The Challenge

  • • New crypto casino brand entering competitive Latin American market with zero brand awareness.
  • • Limited marketing budget prevented large-scale paid advertising or mega-influencer deals.
  • • Previous attempts at X/Twitter growth resulted in under 700 followers with minimal engagement after 3 months.
  • • Needed authentic community building to establish trust in a crowded crypto gambling space.

Betting Thread Formula That Went Viral

🎲 “The Setup”

Threads always started with genuine value: match analysis, odds comparison, or betting strategy tips—not promotional content.

→ Example: “Brazil vs Argentina analysis: Why the under 2.5 goals hit 78% of their last 10 meetings”

🔥 “The Hook”

After providing value, we’d include a subtle brand mention with exclusive X-community offer.

→ “My X followers get 10% cashback on this exact bet this weekend – just mention @BrandName when you deposit”

🤝 “The Engagement”

Every comment received a personalized reply within 2 hours, building authentic relationships.

→ 92% comment response rate maintained throughout campaign

🎯 “The Conversion”

Clear, low-friction conversion path with X-exclusive bonuses tracked via unique promo codes.

→ 23% of engaged commenters converted to depositing players

“The X community didn’t just grow a follower count—they built a tribe of players who actually trust our brand. When we launch new games or features, our community is the first to try them.”

The organic approach created sustainable growth that continued after the campaign ended, with the community self-moderating and welcoming new members without constant brand management.
