Who doesn’t enjoy watching an ad that was executed brilliantly? And thanks to the many creatives backing the online casino industry, we have seen quite a bit of fantastic gambling ads in the past couple of years.
Not only do they captivate those who watch it, but they also entertain and tell the brand’s story. One cannot help but admire what ad agencies accomplish with their creative ideas that perfectly captures what these gambling brands are all about.
Bet365
First up, we have Bet365’s 2013 television ad. While the 30-second ad might seem a bit void of any hard advertising, the brand managed to capture the essence of what it stands for. The online casino is known for its fantastic platform filled with a wide range of games.
The betting platform is also easy to use and easy on the eye. This was perfectly captured in their futuristic ad that portrays how easily one navigates the site, and how superior their service offering is compared to competitors.
William Hill
William Hill is a big name in the gambling world. Not only is the platform one of the biggest and most trusted, but it also boasts a wide range of games and a reputable sportsbook. It only makes sense that the brand would come up with a brilliant television ad for their online casino.
The ad takes place in a land-based casino, but there is a twist. Some visitors can be seen drinking coffee and having cookies, while others are walking around in their pyjamas. They perfectly captured the convenience one can expect when joining the William Hill casino.
Party Casino
The name of this online casino kind of says it all. Party Casino is another big name in the world of online casinos, offering punters a wide variety of games including live dealer games. This is paired with excellent customer care and loads of promotions.
In this ad, viewers can see multiple casino visitors in a futuristic setting where digital cards and chips are dealt with. Once a player wins, money and chips start falling on their heads. This is accompanied by a catchy tune. The ad perfectly portrays the operator’s high-quality services.
Paddy Power Ryder Cup
Next up, we have something different. When it comes to surprising audiences with guerilla marketing tactics, Paddy Power takes the cake and then some. Paddy Power is a Dublin-based online casino offering punters a whole range of games and excellent benefits.
During the Ryder Cup, the Paddy Power team hired some pilots who left a Twitter message in support of the European team at the Medinah Country club. Needless to say, their efforts went viral and support for the European team poured in over social media networks.
Paddy Power Brit Awards
And finally, another entry by the masterminds at Paddy Power’s marketing team. Here, the powerhouse casino employed another great guerilla marketing tactic when everyone least expected it, at the Brit Awards of all places!
Paddy Power hired two Daft Punk lookalikes to attend the glamorous event. All dressed up in their Daft Punk threads, the two walked down the red carpet only to reveal their underwear, that was, of course, Paddy Power branded.
Sometimes a great ad can do wonders for a brand, regardless of the industry. These ads have proven to be not only entertaining but successful in garnering more punters to visit and join their platforms.
