CPA, over 12 months€30,000.00
RevShare, over 12 months€84,000.00

What the break-even leaves out

It assumes you can wait for the revenue share and that you know your retention. If you buy media, the share pays out months after you have paid for the traffic, and on a new casino the first months are how you learn retention. Where losses carry forward, the real break-even can be later still.

Common questions

How long your players actually keep playing, measured on your own traffic. If they usually stay longer than the break-even, the revenue share pays more; if not, the CPA does. On a new casino you will not know yet, so try a short and a long horizon.

No, this tool compares a pure CPA with a pure revenue share. The earnings calculator prices CPA, RevShare and hybrid from the same funnel.
