Make eye-catching creatives

This year the way to promote Gambling is just the same. As usual you need to make sure your ad copy provokes interest in as many potential clients as possible. To do this, you need to use several working hacks we’ll provide below.

  • Apply direct address. A user must have the feeling that it’s not an ad, but a personal message. to actually believe that he has a chance to win. You can create this effect by using phrases like “you won” or “take your bonus”, and some catchy image.
  • Tell stories about winning. Yes, this is still a thing for online casino promotion, make sure the story is about an ordinary person and sounds plausible. This will inspire a thought of real winning in your potential customer’s mind.
  • Use gamification. You can show spin-wins, slots and any other elements of your choice to lure your audience. This works especially well not only on creatives, but also for landing pages, make sure to use it in your funnel. 
  • Hit at the desire to get rich. Most people gamble and engage in online casinos not just for fun, they want or even need to get as much money as possible. Take this desire and use it on your creatives!

Important: use at least 5-10 creatives per campaign to get enough data on further optimization. If you don’t have time or ideas on images, you can contact your manager at RichAds and get free creatives.

Go out of the box with traffic sources

Undoubtedly, Facebook, Google, SEO, and ASO traffic channels are widely used as the basics of a casino marketing strategy, and will still be on top in 2023. But the more popular a traffic channel is, the higher competition it has, so the smartest way is to think out of the box and try new channels of traffic.

If you’re tired of bans and restrictions, we’d recommend trying more traffic sources in 2023, specifically push and direct click formats at RichAds. Let’s have a closer look at each of them to understand why they’re so relevant for Gambling and attract people to online casinos.

  1. Engaged audience. This is especially relevant for direct click ads (also known as domain redirect traffic) as they target only warm and interested users by redirecting them to your offer page.
  2. Loyal content policy. No need to come up with tricks and puzzle over making suitable images not to get banned, everything’s allowed for both of the formats, there are no limitations at all.
  3. Huge traffic volumes. As an example we can take daily impressions for the most popular Gambling countries at RichAds — Germany is 33.9 million, in Brazil it’s 35.2 million and Mexico — 20.3 million.
  4. Affordable price. To be precise, CPC starts from 0.003 for push ads, which is quite a good deal. The direct click format is a bit more expensive, but the CR is higher, it actually is skyrocketing. 

Optimize your campaigns with AI tools

No one can argue that automation is key in 2023 and actually is the future of affiliate marketing, no marketer wants to spend a great deal of time doing manual optimization daily, if this can be done faster. If you promote gambling offers and want to speed up the process, make sure you implement the AI tools!

Performance Mode: daily assistance

Wanna boost your CR by 253% and decrease your CPA by 79% without any efforts? Performance mode algorithm is a perfect solution without any doubt. It works to your advantage really simply — the feature creates black- and whitelists automatically according to your targeting, and does it on a daily basis. What’s more, you don’t need to bother setting up conversion tracking, the algorithm works without it.

Automated rules: cutting off the expenses

Another way to spend less time on optimization is to set up the rules that will automatically turn off irrelevant sources for your campaign. The Automated Rules algorithm will recheck publishers or sites in correspondence with your desired CPA and cut off the ones that do not bring conversions or are too expensive, no more actions are required from you.

Target CPA: conversions at the desired price

This feature is also dead simple — you just set up a usual campaign writing down your desired cost per conversion aka Target CPA, and that’s it! The algorithm will create black- and whitelists as well as do Micro bidding for you to fit into this conversion goal. You just need to set up the postback for the feature to work, and again no more time and efforts are required.
