This cost is very high, you should check your content and goals again.

With $120 spent and only $5 in deposits, your conversion rate is very low (about 1.67%). You should improvements are needed in targeting, ad content, or landing page optimization.

You should stop it and create a new ad.

Factors that cause low rates:
Factors Common problems
Inaccurate targeting Targeting the wrong area (poor, young, unable to recharge)
Landing page is not trustworthy Suspected of being a scam, hard-to-read font, no chat support
Bad mobile UI / slow loading Cloaking then leads to heavy LP, 3-5s delay is 80% traffic loss
Indian user psychology Be more careful when recharging, need to remarket many times
No remarketing or lead warming India needs to nurture longer than other markets like TH, PH

Running gambling campaigns in India isn't like running in in other SEA nations.
My clients had very little success with Meta gambling ads in India. They told me that they mostly convert by hiring local salesman, ambassador by giving them commission in offline world, mouth to word.

Last quarter, my similar campaigns had an average return of $15 to $25 per $100 ad spend. If you're getting only $5, something's wrong—perhaps poor prelanders or too much bot traffic bypassing the cloaker.

Your conversion rate is very low, only 1.67%. I suggest you need to improve your ads or targeting to attract more customers. It is not easy to run gambling ads in India due to regulations, so make sure you are following all the rules.

The conversion you're seeing (2 deposits for $120 spent, or roughly a 4% ROI on deposits vs. ad spend) is quite low even for gambling ads.
For a well-crafted gambling ad targeting India (with no cloaking issues, optimized landing pages, and solid offers), you’d typically see first-time deposit conversion rates of around 0.5% to 2% of visitors, depending on traffic quality. ROI at the start is usually negative, and profit relies heavily on player retention (repeat deposits).

With a cost of $120 and only $5 in return from 2 FTDs, the conversion rate is lower than average, but it can still happen if the funnel is not optimized, the cloaking is not clean, or the targeting is not accurate. In reality, in this niche, the click-to-reg rate usually fluctuates between 10-25%, and the reg-to-FTD is around 5-15% depending on the offer and traffic. If the creative is not convincing enough, the prelander is weak, or there is junk traffic (fake clicks, not interested in the product), the results will be very difficult to scale. You should monitor a few more rounds of testing, adjust in small steps to determine the cause and gradually improve performance.

Your conversation rate seems low- try testing new ad creatives and traffic sources. Good campaigns in India often see 1-3% deposit rates.

There will be many factors that affect your advertising costs your content, images, and there are times when meta scans your advertising costs will also be expensive.
