Creating Campaigns for the 2026 FIFA World Cup: Direct Campaigns or Partner Networks.<\/span><\/h2>\n

ExoClick provides quality traffic for sports betting offers<\/strong>. When creating your iGaming campaigns, first choose your target. You can create<\/span> Direct Campaigns<\/b> or campaigns that include <\/span>Partner Networks. <\/b>Here are the characteristics of each:<\/span><\/p>\n

Direct Campaigns:<\/b> Include Premium, RON, and Members Area traffic sources. These are stable zones with consistent traffic. If a direct zone performs well with your offers, consult your Account Manager or the Customer Success team about custom or exclusive deals for that zone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Partner Networks<\/b>: This includes plugged-in zones from partners, meaning you have more opportunities to reach a wider audience and GEOs for traffic to scale campaigns, but unlike a direct campaign, you will not be able to target as deeply as with direct or create an exclusive deal for the associated traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember!<\/b> Segment your traffic by creating separate campaigns for Direct Supply and Partner Networks. This maximizes your budget and helps identify top-performing zones!<\/span><\/p>\n
