SMS Casino Reactivation: 12% Base Revived After 180+ Days
SMS Reactivation Case Study

SMS Casino Reactivation

How we brought 12% of a 180+ day dormant casino base back to life with hyper-segmented SMS and strategic free spins

180+ Days Dormant 12% Reactivated 60% GGR Uplift

The Challenge

  • • Large casino database with zero engagement for 180+ days
  • • Standard email blasts yielded <2% open rates and near-zero ROI
  • • Players were considered a “lost cost” with no clear path to reactivation
  • • A one-size-fits-all offer was guaranteed to fail across diverse player types

Our Solution

We deployed a hyper-segmented SMS reactivation campaign, splitting the base into 4 cohorts and tailoring no-deposit and deposit-matched free spins to each group’s historical preferences.

The 4-Cohort Reactivation Strategy

Cohort 1: No Deposit (noDep)

Players who never funded an account.

No-deposit FS on trending new games to create first-time experience.

Cohort 2: Low Activity (1-3 dep)

Casual, low-value depositors.

Small FS package on their preferred provider + gentle deposit nudge.

Cohort 3: Mid-Tier (4-8 dep)

Engaged players who slowly drifted away.

Deposit-matched FS + “We miss you” messaging on favorite slots.

Cohort 4: High-Value (8+ dep)

Former VIPs or high-LTV players.

Premium offer with higher value FS and a direct support line.

“The ‘risk-free’ re-entry of a no-deposit free spin was the master key for our most dormant players. It wasn’t about the value, it was about the permission to play again without commitment.”

By respecting the players’ history and tailoring the offer to their past behavior, we made the reactivation feel personal and relevant, not like a desperate, generic plea.
