How to Launch High-Performing iGaming Campaigns in Brazil with Popunder Ads
This article shares our insights on using the Popunder format to reach Brazilian users at scale — and convert them efficiently.
01 Jul 2025
Brazil is one of the most promising markets in the global iGaming landscape. Since the regulation of sports betting, international brands have shown growing interest in reaching this mobile-first, value-sensitive audience. According to Statista, Brazil’s iGaming-related revenue is projected to grow at 6.54% CAGR (2025–2029) and surpass $9 billion by 2029.
But with opportunity comes complexity: high competition, language nuances, and the need for smart, localized user acquisition strategies.
At Kadam, we’ve helped dozens of clients succeed in this GEO.
This article shares our insights on using the Popunder format to reach Brazilian users at scale — and convert them efficiently.
Why Popunder is a smart choice for iGaming in Brazil
Popunder remains one of the top-performing formats across our network — especially for verticals that rely on fast user decisions and broad reach.
Within the Kadam platform alone, Popunder traffic in Brazil accounts for over 13.6 billion monthly impressions, with click prices starting at just $0.006.
Key benefits of Popunder ads:
- Ad appears behind the user’s active browser tab — visible but non-intrusive
- Compatible with both single-landing and funnel-based experiences
- Built-in fraud protection for traffic quality
- Advanced targeting options: GEO, devices, browser language, OS version
Adapting Campaigns for the Brazilian Market
Success in Brazil comes down to localization. Users are sensitive to trust signals, pricing, and relevance. Here’s what works:
Language
- Use Brazilian Portuguese in all creatives and landers
- Avoid English — it decreases user trust and engagement
- Native-speaker review or tools like DeepL are a must
Currency & Economic Context
- Always show prices and bonuses in Brazilian Real (R$)
- Average monthly income is $400–500, so offers should feel accessible and realistic
High-Impact Locations
- São Paulo — large solvent user base
- Rio de Janeiro — mix of local and tourist traffic
- Northeast cities (e.g. Salvador, Fortaleza) — strong mobile adoption among younger audiences
Funnel Tips: Designing Landing Flows That Convert
Combo Funnels: Prelanding + Landing Page
This setup drives strong performance for Popunder traffic. A prelanding page engages the user and primes them to act whether via a “Wheel of Fortune,” quiz, or interactive challenge before moving them to a main landing page with the offer and form.

One-Page Landing (All-in-One)
If you’re running high-traffic Popunder campaigns, a direct lander with a clear headline and registration form can significantly reduce drop-off. Highlight the value within the first 3 seconds and keep load times under 2 seconds.

Technical Setup: Optimizing for Speed, Trust, and UX
Element | Recommendation |

Load Speed | Under 2 seconds; use compressed assets and a CDN |
Page Weight | ≤ 200 KB |
