Hello, community! To be a leader in any niche, you need to understand it well. While some areas in affiliate marketing are straightforward and easy to grasp, gambling can be considered an exception. This vertical is extremely diverse, as it has been striving to keep players engaged for decades—and doing so successfully, it must be noted.
Today, we will discuss one gambling game that deserves special attention. Many players head to casinos specifically to play crash games. Therefore, we need to understand what makes this game so appealing, whether it’s worth directing traffic to it, and how to do so effectively.
Before we begin, let’s remind everyone that gambling addiction is a serious issue that requires treatment, not silence. We’ve previously published a comment from a player with an addiction, which we recommend you read.
Crash Games – What Are They?
Modern online casinos offer a wide range of entertainment designed to keep players engaged and spending more, occasionally even allowing small wins.
Crash games are a modern alternative to traditional slot machines. The gameplay involves placing a bet, after which a multiplier begins to increase. If the player stops the multiplier in time, they win. If not—it’s a loss.
Essentially, it’s a game of self-control for the player, combined with the game’s algorithmic quirks. But the main point is the immense popularity of these games, which can be found in nearly every casino. Some affiliates focus on promoting these games, showcasing them in creatives, for example.
One of the most popular games in this genre is Aviator: you place a bet while the plane is on the ground. As it takes off, the multiplier increases the higher it flies. If the player stops the game before the plane crashes, they win. Otherwise, they lose their stake.
Why Pay Attention to Crash Games?
The primary reason to consider crash games, especially if you’re looking for ideas for ad campaigns, is their popularity. This is no coincidence, as they offer:
- A sense of control over the game, giving players the impression that they decide how much they win. Unlike slots, where players push a button and wait for a result, crash games require attention and the ability to stop the multiplier in time before it crashes;
- A foundation for “strategies”, encouraging players to spend even more money. The illusion of control makes players think about and test strategies, even though it’s all an illusion;
- Bright and aggressive design, which is both memorable and helps retain players.
Most importantly, there’s variety. There are numerous crash games with different settings, designs, and mechanics. It’s no surprise that crash games have a dedicated fanbase, making it worthwhile to optimize your ad campaigns for them.
How to Promote Crash Games?
Promoting crash games is not much different from promoting traditional gambling. The key difference lies in the creatives you choose for your campaigns.
Generally, the most effective approach is to promote an app through Facebook. Use thematic creatives that show, for example, the multiplier increasing as a plane flies. The creative would lead to an App Store or Google Play page.
There are also cases of using free traffic through pre-landing pages. In this case, the focus should be on the pre-landing page. Given the specifics of the game, you can create a page with crash-game strategies, followed by a link to the casino. You can promote the pre-landing page link through various methods, from social media spam to creating thematic groups in messengers, for example.
Continuing with messenger-based strategies, you can also use incentivized traffic. Simply convince potential players that you know exactly how the crash game algorithms work and that your strategy guarantees wins. However, be careful. Some advertisers do not accept incentivized traffic, considering it fraudulent.
What Creatives to Use for Crash Games?
It’s crucial to choose high-quality creatives for your ads and campaigns. The most effective options for this case are:
- Gameplay demonstrations. These work well for both new players and those who have been playing in casinos for a while.
- Big wins. As in traditional gambling, showing large winnings works well in crash games.
- Emotions. This safer option also makes it easier to pass moderation. Show a person clearly enjoying themselves, with logos and names of popular crash games in the background.
For a comprehensive approach, you can also use videos of gameplay. However, ensure the video highlights wins—preferably significant ones. Additionally, don’t forget strategies. Even if they don’t guarantee big wins, presenting logical methods for winning more than losing and managing greed can help “legitimize” your incentivized traffic in specific cases.
Conclusion
Crash games are a relatively new trend in gambling. However, there is already substantial competition in this niche, though it’s noticeably less intense than in gambling overall. If you can create an excellent creative, build a solid campaign, and thoroughly test it beforehand, there’s potential to achieve consistently high profits!
