Looking for a high-intent audience, affordable traffic, and room to scale? Egypt is quietly becoming a hotspot for performance marketers in the iGaming vertical.
Despite the absence of formal local regulation, users actively engage with global entertainment platforms through VPNs, mirrors, and mobile apps. With over 8.9 billion monthly impressions on the Kadam network and an average click cost under $0.001, Egypt offers serious potential for media buyers.
Here’s how to succeed in this GEO, with smart targeting, localized creatives, and the Popunder ad format.
Why Egypt Is a high-potential market for iGaming traffic
Egypt combines scale with opportunity. With a mobile-first population and rising interest in digital games, the market is ideal for international platforms focused on real-money entertainment.
Popular verticals include:
- Skill-based mobile games with monetization mechanics
- Competitive entertainment platforms
- User engagement products with bonus-driven funnels
Thanks to a low cost-per-click and strong user behavior, Egypt is a top pick for performance-based iGaming campaigns.
Why Popunder advertising works so well in Egypt
Popunder remains one of the most effective formats in GEOs with advertising restrictions. It loads the target page behind the user’s browser — delivering visibility without disrupting their experience.
With Kadam’s Popunder format, you get:
- Built-in anti-fraud protection
- Advanced A/B testing tools
- Flexible targeting (device, OS, browser, location, language)
- Massive volume and cost-efficiency
This format is especially suited for fast-paced verticals like iGaming, where impulse-driven user actions make the difference.
What makes a platform perform in the Egyptian market
Users in Egypt tend to engage with well-known <strong>international platforms</strong> that:
- Support Arabic language and Egyptian Pound (EGP)
- Offer mobile-optimized UX
- Accept a range of payment methods (e-wallets, cards, crypto)
- Provide transparent terms and clear onboarding
Platforms that match local expectations tend to see higher conversion rates and stronger retention.
How to localize creatives for better CTR and ROI
Creatives should be tailored for the Egyptian audience — that means language, currency, visuals, and cultural cues all matter.
What we recommend:
- Use Arabic language in ad creatives
- Display prices and offers in EGP
- Reflect local values in visuals (avoid overly Western imagery)
- Focus on value messaging, not just bonuses
“AI can accelerate the process, but it’s no substitute for cultural relevance. Users recognize authenticity.”
