Trends of 2021
Mobile gambling
In 2017 only 10% percent of all online gamblers used mobile devices, but this rate increased significantly for the next three years, and now almost half of all users joined casinos via smartphones or tablets.
Moreover, the time people use smartphones has increased as well. Mobile operators focused on the apps, and now telecommunication quality distinguishes with high capacity and usability rates.
VR casinos
Virtual reality is a new milestone in the development of online gambling. Many casinos implement this technology to their platforms allowing users to communicate with each other.
The gameplay is held in a special studio. It is live-streamed with 3D cameras that ensure complete immersion into the process.
This year, VR technologies will be implemented on mobile and tablets as well. But there are also some problems. Mobile VR technologies require serious financial investments due to special software. The second issue is the cost of equipment. It may reduce the number of players.
Introduction of blockchain technology
Some casinos think about the full relocation of their clubs to payments via bitcoins. Now lots of casinos allow paying via BTC, but this is just one method.
Many users positively consider full BTC casinos as it may help to remain anonymous. Instant payments are one more advantage of casinos with blockchain technologies.
Gambling push campaign: start and optimization
Even experienced affiliate marketers often face difficulties with choosing a launching and optimization strategy. Here are some tips that will help make a profit from the start and get data for otimization.
Set up conversion tracking
Don’t forget to set up tracking under any circumstances at the launching stage. Postback is the best way to track the success of the campaign.
It allows tracking as accurately as possible and getting the complete data for optimization. This step is necessary if you want to make a profit and perform optimization.
Upload 5 creatives from the start
It’s the easiest way to know which approach converts better. After identifying the most effective approach, it’s time to make all possible creatives with the same method. You will use a new creative when the last version burns out.

Choose English as the language of your creatives
Most gamblers perceive English best. Nevertheless, European GEOs (Germany, France, Italy) also have potential. If you are bilingual, it’s your competitive advantage in Latin American countries. Language skills will help you to make your creatives more unique and original.
Split campaigns for 3G and Wi-Fi
It should be done as the Internet speed may differ seriously, and if you create just one campaign, some users may not see your ads at all. This vital approach will increase your CPA. Later you can track performance for each campaign and leave just the Wi-Fi version.
Set up Google/Facebook Pixels on the landing page
This trick allows gathering information about the gender, age, or interests of the user. Push traffic sources do not include this option, but using pixels, you can get data and later modify creatives and landing pages to get more leads.
