The stakes are high in the gambling industry, not just for the players but also for affiliate marketers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traffic is expensive, conversions are uncertain, and operators rely on you to send FTDs like clockwork. One click can make all the difference in this game. But what if we told you that an FTD does not have to cost $30 or even $10, but pennies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These numbers aren’t magic \u2013 they are the results of a slick and precise retargeting mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this article, as previously on the podcast<\/a>, the Peaky Ads team and Sergey Sergienko<\/a>, CEO of Kadam<\/a> ad network, break down how retargeting is achieved in iGaming, why non-funnel traffic is wasting budgets, best-performing retargeting GEOs, and how Kadam empowers affiliates to make FTDs for pennies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is retargeting, and why is it a game-changer for iGaming?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Retargeting <\/strong>is engaging users who have already had some interaction with your product or brand \u2013 perhaps they visited your site, maybe even signed up, but didn’t deposit. Or they deposited once and never came back. These are your most valuable leads: warm, known, and already halfway down the funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The classic example is a person visiting your website, leaving, and now they’re looking at your ads everywhere. That’s retargeting. And if it’s done well, it’s not just a reminder \u2013 it’s a conversion machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retargeting is not «remarketing ads.» It’s about providing the right message at the right time, in the proper manner. In iGaming, push notifications simply work. Sergey highlights that push ads are the king of retargeting<\/strong>. They don’t depend on whether the user is online or not. We send push ads to their devices. So if they registered five minutes ago but didn’t deposit, they get an instant message \u2013 and boom, they deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is a well-thought-out funnel a must for your traffic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most common mistakes new affiliates make is believing that some of their cold traffic will «just convert».<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good landing page or a good bonus will magically work. But real user behavior doesn’t play out according to this fantasy. In the gambling vertical, the user path is long and fragmented. A click is merely the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

«Most users drop off between the click and registration. Then, more users drop off between the signup and the first deposit. If you’re not retargeting them, you’re losing money at every step,» Sergey explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every drop-off in the funnel is a missed opportunity \u2013 and without a system to bring users back, you\u2019re flushing your budget down the drain. Especially in expensive GEOs, where CPCs are steep and CPAs need to stay razor-sharp, retargeting becomes the only way to drive real profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expert tips to build a high-performing funnel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A successful retargeting funnel is not the same for all audience types. It’s a stacked funnel with different user intent and behavior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
