In this video, I explain how to choose a casino marketing agency properly, the most common mistakes operators make, the red flags to watch for, and how to avoid burning budget on agencies that don't actually understand iGaming. The biggest mistake operators make The biggest mistake I see is hiring a generic digital marketing agency and assuming iGaming is "just like any other niche". It isn't.Casino marketing involves: Gambling compliance and advertising restrictions Platform-specific rules (Google Ads, Meta, programmatic)GEO-specific licensing requirements Player KYC, age gating, and responsible gambling obligations If your agency doesn't work inside iGaming every day, you're already exposed to unnecessary risk. The first question you must ask Before anything else, ask:" Who are your current or recent iGaming clients?" Not hypotheticals.Not "similar industries". Actual casino, sportsbook, or gambling affiliate work. A legitimate iGaming agency should be able to clearly explain: Which markets they operate in Which platforms they manage How they handle compliance and risk If they can't - that's a red flag. Beware of vanity metrics Many agencies sell: Traffic volumes Impressions Clicks Rankings for low-value keywords None of these matter on their own. What matters in iGaming is: Depositing players Cost per acquisition by GEO Player value over time Retention and lifetime value If an agency can't talk confidently about commercial outcomes, they're not built for this industry. Platform experience really matters A serious casino marketing agency should be fluent in: iGaming SEO (not generic SEO) Google Ads gambling policies Affiliate funnel optimisation GEO-specific compliance strategy If an agency says "we'll figure it out as we go" - you are the test budget. In iGaming, mistakes don't just waste money. They get accounts banned and domains flagged. How we approach it differently At The Casino Marketing Shop, we work exclusively in iGaming.
