How to Buy an Online Casino

Before searching, be specific about what you want. Define your target geography, licensing jurisdiction, revenue range, business type (casino, sportsbook, or both), player count, and acquisition budget. Clarity speeds up the process significantly.

iGacquire provides a curated marketplace of verified listings. Each seller has passed KYC verification and the listing has been reviewed. You can browse public summaries and request confidential access once you sign an NDA. You can also submit an acquisition brief and be matched with off-market opportunities.

After signing the NDA (managed digitally on iGacquire), you gain access to the seller's data room containing financials, player metrics, licence documents, and tech stack details. All access is logged and tracked.

Thorough due diligence is non-negotiable in iGaming. Key areas include: financial verification, licence validity and transferability, software platform audit, player database quality analysis, payment provider relationships, and regulatory compliance history. Use iGacquire's built-in DD checklist.

iGaming deals can be structured as asset purchases (buying the business assets) or share purchases (buying the company). Share purchases transfer all contracts and licences automatically but also inherit liabilities. Asset purchases let you cherry-pick what you acquire. Each has different tax and regulatory implications.

Funds are placed into an independent escrow account. The asset transfer — including licence, platform, and player accounts — is completed and verified before funds are released to the seller. iGacquire supports both fiat (Escrow.com) and crypto (LEXR) settlement.
