If you want to start your own sports betting business site but don’t know how, then this is the guide for you. This guide is designed for those looking to enter or operate within the sports betting industry, providing essential insights and steps. Starting a pay per head bookie site with PerHead.CR could not be more accessible, and it will bring you revenue, clients, and a successful business. We will now take you through the entire process, step-by-step, so you understand just how easy it is for you to become a successful bookie agent!
Guide to your own Pay Per Head Bookie Site
How many clients do you have?
The first step is to tell us how many clients you have. This is so we can prepare the website and the account infrastructure. Furthermore, if you have over 250 active players, we can offer discounts on the fee you pay each week for active clients. This is why we want to know this information early on. If you don’t have many or even any clients just yet, don’t worry! There is no shame in being a beginner. You can open your platform anyway, and just keep us in the loop as your number of clients increases. Building your client base is one of the most exciting parts of the process, and PerHead.CR is here to help you every step of the way. Also learn how Bookie Software benefits your clients
How do you want your Pay Per Head Bookie Site to look?
Now, the fun starts. How do you want your site to look? We offer two options for creating your own pay pay per head bookie site. The first is our standard dashboard and site- this is 100% yours and cannot be accessed by anyone except you and your clients, but the design is generic. It comes free of charge, has all the features you need, and works exceptionally well.
If you want something custom designed- perhaps with a logo or exciting color scheme- this is possible too. Our design team can create a fully bespoke, custom-built sports betting platform for you, all for $300. This is the perfect way to build a branded sportsbook website for your clients, with a unique look and top-tier features tailored to your needs. This is significantly less than if you were to hire a web developer and designer yourself! If you want to start off with a generic design and then upgrade at a later date, that is totally fine as well.
What settings do you want?
Next, you need to tell our team how you want your site to function. There are a number of settings related to privacy and security, display, and of course, the different kinds of products and wager types to offer. These customizable options are essential for effective sportsbook management, helping you streamline operations and handle all aspects of running your sportsbook. You can choose the odds, the lines, the limits and everything else related to how you offer and take bets. If you aren’t sure of how to do this, or you want some guidance, we are more than happy to help. We can go through each step of the settings process, allowing you to tailor them to your exact needs.
Do you have master and sub-agents? (permissions)
If you are an established bookie or migrating from another pph service, you may be interested in having master and sub-agent accounts. PerHead.CR allows you to have account holders with different administrative capabilities and permissions. These could be agents with full permissions or sub-agents which have higher but still limited permissions. It all depends on your organization’s structure and whether you have bookies working under you or not. If you don’t, this could be something to consider in the future to increase your reach and revenue. If so, our pay per head sportsbook platform can accommodate!
What about player configuration?
You will also need to configure your players. This means deciding how they will set up their accounts, what they can wageron, how frequently, and various other matters. Our pay per head service supports player configuration and management, making it easier for bookies to tailor player experiences and settings to individual needs. You remain in total control of your players at every moment and have the power to configure each account as you wish. You can also change player limits and features as you go along, for example, offering incentives or limiting wagers from specific individuals. We will be happy to explain to you all of the different ways you can configure your players at the startup stage or once your bookie website is already set up.
Time to make a deposit
It’s almost time to launch. All you have to do now is make a deposit to get your site completely up and running and ready for the first clients! Managing your money effectively at this stage is crucial for the ongoing success and profitability of your sportsbook. Here is how to do it!
How much?
Your initial deposit can be as little as $100 at first, mainly for new bookies. But we recommend depositing around three to four weeks’ worth of fees, based on the number of clients you have. This means you can run your it steadily for some time without having to worry about topping up again. It might also cost you less in processing fees the fewer transactions you do. If you are unsure how much to deposit, just ask, and we will be more than happy to calculate a figure for you.
Payment methods?
We understand that flexibility in payment methods is essential to you, and that is why we offer a range of them. When you want to top up your account, you simply make the payment ensuring it is sent to our details with the correct reference.
We offer payments in both cryptocurrency and fiat currency. Additionally, you can use payment processors such as Venmo, Zelle, PayPal and regular bank deposits. Our sportsbook pay per head model is designed to be both affordable and flexible, allowing you to manage your sportsbook efficiently with competitive rates. If you have another preferred payment method that is not listed, please ask us if it is possible. While we may not be able to guarantee it, we will do our best to accommodate you.
How does a Per Head Bookie Site work?
We only charge you $7 per active client per week. So, for example, if you have 100 clients and only 50 are active over the course of a week, you only pay for that 350. Within that fee, you get your bookie software (includes Pre-Game Betting, Live Betting, Prop Builder, Online Casino, and Horse Racing), website, customer support in English and Spanish at no additional cost at no extra charge.
The pay per head service does the heavy lifting by handling all the complex and time-consuming technical tasks, so you can focus on growth. We deduct the payment from your balance at the end of each week, based on how many of your clients were active during that time. You can stay on top of your balance at all times from your personal dashboard.
When do I top up my Per Head Bookie Site?
The sportsbook industry can be a busy one, and we know sometimes staying on top of administration can be challenging. If you don’t have time to check your balance, don’t worry! When your balance is running low, we will send you a reminder to top up. This helps you avoid any interruption to taking bets or wagers and supports the smooth running of your operations. By topping up promptly, you can prevent any break in betting activity or service for your clients.
Security and Reliability
Security and reliability are non-negotiable. A trusted pay per head service like PerHead.CR understands that your bookie business depends on the safety of your data and the uninterrupted operation of your platform. That’s why our pay per head service is built with advanced encryption protocols and secure servers, ensuring that all sensitive information—whether it’s client details, betting data, or financial transactions—remains protected at all times.
Reliability is just as crucial, especially during major sporting events like the Super Bowl, when betting activity peaks. Our pay per head software is supported by redundant systems and regular updates, minimizing downtime and keeping your sportsbook open no matter what. This means you can focus on taking wagers, managing your clients, and growing with complete control and peace of mind. With PerHead.CR as your pph service provider, you can trust that your sportsbook is secure, stable, and always ready for action.
