Crypto sportsbook marketing agency

Why crypto sportsbooks need a narrower creator plan

A crypto book sits between two worlds. The bettor holds coins and lives on X and Telegram, while the licence and the platforms decide where that bettor may be reached. Both moved a lot in the last two years.

• Licences are under review. Curacao replaced its old master licences with direct licences under the LOK, issuing provisional ones from 24 December 2024 and extending them in June 2025. Anjouan tightened its licence conditions after the FATF report on gambling risks of 9 September 2026.
• YouTube checks who you are. Since 19 March 2025, YouTube removes links, logos and spoken mentions of gambling sites Google has not approved, and age-restricts online gambling content for under-18s and signed-out viewers.
• Kick wants age checks. From February 2025, Kick only allows gambling streams from sites that verify users with ID checks. A book without KYC at sign-up is a risk for any streamer you pay.
• Wrong-market promotion is a criminal risk. In Great Britain, advertising gambling that is not licensed there can be an offence under section 330 of the Gambling Act 2005. A creator with a large UK audience is the wrong pick for an offshore book, however good the numbers look.

Casino play and sports betting need different creators, so this page covers the book only. For slots, live dealer and originals, see our crypto casino marketing agency service.

Four creator types for a crypto book, side by side

Each creator type earns its fee at a different point of the betting week. We pick by the fixture calendar, not by follower count.

Most crypto books start with two match-day KOLs and one Telegram channel for a month, then add a streamer once the code shows real deposits. Fiat books on regulated markets follow different rules, which our sportsbook marketing agency page covers.

How we run a crypto sportsbook campaign

1. Licence and geo check. We read your licence terms, list the countries you block and turn that into a casting rule for every creator.
2. Fixture calendar. We map the leagues and events your bettors follow, from Premier League weekends to UFC cards, and set posting windows around them.
3. Creator vetting. Each KOL, channel and streamer is checked for audience location, adult followers, bot activity and past promotions of unlicensed books.
4. Briefs and labels. Picks are framed as opinion, every paid post carries an ad label, and crypto deposits appear only as a feature your licence allows, never as a reason to bet more.
5. Weekly cut. After each round of fixtures we pause creators with no deposits and move budget to the ones bringing bettors who come back.

Streamer sessions get their own run sheet. Our Kick streamer sponsorship management page shows how we handle deal terms, codes and stream rules on Kick.

What you get

• A geo and licence casting rule Which markets each creator may reach, written down before booking.
• A fixture-led creator plan KOLs, Telegram channels, streamers and clippers matched to the event calendar.
• Vetted creator shortlist Audience location, age split, engagement quality and sponsor history for each name.
• Approved briefs Pick wording, ad labels, responsible gambling lines and the offer terms your licence allows.
• Per-creator tracking One link or code per creator, so every deposit has a source.

We report registrations, first time deposits, wagering and 30-day retention per creator, taken from your back office. Deposit coin and bet type sit in the same sheet, so you can see whether a KOL brings stablecoin bettors who stay or one-off punters.

Every KOL passes the same checks we describe in our crypto KOL due diligence guide before we spend your budget.

Why 3betmedia

We have run crypto KOL campaigns since 2018, including exchange user acquisition for Binance, MEXC and Gate.io. Those audiences hold coins already, which is the same bettor a crypto book wants. Today we also run streamer and clipping campaigns for crypto casinos and sportsbooks.

We never market a book into a country it does not hold a licence for, and we never sell betting as income. You approve every creator and every brief. Our gambling influencer marketing compliance guide sets out the rules we work to.
