Telegram Ads Gambling Budget: CPC, First Deposits & Full Cost

📅 2026-09-15 ⏱ 5 min read ✍ Roman

A useful gambling acquisition plan connects the complete starting payment to first deposits, with each conversion assumption visible. Adsly’s test launch starts with €5,000 ad budget plus €2,500 service commission: €7,500 total. The official format starts with €50,000 ad budget plus €23,750 commission: €73,750 total under the current tiered pricing.

The calculator below lets you change click cost and conversion assumptions. Its default values are an illustrative scenario, not a forecast from our case studies.

What does the first payment cover?

FormatAd budgetInitial commissionInitial payment
Test launch€5,000€2,500€7,500
Official gambling launch€50,000€23,750€73,750

The ad budget funds delivery. Commission is a separate service cost. Review the two launch formats and project eligibility before choosing. A historical TON case does not establish approval or performance for an official Euro launch.

How do clicks become first deposits?

Use three separate quantities:

  1. Clicks = ad budget ÷ CPC.
  2. Registrations = clicks × click-to-registration rate.
  3. First deposits = registrations × registration-to-first-deposit rate.

For example, €5,000 at €0.30 CPC produces an estimated 16,667 clicks. At 5% click-to-registration and 10% registration-to-first-deposit, that is approximately 833 registrations and 83 first deposits. Those percentages are assumptions you supply.

The media cost per first deposit is €60. Including the €2,500 initial commission makes it €90, before any other business costs. This difference is why a low CPC alone cannot tell you whether a test is profitable.

How should you read campaign case studies?

Start with the Chinese-language gaming TON portfolio and the gaming bot funnel. They include recorded impressions, clicks, platform actions, native-currency spend and calculation methods.

A platform action is not automatically a player registration or a first deposit. These portfolios have no linked advertiser postbacks at the snapshot date. TON amounts must not be read as euros. The cases demonstrate observed advertising activity, not guaranteed deposit economics.

What needs to be measured during your test?

Record a stable click/campaign reference in your landing page or bot flow. In your own tracker, distinguish registration, first deposit and repeat deposit. Define what counts as a valid new player and deduplicate repeated events. Align the reporting window, currency and attribution rules before comparing media spend with acquisition outcomes.

Adsly supports advertiser postback data, but generic conversion events can represent different actions. A reliable FTD report requires an agreed event definition; the word “conversion” alone is insufficient.

What should you prepare before opening an account?

Bring your project, intended markets, preferred account format, available test budget and acceptable acquisition cost. Decide who supplies creatives and who verifies conversion reporting. Use the calculator as a discussion model and replace assumptions with observed data once the campaign runs.

Results are estimates, not guarantees. Media cost uses the ad budget; total acquisition cost also includes the initial service commission.

What would your ROI target require?

Targets of 80%, 100% and 200% below are planning goals, not campaign results. Contribution means revenue after bonuses, payment costs, taxes and other non-acquisition costs. Acquisition ROI = (contribution − budget − initial commission) ÷ (budget + initial commission). Additional acquisition costs must be added to your own model.
