Rewarded ads

Rewarded ads let you offer users in-app items—such as continued gameplay, virtual currency, or other rewards—in exchange for their engagement with ads. Rewarded ads boost engagement because users receive a tangible benefit for their time.

The following sections show you how to load and then show a rewarded ad.

Loading a rewarded ad

To load a rewarded ad, first get an instance of a MaxRewardedAd object that corresponds to your rewarded ad unit. Then call that object’s loadAd() method. Implement MaxRewardedAdListener so that you are notified when your ad is ready. This also notifies you of other ad-related events.

Showing a rewarded ad

To show a rewarded ad, call showAd( this ) on the MaxRewardedAd object you created.

Accessing the amount and currency for a rewarded ad

To access the reward amount and currency, override the onUserRewarded() callback:

S2S rewarded callbacks
