Fiat-Only Marketing Plan · Sep 2026 — Dec 2027 · Germany · Austria · Malta
💳 Exclusive Strategy

A pure fiat-led acquisition strategy for Hertzbetz.com across Germany, Austria and Malta, covering the original 12-month program (M1–M12, Sep 2026–Aug 2027) plus a self-funding extension through Dec 2027 (M13–M16). Four active channels: Affiliation, FB Media Buying, Influencer & Streamer, and Organic SEO — PPC Blackhat and Branding & Social have been paused, with that budget reallocated into Affiliation, the proven best-converting channel. Monthly profitability first achieved in M10 at 1.22x ROI and stays profitable through year-end. Original 12-month program budget $2.5M ($1.01M marketing spend + $1.49M Opex) targeting 4,946 FTDs (eCPA: DE $204.25 flat (−5%) · AT $200 · MT $190; DE ADPU +5% on the normal monthly curve). The M13–M16 extension keeps spending and acquiring at the same volume, with its profit contribution trimmed by a conservative 10% each month (kept at 90% of the original model's projection) — across the full 16-month window the program spends $1.78M in marketing plus $2.07M in Opex, generates $4.72M NGR from 8,758 FTDs, and turns cumulatively cash-positive by Sep 2027, closing Dec 2027 at +$875.5k — see the Extended Forecast tab for the full breakdown.

Funding Requirement & Assumptions
Where and when additional capital is required
  • Peak funding requirement: ≈ $439,000 — cumulative cash bottoms out at −$438,698
  • Gap peaks in Month 9 (May 2027) — 9 months into the plan
  • Monthly cash flow turns positive from Month 10 (Jun 2027) onward, once NGR alone covers that month's Budget + Opex
  • Cumulative position does not recover to $0 within the 12-month plan — it improves from the M9 trough but is still negative at year-end
  • Year-end cumulative position: −$110,949 by Month 12 (Aug 2027)
  • The draw builds progressively (~−$48k in M1 widening to the −$439k trough by M9, then narrowing to −$111k by M12) — better structured as a working-capital facility sized to ~$483–505k (padded 10–15% over the trough for a safety margin), drawn down monthly as needed, rather than a single upfront investment. Note this facility would still be carrying a ~$111k balance at Month 12 — it does not fully unwind within the 12-month window modeled here
  • Extension (M13–M16, Sep–Dec 2027, trimmed): with the extension's profit trimmed by 10% each month (kept at 90% of the original self-funding projection), cumulative position still crosses positive in Month 13 (Sep 2027) and closes Month 16 (Dec 2027) at +$875,532, versus the un-trimmed +$986,808. Monthly ROI across M13–M16 eases modestly, from ~1.49–1.96x in the original projection to ~1.62–1.86x here. See the Extended Forecast tab for the month-by-month detail.
Modeling assumptions
  • NGR is collected the same month it's generated — no PSP settlement lag or chargeback holdback modeled
  • Marketing Budget and Opex are paid out the same month they're spent — no net-30/net-60 terms for affiliates or media buys
  • No tax, gaming duty, or licensing fees modeled — flagged as a gap, not estimated
  • Opening cash position is set to $0 at M1 — this shows the incremental cash this plan generates or consumes on its own, not total company cash including existing reserves
  • Rests on the H2 deposit-boost assumptions (+55% to +98%) that drive the turnaround from M7 onward — if deposits ramp slower than modeled, the trough would be deeper and the recovery later
  • Includes a +3% GGR conversion uplift from the Affiliation-focused channel mix (PPC Blackhat and Branding & Social budget reallocated into the best-converting channel) — a modest, directional estimate, not independently validated against real channel-level conversion data
New Opportunities
Additional growth levers beyond the core 12-month fiat plan
🔓

150K Pre-Qualified Leads — Ready Day 1

Access to a segmented lead database — available from Day 1, once the site has passed full audit and optimisation. Recommended approach is gradual send-outs to test deliverability and conversion before scaling into the wider acquisition mix. Further volume available on request, with room to expand into additional geos.

