Tips for affiliates
For Czech Republic (Tier-1 GEO), expect high CPMs ($8-15 on Facebook) but strong conversion rates. Target affluent audiences with premium offers — Finance, Crypto, and high-stakes Gambling convert best. Gambling is legal in Czech Republic — work only with licensed operators to avoid compliance issues. Check the local regulator's website for approved brands before promoting.
Mobile dominates in Czech Republic (80.0% penetration) — use mobile-first landing pages, vertical video creatives, and in-app placements. Load times under 2 seconds are critical. Editor's hack: Gambling, E-commerce, Nutra are the top-converting verticals for Czech Republic. Start with a broad test ($50-100/day), identify the winning creative-angle combo, then scale the winner 3x.
Use dayparting — 19:00-22:00 local time (evening peak) is peak engagement. Payment integration is key: PayPal are the preferred methods in Czech Republic. Ensure your funnel supports at least 2 of these — abandoned deposits from missing payment options can cost 20-30% of conversions.
