A rewarded video is a type of video ad that rewards users for watching full-screen ads in exchange for a particular in-app reward. An example of such an award could be acquiring virtual currency inside a mobile game, completing a game level faster, and so on.
Rewarded videos can benefit all three parties: publishers, advertisers and users. Publishers earn more revenue, advertisers enjoy the increased engagement, and users receive in-app currency to progress faster. The typical length of video ads is 15-30 seconds — these are non-skippable, and mobile users need to opt-in to watch them so they can receive their reward.
We’ve gathered and listed the essential Rewarded Video Advertising Networks here.

Rewarded video ads are engaging, popular ads that offer consumers a bonus for choosing to watch them, such as extra lives, points and virtual goods. They often command high average eCPMs and are an attractive format for both advertisers and publishers.
Due to their non-skippable nature, rewarded video ads tend to make lasting impressions for the advertiser, which increases engagement and retention. It’s important to note that post-install actions are often increased as well.
Rewarded video ads are initiated by the viewer inside a mobile app, meaning that they don’t intrude with the user’s overall experience until they are ready to receive their reward. Less intrusion often benefits the advertiser in the long run, as users tend to trust those that respect their time in an app and thereby engage at a higher level.
