The creator shares current strategies for 2026, including how to avoid Instagram moderation, find winning creatives, and optimize funnels for conversions. ### Key Points - **Why gambling traffic is failing** [00:02] — Despite the gambling vertical supposedly collapsing, the creator explains that traffic can still work if you fix key details in your funnel. - **The short video funnel** [00:29] — The funnel consists of uploading short videos demonstrating the game, then sending traffic via a link in the profile header to either an affiliate program, Telegram/WhatsApp group, or signal bot. - **Two types of problems** [01:12] — Problems are either with attracting traffic (no views or clicks) or with traffic processing (views and clicks but no leads). - **Instagram moderation changes** [02:08] — META laid off 11,000 employees and deployed neural network moderation, leading to mass blocks. You can no longer re-upload the same videos; you must change the first 3 seconds (hook) to make it unique. - **Recommended games in 2026** [03:23] — As of May 2026, only two games are recommended: Ra and bass scrapers. To bypass restrictions, you can film the interface from another phone. - **Creative relevance over time** [04:19] — Games that performed well in the past may not work now. You need to monitor competitors and create similar creatives for currently popular games. - **Competitor research method** [05:18] — Find active gambling accounts, copy their nicknames, use a table to analyze their popular videos, and replicate their creative ideas. - **Match creative to offer** [08:20] — When changing the game in a creative, you must also change the offer to match, otherwise the audience will be confused and conversion drops. - **Irrelevant funnel mistake** [09:32] — Don't use outdated funnels. Research current competitors by searching 'Game in Bio' on Instagram and copy their exact funnel structure. - **Four types of gambling funnels** [10:43] — Direct to offer, via pre-lander with multiple offers, via Telegram channel with catalog, or via Telegram signal bot. - **Lucky Bear affiliate program** [11:12] — Example: for players losing $1,000, you get $650 instead of $500. Bonuses: first 50 deposits gives $250, 20 deposits gives $200. - **Building an audience base** [12:36] — Recommend directing traffic to a private Telegram channel with a welcome bot to collect emails and monetize traffic twice. - **Lack of compression** [13:51] — Remind referrals to deposit via Telegram channel or bot, which can add ~30% to total activity. ### Conclusion To succeed in gambling traffic arbitrage, you must stay updated with platform changes, monitor competitors, and actively process your traffic through multiple channels like Telegram to maximize conversions. ## Transcript videos about gambling in recent months. And this is at a time when everyone is saying that this vertical is collapsing. Why are you driving traffic to gambling but getting no results? Either there are zero views, or there are views , but the audience does not click the link in the profile header, although competitors have this in order. As a rule, it is enough to fix one or a couple of details, and everything will work out for you. But what are these details, we will analyze in this video. Enjoy watching. All information in The author does not encourage participation in financial transactions or other When flooding traffic with nagling, there is no need to complicate things. The short video funnel looks like this. First, we upload a short video demonstrating the functionality of our gaming game, and then we send traffic via the link in our profile header. This link can be either a direct link to our affiliate program, a link to a Telegram channel or WhatsApp group, depending on the region, or a link to a signal bot. In other words, traffic arbitrage is divided into two stages. The first is attracting traffic, those short videos, and the second is processing the traffic, that is, sending it either directly to a gambling game, or to a Telegram channel or WhatsApp group, or to a signal bot. Accordingly, when we don’t have leads, we may have one of two types of problems. There's a problem with attracting traffic, meaning problems with either the account, creatives, or traffic processing. That is, we provide volumes, but they do not convert into leads. And, accordingly, depending on this, we can determine what type of problem we have. If we don't have views, then we have problems attracting traffic. If we have bio, [music] we also have a problem with attracting traffic. Creatives are not targeted. If we have views and clicks, but no leads, then we have a problem with traffic processing. What are the potential problems with attracting traffic? First of all, irrelevant creatives. It's important to understand that it's early 2026, and Instagram has changed its moderation rules since then. META recently laid off 11,000 employees and deployed a neural network to moderate accounts. This led to mass blocking on the social network. These restrictions particularly affected gambling. And here it is important to understand two limitations. First, you can't re-upload the same videos like you did before. Our videos are divided into two components. This is the hook for the first three seconds and the main part. And to make the video unique, we just need to change the first 3 seconds. And the rest will be the same as in the previous