About
Slots.lv

Slots.lv is a prominent online casino offering a deep library of slots, table games, and live dealer experiences to players across global markets. Though not a native Web3 casino, Slots.lv identified crypto-active gaming audiences as a high-value acquisition target. These were users with digital asset holdings, a demonstrated appetite for entertainment spending, and low friction around online deposits. The platform targets recreational players and high-frequency slot enthusiasts seeking accessible, mobile-friendly casino experiences with fast deposit and withdrawal options.

  • Target Audience: Crypto-active casino players, sports bettors, mobile gamers, and blockchain gaming enthusiasts across global markets
  • Growth Stage: Scale-up

A note on attribution: Slots.lv's paid acquisition runs through a network of specialist affiliate partners. Multiple Slots.lv-aligned affiliates operate independent campaigns on Blockchain-Ads, each with its own creative, audience, and geo focus. This case study documents one of those affiliate-managed campaigns. It is presented as representative of the kind of result Blockchain-Ads enables for Slots.lv-aligned advertisers, not as a single Slots.lv corporate campaign. Results across affiliate partners vary based on segment focus and creative discipline.

The Challenge

Slots.lv needed to acquire first-time depositors from crypto-active gaming audiences globally. Thus, reaching players with the digital asset holdings and entertainment spending patterns to convert efficiently at low CPA.

Two challenges defined what that required:

  • Audience fit: Crypto-active players represent a niche but high-value acquisition segment. Reaching them required targeting verified blockchain gamers and casino players, not broad entertainment audiences.
  • Deposit conversion: Moving crypto-native users from initial interest to completed first deposit required strong offer-led creative and precise retargeting to minimise drop-off at the deposit step.

Why Blockchain-Ads

Slots.lv needed a network with verified crypto-active gaming audiences and the inventory to reach high-intent players at scale across global markets.

Blockchain-Ads provided the audience infrastructure and broad global inventory to reach crypto-savvy casino players efficiently through four capabilities:

  • Casino player and sports bettor targeting: Campaigns reached verified casino players and sports bettors with demonstrated gambling engagement and entertainment spending patterns.
  • Blockchain gamer and crypto holder segments: The platform identified users with active crypto holdings and blockchain gaming history, ensuring deposit capacity and platform familiarity.
  • Global pop and display inventory: Pop and display formats delivered broad reach across gaming, entertainment, and crypto platforms in global markets where casino advertising is permitted.
  • CPA-based optimisation: Campaigns optimised toward verified first-time deposits from day one.

Campaign Results

  • First-time depositors: 492 at $36.65 CPA
  • FTD volume: $54,090 generated across the depositing cohort
  • Average first deposit: $109.94 per converting player
  • ROAS: 3.0x return on $18,030 spend
  • Impressions: 2.3M+ delivered across global gaming and crypto inventory
  • CTR: 12.70% blended across all phases (inclusive of pop format)
  • CPC: $0.06 blended across all phases

Campaign Strategy

Phase 1: Learning (Month 1, Weeks 1–2)

The objective was to establish baseline FTD performance across global crypto gaming audiences. Display and pop formats launched simultaneously across gaming, entertainment, and crypto publisher inventory. Display ads led with a bonus offer angle emphasising Slots.lv's welcome package and instant crypto deposit support. Pop ads ran a direct registration angle targeting crypto holders on blockchain gaming platforms. Early data identified casino player and sports bettor segments as the strongest converters, with pop format driving high reach and display delivering stronger deposit completion rates.

Phase 2: Consideration (Month 1–2, Weeks 3–4)

Budget shifted toward display format based on its stronger deposit conversion rate among high-value casino player segments. The welcome bonus and crypto deposit angle continued to outperform on FTD rate. A secondary creative angle highlighting Slots.lv's mobile-first slot library and live dealer experience was tested against mobile gaming and gambling watcher segments. Retargeting tags activated against users who had clicked through but not completed their first deposit.

Phase 3: Acquisition and Retargeting (Month 2, Weeks 5–8)

Retargeting campaigns scaled against non-depositing users from Phases 1 and 2 using the welcome bonus creative as the primary re-engagement angle. Display consolidated into casino player and crypto holder segments across the strongest-performing global markets. Pop was retained for broad reach and new audience prospecting. The campaign closed with 492 verified first-time depositors at $36.65 CPA, $54,090 in FTD volume, and 3.0x ROAS across global markets.
