How MonkeyTilt Acquired Players Across 7 Markets at $85 CPA with Blockchain-Ads

Sign-ups and first-time deposits (FTDs)
MonkeyTilt is a crypto-focused casino and sportsbook offering slots, live games, baccarat, and sports betting. It accepts Bitcoin and major cryptocurrencies, targeting crypto-savvy adults seeking high-value bonuses and instant payouts. With a leading 500% deposit bonus up to $10,000 and an instant withdrawal guarantee, MonkeyTilt stands out in reliability and bonus offerings.
Attribution Note: MonkeyTilt's paid acquisition utilizes a network of affiliate partners, each running independent campaigns on Blockchain-Ads with unique creatives and target audiences. This case study reflects the results achievable for MonkeyTilt-aligned advertisers, rather than a single corporate campaign. Results may vary among affiliates based on their focus and creative strategies.
MonkeyTilt needed to identify the highest-converting markets for its crypto-casino and sportsbook offering across a broad initial geo set. They also needed to acquire players at a sustainable CPA while scaling into its best-performing markets, but they faced these challenges:
Blockchain-Ads provided the multi-geo infrastructure and on-chain targeting MonkeyTilt required to test, identify, and scale its best-performing markets within a single platform, offering the following capabilities:
Display campaigns launched across seven markets simultaneously: Canada, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, South Africa, Japan, and Turkey. The launch creative led with a "500% Bonus Up to $10,000." Instant Withdrawals & 24/7 Support" offer against MonkeyTilt's signature dark purple visual identity. Canada immediately produced the strongest performance at an $85.42 CPA, while South Africa, Japan, and Turkey yielded CPAs above $1,800 and were paused. Nordic markets tested in December produced near-zero conversion volumes and were also paused.
Budget consolidated into Canada, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Flux Campaigns launched as a Pmax and retargeting layer across all four markets, running alongside the existing display campaigns. The creative refreshed to test two angles in parallel: an "Instant Payouts & 24/7 Support" reliability message and a refreshed "500% Bonus" offer. Canada continued to anchor performance, with the Flux retargeting campaign delivering 92 conversions at a $206.40 CPA, and Austria producing the strongest DACH result at $169.11 on the display layer.
Five new creative angles launched simultaneously in February to identify which message drove the strongest intent among warm audiences. A social proof angle "Used By Top Crypto Creators" ran alongside a trust-led "Paid. On Time." message, a game-specific "Win $8888 on Baccarat" angle, a QR-code direct response creative, and a "Premium Sportsbook & VIP Casino" dual-positioning banner. Canada remained the primary acquisition market, delivering a further 91 conversions at a $105.92 CPA through the final phase.