videos. And such a video is considered unique. And this is how people promote entire accounts. We're just changing the hook. And the main part is the same video. And this way we can promote the account. We may have hundreds of videos with exactly the same main part. We're just changing the hook. This can't be done anymore. Social networks detect re-uploads, and such accounts are blocked. And if we want to re-upload the same videos, then we need to alternate, well, at least re- upload every six videos. The second upload every six videos. The second change was to tighten the rules for moderating glitch content. Now, to get recommended, we need to upload recommended, we need to upload only those games that are still allowed and have n't yet been flagged as casinos by Instagram's algorithms . And then we get into recommendations, collect views and drive traffic to the link in the profile header. Varia, May 2026, and now two games are being recommended. This is Ra, and also the bass scrapers. If we publish something older, either publish something older, either AVIMs or minions, then we have several ways to get around it. One of them is to publish the interface of this game by capturing the screen of another phone. That is, we shoot a video from one phone and another phone is in the frame , and there we demonstrate the interface elements of these gambling games. Another nuance with creatives. Some games perform better at certain times, while others perform worse. Let's say you launched creative AVIAMasters in the fall of 2025, it would give you a ton of conversions. But if you do this in the spring of 2026, then most likely there will be no conversion, because this game is no longer as exciting as it was six months ago, and traffic is simply not interested in visiting it. But there are a ton of other games that are currently generating a lot of interest from the audience, and they want to get a promo code for them. How does that same creativity work with buildings, for example, when you show how you build a skyscraper? Or RA is when you need to predict how many cars will cross the lane. It's important to keep your finger on the pulse, specifically, to look at what your competitors are publishing and what's working for them, and to create similar creatives. For example, I was looking for gambling accounts and found this one, [music] which uploads to the bush. And then we look at what creative ideas he has. Here is the last day ago, and today is May 5th. So the account is actively maintained, right? And now we see various creative ideas for now we see various creative ideas for bling. Mm, actually, yes. bling. Mm, actually, yes. Then we copy the nickname of this account and go to this table and click on and click on nickname. How much do we unload? I'll choose 10 for example, but in general I choose 10 for example, but in general I recommend uploading 50 dash 100. popular videos on this account recently. And, accordingly, here they are, ordered from the most popular to the most unpopular. That popular to the most unpopular. That is, those at the top are the most successful. This is what the table looks like. [music] And This is what the table looks like. [music] And now we see that the publication date, and all of them were published in April, that is, the data is extremely fresh. And then we go to these posts and see what is published there so that there are more views. This isn't a gambling game, as we can see, but we can still create similar creatives to boost our account. And here, well, it’s not shown. And now the game begins. shown. And now the game begins. And, accordingly, we see what kind of And, accordingly, we see what kind of game it is, and then we take, ah, the same one and start doing creative things with it. That is, our task is to find 5-10 competitors our task is to find 5-10 competitors in our niche and actively monitor them, what they publish, what games they are, what kind of creative structure they have, and do everything similar so that we have the most relevant videos. This table can be found in my private Telegram channel, Traffic Lab. This is a closed community of affiliate marketers where I share my connections and developments on the topic of traffic arbitrage. I recently published a mini-course there for everyone, specifically on how to promote an account using short videos, from the very first videos and from registering the right account so it doesn't get banned to monetization. [music] There you can also find a number of connections for the bay. Just take it and repeat it. Link to Trffic Lab in the description. Go ahead and explore. Fi forward li traffic together. It's more efficient than moving solo. And when you update the creative and change the game there, like I just described, it’s important to change [clears throat] the offer we’re using. Because if you change the creative, but the offer remains the same, then the audience comes expecting the gambling game you showed, but is faced with a completely different one, and ultimately they are not interested in it. She just doesn't understand what it's about, and conversion doesn't happen. Accordingly, you either change the offer from the creative to the game, or think about how to adapt the creative to the offer so as not to get banned and so that it is relevant for the current time. For example, if you're uploading to a signal bot, then, as a rule, signal