How to use these numbers

Compare your vertical to the median; plan test spend from the “Test budget” column, not the $500 deposit alone.

• Crypto / Web3: High-risk: risk disclosure + TRAFFIX pre-moderation required • Gambling / iGaming: License/geo critical; stricter moderation • Fintech / neobanks: Euro cabinet + external landing more common than TON • E-commerce: Works best with UTM + bot retargeting • SaaS / B2B: Longer cycle; bot lead-magnet helps • Education / info products: TON funnels to channel/bot often cheaper than Euro

  • Deposit ≠ test budget
  • High-risk: TRAFFIX pre-moderation
  • Euro vs TON affects CPM
