TalkTalk Quantifies In-gaming Advertising’s Impact on Consumer Engagement

Broadband provider TalkTalk has revealed the findings of recent research conducted to find in-gaming advertising’s impact on consumer engagement.
TalkTalk supported by agency partner m/SIX, programmatic advertising partner and Outcome Media Company Xaxis, and in-game advertising platform Bidstack, commissioned eye-tracking specialist Lumen Research to study how ads were seen within gaming environments and how messaging for its fibre broadband service reached and resonated with gaming audiences.
Developed to explore attention, brand perception and purchase intent within the rapidly growing sector of in-game advertising, the study incorporated players on PC engaged with popular football and racing games.
Highlights from the study include:
After experiencing the in-game ads there was an uplift of 12% points in purchase intent.
Almost half (48%) of the study participants were able to spontaneously recall TalkTalk, rising to 58% when prompted. Whereas the benchmark for prompted is 33%, when looking at digital display (desktop and mobile) and Facebook Infeed (mobile).
Attention generated by the in-game ads in this study equates to 29 minutes of consumer attention per thousand impressions – a remarkable rate when compared to the industry average for online advertising (including desktop display, mobile display, and Facebook mobile Infeed) of 17.5 minutes per thousand impressions.
The study found that the average dwell time was 13% higher for the TalkTalk ads than the industry average of 1.6 seconds for online advertising (including desktop display, mobile display, and Facebook mobile Infeed).
TalkTalk’s in-game ads were viewed by up to 96% of the study participants. In comparison, an industry average of 67% of online advertising (including desktop display, mobile display, and Facebook mobile Infeed) ad impressions are viewed.
Over eight in ten (84%) felt the ads were suitable for the in-game environment.
Joe Bremend, Media Manager of TalkTalk, said: “Gaming is a large and ever-growing part of how consumers utilise their broadband services – accelerated further by the COVID-19 pandemic. Having the ability to effectively reach and engage with this growing and valuable audience, in an environment where they are increasingly spending time, and share marketing messages that drive brand awareness is a game-changer. It is particularly promising to see this campaign perform so well against some of the most relied on digital advertising KPIs, which bodes well for the future of in-game campaigns.”
Gareth Rees, Communications Planning & Strategy Director of m/Six, said: “Gaming is a fast-growing form of entertainment with an enormous global audience that spans a range of demographics, yet it’s a relatively nascent channel for advertising. This groundbreaking study proves the value of in-game advertising for brand awareness activations, with the ability to generate attention when consumers are fully immersed in gaming environments and drive positive outcomes.”

Bonus Bag feature
TaDa Gaming Delivers Highway Thrills in Chicken Dash

Reading Time: 2 minutes
Award-winning TaDa has taken a favourite joke and transformed it into an immersive and humorous crash release. Simple mechanics, personalised risk management controls and a max win of 20,659.1x are enhanced with slick graphics and a fearless chicken.
And with an expanding bonus bag that fell off the back of a lorry, it’s easy to see why this chicken is so determined to get to the other side.
Players begin by setting their preferred gameplay parameters. Three levels of Easy, Normal and Hard will dictate the level length or number of tiles the bird has to cross and the level max multiplier value.
Strong clear colours and polished visuals set the scene for the determined chicken to make it across the motorway. Beginning on the grass verge, players click to send the bird across the lanes one multiplier tile at a time against the oncoming traffic.
Each safe step will see a safety barrier land to protect the chicken but one false move and it’s game over and back to the grass verge.
Keeping players on high alert, the Chicken Dash feature can randomly trigger multiple times in a game. The appearance and squawking of the rooster starts the bonus feature which protects the chicken from traffic throughout and allows it to pass over two or three tiles in one go.
A Bonus Bag feature can also randomly trigger. Players must land the chicken on the tile where the bag dropped to collect the prize. And the higher the risk level, the higher the prize.
A clear UI and straightforward gameplay mean players can focus on getting the chicken across the road in one piece – and hopefully with the bonus prize – while enjoying Chicken Dash’s crisp graphics and sly details in this high volatility and amusing game.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Chicken Dash is a hugely entertaining crash game that will have players laughing out loud. The cartoon graphics add to the experiential play and we promise no chickens were hurt in making of this game.”

TaDa Gaming, a leading provider of innovative casino content, is redefining fast-play entertainment with the release of Cash Stack, an adrenaline-pumping crash game that puts timing, control and strategy directly in the player’s hands. With a max multiplier of 100x, Cash Stack delivers rapid gameplay, instant decisions and nonstop engagement.
Built for players who love simplicity and control, Cash Stack starts at a 1.01x multiplier, with the tension rising as players manually tap DROP to increase their payout potential. Every decision carries risk — one mistimed move and the round ends instantly. For those who dare, the game can soar up to 100x before the stack collapses.
The twist comes with the Cash Rain Event, a random in-game boost that can multiply winnings by 0.1x to 10x. Players must hit CASH OUT before the round ends to claim the bonus value, adding a thrilling layer of timing and anticipation. The result is a fast, skill-driven experience that rewards quick reactions and nerve.
Cash Stack embodies TaDa Gaming’s next step in the evolution of crash games — sleek visuals, simple mechanics and an emphasis on player control over automatic outcomes.
Sean Liu, Director of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Cash Stack takes the essence of crash gameplay and turns it into a true test of timing and instinct. Every round is a balance between greed and precision — do you cash out early or chase the big win? We’ve designed it to be fast, flexible, and highly engaging for players who want to feel in control.”