bot, then, as a rule, everything is set up in the game with mines. And if you are pouring on mines, then you need to look at what kind of creatives they are pouring with. Typically, it shows the interface on a phone and on a computer. And on the phone there is that same signal bot that allows you to supposedly beat the casino, and on the laptop itself there is a game that supposedly gives in to us. Let's move on to traffic processing. And the first mistake that may prevent you from getting a conversion is an irrelevant funnel. So, two years ago, you watched a training video on how to flood gambling traffic, and now you're still flooding it with that same combination. [music] But times have changed and people's interests have changed, and you need to find out how traffic is processed right now. Go to Instagram and enter. Depending on Instagram and enter. Depending on the region, I'll enter Game in Bio. And, accordingly, we see accounts that are currently flooding into gambling. And we go to the profile. And it's important to make sure that these accounts are driving traffic that these accounts are driving traffic right now. They did this a year and a half ago . Let's go to the latest one and see when it was released. Yes, everything is as it should be here when it was released. Yes, everything is as it should be here . Well, so that the latest reels were . Well, so that the latest reels were link in the profile header and see what I'm uploading to this account. And then we copy the funnel exactly. There are four types of it in gambling. Either the account is uploaded directly to the offer, or through a pre-filled area where several offers are located. This is, for example, Backons AI, either on a Telegram channel with a catalog of offers, or on a Telegram signal bot. We research competitors and copy them. For example, I uploaded to the Lucky Bear affiliate program, and I liked its conditions. The players who lose $1,000, you'll get $650 instead of $500. Lucky Beer also regularly gives out bonuses. For example, if you make the first 50 deposits, you will receive a $250 reward. Bring 20 deposits, get $200 reward. Here's how to do it. On the main page, go to the VIP Partner section and, in fact, see the Personal in fact, see the Personal innings section. And here is my balance. To create a link, go to the Traffic Link section. And, accordingly, here are my links. And, accordingly, here are my links. and create a new one. Click Create New Traffic source. Ah, we choose to select a project. It's either a website, a bot, an Android app, or an iOS app. I choose a web and a title for the link. Well, let me have one test. Link created. Next, we copy and paste it depending on which platform we are uploading to. And here we can monitor the data for can monitor the data for each specific link. For example, I each specific link. For example, I this link I earned 39,000 rubles. Another problem with traffic processing. You are not building an audience base. I have already listed the types of gambling funnels. And of all the methods, I recommend directing traffic to the Telegram channel, because this way we can interact with our audience. I also recommend making the Telegram channel private and adding a welcome bot to it so that when an application is submitted, traffic also gets into the mailing list. And then we can interact with this base. For example, my new Telegram channel's database is available for distribution to 547 people. I poured it in literally a week. And people. I poured it in literally a week. And I can send a mailing to these 547 people, yes, monetize the same traffic twice from two platforms: a channel and a [music] bot. And when joining a channel, we can add welcome messages. I have two of them. The first one comes immediately, and the second one 4 minutes after joining the channel, or more precisely, after submitting an application. And this way I get the most out of my traffic. Even if I stop sending traffic using it, I will still have a base that I can interact with. And another problem with the funnel is the lack of compression. That is, we brought a person to a gambling game, he registered and forgot [music] about it. We have a referral that we can push, but we don’t do it. When registering in a gmling game, a referral specifies either an email address or a phone number. And, as a rule, a reminder email is sent . But, firstly, this mailing may end up in spam, and, secondly, the person may simply not check their email. The same can't be said about the Telegram channel, because more or less every Russian-speaking person is on Telegram. In other countries, the messenger is also becoming increasingly popular. And when we have a Telegram channel, we can either remind people about gambling games through posts or send out a newsletter through that very same welcome bot. This is approximately plus 30% of the total activity. Therefore, actively remind your referrals that they once registered in the Gemng game and so that they make deposits more actively. If you keep your finger on the pulse and actively process your traffic, everything will work out . And you will have your first deposits through the referral program. By the way, regarding keeping your finger on the pulse. I recently talked about a current gambling connection. To do this, watch this video and you can use this combination. She works. use this combination. She works. Good luck.
