Development of white-label platforms and their market share
Introduction
White-label platforms have become one of the key drivers of the development of online gambling in Australia. They allow operators to run casinos without having to build a product from scratch, using a ready-made infrastructure with licensing, payments, games and marketing tools. This lowers the barrier to entry and accelerates the launch of new brands.
What is a white-label platform
White-label solution is a ready-made software package for online casinos, provided by the provider under the customer's brand. The client receives:
- license and legal support,
- catalog of games from leading developers,
- payment systems (including AUD support),
- Analytics and CRM tools
- technical support and updates.
The operator remains focused on branding and promotion.
Reasons for the growth of white-label solutions in Australia
1. Regulatory barriers - many startups are not ready to go through a long licensing process.
2. Reduced launch time - the platform takes weeks, not months, to deploy.
3. Customization flexibility - the ability to adapt the interface, bonus programs and payment methods to local preferences.
4. Cost reduction - renting technology is cheaper than in-house development.
5. The growth in demand for niche projects is the emergence of brands aimed at specific audiences: high rollers, mobile players, cryptocurrency lovers.
White-label platforms market share
According to analysts:
- For 2024, about 35-40% of all new online casinos in Australia are launched on white-label solutions.
- The largest providers record annual growth in the range of 10-15%.
- In the segment of small and medium-sized operators, the share reaches 60%, since they do not have the resources for their own development.
