform1 | Regulator |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gaming licence | Applicant and holder; corporate and legal file with your advisers | Technical documentation, platform evidence, certification support | Grants, audits and renews the licence; sets the pace |
| Platform & infrastructure | Hosting account, region, hardware or cloud bill | Deployment, hardening, updates, monitoring, SLA | Hosting and data-residency rules |
| Player data | Owner and controller, in your environment | Processor under the support contract, scoped access | Data access and retention rules under the licence |
| Game content | Studio contracts in your name; lobby mix | Aggregation integration, enablement per market | Game certification requirements |
| Payments (PSP) | Merchant accounts, PSP and gateway contracts | Integration, routing, reconciliation | Approved payment rails per market |
| KYC / AML operations | Policy, day-to-day verification, withdrawal approvals, reporting | Tooling and provider integrations | Thresholds, audits, sanctions |
| Brand & marketing | Brand, campaigns, affiliates, budget | Affiliate tracking, CRM and bonus tooling | Advertising rules under the licence |
| Support | First-line player support, in-house or outsourced | Technical escalation, 24/7 monitoring, 4 hours critical response | Complaint escalation under the licence |
| Commercial | All GGR; project fee, support contract and third parties paid by you | Project fee + support contract, no revenue share | Licence fees and gaming tax |
06Timeline
Implementation in 6–9 months. The licence is the long bar.
Deployment is the short bar; licence approval and PSP and studio contracts are the long ones. Our implementation time. The calendar date depends on licence approval, your infrastructure readiness and how fast PSP and content contracts are signed. Dated project plan after discovery, weekly status against it.
Platform1 / your workThird-party contracts: PSPs, studios, licence holder. They set the calendar date
07Pricing
Project fee, support contract. No revenue share.
Turnkey cost: a project fee, a support contract, your own third-party contracts at cost. We quote per project after a scoping call, because licence route, hosting choice and the amount of customisation change the numbers. The structure does not change.
Project fee
Discovery and architecture, deployment and hardening in your environment, integration of your PSPs, KYC and studios, front-end and bonus customisation, certification support, documentation, training and transfer of control. Paid against the milestones in the timeline, itemised in the proposal.
Support contract
Platform updates and security patches on agreed change windows, 24/7 monitoring, the SLA (99.9% uptime target, 4 hours critical response, service credits), new studios and payment methods added as they are released. A fixed amount, independent of your GGR.
Third parties
Hosting with your cloud provider or data centre, PSP and gateway transaction fees, game studio fees, KYC checks, licence and regulator fees, test-lab certification. Contracted and paid by you directly; nothing passes through Platform1 with a mark-up.
Optional extras
Fully custom front-end, bespoke modules on the core, data migration from an existing casino, Platform1-managed hosting (option C in deployment), additional environments for a second brand or market.
What moves the price
The licence route and its certification requirements, whether you deploy to a cloud account or to physical hardware, how many PSPs and studios need integrating on day one, and how far the front-end and bonus logic go beyond the standard product.
What does not
Your GGR (there is no revenue share on turnkey), the number of back-office users, and the number of games you enable from the catalogue.
08Licence routes
You hold the licence. We make the application technically ready.
Platform1 is a technology provider and does not hold a gaming licence. We have delivered platforms for operators under the regimes below and prepare the technical part of each application; your legal advisers handle the corporate and legal part.
| Route | Typical use | Platform & hosting requirements | Indicative timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curaçao (LOK regime) | International brands; the most common first licence. Turnkey or white label both work. | Moderate documentation and hosting requirements. Direct application under the Curaçao Gaming Authority. | 4–10 weeks regulator-dependent |
| Anjouan | Newer international licence with a shorter application cycle. | Documentation requirements similar to Curaçao. | 4–10 weeks regulator-dependent |
| Kahnawake | Operators wanting a longer-established jurisdiction without an EU process. | Platform must run with an approved hosting arrangement; we have deployed under these conditions. | 8–12 weeks regulator-dependent |
| Malta (MGA) | EU-facing operators who need bank and PSP acceptance across Europe. | Stricter technical, reporting and certification requirements, addressed on a turnkey deployment. | 4–6 months regulator-dependent |
| EU / EEA national | Regulated single markets (Estonia, Romania and others). | Country-specific reporting, in-country or EU hosting, regulator data access, local responsible-gaming rules. Turnkey is normally the only route. | 6–12+ months regulator-dependent |
09Turnkey vs white label
When the licence, data and platform have to be yours.
Turnkey is the route when the licence, the data and the platform have to be yours. Here is when white label is the better first step. Same engine either way. The decision is about who holds the licence, where the platform runs and what you want to own in three years.
| Criterion | Turnkey | White label |
|---|---|---|
| Licence | Yours; we support the application | Partner’s (Curaçao, Anjouan, others) |
| Implementation time | 6–9 months; licence approval and contracts set the date | 8–12 weeks from signed agreement; PSP and studio contracts set the date |
| Upfront cost | Project fee for deployment, integration and handover | Setup fee, the lowest of the routes |
| Ongoing cost | Fixed support contract; no revenue share | Revenue share on NGR |
| Infrastructure & data | Your cloud or data centre, full data ownership and residency | Platform1-managed, EU hosting with ISO 27001-certified providers |
| Regulated EU markets | Yes, deployed under your national licence | Usually not; they require the operator’s own licence |
| Customisation | Custom front-end, bonus logic, reporting, integrations and modules on our core | Themes, brand assets, bonus and CRM configuration, content and payment mix |
| Exit | Platform runs in your environment; the contract ends, the operation does not stop | Brand and player relationship are yours; migration to turnkey 10–16 weeks |
This is a first brand or a market test
Lower upfront cost, 8–12 weeks implementation and no licence application of your own. Prove the market first; the move to turnkey later is a planned migration, not a rebuild.
You have no infrastructure or compliance team yet
Turnkey puts hosting, licence reporting and PSP contracts in your name. If nobody in the company owns those yet, a partner licence carries them for you while the team is built.
The regulator, your investors or your exit plan require ownership
Most EU/EEA national regimes require the operator’s own licence and in-country data. Term sheets often require the platform in your environment. Both point to turnkey from day one.
