Seven places to promote a betting site
- Certified Google Ads and Meta.
- iGaming networks with sports verticals.

- Tipster and odds-comparison affiliates.
- Sports news publishers.
- Podcasts and streams that permit betting sponsorships.
- SEO pages for leagues, fixtures and markets.
Adsun for sports betting
- 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.
