Game Overseas Promotion Playbook: How Number Screening Systems Achieve Batch Precision Customer Acquisition? (Including 007data, thdata Comparison)

Mobile game overseas teams often fall into a misconception: blasting with massive numbers like a “net-casting” approach, believing the larger the coverage, the higher the conversion. In reality, a large number of numbers on Telegram and WhatsApp are already abandoned or users have long churned. Number screening systems can help you precisely locate active players from millions of numbers, boosting response rates from 0.5% to over 10%. This Playbook covers pain point analysis to five-step practical implementation, combined with an objective comparison of 007data, thdata, and KK-DATA, to help you avoid ineffective budgets.

Common Challenges in Game Overseas Promotion: Three Pain Points of Undifferentiated Customer Acquisition

Overseas Communities Seem Bustling, but Less than 20% of Users Are Truly Active

According to public industry whitepapers (e.g., Adjust 2023 Mobile App Trends Report), the global average active rate within 30 days after mobile game installation is only 30%–40%. On Telegram channels, due to long-term inactivity, device changes, or account dormancy, the truly reachable active rate is even lower. If you directly broadcast 1 million generic numbers, up to 800,000 could be sent to “ghost accounts”—not only zero replies but also likely to trigger platform complaints, leading to account restrictions.

Mismatched Gender and Language: Male-oriented Games Encountering Female Users, ROI Drops by 50%

Suppose you promote a heavy SLG (strategy war game) targeting male players. Broadcasting unscreened numbers with a high proportion of female users will likely result in ignoring or complaints. Conversely, casual social games or female-oriented games sent to male users face similarly poor conversions. Through number screening system gender identification (avatar AI judgment), you can precisely match promotional packages to players of the corresponding gender, avoiding wasted traffic. According to public test data, correct gender matching can increase first-time installation rates by 2–3 times.

Complaint Risk and Cost Black Hole of Undifferentiated Broadcasting

Most overseas teams use multi-instance emulators or broadcasting tools. Once the number database contains many deactivated or non-target users, the broadcasting behavior will be flagged as spam by Telegram/WhatsApp, resulting in at least a 24-hour mute or even account bans. At the same time, each broadcast consumes IP resources, time costs, and number balances. Screening acts as a “filter”—retaining only high-probability targets, reducing ineffective sending.

Mobile Game Overseas “Screening → Operation” Five-Step Method: From Number Generation to User Recall

Step 1: Targeted Generation of Mobile Number Prefixes for Key Game Promotion Regions

Open the KK-DATA console and go to the “Number Generation” module. You can randomly generate numbers by country (e.g., Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Brazil) or upload custom prefix CSV files. Generation is free, and you take only what you need.

Practical Advice: First select 2–3 high-potential markets, generate 50,000–100,000 numbers per market; avoid generating large quantities of unverified numbers at once—subsequent screening is charged per number, saving your balance.

Step 2: Batch Detect Telegram Registration, Activity, and Gender

Upload the generated numbers to a “Screening Task”. In the platform, select “Telegram Screening”, then check:

• Telegram registered (Check if registered on Telegram)
• Telegram valid (Confirm number can send/receive messages normally)
• Telegram active (Recommended to set online behavior within the last 30 days)
• Telegram Gender Identification (Avatar AI judgment)

After submitting the task, the platform will display an estimated deduction amount. Confirm to start screening. After completion, export results as CSV/TXT.

Step 3: Fine Grouping Based on Player Profiles, Deliver Differentiated Packages

Screening results contain each number’s activity status and gender label. Group accordingly:

• High-activity male: Promote heavy SLG, MMO invitations, with first-recharge gift packs
• High-activity female: Promote casual, simulation management games, emphasizing social interaction
• Low-activity/silent users: Don’t promote directly; reserve for user recall phase (see below)
• Unidentified gender numbers: Group into neutral category, deliver generic ads or re-screening

Using these groupings, you can tailor messaging and creatives for different profiles, significantly increasing click-through rates.

User Recall Scenario: How Screening Systems “Reactivate” Silent Players

Screen “Still Online within 3 Months” from Previous Seed Users

Many mobile game teams have historical seed user numbers (e.g., old players who installed but never returned). Direct blasting with reminders often yields poor results—because many numbers have expired. It’s recommended to first run a “wake-up screening” with the screening system:

1. Import historical user numbers into KK-DATA’s deduplication warehouse to avoid duplicates with already-screened numbers.
2. Create a screening task, check TG valid + TG active (last 30 days).
3. Export numbers with “online behavior within the last 30 days”.
4. Send update notifications, return gift pack links, and exclusive community invitations to these numbers.

This strategy can reduce user recall costs by over 60%, because you’re targeting “reachable people with recent usage habits” rather than searching for a needle in a haystack.

