SBK launches ‘The ad we weren’t allowed to make. But made it anyway.’ brand campaign

Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

SBK has launched a new multi-channel ad campaign that stars CEO/Founder Jason Trost, features Manchester United and England legend Gary Pallister, and was banned from TV.

The campaign officially launches today, 25 July 2022, and takes aim at competitors of SBK, the sportsbook app operated by betting exchange Smarkets.

Due to the nature and content of the campaign’s main video, clearing organisation Clearcast would not give their approval for it to be shown on television, saying it would ‘bring advertising into disrepute’. However commuters at prime locations across London, including Waterloo and Euston stations, will be able to see a heavily edited version and use a QR code to watch the full 80-second video, which can also be viewed at getsbk. com.

Trost said: “The industry’s old guard has been giving unnecessarily bad odds to customers for so long. We launched SBK to provide our world-best pricing to the mainstream market in the familiar feel of a sportsbook. That’s what this campaign is all about: how our odds are better than the rest who make easy money on casino products and huge sportsbook margins, and we’re not afraid to call them out. I had a blast filming the ad. I hope people enjoy watching it as much as I did making it.”

‘The ad we weren’t allowed to make. But we made it anyway.’ is the backbone of SBK’s broader Rewriting The Sportsbook brand campaign, which will be activated throughout the months of August and September to capitalise on the start of the 2022/23 Premier League season. Smarkets launched SBK in 2019, and this campaign is comfortably the company’s biggest to date.

SBK put together a strong team of agency support for the project. It was created by Ken Robertson – the former Head of Mischief at Paddy Power – and his team at The Tenth Man, where he is now CEO, with the ad itself produced by Ponder and directed by Brian Durnin. Post production was done by Windmill Lane, and music composed by John Walsh at Symphonic, whilst the campaign was executed by The Specialist Works.

Altenar’s high-performance sportsbook is designed to enable scalable growth through strong trading, proven stability, flexible architecture and rapid delivery.

Its continued support for operators across the region has seen Altenar establish itself as a trusted partner for both emerging and established brands in regulated markets.

Diego Salas, Sales Director at Altenar, said: “The Americas is not a single market but a collection of very different environments, each with its own challenges. Our priority is to understand what our partners are facing and respond with the right solutions.

“Our extensive experience, combined with continuous technical updates, allows us to solve these challenges. This is how we help our partners grow in both emerging and highly competitive markets.”

N1 Brand Series: RollXO — Brand Breakdown & Traffic Setups

Published

Picked a brand but not sure how to turn your traffic into profit? Looking for really working bundles? Want to understand the iGaming product better in order to scale efficiently?

N1 Partners team has launched N1 Brand Series — practical product reviews from experts with a focus on real working approaches, metrics, and peculiarities.

This article is dedicated to RollXO — read how to get the most out of the brand!

RollXO: product review

RollXO focuses on modern user experience, a wide range of game content, fast onboarding of players, a user-friendly interface and a diverse bonus program.

  • Brand: RollXO
  • GEO: AU, NZ, AT, DE, CA, CH, IE
  • Main vertical: casino, betting
  • Target audience: users aged 25-55 interested in online casinos, slots and live games, focused on a fast and convenient gaming experience
  • Player value: ease of use, quick access to games, bonuses and promo mechanics
  • Features / advantages: simple and fast registration form, user-friendly UX, a wide selection of slots and live games, as well as the speed of deposits/withdrawals and regular promos
  • Reg2Dep:
    PPC 40-55%
    FB: 25-35%
    SEO: 40-45%
  • Retention Rate: 25-35%
  • LTV: up to 1500 EUR

Conversion and user behaviour 

Conversion is influenced by traffic quality and relevance, registration speed, first deposit bonuses, the convenience of payment methods, and the level of trust in the product.

For retention at RollXO, the most effective tools are personalized bonuses, VIP/loyalty programs, as well as communication through SMS, push notifications, in-app messages, email, stories, and inbox channels with continuous updates of gaming content.

After the first deposit, player behavior largely depends on their initial experience: some continue actively following promotions through communication channels, while others engage with on-site offers within the product itself, such as promotions, tournaments, bonus offers, and other mechanics available on the website.

