Case Study: Reviving a Stagnant Online Casino with High-LTV Player Acquisition

Posted on March 5, 2025

The challenge was clear: a respected online casino was losing market share. Their brand was solid, but their player acquisition had flatlined. The usual channels were saturated and expensive. Our operation was to bypass the noise and hunt for high-LTV (Lifetime Value) players on unconventional battlegrounds: native ad networks.

Our intelligence identified that high-value slot players over-indexed on financial news and mobile strategy games. We crafted advertorials that mirrored the style of these platforms, telling stories of "strategic wins" and "calculated risks" that led to jackpots. The copy never felt like a direct ad; it felt like a discovery. We AB-tested dozens of headlines, from "The 60-Second Bet That Paid a UK Teacher's Mortgage" to "Is This Online Slot More Strategic Than Chess?". The winning angles were scaled aggressively. The result: a 40% reduction in CPA compared to their existing Facebook campaigns and a 120% increase in first-time deposits over 90 days. We didn't just bring them players; we brought them the right players.
