FTD (First Time Deposit)

FTD (First Time Deposit) is a user's first deposit. In gambling and betting it is the key payment event advertisers most often pay for.

Why FTD matters so much

An FTD means an acquired user became a payer. The buy is optimized for FTD and the postback set for it so FB learns to bring payers, not just installs.

FTD in the PWA funnel

The path is click → install → signup → FTD. The install-to-FTD metric shows how paying the traffic is. Push closes those who installed and signed up but have not made the first deposit.

FAQ

How is FTD different from a deposit?
FTD is specifically a player's first deposit. Later top-ups are repeat deposits, not FTD.
Why is the FTD postback set first?
Because FTD is the payment event the buy is optimized for. Without it FB cannot tell which traffic pays.
How do I raise FTD conversion?
Convenient payment support (for example PIX), localization, a prelander and closing push to signed-up non-depositors.
