Bitcoin Forum

Hey hey hey!
I was wondering what the best places are to advertise a fully bitcoin gambling site? Your advice is highly appreciated!

Depends on the scale. If you do not plan to go big im guessing some signature campaigns and twitter campaigns can help you out.
If you do have serious plans to promote your site you need to look towards media buys etc.

what kind of stuff you want to advertise are you preparing to launch a new gambling site or affiliate link to get referral?

By media buys do you mean, paid press releases, articles etc?

I saw some faucets have ads for gambling sites
but I think it's useless since that most people that use faucet are new to bitcoins or at least they don't have the funds to gamble
I think this is the best place to advertise the site
simply open a thread and if u have the funds to make a signature campaign then this will be great

a new gambling site

Edit. my responses take some time since i'm a newbie  ::)

Bing, Google ads, TrafficVance, Lead Impact etc. I would also suggest you try retargeting ad companies. And on top of that email campaigns.
But as said this is only if you wish to go big since it can cost quite a lot.

If you want to advertise gambling site then you have reached to right place.Advertise your gambling site on this thread by various methods for example  some giveaway,no deposit bonus,twitter and facebook are the best ways.These days proper marketing and advertisement do magic affect on any business.

I think there are loads of PTC and Bux sites where you can easily purchase cheap advertising and expose your site to lots of investors.

is there not review sites, other forums, bitcoin gambling whales, etc that should be contacted?

Costs are not a concern. I want to find out how the big boys do it

These schemes will only increase the amount of people coming to your site, i'm sure the conversion rate for a PTC & Bux scheme is barely above 0% or non-existent.

You can run sig campaign, promotional giveaways and you can place your ads in high traffic bitcoin faucets

The best way to advertise your bitcoin gambling site is on this forum.
So that means putting buying signature campaigns and twitter ones as well

High traffic faucets? I dont think it will be good because some of high traffic faucets got many bot and some of them dont even care about that advertising because they are just focus on their faucets that giving them some income altough that is a little bit low. May be I can suggest to do signature campaign that have a competitive rate so many people want to apply and buying some banner in blog. I guess some of them are posted in here

great answers so far. Is there not ad networks that advertise only bitcoin casinos or something similar to that?

You should advertise on some forums, gambling listing sites, etc !

Best places to advertise a BTC gambling would be in a BTC gambling review sites. People are looking for reviews before trying on the actual sites

Having the review sites to review your sites will be consider as an advertising since if the review of your site is good then you can expect more people to try your site. Some BTC gambling reviews site issue up an advertisement slot as well and this could be your opportunity if you want to an extra advertising at their homepage

I would suggest two sites to you

#1 https://thebitcoinstrip.com/

#2 http://cryptobettingindex.com/

Both sites are great for advertisement and bitcoinstrip has been doing honest review for all the sites here.

P.S : some sites may be biased on their reviews depending on what you "pay" them

Thanks for your response.
Very nice, is there any others like these two review sites? Are these the ones most of you use?

There is alot of other review sites but I dont keep a track on that (try googling them) . I use bitcoinstrip mainly because they provide a honest review of the each site. Most review's are biased on the other sites because the site owner pay them to give the site a good review and high rating but bitcoinstrip is different

As for cryptobettingindex, I dont use really use but I am just suggesting it since the traffic for that sites seems to be quite high and alot of sites in this sections promotes their services there as well.

Maybe running a sig campaign here at bitcointalk plus social media campaign can help you advertise your site. You can bid on forum ads too if you have a budget for it.

So to recap from all the last comments:

Signature campaigns are very effective.
Social Media campaigns are also very effective.

Review sites are necessary.

Sig campaigns are overrated,  people mostly want them as a source of income and post count boosting. Don't believe the hype :)

That's what I initially thought, it may just be a form to make some small income on the side for some people...

If that's hype, then what's the best way do you think Altcoin4life?

Correct. Alot of campaign has fallen down because they dont see any traffic increasing because of the campaign. Bitcoinpokergg, allincrypto and girlbtc.com is a good example of that

@definiteidea.