🎮

Nordics Influencer Network

Austria and Malta have rapidly growing YouTube and TikTok creator ecosystems. Partnering with 10–20 mid-tier KOLs (100k–500k followers) per market on a hybrid CPA + retainer model could deliver high-quality FTDs at blended eCPAs below $76 — well below the paid media buying benchmark. Recommended activation from M3 at $15k–25k per market, scaling in H2 once ROI is validated.

Hertzbetz · Supplementary to the 12-Month Strategy

Extended Forecast — Through End of 2027

The 12-month program (Sep 2026 – Aug 2027, $2.5M) extended four more months (Sep–Dec 2027) under a self-funding budget rule instead of further shareholder capital — the same acquisition/retention engine, run four months longer.
● Self-sufficient from Month 13

Spend and acquisition volume for M13–M16 stay exactly as modeled (budget still ramps $165k → $224k/mo), and the extension's profit contribution is trimmed by a conservative 10% each month (kept at 90% of the original self-funding projection) — a modest haircut rather than a deep discount. Opex has been fully covered by NGR since Month 7 (Mar 2027), and includes a +$15k/mo increase from Month 12 (Aug 2027) onward. Cumulative cash position — negative for the entire original 12 months, bottoming at ‑$438.7k in Month 9 — crosses to positive in Month 13 (Sep 2027) and reaches +$875.5k by end of Dec 2027, with monthly ROI holding in a 1.62x–1.86x band, modestly below the 1.49x–1.96x range the un-trimmed projection showed.

This rests on one reinvestment-rate assumption (35% of prior month's NGR into next month's marketing, floored so it never shrinks), trimmed by a further flat 10%/month margin of safety — see Assumptions below. It's a directional projection built on the 12-month plan's own mechanics, not a guarantee; treat it as the shape of the story, and stress-test the reinvestment rate before presenting it as a commitment.

Assumptions for the Extension (M13–M16)
Everything for M1–M12 is unchanged from the 12-month plan. These are the new rules applied only to the 4 extension months.
  • Self-funding ruleMarketing budget = 35% of the previous month's NGR, floored at the prior month's budget so it never shrinks — same as before, budget still grows $165k → $224k/mo.
  • 10% monthly trimThe extension's resulting profit (NGR minus budget minus Opex) is reduced by 10% each month — kept at 90% of what the reinvestment loop originally projected — per Sven's instruction, a modest margin of safety rather than a deep discount.
  • Opex+$15,000/mo from Month 12 (Aug 2027) onward — this raises M12's own Opex too (from $125,253 to $140,253/mo), not just the extension months.
  • ADPU (deposit per user)Continues improving at a gentle +1%/month per market, off the Aug 2027 level — far gentler than the +5%/mo back-loaded push modeled for M10–M12, since that was a one-time optimization push, not a permanent growth rate.
  • Deposit-quality boostHeld flat at the Aug 2027 level (1.98x) rather than continuing to escalate — conservative, avoids compounding an already-aggressive H2 assumption indefinitely.
  • Legacy/organic GGRSame decay formula continues, converging toward its $85k/mo floor.
  • eCPA, country split, GGR/NGR ratesHeld flat at their 12-month-plan values (Germany 65% / Austria 30% / Malta 5%; DE $204.25, AT $200, MT $190 eCPA).
Cumulative Cash Position — 16 Months

⚠ Caveats to flag alongside this to shareholders

  • This extension inherits every assumption already baked into the 12-month plan (redeposit decay, uplift factors, the H2 deposit-quality boost) — if actual M1–M12 results land materially below plan, the M13–M16 starting point shifts and these numbers should be re-run from actuals, not from the projection.
  • The 35% reinvestment rate is a proposal, not a derived figure — it's the lever that trades off growth speed vs. cash buffer. A lower rate (e.g. 25%) grows the marketing budget slower but builds cash faster; a higher rate does the opposite. Worth presenting as a range, not a single number.
  • No CPA inflation, no diminishing returns from market saturation, and no competitive response are modeled as spend scales past $200k/mo — at some point eCPA typically rises as easy inventory gets exhausted.
  • Currency, licensing, and regulatory costs for D-A-CH are assumed stable; no provision for one-off costs (new licences, market-specific compliance).
Hertzbetz · Acquisition

What Is Acquisition?

