How should a betting preland differ from a gambling one?

It's tied to a specific event or match rather than a generic bonus, which is why a score-predictor quiz tends to outperform a spin-the-wheel here.

How do you time push sends in a betting funnel?

Follow the event calendar rather than time-since-install — kickoff or a line opening makes more sense as a trigger than a fixed delay.

What counts as a conversion for a bookmaker — deposit or bet?

It depends on the specific offer's terms, so the postback needs to fire on the exact action the partner defines as qualified.

Do you need a new domain for every major tournament?

Not necessarily, but domain rotation is still a useful safety net for any sharp traffic spike around a major event.

Betting PWA Funnel Example

This betting PWA funnel example differs from a gambling one in one key way — it runs on an event calendar, not a steady stream. Matches, tournaments, and line moves dictate when to buy traffic and when to send push. Here's the funnel built around that fact.

Event-driven, not steady-state

Betting traffic naturally clusters around specific matches and tournaments rather than spreading evenly across days. It makes sense to ramp buying ahead of major events and prep creative tied to a specific match or line in advance, rather than running an evergreen bonus offer.

Traffic and cloaking around events

The cloaking mechanics don't change by vertical — bot filtering still separates the platform's reviewers and scanners from a real match viewer. What changes is the creative context: it's tied to a specific event, which also tends to lift CTR among an audience that's genuinely interested in that particular match.

An event preland, not a spin-the-wheel

A predictor quiz — “guess the score” or “who wins” — tends to outperform a spin-the-wheel here, because it naturally extends the event's context instead of feeling like a random detour before the offer. APEX builds this kind of preland from a ready quiz template, and the storefront is worth styling around the specific tournament rather than leaving it generic.

Calendar-based scheduled push

APEX's push engine gets used differently here than in gambling: instead of chasing non-depositors on a timer since install, sends follow the match calendar — “kickoff in an hour,” “line is open,” “odds just moved.” That's a distinct use of triggered and scheduled sends, tied to external events rather than in-app user behavior.

Postback on the qualified action

A bookmaker offer's conversion might be a deposit, or a deposit plus a bet placed above a minimum stake — terms vary by partner. The postback needs to fire on whatever event the partner actually counts as qualified, or Keitaro's stats and FB CAPI optimization end up learning from the wrong signal.
