I am no expert but I would try putting some watered down glue there just like I would on any other crack. If that doesn't hold or feel good I am sure you can buy a handle from one of the forum sponsors and attach it.
Finally there is an option of sending it to a professional from the forum.

That isn't a crack just a handle that hasn't been fitted perfectly. Probably won't go anywhere and have seen worse examples than this that didn't budge.
If there is a gap for some glue no harm filling it for peace of mind.

It'll be fine, you could put some glue in if you want peace of mind though.
Out of interest why did you remove the stickers??
-
IMO that's a gap between handle and splice not a crack, is the handle flush with the blade at the front and back. Also you can fill the gap with PVA glue.
-
yeah that is no crack or split it is just the splice fitting that isn't perfect no issue as there will be plenty holding it in there

watered down glue?
And may i how much it would roughly cost me to get a good new handle?

A rehandle may affect the whole balance of the bat
