How Slots.lv Acquired 492 First-Time Depositors at $36.65 CPA with Blockchain-Ads

First-time deposit acquisition from crypto-active gaming audiences
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.
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.
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:
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:
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.
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.
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.
