CoinMarketCap advertising: direct CPM access across web, Android and iOS
Reach CoinMarketCap users through dedicated CPM campaigns on web, Android and iOS. Understand the options for licensed gambling projects and how to use campaign results to guide your next investment.
Cointraffic’s direct connection to CoinMarketCap lets advertisers run dedicated CPM campaigns on the CoinMarketCap website and in its Android and iOS apps. Once your project is approved by CoinMarketCap, all three platforms are available. Run web traffic only, choose either app or combine them in one media plan.
Licensed gambling, casino, betting and iGaming projects can advertise too, subject to CoinMarketCap’s approval and creative requirements.
Choose where your CoinMarketCap ads appear
Your campaign can run entirely on CoinMarketCap, without including other publishers in Cointraffic’s network. The connection supports in-page banner ads across three platforms:
| Platform | Where the ad appears |
|---|---|
| Web | The CoinMarketCap website on desktop and mobile browsers |
| Android | Inside the CoinMarketCap Android app |
| iOS | Inside the CoinMarketCap iOS app |
What a CoinMarketCap-only campaign lets you learn
A dedicated campaign lets you assess CoinMarketCap as a channel in its own right, rather than relying on a network-wide average. The question becomes more useful: “How does CoinMarketCap perform for this offer, in this market, on this platform?”
How web and app placements compare
You can compare the response to your offer across CoinMarketCap web, Android and iOS while keeping the publisher fixed. Keep the target countries, offer and campaign period comparable, and use the same measures of success.
For example, an exchange could test the same message on CoinMarketCap’s website and Android app in one market. Reviewing delivery, clicks and any reliably measured account registrations separately gives it a clearer basis for the next platform decision than combining everything into one result.
How your message performs with CoinMarketCap users
A publisher-specific campaign also gives you a focused setting for testing your message. Within the same platform and market, compare two approved creatives that communicate different product benefits.
A stronger click-through rate (CTR) suggests a difference in immediate response; it does not establish which message creates more customers. Where your reporting supports it, look at what those visitors do next. This helps you decide whether to keep the message, develop a new creative or review the landing-page experience.
Where the next budget allocation should go
The next step might be to extend your web campaign, add an app or increase exposure in a particular market. It does not have to be an equal split across all three platforms.
Check what sits behind the average. An overall improvement may come from a different mix of countries, rather than better results within each country. Allow comparable time for users to register or deposit, and avoid treating a few conversions as a reliable pattern.
These comparisons help you make a specific decision about CoinMarketCap, rather than simply buy more crypto traffic. Start with a manageable number of combinations so the budget can produce useful evidence for each one.
Build your brand’s presence on CoinMarketCap
CoinMarketCap offers an opportunity to introduce your brand while people follow markets, research crypto assets and check their watchlists. For exchanges, wallets and trading tools, that is a relevant context. For a crypto casino, the opportunity is to reach a crypto audience, not a pre-qualified group of players.
Registrations, funded accounts and first-time deposits remain important business goals. Display advertising also has a role before those actions: helping people become familiar with your brand before they are ready to choose a product.
That makes brand awareness an important reason to include CoinMarketCap in a media plan. CPM is the buying model, not the objective: it buys ad exposure rather than a guaranteed number of registrations or deposits.
Agree on the campaign’s role before launch. For an awareness-led campaign, review delivery and audience response alongside any measured acquisitions, rather than judging it only by immediate deposits. For an acquisition-led campaign, keep the agreed customer-action targets central to the review.
Impressions alone do not prove that people remember the brand. Changes in branded searches or direct visits can add context, but a CoinMarketCap-only campaign does not automatically establish that it caused those changes.
Can gambling projects advertise on CoinMarketCap?
Yes. Licensed gambling, casino, betting and iGaming projects can advertise across CoinMarketCap web, Android and iOS once approved. Approval of the business does not, however, mean that every banner is acceptable.
Cointraffic’s premium website requirements specify project verification and a valid, active gambling licence. Gambling terms such as “casino”, “slots”, “poker” and “bet now” are not allowed on CoinMarketCap banners.
The banner offer must match the approved website landing page. Telegram channels and social media pages are not accepted as destinations. If your licence covers specific territories only, campaign targeting must stay within those territories; publisher approval does not replace applicable advertising rules.
For crypto casino and betting campaigns, build these requirements into the creative brief rather than submitting an unchanged banner set from another channel.
How much does a CoinMarketCap CPM campaign cost?
The cost depends on the platforms, target markets and campaign setup in your Cointraffic media plan. CPM is variable, so equal budgets do not necessarily buy equal impression volumes across web, Android and iOS.
Compare proposals for the same placements, platforms and countries. A price or minimum spend for another CoinMarketCap package is not a rate card for this connection.
There is no need to test every platform at once. Your initial allocation should support the campaign’s main objective and the specific comparison you want to make; subsequent spend can follow what you learn.
