    Hi all ,

    I would like to know how I can start my own poker site, and have my own online poker software so people can download and use it (online) just like carbonpoker.com , so they can use real money or fake money . as this is great way to make money!

    Any advice would be great also how much would this all cost me around bouts?

    I've got no idea what the software is like... but I'd imagine that:
    a. You'll need a dedicated server to host the actual server software on.
    b. You'll need a separate (start off shared?) webhost for the actual website to host your files, etc. on
    c. You'll need a big marketing campaign & a lot of SEO work in order to actually get people to play on your room.

    You can buy licences for software for around $20000-$30000 dollars from st minver but you will need hundreds of thousands to get a player base.

    I have owned and sold several poker sites, minimum startup budget you should be looking at is GBP50,000 - dont use the BOSS or the Entraction network, they are both absolute rubbish.. st. minver is no better by the way.
