Ad Guidelines

Ad Types
Video and playable ads yield best results for your campaigns. Graphic ads are also good to include as incremental units so you can achieve more scale.
Badges
Creatives must either have OS-specific badges (e.g. iTunes store badge only for iOS, and Google Play store badge only for Android) or no badges at all.
Content
AppLovin does not allow depictions of: violence, drug use, or nudity. Ads must also have clear branding and CTAs (e.g. “Download Now”, “Play Now”).
Best Practices
Have at least two to three ad concepts. Refresh ads every two to three weeks. New ads must be uploaded in a new creative set.