How about advertising your websites in a faucet sites like freebitco.in? this is the faucet sites with most visitors but the price is quite high comparing to the other faucet

I noticed a few new sites promoting casinos specifically in the gambling section of this forum. I don't have the links but I would start there. Many of the old ones are defunct or no longer current. Stick with the new ones as they have the current initiative to actively help this industry.  

Edited to say I really wish there was a better forum with higher traffic than this one for bitcoin casinos.  No offense to theymos but this site is very dated and filled with non related stuff.

You could start a signature campaign in bitcointalk or buy a banner in the forum, these ways are really efective
Also,you need promos for the beginning to let users test the site,and have some feedback to give them a better experience

Yap, signature campaign will always be the most suggested idea when some new sites ask for opinion how to advertise their site to attract people. But bear in mind that it wont be always successful, and you will need to spend lot of money to compete with other campaigns. Signature campaign with high rate is also not a guarantee that you will get much attention, it should be followed by interesting promotions. So I suggest you to do some promotions first like no deposit bonus, beta testing reward, bonus for first xxx registered user, deposit bonus etc depends on your budget :)
And I think, this forum is the best place to advertise your site..and dont forget to advertise it on other bitcoin forums which has good traffic.

Well you could limit your sig campaign to hero members and above for example, i dont think twitter or facebook advertising is that good unless you make an audit of each account since most of them have bots, fake people, etc. so they would be pretty much advertising your site to no one.

Good giveaways is more than enough in this section or games and rounds to start promoting your site

u can purchase ad space and advertising here. ull get more customers here if Its fully integrated with bitcoin

Good advice, i'll definitely allow for users to test the site and to give back feedback.

I would suggest purchasing adspace here as well as working on SEO. These are the only 2 ways I came across most of the other sites and is how the majority of people do as well.

Just dont go the cheap way and advertise on faucets, the best places to advertise are here on the forum and on investment sites

https://btcclicks.com

coinad.com

Of course right here in the gambling section and like already mentioned high paying faucets offer ad space on their websites that are affordable.

And don't forget to make a twitter and facebook for your website!  It's free and social media is one of the best forms of advertising IMO GL :)

It's all about your imagination too.  Imagine where people are looking.  Find popular message boards and find out if it's okay to advertise there.  Don't underestimate social media like FB and twitter.  Hard work pays off in advertising and if you are willing to manually engage with as many platforms and forums then you will also be successful at getting those eyeballs on your advertisement!

consider my faucet:

www.bitcoinrush .tk (without space)

from 0.05 per month.

(Russia and Ukraine blockade)

There is option to post ad on other faucets too - more faucets = less price ;)

If you want to have effective advertising for a Bitcoin gambling site - I'd highly advise that you advertise on the forum itself (theymos sells ad space each and every month) which would reach a large number of users - or you could try the much suggested method of a signature campaign alongside bonuses/promotions for users of your site. The best way to get people playing is through word of mouth - so have an interesting game with a nice UI with promotions that people want to be a part of.

The best place to advertise your site would be right here in gambling/games and rounds section with a small giveaway for the launch promotion. This is the place where all the gamblers usually hang out but usually they don't like to deposit in new sites, so a little giveaway helps them test the site.

And on the other hand they'll provide reviews for you about what they liked/not and bug reports, so it will help you not only promote it but also rectify the site as per the needs of the players.

After this, you can start the next phase of advertisement which would involve, Sig-Campaigns, Social Media Campaigns etc.

It is true that people are trying to earn from it. But is that a bad thing to do? After all signatures are serving their purpose and advertisement is visible for everyone on bitcointalk.
I still think that this is the best option to advertise here, Op can also purchase official bitcointalk banners but I think signature campaigns ads are still more noticeable.

I see that you have interesting ways to promot. You are bow promoting it by making this thread. And it is going good.

Nothing wrong with earning a bit from a sig. true!  ::)

The problem is not making money, the issue is all the random posts and spam these campaigns generate. Plus they are getting to the point where people don't care about the business they represent they only care about where the next sig campaign is. Look at every casino thread within the first 3 pages you can see people asking for it, not even trying the site.... This is where it gets to be an issue. These places don't grow and the industry won't improve and flourish if everyone looks at casinos like charities.

it will be fully integrated with bitcoin. we love bitcoin

As i said previously in this post, if you want people not to post stupid shit you should online "hire" full members or higher for example to avoid new accounts that only want to spam and get paid. Or you can also make that every participant has to be x amount on your site to be eligible like luckybit or whatever their name is do

Interesting point guys. The sig campaign could be from full members and above...

