Do casinos lose popularity once they stop advertising here?

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Just wondering about this, nothing deep or well thought out.

I’ve seen a lot of casinos start here, run signature campaigns, post promos, reply to users, and slowly build a name. Over time they became popular, partly because they were very visible in the forum. But what happens when they stop doing all that?

Take Sportsbet.io for example. They already left the forum, but the casino itself is still active. I can still access it and people are still using it.

So did they actually lose popularity, or just lose exposure here in Bitcointalk. Maybe fewer new users, but old users are still playing.
Not sure what the right answer is, so I'm just curious how others see it.

Is this forum mainly for starting out, or does staying active here still matter long term?

I would say staying active here still matters long term because if you look at it, and using the same sports.io as an example, they lost their popularity here already and so it is for those who mainly visit this forum to find out the casino they can gamble on.
I was a user of sportsbet.io one time here because of their popularity here on this forum, but since they left, I never even remembered a casino with this name existed except for this thread now.

When casinos build and get popular on this forum, they are not just popular to users of this forum alone, they are also exposed to visitors of this forum who also could become potential customers, we get new registrations on this forum every day which means that there are more visitors who don't even register and they all see the casino ads through the forum users signatures right.. This is what I think.

There can literally be n number of reasons why a gambling site chooses to stop their promotion in this forum.
After a certain point of time, hugely paid promotions like the signature campaign are not required.
Although a gambling site can still choose to continue it as long as they want but some can stop it due to the excess cost involved with the campaign.
They can opt for other lesser cost effective campaigns like twitter campagin, referrals, contests etc...
Once their userbase is created they rely on bonuses and promotions rather than signature campaigns.
Again, few gambling sites are exceptional.

Actually, the basic strategy for casinos which seek to gain some popularity is to start a advertising campaign here in the forum, usually they do those things while they are still unknown and small compared to big casinos. They initially see a surge on popularity and volume on their services, from them it is up to them to evaluate whether it is practical for them to keep the campaign open or close it down and keep only those gamblers who joined initially with the first wave of the campaign.

They lose some popularity, but the all point of advertising here is to get a good kick-starter of gamblers and from there build a solid reputation without having to depend on paid advertising, mouth-to-mouth sometimes is more powerful than the most expensive paid campaigns on the world.

Basically I believe that the frequency in which we see this casinos here in the forum makes us see them or notice them when advertised outside the forum even though the forum helps in popularity yet is very important that we point out that with or without the forum casinos will still be popular at some point in time, so the forum helps which is one reason the forum is here and at the end the maintain popularity with this forum and loss it after a long term of not showing up.

if we look at this topic more deeply the situation becomes much clearer. seeing casino names repeatedly on the forum creates a sense of familiarity in our minds. as a result when we come across the same casino advertisements outside the forum they catch our attention more easily because they already feel familiar. in this way the forum definitely plays a major role in increasing a casino’s popularity. at the same time it is also true that with or without the forum a casino with good service or a strong budget will eventually become popular. however becoming popular and maintaining popularity are not the same thing. regular presence on the forum helps build relationships with users and increases trust. if a casino is absent from the forum for a long time people gradually lose interest. so in my view the forum is not just a place for promotion but also a strong platform for maintaining long term popularity.

When we say people will loss interest in the casinos I see it to be limited to around the forum only, like forum members will begin to find it uninteresting, which means that others may find it interesting still but forum members will see it's presences to be scarces hence the mentality of knowing the casino reduces as days go by. For maintaince of casino popularity other platforms can still be used for the promotion and they will be popular but here in bitcointalk it seems specifically because we are the users most of the times and we deal mostly on crypto and which is the reason those casinos are in business.

I was a user of sportsbet.io one time here because of their popularity here on this forum, but since they left, I never even remembered a casino with this name existed except for this thread now.

That is because you were gambling in the casino, and they were in the forum. That reason alone makes you believe they are reliable to use, but the moment they left the forum, you left the casino. I wont be surprised that there are many people like you, who will only use the casino because it is still the forum. But it is more than that. If you actually enjoyed your time using Sportbet.io, even if they have left the forum, you still will be using it, provided that they did not leave the forum with a bad reputation.

I guess no casinos would decide to stop being advertised if they have not seen reaching their target goal. They will always find means to grow their popularity, not just from a single platform but as much as possible to various ones wherein they can attract bigger amount of customers.

If they chose to stop, that means they have reached already their goal and they are confident already that they can stick to it even if advertising stops, or they have no extra funds to finance anymore their advertising funds, but I doubt if they will stop if their target has not been realized yet.

[Kelvinid]

No, because they might probably paying an advertisement from other platform with much higher population compared to bitcointalk.

However, if they have finally stopped paying an advertisement, it will really make a difference. They may lose a bit of their popularity, that is if they are popular enough, and it will surely affect their income.

But realistically, the goal of every casino is to consistently grow its income, so it will never cut off any advertisements if that's the main reason why they have managed to earn a profitable income.

