PlayUnited is the casino player management firm. All correspondence with players will highlight the fact they manage player support form many private lable casinos. As the software provider, and for legal reasons, their name needs to appear in some sections of the software. However, there are no large logos or banners, the software carrys as little branding as possible.

ONCE THE SITE IS SETUP, HOW WILL I MAKE MONEY?
Your primary job as a Private Label Casino owner will be to bring in players to the casino. Therefore promotion and marketing of your online casino will be your primary role in this business and your ability to persuade players to play at your online casino will decide your monthly profits. Some serious promoters of Private Label Casinos promote multiple casinos and make upwards of six figures US or more per month.

HOW CAN I ADVERTISE MY PRIVATE LABEL CASINO?
There are many ways to advertise and promote your Private Label Casino. Both online and offline promotions work well if they are properly targeted at gamblers. For those who can afford to invest in advertising, making huge profits with Private Label Casino can be as easy as placing some advertising targeted at gamblers and waiting for the players to come in. As the profit per player in a casino is very high (approximately $350 US per player) a good advertising campaign can bring in significant profits. Therefore, a Private Label Casino owner who can bring in 100 players per month will make on average $35,000 per month.

I DON'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY. ARE THERE ANY COST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO PROMOTE MY CASINO?

Yes. The nature of the Internet allows a small business to compete with bigger companies that they would have no chance to compete with in the real world. Private Label Casino owners who are looking at generating income with little advertising investment should be prepared to do some work on their own. Although there are a lot of techniques that can be effiective in promoting your Private Label Casino, the ones listed bellow have been proven to work by other successful Private Label Casino owners:

Search Engines
- can bring in a significant amount of traffic for your website. On top of that search engine traffic is highly targeted because people search for what they are looking for. Therefore proper submittion to search engines such as Yahoo, Google, AOL, Alta Vista, MSN, Mama, Teoma and a variety of others is essential to a Private Label Casino. As most companies allow you to submit your site for free, search engines can be an extremely cost efficient way to receive players at your casino.

GamblersLane.com
- Gambling Search Engine is the leading gambling specific search engine. This site is ranked very high in search engines and can potentially drive a lot of targeted gambling traffic for your site. To submit go to: http://www.gamblerslane.com/add_site/

Pay Per Click Advertising
- Some companies such as Overture, Google and All The Web have featured listings which appear on top of the page when people search for certain keywords. These programs are called "Pay per Click" therefore you bid an amount that you would want to pay for each person clicking and coming to your casino site. Bids per keywords range from .05 cents to 1 dollar or more depending on the quality of the keyword. For example the word "casino" which is very popular with search engines will cost more than a keyword like "casino games to play for real" which only a few people search for. Having said that, it's worth mentioning that some Private Label Casino owners make a lot of money targeting niche keywords that don't receive a lot of traffic individually, but when the process is replicated with many keywords the website can receive thousands of visitors.

Link Exchange
- Link exchanges with people who are involved in the gambling industry are another cost efficient way to build traffic for your website. Link exchanges can be very time consuming as they involve emailing as many sites as possible and exchanging links with those sites. Link exchanges can bring in a lot of players to your casino through the links that you place on other people's websites. Therefore a site which has a couple of thousand link exchange partners will bring in significant traffic from those partners. Furthermore, link exchange have proven to be an extremely efficient way to increase your rankings in search engines. Most major search engines take a concept called "link popularity" in consideration when ranking your site. Link popularity is mainly measured through calculating how many outside sites are linking to your website.

Biznizmen Consulting
- Casino Affiliate Experts provides a very cost efficient service to increase link popularity for your gambling website. Their service is excellent and it has proven to be very rewarding for many of our clients who are happy to heave someone working on this time consuming process full time. Link exchanges are traded between an automated system which allows website owners to exchange links with an established gambling network.

CD-ROM Distribution
- can be an amazingly cost efficient way to promote your online casino. As CD's can be replicated at a low cost they allow a Private Label Casino owner to replicate and distribute their own CD's. CD's are great because they get passed around friends and colegues and can be given out in a variety of establishments.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY PLAYERS WIN? DO I NEED TO PAY OUT THE WINNINGS?
No. Winnings are paid out by the software provider PlayUnited which is also why a merchant account is not necessary for you. In the event that a players wins or hits a jackpot you will not to be required to pay that player as the software provider is the merchant and it is insured against these instances. Therefore they handle all the payment processing for your casino web-site. In essence, your site is a marketing agent which receives a percentage on the player's net losses therefore you cannot loose money. In a worst case scenario where your player wins a jackpot your net losses for that month will be negative, therefore you will not receive a commission for that month.

ARE UPGRADES POSSIBLE?
Yes. A Private Label Casino owner can upgrade to a custom package at anytime. Therefore those who wish to purchase an Online Casino-To-Go package can always upgrade later by matching the price difference. This technique has proven to be effective for those who want to test the market with a smaller investment before comiting more serious resources to the business.
