Summary

In this solo episode of Two and a Half Gamers, Jakub breaks down 5 advanced ad placements that are actively driving revenue in top mobile games.

No theory. No fluff. Just practical systems you can implement today.

He covers:

🎯 Before-level boosters that increase win probability
⚙️ Idle stacking mechanics that multiply impressions
✈️ Dynamic “random drop” placements
🎰 Gacha-based ad conversion systems
📺 Rewarded interstitials that improve retention

Plus, a hidden system used by top games to scale ad revenue over time.

This episode is brought to you by Potensus. If you’re a mobile game publisher tired of leaving money on the table – listen up.

Potensus is a premium ad network built by people who’ve actually been on both sides of this industry – game publishers, agencies, and successful exits. They get it.

Here’s the thing – Potensus has direct deals with Amazon, Apple, Coca-Cola, Vodafone. Not programmatic. Direct. Those budgets land in your game at premium CPMs, no middleman tax.

And they handle everything with their in-house team. PLUS they’re partnered with PlayableMaker WINK WINK – so they’ll take a brand’s YouTube video or a static banner and actually turn it into a playable ad or rewarded video. Proper interactive format, built for gaming inventory. Brands getting a gaming-native creative, publishers getting higher CPMs. Everyone wins.
