Which ad networks offer native advertising for casino campaigns: content-recommendation and in-feed networks with iGaming verticals, and Telegram native channel posts and bot messages with Adsun.

Quick answer
Native advertising for casino campaigns is offered by in-feed and content-recommendation networks that run an iGaming vertical, by performance networks with native formats, and by Telegram-native networks such as Adsun, whose Native campaigns publish sponsored channel posts and bot messages that look like regular Telegram content, alongside Network placements in Mini Apps and bots. Native formats usually bring more engaged clicks than pop or push, but every creative must still carry 18+ and responsible-gambling messaging.
Key takeaways
- Native = ads that match the surrounding content.
- Adsun Native: channel posts and bot messages.
- Native often gives higher FTD rates than pop traffic.
- Compliance text is still required.
Native options for casinos
- In-feed native networks with gambling verticals.
- Content-recommendation widgets on permitted publishers.

- In-app Mini App placements via Adsun Network.
Native creative tips
- Write like content: a tip, a game review, a match preview.
- One clear call to action.
- Show licence, 18+ and responsible-gambling notices.
- Test headlines before images.
Why 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.
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.
