Rewarded Video Ads

Rewarded ad units enable users to play games, take surveys, or watch videos to earn in-app rewards, such as coins, extra lives, or points. You can set different rewards for different ad units, and specify the reward values and items users will receive.

Benefits of Rewarded Video Ads

• Increase revenue, Rewarded video ads can increase your app revenue by 20% to 40%. eCPM for rewarded videos is the highest when compared to other types of mobile video ads.
• Increase in-app purchases, Rewarded video ads encourage free users to make in-app purchases by giving them a taste of premium features they’re missing. Users who watch rewarded video ads are six times more likely to make in-app purchases.
• Increase user engagement and retention, Users prefer watching reward video ads to paying for premium features. This encourages them to continue playing your game for longer, which in turn increases retention, engagement, and LTV.

Load the ad

Unity

Yodo1U3dRewardAd.GetInstance().LoadAd();

Java

Yodo1MasRewardAd.getInstance().loadAd(MainActivity.this);

Kotlin

Yodo1MasRewardAd.getInstance().loadAd(this@MainActivity)

Swift

Yodo1MasRewardAd.sharedInstance().load()

Objective-C

[[Yodo1MasRewardAd sharedInstance] loadAd];

Godot

// Rewarded video ads are displayed automatically

Flutter

// no need to load in flutter

Cocos2D

Yodo1Ads.getInstance().initializeRewardAds();

Setup the auto delay load

Loading a new ad from OnAdLoadFailedEvent() without delay is not recommended. If a new ad has to be loaded immediately on OnAdLoadFailedEvent(), then the auto-delay configuration variable must be set to true to limit ad load retries, thus avoiding continuous failed ad requests and ANR issues.

Unity

// Remember to call this function before SDK init.
Yodo1U3dRewardAd.GetInstance().autoDelayIfLoadFail = true;

Java

// Remember to call this function before SDK init.
Yodo1MasRewardAd.getInstance().autoDelayIfLoadFail = true;

Kotlin

// Remember to call this function before SDK init.
Yodo1MasRewardAd.getInstance().autoDelayIfLoadFail = true

Swift

// Remember to call this function before SDK init.
Yodo1MasRewardAd.sharedInstance().autoDelayIfLoadFail = true

Objective-C

// Remember to call this function before SDK init.
[Yodo1MasRewardAd sharedInstance].autoDelayIfLoadFail = YES;

Godot

// No need to configure on Godot

Display the ad

You can show the ad using this code, but we recommend using the ad events as you’ll be able to show the ad once it’s loaded. You can check the full script provided below.

Unity

bool isLoaded = Yodo1U3dRewardAd.GetInstance().IsLoaded();

// Show ad without placement name
if (isLoaded)
{
    Yodo1U3dRewardAd.GetInstance().ShowAd();
}

// Show ad with placement name, like app_start, level_end
if (isLoaded)
{
    Yodo1U3dRewardAd.GetInstance().ShowAd("Your placement id");
}

Java

boolean isLoaded = Yodo1MasRewardAd.getInstance().isLoaded();

// Show ad without placement name
if (isLoaded) Yodo1MasRewardAd.getInstance().showAd(this);

// Show ad with placement name, like app_start, level_end
if (isLoaded) Yodo1MasRewardAd.getInstance().showAd(this, "Your placement id");

Kotlin

val isLoaded = Yodo1MasRewardAd.getInstance().isLoaded()

// Show ad without placement name
if (isLoaded) Yodo1MasRewardAd.getInstance().showAd(this@MainActivity)

// Show ad with placement name, like app_start, level_end
if (isLoaded) Yodo1MasRewardAd.getInstance().showAd(this@MainActivity, "Your placement id")

Swift

let isLoaded = Yodo1MasRewardAd.sharedInstance().isLoaded()

// Show ad without placement name
if isLoaded { Yodo1MasRewardAd.sharedInstance().show() }

// Show ad with placement name, like app_start, level_end
if isLoaded { Yodo1MasRewardAd.sharedInstance().show(withPlacement: "Your placement id") }

Objective-C

BOOL isLoaded = [[Yodo1MasRewardAd sharedInstance] isLoaded];

// Show ad without placement name
if (isLoaded) [[Yodo1MasRewardAd sharedInstance] showAd];

// Show ad with placement name, like app_start, level_end
if (isLoaded) [[Yodo1MasRewardAd sharedInstance] showAdWithPlacement:@"Your placement id"];

Godot

yodo1mas.show_rewarded_ad()

Flutter

Yodo1MAS.instance.showRewardAd();

Cocos2D

Yodo1Ads.getInstance().showRewardAds();

Configure the ad events

The MAS SDK fires several events to inform you of ad availability.

Best Practices

1. Preload

We recommend that you preload the rewarded video ad before showing it. This will ensure the ad is ready to be displayed when needed.

2. Placement

We recommend setting the placement name when you show the ad. This will help you track each placement's performance in the dashboard.

3. Handle Failures

If the ad fails to load, you should NOT try to reload immediately. Instead, it would be best if you waited a while before reloading the ad again. We recommend waiting at least 10 seconds before trying to fill the ad.
