What is pay per head, and what do I need to know?

Pay per head refers to a business model that provides bookies with a fully-fledged online gambling site to offer their players whereby payment is made based on how many people gamble on the site. Instead of investing in an expensive custom-built site and dealing with licensing, the bookie uses an off-the-shelf version that allows them to run an online betting business, supervise agents, and allow players to create their own accounts and bet.

Payment is made based on how many players were active in the last week, with no commissions or other kinds of payments necessary. Of course, if you have live dealer games or dynamic live betting, there can be additional costs.

In short, pay-per-head allows bookies to run a professional betting business with little investment. They can manage their betting activity via mobile or computer, around the clock and remotely, with all activity occurring online. With Bookie Helper’s smart reporting feature, they can also stay on top of all bets and use it to make smart strategic decisions.

How do payments work with pay-per-head?

When you partner with Bookie Helper, all payments to and from your players are managed by you outside of the platform. This means we do not have any records or data on how much your players deposit with you or are paid out.

For bookies, this provides financial control and privacy, and for players, it allows them to gamble without having to report their winnings. This element of confidentiality is a massive bonus for operators and players alike, and it will help encourage them to gamble more often and with more money. Through our platform, all bets are placed and recorded, but you remain in control when it comes to the financial aspect. This means you can choose whether to accept payment in cash, via payment apps, or even in cryptocurrency.

What about pay-per-head fees?

Bookie Helper charges a set fee for each active player each week. For example, if you have 200 players and only 150 bettors in one week, you only pay the fee for those 150 players. This allows you to scale your business up and down with no risk or investment, and it does not penalize you during the off-season or slow periods.

Our fee starts from $5 per active player per week, but as the number of players grows, you can negotiate special rates with us. All we ask is that you deposit enough funds to cover your players for a few weeks. We will deduct fees every seven days, providing you with a breakdown of the activity. When your funds are running low, we will notify you that it is time to top up again.

Is pay-per-head secure?

When you partner with Bookie Helper, you enjoy our platform, which is safe, private, and secured with encryption. Furthermore, your players do not have to share their personal information with us, and they can even use pseudonyms when they open our account.

As there is no personal or payment data shared through the platform, the risk of leaks, breaches, or hacks is significantly reduced. This will give you more peace of mind and is a big selling point for your players. That said, we take security very seriously and are happy to answer any questions you might have, or respond to any issues when they arise.
