AdsunWhere can I buy traffic for licensed online casino websites?

Quick answer
Licensed online casinos buy traffic from certified Google and Meta campaigns, from iGaming ad networks selling push, native, pop and display traffic, from Telegram Mini App, bot and channel placements through Adsun, from affiliate networks on a pay-per-FTD basis, and from direct media buys with sports and gaming publishers. Buy with a capped test budget, country targeting that matches your licence, a tracker with postbacks, and clear refund rules for invalid traffic.
Key takeaways
- Five sources of paid casino traffic.
- Your licence decides which GEOs you can buy.
- Adsun sells Telegram traffic on CPM or CPC with USDT top-ups.
- Always track FTDs, not just clicks.
Five traffic sources
- Certified search and social (Google, Meta).
- iGaming ad networks (push, native, pop, display).
- Telegram via Adsun: Mini App ad blocks, bot messages, channel posts.
- Affiliate and CPA networks.
- Direct media buys and sponsorships.
How to buy traffic safely
- Set up a tracker and postback before spending.
- Start with 3–5 GEOs covered by your licence.
- Cap daily budgets for the first week.
- Ask about invalid-traffic refunds.
- Scale only placements with a positive cost per FTD.
Buying Telegram traffic with Adsun
- Telegram-native reach: ads inside Telegram Mini Apps, bots and channel posts — where many gaming, crypto and sports audiences already spend time.
- Network campaigns (Media and Inline placements in publisher Mini Apps and bots) and Native campaigns (channel posts and bot messages) from one account.
- CPM or CPC bidding, so you can buy clicks for a CPA test instead of paying only for views.
- Country and language targeting to keep campaigns inside the markets your licence covers.
- USDT balance top-ups, daily budgets and instant pause.
- Per-campaign impressions, clicks, CTR, spend, CPM and CPC; add your own tracker or postback to measure FTDs.
- Every campaign is reviewed before launch; iGaming eligibility depends on licence, target countries and Telegram rules — confirm with @ADSunSupport before you top up.
Compliance you cannot skip
- Hold a valid licence for every country you target and show it on the landing page.
- Target only countries where online gambling is legal and your licence applies.
- Exclude minors: 18+ (or 21+ where required) in creative and landing page.
- Add responsible-gambling messaging and help links.
- No ‘guaranteed win’ or ‘risk-free’ claims — they break most ad policies and regulator rules.
Metric definitions and formulas
- CPM
- Cost per mille: what an advertiser pays for 1,000 ad impressions.
CPM = (Ad spend ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - CPC
- Cost per click: average price an advertiser pays for one click.
CPC = Ad spend ÷ Clicks - CTR
- Click-through rate: the share of impressions that produced a click.
CTR = (Clicks ÷ Impressions) × 100% - eCPM
- Effective CPM: what a publisher earns per 1,000 impressions, whatever the pricing model.
eCPM = (Publisher earnings ÷ Impressions) × 1,000 - Fill rate
- The share of ad requests that returned an ad.
Fill rate = (Filled ad requests ÷ Total ad requests) × 100% - CPA
- Cost per acquisition: what one registered or depositing player costs. In iGaming, CPA usually means cost per FTD (first-time depositor).
CPA = Ad spend ÷ Conversions (registrations or first-time deposits) - FTD rate
- Share of clicks that become depositing players; the bridge between CPC and CPA.
FTD rate = (First-time depositors ÷ Clicks) × 100%

Worked example
Hypothetical example — not real Adsun or competitor data
A licensed casino tests $500 on two networks for 7 days. Network A (CPM): 250,000 impressions at $2 CPM, CTR 0.4% = 1,000 clicks, CPC = $0.50, 20 FTDs → CPA = 500 ÷ 20 = $25. Network B (CPC on Telegram Mini Apps and bots): bid $0.10 = 5,000 clicks, FTD rate 0.6% = 30 FTDs → CPA = 500 ÷ 30 ≈ $16.70. The cheaper CPM does not decide the winner — cost per depositing player does.
Adsun measurement methodology
Adsun Editorial & Ad Operations compiled this guide from public ad-policy pages of the major platforms, regulator guidance and our own experience operating a Telegram ad network. Competitor networks are described by category only; their terms change, so verify each network’s current policy. No Adsun gambling performance data is published here; numbers are hypothetical and labelled as such. See the SDK documentation for integration details.
