Background

About MegaPlay Studios

MegaPlay Studios is an independent mobile gaming studio specializing in hypercasual games. With their latest title reaching 1 million organic downloads in the first week, they needed to accelerate paid user acquisition to capitalize on early momentum.

The primary challenge: MegaPlay had a strict CPI ceiling of $0.40 for Tier 1 markets and needed to scale to 100,000 installs per month within 30 days while maintaining a D7 retention rate above 30%.

The Challenge

Scale Fast Without Sacrificing Quality

1

Strict CPI ceiling of $0.40 in Tier 1 (US, UK, DE, AU)

2

D7 retention must stay above 30% for LTV viability

3

Previous network delivered 60% invalid installs (device farms)

4

30-day window to prove scale before seasonal window closes

5

No rewarded video experience — creative testing from scratch

Our Solution

Multi-Channel CPI Strategy with Quality Controls

Bidroid deployed a three-pronged campaign architecture: (1) Rewarded video CPI via our top-performing gaming publishers, (2) Interstitial display across casual gaming apps for volume, and (3) Lookalike audience targeting based on MegaPlay's top 1% payer profiles from organic users.

All traffic passed through Bidroid's fraud detection layer with custom rules configured specifically for hypercasual gaming patterns. Device farms and click flooding sources were blacklisted within 48 hours based on post-install behavioral patterns.
