Casino GGR Calculation — How Gross Gaming Revenue Works

Casino GGR Calculation — How Gross Gaming Revenue Works

Understanding GGR is fundamental to running a profitable casino business. This guide explains everything operators need to know about Gross Gaming Revenue.

What is GGR?

GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue) is the primary metric for measuring casino profitability. It represents the total amount wagered by players minus the total amount won by players.

Formula: GGR = Total Bets - Total Wins

GGR Example

If your players bet ₹10,00,000 in a month and win ₹9,20,000:

• GGR = ₹10,00,000 - ₹9,20,000 = ₹80,000
• This ₹80,000 is the revenue generated from gaming activity

Revenue Split Structure

In a typical API aggregator model:

1. Total GGR: ₹80,000 (100%)
2. Platform Fee: ₹8,000 (10% — paid to API aggregator)
3. Operator Revenue: ₹72,000 (90% — your profit)

With NoviSoft, commission rates are competitive:

• Standard: 10% of positive GGR
• Volume discounts available
• Transparent real-time reporting

How Commission Works in Multi-Tier System

Admin → Reseller → Operator

Example with ₹1,00,000 GGR:

• Admin Revenue: ₹5,000 (5%)
• Reseller Commission: ₹5,000 (5%)
• Operator Revenue: ₹90,000 (90%)

GGR by Game Type

Different game types generate different GGR margins:

Factors Affecting GGR

1. Player Volume: More active players = higher GGR
2. Average Bet Size: Higher bets = proportionally higher GGR
3. Game Selection: Different games have different house edges
4. Player Retention: Returning players generate consistent GGR
5. Bonus Management: Bonuses reduce effective GGR

NGR vs GGR

NGR (Net Gaming Revenue) = GGR - Bonuses - Taxes - Chargebacks

While GGR is the top-line metric, NGR is your actual profit. Keep bonuses and operational costs in check for healthy NGR margins.

NoviSoft pricing explained

NoviSoft is a paid B2B service. The full API package costs $350 USD as a one-time payment. This package payment is separate from the ongoing revenue share of 10% of positive GGR. GGR means settled real-money bets minus settled real-money wins for the settlement period.

For an illustrative example, if settled bets are $10,000 and settled wins are $8,000, positive GGR is $2,000. The 10% NoviSoft revenue share would therefore be $200. This is a calculation example, not a revenue forecast. Hosting, licensing, payment processing, marketing, taxes and jurisdiction-specific compliance are separate operator responsibilities.
