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
The following code shows you how to attach listeners and load the first rewarded ad:
var adUnitID:String = "«ad-unit-ID»";var retryAttempt:Number;
private function initializeRewardedAds():void{ // Attach event callbacks AppLovinMAXEvents.setRewardedAdLoadedEvent(onRewardedAdLoaded); AppLovinMAXEvents.setRewardedAdLoadFailedEvent(onRewardedAdFailedToLoad); AppLovinMAXEvents.setRewardedAdDisplayedEvent(onRewardedAdDisplayed); AppLovinMAXEvents.setRewardedAdFailedToDisplayEvent(onRewardedAdFailedToDisplay); AppLovinMAXEvents.setRewardedAdClickedEvent(onRewardedAdClicked); AppLovinMAXEvents.setRewardedAdReceivedRewardEvent(onRewardedAdReceivedReward); AppLovinMAXEvents.setRewardedAdHiddenEvent(onRewardedAdHidden);
// Load the first rewarded ad loadRewardedAd();}
private function loadRewardedAd():void{ AppLovinMAX.loadRewardedAd(adUnitID);}
private function onRewardedAdLoaded(adEventInfo:AdEventInfo):void{ // Rewarded ad is ready for you to show. MaxSdk.IsRewardedAdReady(adUnitId) now returns 'true'.
// Reset retry attempt retryAttempt = 0;}
private function onRewardedAdFailedToLoad(adEventInfo:AdEventInfo):void{ // Rewarded ad failed to load // AppLovin recommends that you retry with exponentially higher delays, up to a maximum delay (in this case 64 seconds).
retryAttempt++; var retryDelay:Number = Math.pow(2, Math.min(6, retryAttempt));
var timer:Timer = new Timer(retryDelay, 1); timer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, loadInterstitial); timer.start();}
private function onRewardedAdDisplayed(adEventInfo:AdEventInfo):void {}
private function onRewardedAdFailedToDisplay(adEventInfo:AdEventInfo):void{ // Rewarded ad failed to display. AppLovin recommends that you load the next ad. loadRewardedAd();}
private function onRewardedAdClicked(adEventInfo:AdEventInfo):void {}
private function onRewardedAdReceivedReward(adEventInfo:AdEventInfo, reward:AppLovinMAXReward):void{ // The rewarded ad displayed and the user should receive the reward.}
private function onRewardedAdHidden(adEventInfo:AdEventInfo):void{ // Rewarded ad is hidden. Pre-load the next ad loadRewardedAd();}Showing a Rewarded Ad
To show a rewarded ad, call ShowRewardedAd():
if (AppLovinMAX.isRewardedAdReady(«ad-unit-ID»)){ AppLovinMAX.showRewardedAd(«ad-unit-ID»);}S2S Rewarded Callbacks
