Hey guys, i just started to display rewarded ads in my game but these are 60s ads and thats way to long.
Is there a way to limit it to just display 30s ads?

Im using the admob plugin.

Thanks

I think that on the Admob website in your account settings there is an option for ads that you can customize between 30 and 150 seconds.

Yeah thats what i was hoping to find but when im in the ad settings of each ad, i cant find any option for this :confused:
Maybe someone can tell me where to find it.

It used to be that way, but those controls seem to be gone now. (At least I can’t find them anymore.)

I got some complaints from players about the 60-second ads, so I wrote to AdMob and asked how I could limit the reward videos to 30 seconds, like they used to be, and they told me it was not possible to opt out of the 60-second ads.

The good news is that the complaints stopped coming, so I guess everyone just accepts it now. :man_shrugging:

The thing is, when users are willing to watch an ad to get something of it, thats a win/win for all and the eCPM of an 60s Ad is very high (my current eCPM is 24$).
So maybe its a good thing :smiley:

As if instant Karma, not an hour after writing that players had stopped complaining about the 60-second ads, I got an angry email about them. :rofl:

I wish my AdMob rewarded eCPM was still above $20- it’s gone down by half over the course of the past six months.

May I ask in which countries you are getting 20$ and 24$ eCPM with Admob?

I used to get $20 for rewarded ads in America, but not any more.

(NOTE: We’re talking specifically about the eCPM for rewarded videos, not for interstitials or banners or the blended eCPM you see on the main dashboard.)

Thank you!

I have much much lower eCPMs for rewarded videos.
Even $10 sounds huge to me.
Countries are making a big difference and I have pretty low installs in countries high in tier lists.