But you can't find any crypto related gambling platform outside of this community as we all know that this forum started everything for Bitcoin and the rest of cryptocurrency.

We just have to ask ourselves, why are still a lot of casinos that has run their signature campaigns for years here? It's because they know that when they stop, their popularity will go down that's why they keep it and because they know that competition is very touch in this niche that's why they needed campaigns. And for sure they have tracking tools to know that their advertisement here is a success that why they continue to do it.

In as much as we have an impressive traffic on Bitcointalk.org, I'd like you to understand that this is not the only online forums that allow promotional campaigns. For those that knew the forum earlier, they've been able to gain popularity for that reason. How about those that haven't even heard of, or have an interest to advertise in here? Are they not still very successful?

For your question, unless they're doing something wrong that has an impact to switch their already-built reputation, they can still be very successful after they call of their promotional campaigns in here.

The forum has a lot of people interested in gambling so definitely if a casino that onced advertise here stops doing that they might tend to lose their popularity a bit...this doesn't mean people stop making use of the casino or others don't sign up but the most activities and engagements might actually come from the forum..this platform has a lot of people who are actively involved in the gambling discussion

[ejikeme24]

Of course a casino will surely lose popularity once they stop advertising here, because I believe there are hundreds of casinos out there that we don't know due to the fact that they are not being advertise here so we are only interested in the ones we see here we don't know about the ones out there and how they works. And due to the fact that this site does not advertise scam casinos so it is assume that all The casinos that is been advertised here are all genuine while the ones out there is likely to be considered as scam unless the newly launched casinos that is trying to build reputation.

To be frank, I’ve noticed that there is a massive gambling community right here in our forum. And these aren't just casual gamblers they are high rollers. I know some people here who lose huge amounts of money when they gamble, though I won't mention any names.

Promoting a casino on this forum actually contributes a lot, to be honest. I’ve seen many casinos here that have been successfully running
for years within the crypto industry.

They don't lose popularity, but they lose the high traffic and access to more players. The more advertising, the more money they make. Why do you think signature campaigns are an investment that pays for itself in the long run? It's for that reason: good marketing will yield good results. The most successful casinos always maintain great marketing; that's why they're so successful.

Just because a casino stops making advertisements here doesn’t mean people will stop making use of them, their old customers will keep on making use of the casino, but if the casino do anything that’s wrong, then they might lose there customers.

If a casino stops advertising here, then new people entering the forum might not really know about them, because you only going to see people wearing signatures of casinos with active advertisements here, so newbies will be choosing from the casinos making advertisements at that moment, because they only know about those casinos. Also don’t think because a casino stops advertisements here that means people will stop using it. If you are use to a casino, and they have all the necessary futures you need, you won’t stop making use of the casino just because they stop advertisement.

This is because advertising makes casinos visible to prospective customers and particularly new customers hence cessation of ads would mean fewer new customers as they may choose a name that they see being advertised. But once users have been attracted to it the casino tends to keep being played should it be working near, provide good games and it is paying. The biggest threat is whether the service of the casino decreases, and in the absence of active promotion, fewer people will find out about the issues, and it will be more difficult to mitigate. Popularity can dwindle, yet those who are loyal to it remain.

I think that any advertising brings profit, and advertising on a forum is also a good source of clients, because there is already a clearly defined target audience there. In addition, people tend to have more trust if they learn about a casino from ordinary users rather than from ads in other places, since it’s important for people to feel that they are not being deceived. On a live forum, it’s easier to find that sense of trust for yourself.

Of course there is an exchange that occurs in terms of, when we have a business and want to place an ad then we have to spend money to place an ad, either on the platform or on the workers who make the ads we want and the exchange is that many people will see but not everyone will be interested in visiting but that's not a problem because it's a natural thing, moreover the ad maker must have tried his best. But if the problem is deceived or not it depends on us, and if we are less careful then the occurrence of fraud, in my opinion, is a risk.

Usually here they lose exposure,  not necessarily real popularity. For early traction, building if trust, and crypto-native users Bitcointalk is strong. Immediately a casino gets to a scale, its focus mostly shifts to SEO, affiliates, influencers, and direct retention. Existing players continue playing as a result of habits, balances, and familiarity are there already. Haven said that, stepping out of the forum surely reduce visibility among new and more users who are cautious, and it weakens accountability of the public. Therefore Bitcointalk matters very more at the stage of growth and reputation building, yet remaining active still assist long term when a brand has value for transparency and credibility of the grassroots

[Peanutswar]

For me its a both yes and no. Yes because we are in the crypto forum in a daily basis there is a lot of people actively posting here and once they did not advertise such as a signature is people lessen seen their banners in the community so they get less curious about the casino so they are advertising here because of the exposure now of they leave a good reputation people still remember them but if not of course users seek for other platform. No because if the casino get enough popularity and players its enough to them create a marketing here and focus to other way of promoting their platform.