The umbrella term for every paid or partnership-driven channel that brings a new, real-money depositing customer to Hertzbetz.com. Everything in the Marketing Plan tab's budget — Affiliation, FB Media Buying, Influencer & Streamer, Organic SEO — is an acquisition channel.

Acquisition is how a new player finds Hertzbetz.com, clicks through, registers, and makes their first deposit (FTD). It's distinct from retention (keeping existing players depositing and playing) — acquisition is specifically about growing the depositing player base with net-new customers.

Every channel in the 12-month plan is a different way of doing this: paying a media platform directly for ad placements (FB Media Buying), paying content creators to promote the brand (Influencer & Streamer), investing in search ranking so players find the site organically over time (SEO), or — the largest single channel by budget — paying third-party partners a commission for every qualifying depositing customer they refer (Affiliation).

🤝

Affiliation

Third-party sites/partners refer depositing customers via a tracking link, paid per qualifying FTD or a revenue share.

📱

FB Media Buying

Paid ad placements bought directly on Meta platforms, targeting the DE/AT/MT markets.

🎥

Influencer & Streamer

Content creators (YouTube, Twitch, TikTok) promote the brand to their existing audience.

🔍

Organic / SEO

Compounding, non-paid traffic from search rankings — slower to build, cheapest per FTD once established.

Example
Example of Affiliation
The largest single acquisition channel in the plan (55% of monthly spend) — worth walking through in detail.

We purchase a listing with our brand on external affiliate SEO sites, forums, channels, apps, etc. — third-party platforms with an existing audience of potential players. The affiliate places our casino on their site with a unique affiliate tracking link, and is rewarded for every depositing customer that fulfills the deal criteria.

  • Tracking linkEvery affiliate gets a unique link so any resulting registration and deposit can be attributed back to them specifically.
  • Deal criteriaThe affiliate is only rewarded once a referred player fulfills the agreed conditions — typically a confirmed first deposit at or above a minimum threshold.
  • Reward structurePaid as a flat CPA per qualifying FTD, a revenue share of that player's ongoing losses, or a hybrid of both — see the Affiliate Database tab for current partner terms.

Low / Conservative assumes only a token first concession from each provider — a small, easy win rather than a real renegotiation outcome. Medium / Likely assumes solid renegotiation outcomes at roughly the midpoint of each target range. High / Optimistic assumes every lever lands at the top of its stated benchmark, which would require strong leverage in every negotiation running in parallel — realistic as a stretch goal, not a base case. All figures are annualised against the current $3.68M 12M GGR run-rate and would scale up or down with actual GGR as the plan executes.

Beyond the 150K in-hand base, there's a wider database of 350,000 leads spanning Germany, Austria, and Finland. Finland is built in parallel with DE/AT from the start of this phase, without requiring extra budget — the SMS/Email send-out infrastructure is already being stood up for the core two markets, so extending the same pipes to the Finnish contacts adds no separate spend, only incremental send volume.

Once the core three markets are performing to plan, open a fourth market such as Finland — an attractive next step given its comparatively light operational lift, favourable PSP costs, and strong player value. Entry is sequenced deliberately, so the proven playbook from Phases 1–4 carries straight across rather than starting from scratch.

Audit Brief
A complete, screenshot-led audit of the Hertzbetz.com site and end-to-end customer journey — from first landing, through deposit and onboarding, to VIP retention — with the sole objective of identifying friction points and fixing them ahead of the $2.5M acquisition push, so every euro of paid traffic converts at the best possible rate.
Scope also extends beyond the site itself: a full assessment of third-party sportsbook and game providers (feasibility and commercial terms), a full assessment of the CRM software and the team's capability to run it, a dedicated Customer Support check, and an overall assessment of team performance and scalability ahead of the 12-month ramp.

This is the current, all-in Opex baseline (payroll, corporate overhead, platform/licensing fees, and payment processing costs combined) — it replaces the previous $90,000/mo base + SoftSwiss fee + Sven salary breakdown, which is now folded into the figures above. The duplicate “Corp fees” line ($11,700/mo) has been removed as it overlapped with Corporate allocation.
