Case Study: CapeMedia.io Scales Their Affiliate Growth in the US Market with Routy

Background

CapeMedia.io is a leading US-based affiliate business operating exclusively within the highly regulated American iGaming market. With a firm commitment to compliance, the company focuses on driving traffic and conversions for major operators such as BetMGM, Caesars, and FanDuel. However, in an industry where robust data access is often limited, tracking and optimizing affiliate performance presented significant challenges.

The Problem

Despite working with some of the biggest names in the industry, CapeMedia.io faced a major roadblock: tracking and business intelligence in the US market were severely lacking. While one might assume that major operators would offer top-tier tracking solutions, the reality was quite the opposite. Many operators provided minimal data access, lacked click-level tracking, and relied on outdated reporting systems.

The team at CapeMedia.io needed a flexible, reliable solution that could:

• Aggregate and centralize tracking data from multiple operators.
• Provide real-time insights into performance metrics.
• Enable click-level tracking where possible.
• Offer automation for reporting and partner management.
• Work around limitations in operator tracking while maintaining compliance.

The Solution

Routy provided CapeMedia.io team with an advanced affiliate tracking solution that seamlessly integrated with their existing infrastructure. Unlike static tracking solutions, Routy became an extension of their team, offering:

1. Automated Data Aggregation & Reporting

With Routy, CapeMedia.io was able to automate tracking data collection across various operators, including those with poor reporting tools like Caesars. Even in cases where manual data uploads were required, Routy allowed CapeMedia.io to integrate conversions into its system and match them with digital footprints for accurate reporting.

2. Granular Click-Level Tracking

When operators permitted click-level tracking, Routy seamlessly plugged in via APIs or postbacks. This allowed CapeMedia.io to:

• Track and optimize on a per-article, per-user, and per-click basis.
• Understand conversion timing and user behavior down to the most granular level.
• Attribute sign-ups and deposits that occurred weeks or months after the initial click.

3. Partner-Level Reporting Dashboard

A game-changer for CapeMedia.io was Routy’s ability to create a custom dashboard for their publishing partners. Instead of relying on static Excel reports, partners could log in to their own dashboard within Routy to view their performance data. This feature effectively transformed Routy into a mini affiliate network, streamlining the reporting process and reducing the need for manual partner communication.

4. Integration with Paid Media Channels

Although CapeMedia.io’s primary focus isn’t on PPC, Routy’s ability to feed conversion data back into Google Ads was a major advantage. This ensured that conversions were recognized by Google’s machine-learning algorithms, optimizing campaign performance.

5. Webhooks for Seamless Partner Communication

By leveraging Routy’s webhook capabilities, CapeMedia.io automated conversion data sharing with its partners. Previously, reporting to partners required extensive manual work. With webhooks in place, conversions were instantly sent to partner BI teams, eliminating unnecessary labor and streamlining the optimization process.

6. On-Site Tracking for First-Party Data

By implementing Routy’s tracking code on their own affiliate websites, CapeMedia.io gained unprecedented visibility into performance at the page level. They could now identify which pages were driving the highest conversions, optimize content placement, and refine their strategies based on real-time data.

“Routy is a game-changer for affiliates who want to scale. No more guessing—just actionable data that drives real results.”

The Outcome

Implementing Routy transformed CapeMedia.io’s approach to tracking and reporting, delivering the following key benefits:

• Reduced Manual Reporting Workload: Routy’s automation features saved the equivalent of one full-time employee’s workload per month, reducing operational costs and freeing up resources for strategic growth.
• Improved Conversion Attribution: With click-level tracking and long-term attribution, CapeMedia.io gained deeper insights into user behavior and conversion patterns.
• Faster Optimization & Scaling: Real-time data allowed them to make rapid adjustments, optimizing their content and ad placements for maximum ROI.
• Enhanced Partner Relationships: The custom dashboard and webhooks eliminated the friction of manual reporting, allowing partners to access their performance data instantly.
• Seamless Integration with Paid Media: By feeding conversion data back into Google Ads, CapeMedia.io ensured better optimization and higher ad efficiency.
