CPI

Page 10: Digging Down into Social Casino for 2016 | Raf Keustermans

$10 CPI – what it really means• With 30% platform fees, 3-7% technical costs, 1% chargeback -> Gross

LTV per use of $14 needed to break even

• Assuming 5% conversion to spenders -> avg LTV of $280 per spender (with 2% conversion -> $700 per spender). To break even.

• A game with very strong metrics, e.g. 40+% D1 retention, 15+% D30 retention, $0.30 ARPDAU… will struggle to pay back $10 in 12 months.
