Rewarded Video Best Practices

Rewarded (or Incentivized) Video is a type of video ad unit that the user opts into watching in exchange for in-app rewards. Rewarded video ad units are non-skippable and are typically 15-30 seconds long. This type of unit is a non-intrusive, user-centric ad experience that can also include a dynamic end card to increase engagement.
