What Most Casino Startups Fail— GammaStack Joins with Max Kerry to Set the Record Straight

Launching an online casino isn’t the easy shortcut many founders hope for. In a candid, eye-opening interview, GammaStack’s Senior Sales Manager Danila Dzekhs with Max Kerry, founder of License Gentlemen and a top iGaming licensing expert, sheds light on why most online casino startups crash within their first six months—and how to actually build a sustainable, profitable platform in 2025.

With over a decade of combined expertise in iGaming software development and global licensing, Danila and Max cut through the noise and myths swirling around online casino launches. The interview, which has already captivated over 12,000 viewers since its May 1 release, dives into critical industry realities that no one else will tell you:

• The €10,000 Casino Myth: Why launching a serious online casino on a shoestring budget is a recipe for disaster.

• Common Pitfalls: The 3 critical mistakes new operators keep making—and how to dodge them.
• Partnership Power: Why long-term relationships with tech and content providers make or break your business.

“We’re seeing far too many casino startups fall into the trap of quick-launch white label platforms and unrealistic expectations,” said Danila Dzekhs.
