    Hi All,

    I have a question regarding app advertising. My first app used Everyplay, which allows you to reward players for watching an entire video. However, on Android the earnings per video are extremely low. For my next game I want to use Admob, but I am not sure if I fully understand how it works. Admob has interstitials, which you can serve to a player at a selected time. Do these function the same way Reward Videos do in Everyplay? I want players to watch a video in order to earn coins.

    Does anyone have any experience with this?

    I have the same problem in trying to understand if there's a way to know if the user has watch the interstitial video entirely. Unfortunately I can't find a way to understand how to get this information in the AdClosed event.
    void HandleAdClosed (object sender, System.EventArgse)
    I think the key is here... to understand how the AD closed... I will let you know if I find a way.

    I meant Unity Ads not Everyplay. I am not a smart man.

    Hmm... so you're saying Unity Video Ads on Android is really low? Why is that? Lack of views/installs? Or is there just a low pay per view?

    The pay is really low compared to iOS.

    Android: $3,70 per 1000 videos completed.
    iOS: $24 per 1000 videos completed.

    I am guessing advertisers don't like Android much.

    Yeah quality of Android users is a lot lower due most not willing to invest any money to mobile games (paid or IAP) vs iOS.

    I would try Heyzap. We got $7 eCPM for 3 months solid on Android for them. Admittedly this was 2 years ago, but they were paying better than everything on iOS that we tried at the time (Playhaven / RevMob / ChartBoost) by FAR.

    Admob Reward Video just support ads from third networks
    Install Plugin https://github.com/unity-plugins/Unity-Admob ,and then add networks adapter and sdk in xcode project or eclipse project. It is more complex than admob and institial
