Hello Karina, thanks for your explanation.

I am just curious how do you know which one is my account? B)

Very interesting - in screenshot I shared there is “Appodeal Marketplace (CPM)”, but today I see in console this is called “System Campaigns”! And it means that 66% of my rewarded video impressions and 90% of clicks now is just some system notices? That means in 66% cases there was no ad available from another network? Ha ha… And Appodeal is not going to pay for that! Despite that there was actual video ads as I described in my second post, and those ads was even worse than usual because it was impossible to close them after playback ends, they was forwarding to install page anyway… I recieved complaints and lost lot of users because of that ad - and that was just your experiments with free (for you) ads?

As I said, may games is reskins, with 1-2-3 week long life, and that means they majority of impressions are first impressions (first impressions has most value as you said). As I understand, Appodeal is using this traffic for some testing/tuning/Appodeal Marketplace etc stuff and after game is dead with no more traffic then Appodeal is ready to serve great ads! :rolleyes:
PS
I was not using any other monetization than Appodeal, but now in upcoming games I am not going to use Appodeal anymore (revenue from Appodeal mediated networks was less than 10% and all majority was Admob). Now I am using ad networks directly as your support recomended. 
Maybe other devs dont mind if part of their hard work is seemlesly slipping into Appodeal pockets, but I cant afford it, I have too small traffic for that… :wacko:
