I run a gaming website and want to add rewarded ads so users can watch an ad to get some in-game coins. Anyone know how to set this up?

Do I need to use Google’s H5 games for rewarded ads? Or can any approved website add them?

But do I need AdX to set this up? That’s what I’m most unsure about.

Nope, you don’t need AdX for this.

Thanks! But any chance you could explain how to do it with just AdSense and Google Ad Manager?

Hey there! Here’s a basic guide to get rewarded ads going:

  1. Set up in Google Ad Manager (GAM): Start by setting up the line items for rewarded ads in GAM.

  2. On-page ad management code: You’ll need code on your site to manage the ads, like showing a creative when an ad is filled and handling what happens after a user watches the ad.

  3. User interaction: Make a test page with a button (for example, a ‘Get Coins’ button) that loads an ad. If the ad is available, the user watches it and then gets redirected to a reward page. If no ad shows, it just skips to the reward page.

  4. Customization: You may need a developer to tweak the code for your specific site needs.

  5. Reward delivery: Make sure users get their coins or other rewards right after watching the ad. You can have a message like, ‘Watch this ad to earn 100 coins.’

  6. Ad placement: Think about where to put the ads so they don’t disrupt gameplay. Maybe after a level is completed.

  7. Follow Google’s guidelines: Make sure you’re following Google’s rules, like no misleading info about the ads.

You don’t absolutely need AdX for rewarded ads on your site. You can use options like Google Ad Manager, Google Mobile Ads SDK, or mediation networks to serve rewarded ads. AdX is one way, but not the only way!
