📝[Discussion topic] Overview of Bitcointalk Signature-Ad Campaigns📝

[Apocollapse]

I'm really happy to see there are many new signature campaign, seems there are like 10 new campaigns recently. Although we don't know how long they can survive, but seeing them want to promote in this forum means the forum still become a good place to promote cryptocurrency business.

That means this is a record-breaking campaign, right? Will there be a casino that lasts even longer? Well I see there are some casinos whose campaigns run hundreds of weeks.

Yep, even Bitvest can't beat them, cryptogames started in 2015 while Bitvest in 2016. I really doubt we will see another signature campaign can survive for 9 years, most of them didn't even reach 3 years...

I counted at least 23 active campaigns, these are mostly from casinos that continue to promote on this forum, probably because it's unique and more audience is attracted to casinos.

At least 3 years is a long time for a campaign, it means that the casino has good traffic here so they can run campaigns for so long.
I feel other casinos will also do long campaigns... hopefully...

Yeah, almost all campaigns that we have now is gambling websites. I think it's nothing surprising and it's difficult to expect that something will change soon. Gambling websites simply have biggest budgets for marketing.
At least we have several campaigns which don't promote gambling, it comes from exchanges. But in general, people who are against promoting gambling have don't much option to choose.

The gambling industry is only growing every year, especially in underdeveloped countries, so it's natural that most of the forum campaigns are offered by casinos, for the most part, and I think this will continue for quite some time.

Or is it the relative lack of campaigns other then casinos that is the cause? The next major bitcoin use place is the exchanges, most of them have regular users dont need new users signing up and the word being spread  so they dont run much campaigns here. After that comes bitcoin based payment systems and they are also not delving much into this form of advertisement.

For now this is a solution for many who may have lost their regular participation.

The gambling industry is so big that while most industries don't want their advertising dollars, they all descend on the areas where gambling sponsorships are still allowed, because they have little to no other choice elsewhere. International football is a good example of this. And then you have cryptocurrency sites like this one that cater to the crypto casinos at least.

No doubt about that and they'll continue to grow. Many new players are coming in and that's why they have to market it out especially the ones that specializes in crypto or their main currency is on it.

They'd for sure gonna take into consideration advertising through many channels which includes the forum, we see that often that there are new casinos and they're willing to listen to the community that they're about to be part of.

And maybe soon those that have their own tokens will advertise back through campaigns paying participants with their tokens through their own platforms.

There's some truth to it, but it's not like we have an influx of big-brand casinos wanting to advertise on bitcointalk. Most of the ones we have here are either crypto-focussed, or newly established ones that are trying to get traction, for whom this is a good advertising niche, as they cannot afford to compete with the big casinos in the traditional advertising spaces.

Other thing is the growing popularity of ad-blockers or browsers like Brave (who now have almost 70 millions active users) making it harder to reach audience via standard internet ads.

This is true, this growing use of ad-blockers has major impacts of advertisers to get more impressions, views, CTA and potential buyers/clients. Unlike on a forum like this, where signatures are not considered as ads unless someone uses ad blocker script to remove signature spaces and disabled signatures in their settings. So this forum always be part of the option to promote for crypto-related casinos.

Yup, you could disable signatures/avatars in the forum settings, but they're not considered ads and won't be disabled by ticking "Disable ads" in the profile settings. Similarly, I don't think any ad-blockers would view signatures as ads (unless specifically designed/modified for this purpose). I've been using Brave browser for a few years now, and it wouldn't block signatures even when you pick the strictest option: "Aggressively block trackers & ads".

That's a really nice advantage of signatures over classic ads which is rarely mentioned. I think campaign managers should use this argument when pitching to potential clients.
