Winning Big: How Moloco Fuels Real Money Gaming Growth

The world’s attention has moved to mobile apps, and for Real Money Gaming brands—including sports betting, casino, lottery, fantasy, and skill-based gaming—this shift presents a massive opportunity to drive incremental high value players for your business. 

The challenge? CAC costs are rising. Finding and converting valuable players in a fragmented app ecosystem while scaling efficiently is challenging. The complex regulatory environment creates a huge need for compliance and player safety. Given the friction RMG brands face from walled gardens, like ad policy restrictions  and limited targeting and retargeting capabilities, independent app-based advertising has become an essential growth channel for engaging high value players.

The Power of AI-Driven App Advertising for RMG

Moloco Ads solves these challenges by offering a high-quality, brand-safe ecosystem of 3 million independent apps and 2 billion daily active users—larger than TikTok and Instagram combined, and larger than AppLovin. Our AI-native ad engine processes millions of data points across 600+ billion daily ad opportunities to precisely determine when and where to place ads—helping RMG brands efficiently acquire high-value depositors at scale.

Moloco is a top-performing AI-powered ad platform, recognized by Appsflyer and other leading MMPs, and trusted by gaming and entertainment brands worldwide like Fanatics, DraftKings, and Papaya.

Additionally, seasonality is key in sports betting and fantasy gaming. Moloco’s machine learning dynamically optimizes campaigns around peak sporting events—whether it’s the Super Bowl, March Madness, or the World Cup—allowing brands to capitalize on real-time betting surges and maximize CPFTD efficiency.
