How MetaWin Scaled Crypto Casino Acquisitions Across 10+ Markets with Blockchain-Ads

First-time deposit acquisition across multiple international markets
MetaWin is a crypto-native prize casino where players deposit and compete for large cash prize pools. Its core mechanic is the prize drop, where depositors enter draws for multi-million dollar cash events. The platform targets crypto holders who want provable prize outcomes over conventional house-edge gameplay. MetaWin operates across multiple crypto-permissive markets and targets a mid-to-high-value depositor base.
A note on attribution: MetaWin's paid acquisition is carried out through a network of affiliate partners, each running independent campaigns on Blockchain-Ads with their own creative approach and geo focus. This case study covers one such affiliate-managed campaign, and the results shown reflect what the platform can deliver for MetaWin-aligned partners rather than a single corporate initiative. Performance varies across affiliates depending on market selection and creative execution.
MetaWin needed to scale first-time deposit acquisition across multiple international markets without access to mainstream paid channels. Three obstacles defined the campaign from the start:
Google and Meta restrict crypto-casino advertising in Canada, France, and the DACH and Nordic regions, leaving MetaWin without a compliant path to its core depositor audience through standard networks. Blockchain-Ads provided the reach and targeting infrastructure to run a multi-market acquisition campaign from a single platform, through four key capabilities:
The campaign launched in Canada with a single display campaign targeting Web3 audiences. The creative led with a 30% deposit boost offer, designed to convert crypto holders already familiar with casino deposit mechanics. Canada delivered a CPA of $197.54, establishing the baseline.
Geo expansion launched across seven new markets. DACH, Nordics, France, Worldwide, and Canada iGaming interest segments were all activated. A new creative replaced the deposit boost. The $3 Million Cash Drop creative repositioned MetaWin around its prize pool mechanic. DACH emerged as the breakout market with a CPA of $44.77. France converted at $89.80. Hong Kong and Japan were activated and paused after returning zero conversions.
New Zealand and a Canadian Flux Campaign were added in the final week. The Flux Campaign ran automated optimisation across Canada and delivered a CPA of $111.28. New Zealand converted at $197.07. The $3 Million Cash Drop creative ran across all active geos. The campaign closed with 533 total conversions across 13 active geo-campaign combinations.
