I've run
the casino.
Now I help
you run yours.
I'm Judd Muir, founder of KickStart iGaming.
I've spent 18 years in iGaming, 12 of them running my own online casino and bingo brands across grey and regulated markets. I had full P&L responsibility, and it was my money on the line every month, so the business had to work. I covered the CEO, COO and CFO jobs myself, with a small core team and a bench of partners for platform, payments and acquisition.
My background is technical. I was CTO at Active Hotels through its £90m sale to Priceline, after which it became part of Booking.com. In iGaming, I was acting CTO at Winzingo, one of Spain's first online bingo operators, which later became part of 32Red. Alongside my own brands, I spent eight years building and running a free-to-play bingo platform for Partouche, one of France's largest casino groups.
Since 2023 I've worked with operators and startups as a consultant or fractional COO. That means launching new brands, fixing underperforming ones, and setting up the CRM and retention that keeps players depositing after the welcome bonus.
Why KickStart
I talk to a lot of people who want to launch an online casino. Most have the funding sorted, some already have a licence application under way, and nearly all of them ask the same question: where do we start?
They have the money and the motivation. What's missing is the order - what has to be in place at each stage, what can wait, and how the pieces fit together. After 12 years running my own casinos and several more consulting, I've done this enough times to know. The KickStart iGaming Framework is that experience turned into one plan, in four phases - Ready, Set, Go! and Grow - so a new casino launches efficiently and has the best chance of working.
How I work
You deal with me. I run every engagement personally, from the first call to the handover. Depending on what the project needs, I bring in specialists I've worked with for years, and I stay accountable for the result. It's the same lean, partner-led model I ran my own casinos on, and it means you're paying for expertise, not for an office.
