TikToβk is a powerful platform for branding, viral content, and mass reach.
But if you work with verticals like iGaming, betting, finance, utilities, sweepstakes, adult, youβll eventually run into strict moderation β or even sudden bans.
RiverTraffic avoids these limitations by offering direct-buy traffic, predictable delivery, and formats designed for fast performance across many GEOs.
π₯ Why RiverTraffic Can Deliver Better ROI Than TikTok Ads
1οΈβ£ Fewer restrictions on verticals
TikTok severely limits or blocks many categories:
betting & iGaming
finance lead-gen
sweepstakes & βgrayβ offers
adult themes
RiverTraffic, on the other hand, supports a wide set of verticals and GEOs thβat TikTok simply does not allow.
π₯ Important clarification:
TikTok allows advanced targeting options like age, gender, and interests.
RiverTraffic does NOT support age or gender targeting β our formats use device-based and GEO-based targeting only.
2οΈβ£ Stable, transparent pricing
TikTok operates on an auction model:
rising competition = higher CPM
Q4 season = budget spikes
algorithm shifts = unstable results
RiverTraffic offers stable, predictable pricing, without auction jumps or seasonal surges.
3οΈβ£ Formats built for performance
RiverTraffic does not require expensive video production.
Available formats:
- Push
In-Page Push
Popunder
Video Pre-Roll
All are optimized for CRO-driven campaigns where speed and scale matter.
4οΈβ£ No random bans or moderation loops
On TikTok:
β creatives often fail moderation
β accounts can be banned without explanation
β re-approvals take time
On RiverTraffic:
β
no unexpected bans
β
no moderation loops
β
stable traffic delivery
You run the ads β we ensure the traffic flow.
