Arbitrage on Facebook always feels like a survival game: accounts get banned, creatives fail moderation, and budgets burn before a combo shows results. This is especially true in the mobile verticals of gambling, nutra, and dating. Competition is insane, and the platform’s rules strictly cut anything that even slightly falls outside the elusive boundaries of what’s allowed.
And yet, these niches deliver some of the biggest profits. The question is how to bypass limitations, avoid pouring the entire budget into tests, and launch a campaign that lives longer than a day.
In this article, we’ll break down what works for each of the three verticals and which tricks help media buyers stay afloat amid constant blocks.
Facebook & Gambling: The Art of Camouflage
Facebook regulates gambling among the strictest. Official casino ads are only possible with a license and Meta authorization, which is unrealistic for most arbitrage teams. In practice you operate in a “gray zone”: moderation instantly cuts direct mentions of “casino,” “bets,” or promises of easy money.
Strict age restrictions and even hints at money raise suspicion. All this makes gambling the Facebook ad vertical where mistakes are especially costly.
Creatives and Their Adaptation
The key task in gambling is to build a creative that passes moderation and still makes users want to click.
What remains effective are veiled approaches that emphasize emotions rather than money. Tactics that help:
- focus on thrill and drive — show moments of choice or victory;
- visuals with cards, roulette, or gaming symbols, but without the word “casino”;
- soft CTAs like “try it now”;
- video creatives — motion holds attention and boosts CTR.
Instead of lifting a ready-made creative from a spy tool, it’s better to customize it or build from scratch. That reduces ban risk and gives you an edge.
Offer Camouflage Tools
Even the most careful creative won’t save you if it leads directly to the offer. Gambling requires technical solutions:
- pre-landers with neutral content (e.g., an article or quiz);
- PWA or WebView apps that show a “white” interface to moderation and the real offer to users;
- cloaking that filters traffic and swaps content.
These tools extend a combo’s lifespan but require careful setup and regular updates.
Testing and Launch
To test hypotheses with less risk, gambling commonly uses small starter campaigns. A popular scheme is 1 campaign / 1 ad set / 3 creatives.
Test budget is tied to the offer’s payout:
if you get $100 for the first deposit, allocate $200–300 to validate the combo.
What to watch:
- CTR and CPC — reflect creative strength;
- conversions “unique → registration” and “registration → deposit”;
- the main success indicator — FTD (first-time deposits).
Nutra on Facebook: Sell Health Without Miracle Claims
Nutra looks “whiter” than gambling, but moderation is no less strict. Any mention like “cures,” “eliminates,” or “miracle remedy” gets you banned. Facebook is particularly sensitive to health and appearance, so show the product gently, avoid overpromises and prohibited phrasing.
Approaches to Creative Production
Nutra creatives should look as native as possible:
- success stories — a mini case-style testimonial;
- before/after visuals, but without harsh contrasts;
- social proof — expert quotes, ratings;
- audience pain — tiredness, excess weight, low energy (avoid words like “disease” or “diagnosis”).
Facebook checks not only text but imagery — even a hint at a medical instrument can trigger rejection.
Hiding Sensitive Offers
To pass moderation, buyers use:
- white pre-landers as articles (“5 habits that help you lose weight”), with the product embedded natively;
- cloaking — show a helpful blog to moderators and a landing page to users;
- PWA/WebView apps for mobile traffic.
These methods mask sensitive offers and extend campaign life.
Testing and Launch
Same logic as gambling: start with simple structures and small budgets.
Optimal validation scheme — 1-1-1 (one campaign, one ad set, one creative).
If registrations are stable, scale to 1-3-1 or add accounts.
Track CPC, CTR, CR (click → lead → approval).
Dating: Sell the Dream of Love Without Bans
In dating, everything revolves around emotions. Users come for attention and communication — which makes the vertical delicate: a slight overstep and Facebook flags the ad as explicit. You must work subtly: show “communication” instead of “dates,” “new connections” instead of “romance.”
Creatives for Dating
Top performers look like everyday digital interactions:
- photos of regular people, as if from a profile;
- screenshots of chats or notifications (“you’ve got a message”);
- references to the city/region for easy recognition;
- light emotional triggers (“new people nearby,” “3 people want to chat with you”).
The goal is not to promise love, but to nudge the first step — registration and starting a conversation.
Hiding the Offer from Moderation
To avoid instant bans, use “white” pre-landers: quizzes (“who matches your personality?”), short tests, or tips for meeting people.
Users click for fun and land on the offer.
For mobile traffic, WebView apps with cloaking are also common — this extends campaign life.
Testing and Launch
At the start, basic gender and age targeting is enough — let the algorithm work broadly.
Popular testing schemes — 1-3-1 or 1-5-1, with emphasis on creatives.
Budget depends on GEO:
- Tier-1 (US, Canada) — $300–500;
- Tier-2/3 — $100–150.
Key metric is CTR + registration. If clicks are high but registrations are low, the weak link is the pre-lander or the offer.
How to Survive Bans and Stay in the Game
Bans are inevitable, so the core skill is bouncing back fast: spare accounts and cards, antidetect + proxies, warmed profiles, and campaign duplicates.
Together with cloaking, these measures won’t eliminate bans forever, but they’ll keep the process stable.
Gambling
Most bans come from sharp ramp-ups and aggressive creatives. A working tactic is gradual budget increase and parallel duplicates that switch on if the main ad set drops.
Nutra
The main problem is copy. A single “miracle” or “cures” — and the campaign is gone. Package the offer as stories — testimonials, expert advice, blog notes.
Dating
User complaints about “too explicit” creatives are common. Solutions: light, ironic creatives, localization (“meet people nearby”), and frequent visual refresh.
Here stability = freshness of presentation.
Conclusion
Facebook arbitrage is a nerve-racking game where rules change faster than you can hit “start.” But this is where the most profitable combos are born.
There’s no universal recipe for gambling, nutra, and dating, yet there are principles: cautious launch, smart offer packaging, and bypassing the system with finesse rather than brute force.
AI tools speed up the work: generate creatives for different GEOs, write copy without triggers, analyze ban logic. In the hands of buyers who aren’t afraid to experiment, AI is not a gimmick — it’s a weapon.
Which means Facebook arbitrage has a future — even if moderation seems one step ahead.
