  • Reward Name: Enter a name for the reward item, such as coins, extra HP and etc. This name will be displayed to the users.
  • Reward Amount: Enter the number of reward items the user will receive. This amount must be a positive number.
  • Reward Callback Settings:
    • Server Callback refers to the process where a client sends a verification request to a third-party server after the user watches a rewarded video ad. The third-party server then determines whether to reward the user and returns the result (true/false) to the client. Pangle SDK provides onRewardVerify API, and boolean rewardVerify can be used to obtain the result. If the server callback mode is not enabled, true will be returned by default for boolean rewardVerify when the video has finished playing.
    • The server callback mode is not mandatory and simply adds a third-party server verification. Reward delivery will be completed by the client side.

Pangle will automatically optimize the price for each impression and maximize the fill rate for you. In this case, you do not have to set a price floor for this placement and eCPM is not a fixed value.


- Fixed CPM
  • Global Fixed CPM:

With a Global Fixed CPM, Pangle will only return and display ads that match the specified CPM rate. Global Fixed CPM CPM will apply to all countries and regions without Regional CPM.

Note: If Fixed CPM is set to 0, this placement will be treated as Automatic pricing.


  • Regional CPM

With Regional CPM, you can set different fixed CPMs for each country or region. For all markets without Regional CPM price floor settings, Pangle will apply the Global Fixed CPM.
