Case

Sportsbook bonus strategy

Client: Large brand

On a sportsbook line, bonuses were eating margin: terms were too wide, and players rarely came back to bet. We rebuilt rules and campaigns around real bets — cut bonus cost and lifted GGR with daily activity.

Context

What the client brought

Bonus spend was growing faster than revenue. Free money went out without repeat bets, and daily audience dropped between big events. Cost had to come down, and players had to come back to the line every day.
