ADS: EVERY SPOT, ONE SWITCH EACH.
One design, not options. Every ad spot is drawn where it lives, at iPhone 16 landscape. The game’s own pieces (the green WATCH buttons, the corner chips, the bonus pop-up) are in the game’s look. The ad itself is always the network’s plain “Test Ad”, inside a frame with an AD tag, so it never looks like part of the game. The 22 spots that ship OFF are drawn switched on, so you can see where they would go. Names and numbers are made up.
RESPAWN: the one ad that helps in a fight. Only in a solo vs-bots match with no league points, once a match. It’s a small corner chip that stays clear of the fight.
ON AT LAUNCH: THE 9 SPOTS (§4.2)
Full-screen after a match, banners on Home and in the Shop, and six rewarded spots the player chooses. Rewarded: 15 a day in all, at most 3 a day each (the free chest once a day, respawn once a match). The day starts at the player’s midnight.
BUILT, OFF: THE 22 SPOTS (§4.3)
Each one is ready in the game and stays off until the dashboard turns it on, with no app update. Drawn here switched on. When it’s off it takes no space, so the screen looks exactly as it does today.
RULES NO SWITCH CAN BREAK
These are in the code. The dashboard shows them, but no setting can turn them off.
- Never during a fight with real players. No ad of any kind in a room match or an ONLINE match. ONLINE counts even though it’s AI-filled, because the player can’t tell. The pieces that can appear in a match (respawn, pause, spectate, arena posters, between rounds) work only in bots, practice and training.
- No forced ads for payers: Remove Ads (for ever), VIP (while it’s active), PLUS (that season), and starter-pack buyers (30 days). They see no full-screen ads, no bonus pop-up, no banners, no native cards and no sponsor slots. Rewarded ads stay available to them.
- Consent first. Nothing loads before Google’s consent answer. Under-13s get child-directed ads (rating G); under-18s get non-personalised ads. Sponsor slots are hidden for under-13s unless switched on.
- No ads offline, sponsor images included.
- Test ads until you choose real ones: the dashboard’s unit switch, and even then only in a store build.
- No config, an old config or a broken one: the game uses its built-in defaults (the 9 ON, the 22 OFF). It never crashes, and never shows a spot that should be off.
EVERY SPOT
The config id, where it lives, and its launch setting. Every spot also has its own countries, modes, first-sessions and first-days grace, cooldown and caps in the dashboard.
