iGaming marketing, run by people who owned the P&L
Most agencies working in iGaming have never carried a deposit target. We ran a multi-brand operation across five LATAM markets for three years — owning acquisition, retention and bonus economics as a business, not as a deliverable. That is the perspective we bring to casino and sportsbook operators.
Operator-side track record of the team behind 22Labs across a multi-brand operation over three years, built from zero. These are not agency deliverables for clients.
Why iGaming breaks ordinary performance marketing
A registration is not a customer. A first-time depositor may still lose you money once bonus cost and payment fees land. And the channels that produce volume are rarely the ones that produce players who stay. Agencies optimising to cost-per-registration will hand you growing numbers and a shrinking margin — the metric looks healthy precisely while the business degrades.
What we actually run
Full-funnel acquisition measured against deposits and gross gaming revenue, wired to the retention machinery that decides whether a player is worth acquiring at all.
Paid media across Meta, Google and programmatic, optimised to FTD and GGR targets rather than registrations
Affiliate ecosystems — deal structure, S2S tracking and attribution models that scale partners without leakage
CRM, reactivation and VIP lifecycle programmes that compound player value
Bonus and promotional economics modelled before spend, not reconstructed after it
Platform and PSP integration — SoftSwiss, Digitain and local payment rails
The metrics we are measured on
Cost per FTD, registration-to-deposit conversion, D30 retention and GGR per player. If a campaign moves volume without moving those, we treat it as a failure regardless of what the platform dashboard reports.
Frequently asked questions
Is 22Labs a gambling operator?
No. 22Labs is a B2B marketing, performance and AI agency. We provide services to licensed operators; we do not run gambling, hold a gaming licence or accept wagers of any kind.
Which markets do you work in?
Our operator experience covers Argentina, Paraguay, Costa Rica, Guatemala and Honduras. We also run campaigns across Europe and the United States for clients in other sectors.
Do you work with affiliates or replace them?
We manage the affiliate channel as part of the acquisition mix — deal structures, S2S integration and attribution — rather than treating it as separate from paid and organic. Affiliates are a channel to balance, not a department to isolate.
How do you measure success?
Against deposits and gross gaming revenue, not registrations or clicks. Cost per FTD, registration-to-FTD conversion, D30 retention and GGR per player are the numbers we report on.
