Riding the UA gravy train
Facebook had 829 million daily active users during June, up 19 percent,
Of these, 654 million were on mobile devices, up 39 percent.
Underlining this breakdown, the majority of Facebook’s revenue - 57 percent - came from mobile advertising.
Facebook didn’t reveal how much of this comes specifically from mobile games, but anecdotal evidence suggests that thanks to its reach and precise targeting features, Facebook now takes over third of all the marketing dollars spent on mobile game user acquisition, particularly in North America and western Europe.
