Mintegral has announced its Pakistan Gaming Growth Program for 2025, designed to empower local game developers with expert insights and practical tools. The program covers key areas including user acquisition, monetization, and attribution solutions, with Mintegral specialists visiting companies to tailor advice. Eligibility requires studios to be in Pakistan, currently use Mintegral's Monetization service, and be willing to participate in training and workshops.
A key incentive allows studios to sign up for a year-long Solar Engine subscription while already using Mintegral Monetization, unlocking an initial $10,000 credit line and free attribution from Solar Engine. Applications are open until January 31, 2025. Additionally, the article includes latest insights on early metrics, entertainment app growth, and CPI vs.
ROAS optimization, providing broader context for long-term performance and campaign success.
Mintegral's retargeting platform re-engages dormant users via CPI, CPE, and ROAS bidding models. Key insights: retargeted users convert 50% more often than first-time visitors and are 3x more likely to engage, with over 50% completing actions within a week. The platform supports both gaming and non-gaming apps, offers 60%+ match rate, and integrates seamlessly with UA campaigns for lifecycle optimization.
The mobile advertising industry is optimistic heading into 2025, with 80% of marketers expecting the year to be as strong or stronger than 2024. Non-gaming apps are driving growth, with downloads up 12% YoY and IAP revenue increasing 20%+. Marketers are prioritizing profitability and ROAS, with over half reporting more aggressive KPIs. Generative AI is already benefiting creative production and optimization. iOS re-engagement remains underleveraged, and most marketers are still adapting to SKAN. Budgets are increasing, with a focus on ad networks and self-attributing networks.
Retargeting complements user acquisition by re-engaging churned users, boosting conversion rates by 150% and ROI by 1,046%. Despite its benefits, many teams separate UA and retargeting due to resource constraints, missing out on sustained growth. Mintegral offers cost-per-event retargeting with AI-driven optimization, enabling unified campaigns that maximize long-term user value and app success.

Puzzle and match 3 games remain a profitable segment, with 9.7 billion downloads in 2024 and 14% YoY IAP revenue growth. Key opportunities lie in LATAM and MENA, where session growth is high. Rising CPI and CPM emphasize the need for efficient UA. Incrementality testing and predictive LTV are critical for optimizing ad spend, ensuring budgets target high-value users. Adjust's tools—Measure, InSight, and Recommend—provide attribution, incrementality testing, and pLTV modeling to maximize ROI.
Hybrid monetization (IAP + IAA) is crucial for non-gaming apps, with 45.5% of hybrid app downloads coming from subscriptions+IAP+IAA combos. IAP-driven apps, like mini-series, saw IAA revenue increase 40x by adding rewarded ads. Best practices: segment users, design incentives, and use in-app bidding for higher efficiency (up to 60% revenue lift). AI-powered platforms optimize bids and placements, balancing user experience and monetization.
Preload campaigns are critical for UA in 2025, offering early brand presence, higher trust, and cost-efficient growth. Key benefits include increased visibility, engagement, and LTV. Practitioners should leverage advanced segmentation, automated recommendations, predictive analytics, extended attribution windows, and incrementality testing. Partnerships with OEMs and platforms like Appnext, Aura, AVOW, Digital Turbine, and InMobi can drive significant results, as seen with Magalu's 100k+ monthly installs and 4x ROAS.
Scaling a gaming app to 1 million users requires AI-driven user acquisition with personalized creatives and playable ads, cross-platform storytelling, and influencer collaborations. Retention relies on adaptive content, community building, localization, and deep linking for seamless re-engagement. Hybrid monetization combining IAP, subscriptions, and ads with dynamic pricing optimizes revenue. Advanced analytics and predictive insights enable real-time campaign optimization. Decision-makers should prioritize AI and machine learning for UA and retention, implement deep linking for frictionless user journeys, and leverage data-driven monetization strategies to sustainably scale and retain a large player base.
