Trent Lyall

I build acquisition channels for casino and sportsbook operators across Australia, New Zealand and Canada. I find the affiliates, streamers and creators who actually convert, and put them on deals that stay commercially sustainable for the operator.

Numbers

Results that held up

I judge acquisition by what it's worth to the operator, not by registrations. These are the figures from the businesses, teams and partnerships I worked on.

200+Active creators, streamers and partners, scaled from fewer than 10.
1.5-4.5KFTDs a month across strong periods, around 2,500 on average and over 4,000 in the best months.
$30MMonthly platform revenue at peak, up from $2M, across operations I helped scale.
$1.5-2.8MApproximate monthly profit from performance partnerships in strong periods.
15People led across marketing, partnerships, affiliates, creators and operations.

INTL

Europe · Nordics · AsiaThrough my network

International affiliates, influencers, streamers and traffic partners across tier 1 and tier 2 markets.

In Australia and New Zealand I don't start from scratch. I already know who operates in the market, what deals they expect and which creators genuinely convert.

Approach

Relationships first, data decides

I'm relationship-driven, but I let performance data decide where budget goes. I move quickly, test opportunities and scale what proves itself.

I don't judge acquisition by registration or FTD volume alone. The goal is traffic that's commercially sustainable for the operator, with partners who have enough upside to stay committed.

What I measure

  • FTDs
  • Deposit value
  • Redeposits
  • Conversion rate
  • CPA
  • NGR
  • Retention
  • Player LTV
  • Traffic quality
  • ROI

Roles I'm suited to

  • Head of Affiliates
  • Country Manager
  • Head of Influencer / KOL
  • Growth Lead
  • User Acquisition Lead
