PPC advertising for licensed gambling brands
Google Ads and paid social for licensed operators in the European markets where it is permitted — certification handled, compliance built in, spend reported against first-time deposits.
Paid acquisition in a restricted vertical
Gambling PPC is a compliance exercise as much as a marketing one: certification per country, licence checks, creative and landing page rules, age gating and responsible gambling messaging. Done properly, it is the fastest channel to test a new GEO, defend brand searches and fill the gap while organic growth compounds.
What we do
- Certification and licence verification per market
- Account structure per GEO, product (casino, sports, live) and intent (brand, generic, competitor where allowed)
- Landing pages built for conversion and compliance
- Bidding, budgets and creatives managed weekly
- Conversion tracking connected to registrations and FTDs (server-side where possible)
- Brand-term defence and trademark complaints
- Reporting by GEO, campaign and device in a shared dashboard
PPC and SEO together
Paid search data feeds organic strategy (which queries convert), and organic brand assets reduce brand CPC. We run both under one roadmap so the client is not paying an affiliate commission, a brand CPC and an SEO retainer for the same player.

Frequently asked questions
Can gambling brands advertise on Google in Europe?
In most regulated markets — yes, with a country-specific gambling certification and a valid local licence. Rules differ per country (for example Italy bans most gambling advertising; Germany and the Netherlands restrict targeting and creatives). We manage certification and keep campaigns within each market's rules.
Which platforms besides Google?
Microsoft Ads, Meta (where permitted, with gambling approval), and selected native and programmatic networks. Platform availability depends on GEO and licence; we advise per market.
How is PPC reported?
Spend, registrations, FTDs and cost per FTD by campaign, GEO and device — with back-office or affiliate platform data connected. We do not report on clicks alone.
Do you also protect our brand terms in paid search?
Yes. Brand campaigns, trademark complaints against affiliates and competitors bidding on your name, and coordination with organic brand SERP protection so you do not pay twice for your own players.
