Fixed-Cost Model

Fixed-Cost Model

By operating with the unique, performance-based pricing models offered by iGaming Builders, operators reap tremendous business operational benefits and significant competitive advantages.

In an industry traditionally burdened by high upfront capital expenditures (CapEx), hidden fees, and escalating royalty structures, these models—licensing the iGB QUANTUM platform at 5% GGR and the Managed Services Suite (including B2B management) at 10% GGR—represent a paradigm shift toward "Shared Success" economics.

Part 1: iGB QUANTUM iGaming Platform Licensing (5% of GGR)

This model replaces the traditional high upfront licensing fees and variable revenue shares (often 10%–15%+) with a fixed, lower percentage of monthly Gross Gaming Revenue.

Business Operational Benefits

Zero CapEx / Zero Financial Risk: The most significant operational benefit is the elimination of a massive initial investment. Operators do not need to burn through their startup capital to acquire the technology. This preserves cash flow for critical areas like marketing, branding, and player acquisition from Day 1.

Predictable OPEX: While the cost is variable, the rate is fixed. As an operator, you know exactly what your technical cost will be relative to your revenue. There are no surprise invoices for server overages, hidden API usage fees, or mandatory "support packs." The accounting is simple: if you generate revenue, you pay the agreed percentage.

Alignment of Interests (Skin in the Game): Because iGaming Builders is paid a percentage of GGR, we are incentivized to ensure the platform is always operational, fast, and converting players. We become a true business partner rather than just a software landlord; we only succeed when you succeed.

Significant Competitive Advantages

Gross Margin Expansion: The industry standard for platform licensing often sits between 10% and 20% when factoring in base fees, maintenance, and transaction charges. By locking in a 5% GGR model, operators instantly gain a 5–15% gross margin advantage over competitors using traditional pricing models. This allows for more aggressive bonus offerings or higher marketing bids to steal market share.

Unlimited Scalability Without Tiered Penalties: Many vendors increase their percentage cut as an operator's volume grows (tiered royalties). The iGaming Builders 5% fixed rate does not penalize success. As an operator scales from $1M to $10M GGR, their relative cost of technology remains stable, protecting their profitability at scale.

Reinvestment Capability: The money saved on licensing fees (compared to the market average) can be reinvested directly into the product. Operators can afford to purchase better game content, offer higher RTP (Return to Player) settings to attract players, or fund superior affiliate deals.

Part 2: Managed Services Suite & B2B Program Management (10% of GGR)

This optional add-on covers the full spectrum of operations, including DevOps, 24/7 support, compliance, marketing/advertising, and the specialized management of a B2B white label network (sub-operators).

Business Operational Benefits

"Plug-and-Play" Executive Team: Recruiting a CTO, Head of Compliance, DevOps Engineers, Marketing Director, and a B2B Program Manager is expensive, time-consuming, and risky. This model provides an instant, elite "Dream Team" at a fraction of the cost of building an internal department. The operator skips the recruitment phase and the HR overhead.

Effortless B2B Scaling: Managing sub-operators (white labels) is operationally complex. It requires handling their technical tickets, managing their payment flows, and ensuring their compliance. By including B2B Program Management in the 10% fee, iGaming Builders handles this heavy lifting. The operator acts as the "Brand Owner" while iGaming Builders acts as the "Back Office," allowing the operator to onboard dozens of sub-operators without adding a single internal staff member.

24/7/365 Operational Continuity: Downtime equals lost revenue. This model ensures that there is always someone watching the store. Whether it is a server crash on Christmas Day or a failed payment integration during the Super Bowl, the Managed Services team handles it, allowing the operator's leadership to sleep at night.

Significant Competitive Advantages

Superior Operational Resilience: Small to mid-sized operators usually cannot afford 24/7 DevOps monitoring. By utilizing this model, they gain the operational resilience of a Tier-1 operator (like Bet365 or FanDuel) without the massive payroll. They can handle traffic spikes and DDoS attacks that would cripple a competitor running on a shoestring budget.

Access to Niche Expertise: The pool of talent that understands iGaming compliance, crypto payments, and multitenancy is small and expensive. This model gives the operator access to that specific expertise instantly. They don't just get generic IT support; they get specialists who understand the nuances of GLI-19 certification and sportsbook latency.

Rapid Feature Deployment: With an in-house team, feature requests can get stuck in a backlog. With the Managed Services Suite, the operator can leverage the broader development roadmap of iGaming Builders. If one client requests a feature that benefits the platform, everyone gets it. The operator essentially gains a massive R&D department working for them.

Summary: The "15% Total" Advantage

When combined (5% for the Platform + 10% for Managed Services), the operator pays a total of 15% of GGR for a fully managed, enterprise-grade, scalable, and B2B-ready operation.

The Ultimate Competitive Advantage:

In the iGaming industry, it is not uncommon for the combined cost of Technology (License + Hosting), Operations (Staff + Office + Software), and Management to exceed 30–40% of GGR for a mid-sized operator. By utilizing the iGaming Builders model, an operator will significantly reduce their operational overhead.

This creates a massive war chest, allowing the operator to outspend competitors on marketing, offer better bonuses to players, and ultimately dominate their market niche while maintaining healthier profit margins.
