Hey affiliates,


Here’s a breakdown of an interesting campaign where Push Notifications were paired with Gambling offers — and the results were nothing short of impressive. In just one week, the advertiser managed to turn a $900 ad spend into $4,050 revenue, pulling a net profit of $3,150 and hitting a 350% ROI.

Campaign Snapshot​


  • Ad Format: Push Notifications
  • Traffic Source: EvaDav
  • GEOs: Ukraine (UA) & Russia (RU)
  • Duration: 27/05/2019 – 02/06/2019
  • Offers: Two casino brands
  • Targeting: Chrome & Yandex browsers on mobile devices
  • Budget: $900
  • Revenue: $4,050
  • Net Earnings: $3,150
  • ROI: 350%

Offer Structure & CPA Model​


The advertiser ran the campaign on a CPA model, meaning payment was only triggered when a user registered and deposited at least $7. This eliminated wasted spend on non-converting clicks.


  • RU GEO: $50 payout per valid registration (above the average rate for this region).
  • UA GEO: $30 payout per valid registration (slightly above average).

The higher-than-standard payouts played a key role in the decision to focus on these GEOs.


Traffic & Click Costs​


Average CPCs:


  • RU: $0.069
  • UA: $0.031

With these low CPC rates and strong payouts, the advertiser had plenty of room to work with when optimizing.

Funnel & Creative Approach​


The funnel was straightforward:


Push Notification → Landing Page → Offer Registration Page


Both the creatives and the landing page design were simple but effective. The Push ads used engaging copy and attention-grabbing visuals, ensuring a high click-through rate. Importantly, the content of the Push Notification closely matched the landing page messaging — keeping the user’s intent aligned from the moment they clicked through.


Landing Page Design:


  • Minimal distractions
  • Clear bonus offers
  • Prominent call-to-action (big red button)
  • Registration process in less than three clicks

This simplicity kept potential players focused on taking the desired action without overcomplicating the journey.


Optimization: The Blacklist Factor​


One of the biggest contributors to success here was active traffic management. The advertiser closely monitored incoming clicks and quickly blacklisted underperforming sites. By filtering out low-quality sources early, they were able to push more budget toward traffic that was delivering conversions.

Performance Results​


Within the 7-day run:


  • Total Clicks: Over 71,000
  • Revenue: $4,050
  • Net Profit: $3,150
  • ROI: 350%

This level of performance in such a short time shows what’s possible when traffic quality, targeting, and offer payouts are in sync.

Key Takeaways​


  1. Match Payouts with GEO Economics: Higher-than-average payouts in selected GEOs helped maximize profits.
  2. Keep the Funnel Simple: Push notifications leading to an uncluttered landing page improved conversions.
  3. Traffic Source Management is Critical: Quickly removing poor-performing placements ensures budget is spent efficiently.
  4. Creative Consistency Matters: Aligning push copy and visuals with the landing page keeps users engaged and less likely to drop off.
  5. CPA Model Reduces Risk: Paying only for successful deposits meant zero spend on window shoppers.

Conclusion:
Push notifications are far from outdated — when combined with the right offers, they can produce exceptional results. The blend of attractive payouts, low CPCs, and ongoing optimization turned this week-long campaign into a high-ROI success story.


If you’re running gambling or other high-conversion verticals, this strategy is worth testing — just remember to keep your creatives aligned, track performance closely, and don’t hesitate to blacklist poor performers.
