• Native sportsbook apps (FanDuel, Bet365, BetMGM) • Browser-optimized betting platforms • Casino games designed for vertical, tap-based play📉 Desktop traffic is in decline.

Mobile A/B testing is now essential.💸 Why Betting Apps Are a Goldmine for AffiliatesWhat most affiliates miss: operators often pay more for app installs than for web sign-ups.🟢 App Benefits for Affiliates: • Higher retention and LTV • More frequent deposits via push alerts • Easier remarketing and loyalty funnels📈 Smart Campaign Idea: Create pages dedicated to highlighting app features, like: • Instant cashout • Live match betting • Biometric login • Personalized odds boosts✅ Use deep links, promo codes, or app-specific CTAs to track installs and increase your value to operators.🔔 Push Notifications: Affiliate Retargeting’s Secret WeaponIf you’re driving app installs, leverage push notifications to engage users at just the right time.📲 Push use cases: • Pre-match betting odds • Last-minute bonuses or free bets • New slot game launches • Deposit reminders🧲 These micro nudges keep users active, help reduce churn, and increase bet frequency — and they can be integrated into your CRM strategy or promoted via operators’ app tools.📊 How to Future-Proof Your Mobile StrategyTo stay competitive in the mobile-first world of 2025, adopt these best practices:🔍 Audit your site’s mobile usability regularly using tools like Google Lighthouse🌎 Localize content for high-growth mobile markets like India, Nigeria, LATAM🎥 Embrace video and short-form content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels📲 Test interactive content like tap-to-reveal bonuses, vertical sliders, or app walkthroughs💬 Mobile-first isn’t just about devices — it’s about mindset.