Additional advice if you have plans on running a sig campaign, dont run a campaign if you cant run it for long and dont have much budget about it. If you close the campaign in just a short period of time it will only make your site not trustworthy and may not even attaract players

I think that even top bitcoin gambling sites generate a large percentage of their traffic just by using this forum and working on SEO.

That makes sense, have to run the campaign for a good time for it to be worthwhile.

I think the best place would be to advertize on this forum itself, which right between the first and second post of all the threads. For ex. The current ad:

https://i.imgur.com/5cXcKwv.png

I think it makes a great impact as this forum is visited by so many members from all over the world everyday and I believe there's an auction done for it every week and you can bid and if you win, you can place your ads there.

As others have mentioned a few good places to start are the forums, gambling advertisments at faucets, and signature campaigns to attract visitors of course it should be a for a while in that case to establish a good reputation.
A few other ways are promotional events that get people involved like a video contest for your site, faucet for users who bet over a certain amount or some unique game that isn't seen as often on other gambling sites.

All great feedback, we are very much happy with the community.  :-*

Video contest... sounds like a great idea as well. what sort of video contests do you have in mind eternal?

Honestly i dont think thats that good idea, ive seen some video contests and people usually dont participate, in any case you can make sig advertisement contest or avatar contest or a logo contest for your site

Advertising on the forum itself through Thymos seems to be considered a good avenue. That's a check

So an interesting game and a nice UI is the only thing most of you all search for when picking a place to gamble?

Google ads might be a problem. I tried to advertise site in my sig, but they refused the ads and asked me to send them a gambling licence...which I don't have because I'm just a referral. If OP had this licence, Google might approve it, but not in all countries...

Yeah, we are aware of that, even with a license it's tricky.

Depends on how you cater it, there's a way around everything. And the policy is different depending on the country you advertise to, some countries are fine and do not really require anything.

you are at best place already for promoting bitcoin related business
run signature campaign and buy forum advertising to promote your bitcoin gambling website.

best place to advertise bitcoin business is here on this forum with sig.campaign and ad space.

Yes this is the best way to advertising his gambling site but with running a signature campaign I dont think it will be so easy because with running signature campaign you must hold a lot of bitcoin to support the member, if the payment is not competitive enough no one will join the signature campaign and its hard to advertise his gambling site

Another form of advertising, is a good product... what sort of product features do you all like while you gamble.

I have made a list of what I want to include in my future gambling site, they are:

• Quick Withdrawals and Deposists
• 2FA
• Betting speeds
• Faucet
• Quick Support

Anything more to add to this list?

EDIT: added support.

From the above list especially "betting speed", seems that you will launch a dice site, am I right?
If so, there is a thread where some members share what they expect from dice site https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1051431.0
Perhaps you can gain as much as great idea on that thread. And seems that you miss one of the most important things in gambling site "provably fair system".

Good luck on your plan, and wait for the great grand launching :)

You must add ofcourse unique design of the site. Maybe add invest option since most gamblers wants to invest in the house

• Quick Withdrawals and Deposists
• 2FA
• Betting speeds
• Faucet
• Quick Support
• Provably Fair System (of course)
• Investment option for players
• Great and interesting UI

Not just a dice game, but I have in mind to start with a dice game.

What about the odds? The house edge  and the max profit and all that, what have you in mind more exactly for it because you cant open a >2% house edge casino since there are already casinos that offer way smaller house edge. Honestly about the ui i dont really care that much, look at just-dice shitty ui but one of the most famous dice casinos out there

bitcointalk is the most important place to promote gambling sites, so you should start advertising from here in form of campaign,giveaways,competition etc... you can also buy ad slots on various bitcoin advertising networks like a-ads,bitmedia etc...

Thanks for the feedback

The odds would be under 2%.

Nice! thank you for the link +1

Bitcointalk signature campaign,banners, a thread with dedication, and promos with some recurrence in games & rounds

I think sig campaigne,and forums give people some small  pro btc and bonus,reffilinks
always the best is when your customers are your marketers,that needs some time but pay the best

thanks for your feedback  :)

The best way is signature if asked by me, but you can try other ways too.