Competitor Comparison: 007data, thdata, and KK-DATA—Which Suits Game Teams Better?

The table below is compiled based on public information from each platform’s console, focusing on dimensions most relevant to game promotion. Actual functions are subject to each platform’s latest version.

Dimension	007data	thdata	KK-DATA
Pricing Model	Subscription + Pay-per-use	Subscription + Pay-per-use	Pure pay-per-use, no subscription barrier
Minimum Top-up	Approximately 100 USDT	Approximately 50 USDT	Minimum 50 USDT
Gender Identification	Supported on some platforms (needs confirmation)	Publicly not supported	Supports Telegram gender identification (avatar AI)
tgid Export	Not disclosed	Not disclosed	Supports tgid export
Custom Activity Period	Fixed 7/30 days	Only offers “Active” toggle	Supports 7/15/30 days options
Deduplication Warehouse	Not disclosed	Some versions have	Supports cross-task deduplication warehouse
Task Notification	None	None	Supports Telegram task completion notification

Pricing Model Differences: No Plans vs. Subscription, How Game Studios Choose

Game promotion teams are often project-based, with obvious off-peak seasons. Subscription means fixed monthly spending, even if no tasks are performed that month. KK-DATA’s pure pay-per-use allows studios to flexibly control budgets: no spending during off-season, recharge for actual detection volume in peak season, not tied to monthly plans. Especially friendly for small teams and independent developers.

Data Dimension and Export Flexibility Comparison

Game player profiles require activity, gender, tgid, etc. 007data and thdata mainly provide registration/validity detection; gender identification and tgid export are not standard. KK-DATA’s TG screening supports custom activity, gender AI identification, and tgid export—three features critical for game teams to do user segmentation and targeted follow-up.

Console and Task Management Experience

KK-DATA’s console supports parallel task submission, and sends Telegram notifications when each task completes. For promotion teams processing hundreds of thousands of numbers daily, there’s no need to frequently log into the web page to check progress. Additionally, the deduplication warehouse avoids duplicate number detection charges—saving significant balance when importing historical databases in batches.

Three Key Points for Project Implementation: Balance Planning, Task Notifications, Data Deduplication

Three practical suggestions to avoid pitfalls:

1. Balance Planning: First estimate the number demand for target markets, calculate total budget based on per-number detection fee (see console real-time prices). Don’t top up too much at once, and don’t wait until balance hits zero—reserve 20% balance for temporary additional tasks.
2. Task Notifications: Enable Telegram notifications in the console. You’ll receive a result link immediately upon task completion, avoiding repeated logins. Especially useful when multiple tasks run in parallel.
3. Data Deduplication: Before submitting each new task, first import historically screened numbers into the deduplication warehouse. The platform will automatically filter duplicates, no charge. After several rounds of screening, deduplication can save 15%–30% of balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is a number screening system really useful for game promotion? Could it be a waste of money?
A: Useful, but only if you have a clear buyer persona (country/gender/activity) and corresponding messaging. The screening system transforms 1 million “unknown numbers” into “100,000 high-probability targets”, boosting broadcast response rates from 0.5% to 5%–10%, significantly improving ROI. Real waste is undifferentiated broadcasting; screening actually saves budget.

Q: Do 007data and thdata support gender identification? How do they compare with KK-DATA?
A: Please refer to each platform’s console real-time features. KK-DATA currently supports Telegram gender identification (avatar AI) and tgid export; 007data has gender identification in some versions but requires subscription to advanced plans; thdata hasn’t publicly disclosed this capability. It’s recommended to register trial accounts on each platform and test to decide which fits your game promotion scenario.

Q: Which country or region should game overseas promotion start testing?
A: Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand), Middle East (Saudi Arabia, UAE), Latin America (Brazil, Mexico) are high-density Telegram user regions. Mobile game users in these areas have high activity and number costs are relatively low. Start by generating 5,000–10,000 numbers per country, test the screening system, verify response rates, then scale up to hundreds of thousands.

Q: Can screened numbers be directly used for Telegram broadcasting? Will I be banned?
A: Screening only addresses whether numbers are active and gender—it does not solve risk control. Broadcasting still requires frequency control (no more than 30 messages per line per hour), clean IPs, and message disguise (avoid high template similarity). For high-value numbers, consider a hybrid approach: manual + tools to reduce ban risk.

Q: With a limited budget, should I prioritize detecting “registered” or “active”?
A: Priority on “registered” is basic, but it’s better to directly test “active” (7 or 30 days). Registered numbers may be expired or users long gone; activity detection costs more but yields higher ROI. Start with a small batch (10,000 numbers) to test activity, confirm conversion rate, then decide whether to expand.
