Case Study: Scaling Casino Ads in South Africa in 2025

The Challenge

Scaling advertising campaigns in the casino niche is notoriously difficult, especially without the right tools, resources, and guidance. Our South African casino client faced exactly this challenge: their ad accounts and campaigns were repeatedly restricted, severely limiting growth, reach, and revenue potential.

Without reliable systems, consistent approvals, or strategic support, their campaigns were essentially stagnant. The client approached us seeking a solution that would ensure campaign stability, compliance, and scalable growth.

Our Solution

We immediately assessed the client’s needs and implemented a comprehensive approach tailored to their objectives.

The first step was introducing them to our all-in-one high-risk advertising platform and selecting features best suited to their campaigns. Key capabilities included:

The client provided their creatives—images and videos—which we optimized through targeted coaching sessions to improve approval rates and minimize restrictions.

The Strategy

Our approach combined hands-on coaching with data-driven campaign optimization. The goal was to systematically scale campaigns while maintaining compliance and minimizing risk.

Key strategic steps included:

  • Scaling campaigns incrementally to reach $50K–$100K in monthly ad spend
  • Identifying ad angles that reduce restrictions and improve approvals
  • Providing ongoing optimization guidance to maximize platform tools
  • Guiding the client through a structured 12-week coaching program to overcome the learning curve

By integrating strategy with tools

The results exceeded expectations, demonstrating the power of combining expertise with the right technology.
