Each rate applies only to the portion of the price inside that band. A $10m sale pays $400,000, a blended 4.0%.

Why it tapers. iGaming assets change hands at prices where a flat percentage stops being defensible. The work of listing a $40m operator is not eight times the work of listing a $5m one, so the rate falls as the deal grows. Escrow on a free listing is 3% but capped at $25,000, so it never becomes the largest line on a large transaction.

Fee calculator

Enter a sale price and see exactly what each route costs.

Worth doing the arithmetic. On any completion above roughly $1m the waived escrow fee hits its $30,000 cap. That is $30,000 saved against a $999 listing cost, before you count the valuation, the contract drafts and the priority placement.

Blended rates: 8.0% at $2m, 5.6% at $10m, 4.0% at $25m, 3.0% at $50m. The $7,000 engagement fee is credited against whichever figure applies, and the minimum total fee is $35,000.

The engagement fee is $7,000 and comes back to you. It covers the valuation work, the information memorandum and the buyer outreach program, and it is credited in full against the success fee on completion. Escrow is waived on brokered mandates, as it is on premium listings. Mandates below a $1m expected sale price are better served by a premium listing.

Take the brokered route if

  • The asset is above $3m and you want competing offers rather than the first acceptable one
  • You cannot spend eight to ten hours a week fielding buyer questions
  • Your structure is complicated: earn-outs, a partial exit, or a license that will not transfer cleanly
  • You need the sale kept quiet from staff, affiliates and competitors while it is actively marketed
  • Buyers are likely to be operators and funds who never browse a marketplace

Stay self-serve if

  • You already have a buyer and just need verification, contracts and escrow
  • The asset is under $1m, where the $35,000 minimum makes brokerage expensive per dollar
  • Your numbers are clean and your story is simple enough to sell itself
  • You are comfortable negotiating and have a lawyer you trust already engaged

For comparison. Generalist online business brokers charge around 15% on the first $700,000 of a sale, tapering to 8% and then 2.5% above $5m. Lower mid-market M&A advisors work on monthly retainers of $5,000 to $25,000 against a Lehman-style success fee. Our scale sits between the two: no monthly retainer, a single credited engagement fee, and rates that fall to 1.5% on the part of a deal above $50m, which is where iGaming buyouts actually land.

Why sellers use igadeals

Your staff and affiliates hear nothing

Listings publish without the brand name, domain or operating company. Where a single figure would identify the asset we show a range instead. Every buyer signs an NDA before the brand is revealed, and you approve each one by hand.

Every buyer has money on the table

Buyers pass a proof of funds check and place a refundable $50,000 deposit before they can open a data room. It is credited against the purchase price if they buy and returned if they do not, which means the people reading your numbers have already committed something to be there.

You build the data pack once

On a premium listing we reconcile your reported revenue against back office exports and payment statements, then publish a verified summary. Instead of rebuilding a spreadsheet for every enquiry, you send buyers to the same audited set of numbers.

License reality checked upfront

Before you go live we assess whether the asset sells as a share transfer, an asset sale or a migration onto the buyer's license. Deals that collapse in week three usually collapse here, so we price and position around it from the start.

  • Curacao, Anjouan and Tobique typically move by share transfer or sub-license
  • Malta, UK and Isle of Man need change of control approval
  • Affiliate, platform and domain assets have no license dependency

What to have ready

Gathering this before you start makes the listing take about ten minutes

1

Trading history

Monthly GGR, NGR, bonus cost, chargebacks and deposits for the last 24 months, exported from your back office.

2

Player and traffic data

Actives, first-time depositors, retention by cohort, and the split between owned traffic, affiliates and paid media.

3

License and corporate

License type and holder, corporate structure, and whether the operating company is included in the sale.

4

Contracts

Platform, aggregator, payment and affiliate agreements, plus any that need consent to novate.

5

Cost base

Staff, platform fees, license fees, marketing and support, so EBITDA is defensible rather than estimated.

6

Your terms

Asking price or a range, preferred structure, and how long you are willing to stay on for handover.

Questions sellers ask

How much does it cost to sell an iGaming business on igadeals?

A free listing costs nothing upfront. The success fee is tiered, starting at 5% and falling to 1% on the largest deals, with the full scale set out above. A free listing also carries an escrow fee capped at $30,000. A premium listing costs $999, carries the same tiered success fee, and the escrow fee is waived. There is no monthly charge and no retainer on either.

What is the difference between a free and a premium listing?

A free listing publishes your self-reported figures and gives you anonymous exposure and buyer messaging. A premium listing adds a valuation basis benchmarked against comparable closed deals, financials reconciled against your back office data with a verified badge, share and asset purchase agreement drafts, a license transferability assessment, priority placement, direct matching to buyer briefs, and the escrow fee covered by us rather than you.

How much does it cost to hire a broker to sell my iGaming business?

A brokered mandate carries a $7,000 engagement fee, credited in full against the success fee, and a tiered success fee running from 8% down to 1.5%, with a $35,000 minimum. That blends to 5.6% on a $10m sale and 3.0% on a $50m sale. Mandates run for six months on an exclusive basis and escrow is waived.

Is a brokered sale worth it over a premium listing?

It depends on size and on your time. Below about $1m the $35,000 minimum makes brokerage expensive relative to the outcome, and a premium listing with verified figures usually does the job. Above $3m, a broker running competing offers and reaching operators and funds who never browse marketplaces typically moves the final price by more than the fee difference, and at that size a single percent of price is worth more than the entire fee gap. If you already have a buyer, take the premium listing and use us for verification, contracts and escrow instead.

Will anyone know it is my business for sale?

Not until you decide. The public listing carries metrics, license type and market, but no brand, domain or company name. Buyers request access, you review who they are, and only then do they sign an NDA and see the full data room.

Can my gaming license actually be transferred to a buyer?

It depends on the jurisdiction. Curacao, Anjouan and Tobique assets usually move through a share transfer or a new sub-license with notification. Malta, UK and Isle of Man assets need change of control approval, which takes four to six months and can fail. Where approval is unlikely we structure the deal as a migration onto the buyer's license instead, and we tell you that before you list.

Are the buyers serious?

Every buyer passes a proof of funds check and places a refundable $45,000 deposit before they can open a data room. The deposit is credited against the purchase price on completion and returned in full if they do not buy, so browsing is free but reading your numbers is not.

What does verification actually check?

Reported GGR and NGR against back office exports, deposits against payment provider statements, bonus cost and chargeback rates, player concentration, and whether traffic sources are owned or rented. We publish what was checked and what was not, so buyers know the limits of the badge.

How long does it take to sell?

We publish no average time to sell yet, because the honest answer is that we would be quoting an industry figure rather than ours. Completion depends on structure. An asset sale with no license dependency can close two to three weeks after the letter of intent, while a change of control application adds four to six months.

What if I change my mind?

On a free or premium listing there is no exclusivity and no penalty for withdrawing, and you can pause or delete at any time. The $999 premium fee covers work already done and is not refunded once the valuation and verification are complete. A brokered mandate is exclusive for six months, and the $7,000 engagement fee is not refunded if you withdraw, though it is credited against the success fee if you complete.
