Igaming ads in asia 2026

We have been running meta ads for a couple of years now in the igaming and casino sector, now we are trying to enter the asian market, starting with Malaysia and Indonesia. Any advice on how to tackle the market and how to avoid restrictions and fast bans from meta ?

Running meta ads in the igaming and casino sector are not bad but trying to enter the Asian market might need little tricks to get it run successful without getting banned so i will recommend you cloak it

Thailand market for casino work great

Cloaking is basic prep but for ID and MY you really need to look at the funnel. sending traffic straight to a landing page even with a good cloaker is going to burn accounts fast. most guys running there are doing click to whatsapp or telegram ads. meta is a bit softer on those and the conversion happens in the chat anyway. also forget about using your own ad accounts... you need to rent agency accounts from VN or China sellers so you get fast replacements when the ban wave hits. for creatives just show local deposit methods like Dana, OVO or Touch n Go, they convert way better than generic casino stuff.

Since you’ve been running in this niche for many years, I’d expect you to have the experience and ability to handle meta account bans yourself, right? After all, igaming and casino advertising is considered a restricted category by meta regardless of the market you’re targeting, so account bans are an inherent risk when operating in this niche

Only in Southeast Asia But the competition is still fierce.
