New Liftoff + Vungle Report Reveals The Most Effective Video Ads for Acquiring Hyper-Casual, RPG, Social Casino, and Other Mobile Gamers
Full-screen video ads that are 37 seconds long, combined with video end cards, are the top-performing mobile ad creative targeting hyper-casual mobile gamers. That’s one of the key findings in a new study published today by Liftoff + Vungle (www.vungle.com), a leading mobile performance advertising platform. Titled Mobile Game Video Ads Analysis: Optimal Video Lengths and End Cards, the new report analyzes performance data from Vungle’s advertising platform of over 1 billion devices to provide creative guidance for mobile game marketers in genres including Social Casino, Strategy, Role Playing, and more.
Through an analysis of 3.7 billion ad impressions and the resulting installs, the report explores how parameters like end card type and ad duration can be adjusted to appeal to different kinds of gaming audiences. For example, the most effective creative for hyper-casual gamers—currently the largest audience in mobile gaming—is a full-screen video ad with a video end card. The duration of the ad should be around 37 seconds, the approximate length of a hyper-casual game round.
The study also revealed the top-performing ad creative for other gaming genres, including:
- Role-playing games: Long-form ads that explore specific game mechanics are the best way to capture the attention of RPG audiences, who are eager to dive into detail-rich experiences. Forty-six seconds is the ideal length, while looping video end cards drive the best performance for the end card.
- Social casino games: Social casino gamers favor concise ads that are short and sweet—mirroring the rapid game cycle of these titles. The top-performing duration for these ads was 10 seconds, and the winning end cards were standard end cards.
- Strategy games: There is room for numerous ad durations to succeed with strategy gamers, as ads 20 seconds long to those reaching 40 seconds can produce strong results. That said, the data revealed the 33-second mark was the happy middle ground and that app store end cards, which automatically redirect players to the app store front page, stood out among the end card options.
- Puzzle games: While relatively short video ads that clearly illustrate the puzzle’s mechanics work well for this audience, advertisers can see success with numerous creative combinations. The study found the optimal duration for ads was 22 seconds and the best end card was an app store link.
“To thrive in the highly competitive mobile environment, app marketers have to understand how to build and run successful campaigns, and that all starts with effective ad creative,” said Si Crowhurst, VP of Creative Labs & Brand at Vungle. “Our in-house team, Vungle Creative Labs, diligently designs, tests, and iterates on mobile ad creative. We understand what mobile game marketers are up against when they’re optimizing creative, and we wanted to share hard data to help them boost their performance.”

EveryMatrix has expanded its partnership with tier-1 operator Pinnacle powering its new casino in Ontario, Canada, using CasinoEngine platform technology – the first time its platform solution has gone live in North America.
The latest agreement builds on the two companies’ previous collaboration that saw EveryMatrix’s CasinoEngine productivity platform power the well-known brand’s global casino offering.
The new launch takes the relationship to North America, marking EveryMatrix’s debut CasinoEngine platform integration in that market.
BonusEngine, EveryMatrix’s cross-vertical bonusing tool will be integrated in the second phase of launch. This will equip Pinnacle Ontario with a host of bonus types as well as AI-powered bonus abuse solution Bonus Guardian.
BonusEngine is the first of multiple engagement tools from EveryMatrix’s EngageSuite that Pinnacle plans to integrate.
With this comprehensive toolkit at its disposal, and the opportunity to add even more casino products in the future, Pinnacle Ontario can tailor campaigns, segment audiences, and reward players more effectively, creating a world-class digital entertainment experience for its customers.
EveryMatrix has more than 300 global customers and holds North American licences in Ontario, New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.
Stian Enger Petersen, CEO, Casino, EveryMatrix, said: “This launch marks a key milestone for EveryMatrix as we bring our market-leading CasinoEngine platform to Canada for the first time.
“We’re delighted to expand our partnership with Pinnacle and support their ambitions in Ontario with a powerful combination of platform, content, and engagement tools that are proven to drive success.”

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt Zamroźniak
Chief Executive Officer
