Trackers, postback and SubID

How casino infrastructure integrates with trackers and analytics: postback links, SubID marking, source tracking and traffic optimization.
Expert Nikolay Orlov

Modern online casinos are not only software and slots, but also competent traffic analytics. For partners, webmasters and arbitrageurs, it is important to be able to track the effectiveness of each link, ad and channel. This is made possible by integrating with trackers, using SubID parameters and postback notifications.

What is a tracker and why is it needed

Tracker is a traffic analytics and routing system that allows you to:
  • Track clicks, registrations, deposits, player activity
  • See where each user came from
  • Conduct A/B tests, switch offers, change gaskets
  • Optimize budget consumption and increase CR

Popular trackers: Keitaro, Binom, Voluum, RedTrack, AdsBridge

SubID: tracking sources

A SubID is a dynamic parameter in a reference that transmits traffic source information.

Example:
text
https://casino. com/?aff_id=123&sub1=google_ads&sub2=slot_keywords

Why use SubID:

  • See which campaigns, keys, landing pages are yielding results
  • Filter reports flexibly by any nesting level
  • Automatically transfer data to the postback system

Postback links (S2S)

Postback (S2S tracking) is a reverse notification mechanism from casino to tracker:
  • Status transfer: 'registration', 'deposit', 'verification', 'FTD', 'refand'
  • Setting parameters: 'sub1', 'payout', 'click _ id'
  • Transfer by protected token or key
Example of a postback link:

https://tracker. com/postback? cid={click_id}&event=deposit&sum={amount}

What can be transmitted via postback

Event Value
Registration Confirmation that the player has created an account
Deposit Amount and status of first/second deposit
Activity Bets, Games, Bonus Completion
KYC Verification
Failure or fraud Traffic Block or Cancel Event

Integration into the casino platform

Improve ROI through deep campaign optimization


Integration with trackers, SubID and postback is the basis for successful performance marketing in online casinos. It allows operators and partners to control the player's entire path, analyze each source of traffic and make decisions based on data. In a competitive environment, this is not an "add-on" but a necessary standard.
