Client: Bitcasino.io. Market: Europe (UK, DACH, Nordics). Budget: $25,000 pilot. Key result: 3x immediate ROI, 250+ verified first-time deposits.
Bitcasino.io wanted to test influencer marketing as a new acquisition channel before committing to large-scale spend. The pilot was designed as a creative and channel validation exercise across three European markets with different regulatory environments and audience profiles.
Octomedia structured a small, high-quality cohort of 8 streamers across UK, German, and Nordic audiences. Each creator was selected for their specific market relevance and crypto-casino audience overlap — Bitcasino.io operates as a Bitcoin casino, so crypto-native audiences were prioritised. Content messaging emphasised Bitcoin bonuses, provably fair gaming, and instant withdrawal features that resonate with crypto gambling audiences.
The $25K pilot generated 250+ FTDs and delivered 3x immediate ROI based on first-deposit revenue alone. The campaign validated Twitch and YouTube as viable acquisition channels for Bitcasino.io in European markets, providing sufficient data to justify a full-scale campaign rollout. Creator performance data from the pilot was used to select the top-performing 3 streamers for the follow-on campaign.
