GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue)
GGR, or gross gaming revenue, is the total amount players wagered minus the total amount they won over a given period.
The formula is simply GGR = total bets − total wins. If players stake 100,000 in a month and win back 95,000, GGR is 5,000. It measures what the games earned before any costs are taken out.
NGR, net gaming revenue, is GGR minus deductions such as bonus cost, payment fees, gaming taxes and platform fees. Suppliers usually price on GGR because it is unambiguous and calculable from the round ledger alone; operators plan on NGR because that is what is left.
Revenue-share commission is normally a percentage of GGR. AS Tech API charges a flat 10% of GGR on every provider and every vertical, deducted from a prepaid balance as rounds settle, with rejected wallet callbacks excluded from the calculation entirely.
- GGR = total bets − total wins for the period
- NGR = GGR − bonuses, fees, taxes and platform costs
- Negative GGR is possible in a short period after a large win
- Voided or rejected rounds must be excluded from both sides
Frequently asked questions
Can GGR be negative?
Yes. Over a short window a single large win can exceed total stakes, producing negative GGR. Over a long enough period the house edge makes it positive.
Does GGR include bonus money?
Bets placed with bonus funds usually count in GGR but are then deducted when calculating NGR. The treatment should be written into the supplier agreement.
