Alternative to Meta Ads: run arbitrage campaigns without getting banned
In this article, we'll explain why Meta has become a trap for arbitrage campaigns and how Kadam helps advertisers run campaigns with speed, stability, and no bans.
01 Jul 2025
Social media advertising might seem like the ideal solution for both launching and scaling campaigns. Global reach, highly engaged users, and strong impulse-buy behavior make platforms like Meta (Facebook and Instagram) highly attractive. But for affiliates and those working in grey verticals like iGaming, Nutra, and Dating, this path often leads straight to bans.
In this article, we’ll explain why Meta has become a trap for arbitrage campaigns and how Kadam helps advertisers run campaigns with speed, stability, and no bans.
Social media: direct line to scale
When you think about launching paid traffic, social media is often the first channel that comes to mind. Facebook, Instagram, and X (Twitter) offer access to massive global audiences. For any advertiser looking to quickly test an offer, it’s a logical first step.
Let’s look at the numbers:
- X (formerly Twitter) — 600+ million users
- Meta (Facebook) — Around 3.07 billion users
By 2027, Facebook’s user base is projected to reach 3.1 billion. The scale is impressive, but it’s also deceptive. Let’s unpack why.
Why Meta doesn’t work for iGaming
Meta platforms officially prohibit advertising for multiple verticals, including iGaming. Even if your creatives are compliant and campaigns are clean, your account is still at risk of being banned without warning.
Common issues include:
- Creatives get rejected without explanation
- Ad accounts are banned after the first launch
- Entire Business Managers and personal profiles are wiped out
- You lose access to warmed-up audiences and analytics
On forums advertisers often refer to launching iGaming campaigns on Meta as “Russian roulette.”
Recently, running gambling ads on Facebook has been getting accounts banned aggressively — everyone is complaining.”

Even using anti-detect browsers and proxies doesn’t guarantee your account will survive more than a few weeks.
Kadam: A real alternative to Facebook Ads
Kadam doesn’t impose restrictions on sensitive verticals. You can run fully compliant campaigns for iGaming, Nutra, Dating, and more with real support and fast moderation.
What makes us different:
- Moderation takes ~20 minutes on average
- Transparent rules, clearly outlined in our terms
- Manual review available if your creative is flagged

Why ban-free arbitrage changes everything
Running offers without fear of bans gives you:
- Freedom from costly anti-detect setups and burner accounts
- Predictable spend and consistent traffic

- Access to placements Meta doesn't have
This kind of stability leads to stronger ROI and lower operational costs. In fact, internal Kadam data shows that most of our new clients joined us after facing Meta’s moderation issues. Industry-wide studies back this up: 93% of social ads violate at least one policy, and over 60% of advertisers experience account bans during early campaigns (FT).
