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, get an instance of a MARewardedAd object that corresponds to your rewarded ad unit and then call its loadAd method. Implement MARewardedAdDelegate 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 on the MARewardedAd object you retrieved.

Accessing the amount and currency for a rewarded ad

To access the reward amount and currency, override the -[MARewardedAdDelegate didRewardUserForAd:withReward:] callback:

S2S rewarded callbacks

You can receive callbacks to your currency server. To learn how, see the MAX S2S rewarded callback API guide. Then update the Server Side Callback URL in your Edit Ad Unit page.

Setting the amount and currency for a rewarded ad

To set the reward amount and currency:

1. Click Add S2S Reward Callback in your Edit Ad Unit page:
2. Add the Server Side Callback URL, Reward Amount, and Rewarded Currency Name:

To prevent rewarded ad audio from interfering with your app’s background audio, AppLovin recommends that you stop your app’s background audio before you show an ad. You can then resume your app’s background audio after you hide the ad.
