Ads

You can generate revenue from placing ad units in your games. To do this:

  1. Study the features and recommendations for placing ads.
  2. Set up ad calls using the SDK.
  3. Enable monetization in the Developer Console.

Interstitial ad

An ad block that completely covers the app and is shown between a user's request for some information (for example, when moving to the next game level) and receiving it.

You can show a fullscreen ad using the Show fullscreen ad action.

Rewarded video ads

Sticky banner

An ad unit that is displayed during the game.

For information on enabling the sticky banner in the Developer Console, see the main article.

By default, the sticky banner appears upon launch and remains visible throughout the entire session. To configure when the banner is shown:

  1. Under Sticky banners, enable the Use the API to display a sticky-banner option.
  2. Set up banner display using actions:
    • Show sticky banner
    • Hide sticky banner

For example, you can show a banner when the menu opens and hide it during gameplay.