Bonus policy

The RollXO brand uses a variety of bonus mechanisms: welcome and reload bonuses, free spins, free bets, cashback, VIP/loyalty rewards, lotteries, tournaments, loot boxes, wheel of fortune, a bonus shop, and limited-time promotions.

  • Best-converting: simple and easy-to-understand bonuses that provide clear value to the player — enhanced welcome bonuses, free spins, cashback, and personalised offers.

 

  • Less effective: complex mechanics with unclear conditions or overloaded/insufficient communication.

 

  • Common mistakes: overly long communication texts without specific details or clear bonus requirements. In addition, an excessive volume of promotional communications can lead to lower player engagement.

Creatives and traffic types

At RollXO, creatives that focus on clear and specific value propositions perform best, for example, those that highlight a bonus or reward. It is also important to adapt creatives to the specific GEO, audience, and gaming preferences.

Creatives overloaded with bonuses perform poorly: three or more bonuses displayed on a small image can confuse players and discourage them from engaging with such communications. Additionally, the effectiveness of creatives declines over time if visuals and offers are not refreshed.

The most effective traffic sources depend on the region, creative quality, and audience-product fit. The primary channels are SEO, PPC, Influence, and Facebook.

Top 3 traffic setups for RollXO

Setup #1

This setup pays for itself due to the high quality of traffic. Despite a potentially high deposit cost (slightly above average), it can deliver strong results and attract an active audience.

  • Traffic Source: Facebook
  • GEO: AU
  • Page Type: PWA
  • Approach: The creative is built around the Dragon Train slot. Large multipliers x15 / x10 / x5 appear on the screen from the very first seconds, drawing attention to the possibility of a significant win.

The lower part of the creative displays the new player bonus as well as the payment methods available for making a deposit.

  • Why it works: A static creative with a clear visual structure. The game and bonus are immediately visible, while all key information can be understood within 1-2 seconds without unnecessary visual noise.
  • Risks / Limitations: Potentially higher deposit cost.

Setup #2

This approach can attract a broader audience, while its key advantage is a significantly lower deposit cost compared to average benchmarks.

If acquisition costs can be maintained at a low level, this approach can work effectively for scaling and blending traffic with higher-quality audiences.

  • Traffic Source: Facebook
  • GEO: NZ
  • Page Type: PWA
  • Approach: A popular influencer is selected based on the target GEO and age group, after which a high-quality deepfake with accurate lip-syncing is created. In the creative, the influencer talks about fast gameplay and winning opportunities: “If you have X amount of money, you can try this slot/casino.”
    It is important that the mentioned amount exceeds the minimum deposit, as this helps attract a higher-quality audience. The video then showcases gameplay, including bonuses, multipliers, and winning spins.
  • Why it works: Trust in the influencer, their recognisability, the visual appearance of a physical casino, and the slot demonstration work together to capture audience attention effectively.

An additional advantage is the low entry threshold: the creative mentions a relatively small amount that users can potentially start with and still have a chance to win.

  • Risks / Limitations: Lower audience quality.

Setup #3

This setup can attract a higher-quality audience, but the key factor is the consistency of the funnel. The PWA, FP, and domain should visually align with a specific land-based casino. This increases trust in the offer and positively impacts conversion rates.

  • Traffic Source: Facebook
  • GEO: CA
  • Page Type: PWA
  • Approach: The creative is centred around a well-known land-based casino shown from a visually striking angle that is immediately recognisable to the audience.
    Bonuses and payment methods are displayed at the bottom, while the top section features the message “(Name of the land-based casino) is now officially online.”
  • Why it works: Recognition of the land-based casino increases trust in the offer, while all key information is communicated quickly and without unnecessary visual clutter.
  • Risks / Limitations: Ad rejections.

Based on the RollXO review, several key factors make the brand a strong product for scaling. The brand delivers strong performance thanks to its user-friendly product, high player engagement, and effective retention mechanisms.

With proper creative adaptation, a well-structured funnel, and high-quality traffic, the brand can consistently generate profit and successfully scale volumes in Tier-1 markets.

  • 14+ casino and betting brands with high Reg2Dep and LTV;
