[00:01] advantages of gambling is the opportunity to advertise in different countries. But how do you know which country is right for you to work in? Today, we'll explore which countries are suitable for beginners, how to choose the right gambling country, and

[00:13] what Tiers 1, 2, and 3 are and how they differ. How do countries differ by tier? understand what a tier is. In traffic arbitrage, countries are divided into three categories:

[00:25] tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3. And each category has its own peculiarities in work. Countries you are in arbitration. Ti1 are the so-called developed countries with highly developed markets. USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Australia and the like. In these

[00:42] countries, online casinos are heavily regulated, creating high demand and significant opportunities for arbitrageurs. Among the advantages of working with these countries, the first one can highlight is high income. Payment for one

[00:55] attracted player reaches up to 260 dollars. That is, by bringing just 10 people, you will earn the average salary in Spain. The second advantage: many 1 is home to the largest concentration of online casinos, so you'll have a wide selection of offers

[01:09] . For example, in our affiliate program, about half are offers for affiliate program, about half are offers for tier 1 countries, but not without their drawbacks. One of these is fierce competition. Competing in such markets is more difficult

[01:22] because experienced arbitrageurs are already working there , competing for ad impressions just like they did last time. Another disadvantage is the large budgets. Yes, the payouts here are indeed high, but buying ads there is also more expensive. You

[01:37] won't even have enough $1,000 to get big reach. We are talking about tens of thousands of dollars invested. Overall, if you're a beginner, working with Tier 1 alone can be challenging, but if you have good experience with advertising

[01:51] platforms and are prepared for high competition, this is an excellent choice for those looking for big results. The countries of interest in arbitration are emerging market countries such as Brazil, India, Mexico, Estonia and so

[02:06] on. In these countries, the market is not yet oversaturated with advertising, and gambling is not so strictly regulated. Fees range from $20 to $150 per person. Among the advantages of this shooting range, the following can be highlighted . Relatively low prices for

[02:20] traffic. The cost per click and CPM in Tier 2 are often lower than in Tier 1, which allows for lower user acquisition costs . Better suited for beginners. It's easier to get started with VIRED because the audience in these

[02:35] countries isn't yet overloaded with advertising, and you'll be able to work with an average number of metrics for the first time. large volumes of traffic. Despite the fact that these are less popular countries, there is more traffic here than in tier 1. There are also disadvantages. Low

[02:49] conversion in the initial stages. You may find that GMling is not as widespread in these countries and the conversion rate will be lower than in Tier One. Problems with the language barrier. If you don't know the language of that country, it will be more difficult for you

[03:03] to work with creatives. Despite this, Tier 2 is a good choice for beginners. If you're just starting out, it's easier to test your businesses in these countries because competition is lower and traffic isn't as expensive. This is a great

[03:16] starting market to get your hands dirty. Tier 3 are countries with low market development levels, such as Indonesia, Nigeria, Cambodia, Vietnam and so on. In these countries, the gambling market is still in its infancy or is not

[03:31] vary from one to 20 dollars per attracted player. The question arises: "How will I earn money if they only pay one dollar per deposit?" This is the peculiarity of this shooting range. Advertising here is very cheap, and for a small budget

[03:46] you will get huge traffic. Here we'll focus on quantity, the metrics will be off the charts, your ads will be seen by a lot of people, and you'll receive a lot of deposits, which will then add up to a good profit. There is very little competition here

[03:58] , which means you will often win advertising auctions. But there are two more problems: the language barrier and problems with local payments. Since online casinos are simply not adapted to local deposit methods, and your

[04:12] player will find themselves in a situation where they are unable to make a deposit. Tier 3 is a good alternative for beginners in second place. You get a large amount of data and a large audience for minimal costs. It's considered the easiest market in

[04:26] gambling, but to make good money, you'll have to buy a lot of advertising and work with a lot of data. By the way, we've already covered the specifics of working with traffic from most countries in our Telegram channel, so