Have you thought about advertizing on these forums or try doing some sort of give away?

Which review sites do you all read when considering betting on a new/existing site?

Bitcointalk has a quite high traffic so it's a wise choice to advertise your gambling site in here.
You can try to launch signature campaign just like other did
or you can advertise directly through Theymos on auction section (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1057190.0)

This forum is the best place to advertise your gambling site. Many advertisers using signature compaigns to advertise their sites.

Yup, majority says that you should host a giveaway for your site, open a signature/social media campaign, but be unique on how to convince and give them something to try out your site. I saw one site offering 0% house edge for a limited time, that's one good offer. Be creative. :)

What is this site you are talking about? Is the site already operational and you are just waiting to launch it yet? Or you are asking just hypothetically and you plan on doing gambling site in the future?
I would advise you to check the market first and find a nice niche no one took before. Like e-sport betting for bitcoin or something like that.

The site is being built as we speak, I hope to have a testnet version out soon. E-Sport betting is a good idea

will it be open to all people to test it out? i would be curious to check your website as soon as possible

That could be done, sure. Anyone else curious in checking our currently under development casino site?

i think it would be cool also you would surely attract a lot of players when you launch the full version of it

i think that there are already enough people who wants to try it out, also as someone already mentioned, it would add up to your advertising

Interesting point. thank you for the feedback

I might depending on the bug bounty system.

yeah it would be really cool if you had awards for spotting the bugs and helping you out with the website

That does sound cool, I'll speak to the devs today and get back to you on that. Perhaps for major bugs, that could work :)

Good news, the team have agreed on paying bounties to all who find bugs!

Its pretty much a necessity if you ask me since if there is no bug bounty system in place (or if it is not sufficient) the users who find issues would most likely exploit them, causing you or the players far greater losses.

yeah that's true. we also believe in rewarding users who help us out

I think most users of faucets are just broke newbs who can't afford to gamble the dust they have.


This seems like a waste of money and wouldn't be very effective in my opinion.


I don't doubt people are biased in suggesting signature campaigns but if you think about it they are probably one of the best ways to get your business out there. PrimeDice is now one of the biggest dice sites out there because of their forum presence on here and t money they spent on advetising via their sig campaign. A campaign can be quite cheap if you set a budget and do a fixed rate one like the one I'm on. You can also buy forum ad slots but they're quite small in comparison and they only appear under the first post of every thread but they can be quite expensive too.

Apparently this site is a good place to promote your gambling site, I guess most of people who like bitcoin will visit this forum.

We are ironing out some more details... new site should be up soon.

this forum would be the best place to advertise it with a signature campaign imo.

Thanks for the feedback, we have agreed to advertise here and to include a signature campaign - when the site is ready.

i woill be curious to check out your signature campaign, please inform me when you get your site up and running

I would try to get ads on existing poker websites, sports information sites, and tabloid-esque websites (i.e., TMZ, NYPost, Telegraph, etc.) You need to find the type of people that gamble at the places they frequent online - gambling, news, and gossip.

Yes its true signature campaign can make your site even knownable since there are several people that want to use your signature before your site wasnt ready. May be you can try to advertise in some faucets too because there are many peopl out there using faucets so with that advertise you can attract faucets newbie to play in your site too

do some promotional giveaways here and in the games and rounds section for attracting more people to your website in addition with your signature campaign.

Try Bitmedia.io
Network is relatively new but I like working with them. They are very strict to their traffic by the way, and the team is very welcomming and helpful

have you tried advertising on a paid to clock website.

there are a couple of PTC websites that work with bitcoin, you can pace and advertisement there and it is both a good way of advertising and attracting more traffic.

I know two that accept bitcoin:
btcclicks.com and coinad.com

Here are some tips that might be useful about advertising at casino reviews websites:
- a lot of them will tell you they have much more traffic than they actually have
- you can check their approximate traffic by this app http://www.similarweb.com/ (http://www.similarweb.com/)
- first of all they will try to sell you ads, that can be blocked by AdBlock
- their prices often overrated. Try to negotiate with them or push them for some free features.
