📑FAQs
Is it necessary to provide the userId at app start-up with the init method?
No. Since the init method should happen at app start-up, there are circumstances where you don’t yet have this data. For example, if the user hasn’t signed in yet. In these cases, it’s still critical to init at the app start up, but you can pass a blank or 0 value in UserId. After login, re-initialize the SDK with proper userId.
Remember that the userId is critical for doing S2S payouts, without it your users will not be able to get their rewards. It is also important to note that whatever the last supplied userId was is what will be sent in the S2S payout URL. Therefore, the last supplied UserId was what will be sent in the S2S payout URL.
Do I need to do anything with the Playtime Ads SDK after the user logs out?
You should clear the previous session by using PlaytimeAds.getInstance().destroy() code to ensure SDK will reinitialize properly with new user details when user login the app again.
How often is the SDK updated?
The SDK is updated every couple of months. Please keep an eye out on our

What kind of data does the SDK track? I need to share this information with the Google Play Store.

How do users know that they are able to receive a reward?
For Android users, we send a postback for rewards. Please generate a push notification to notify users
while receiving postback from us.
I'm not seeing campaigns/games in the offerwall?
The most common reason is if you have started the same campaigns/games previously on your device, so it will not be visible to you.
After playing some time-based reward games (Playtime), I stopped receiving rewards after some time. Why?
It can happen because you stopped progressing through the game. To fix this, please keep playing and progressing through the game.
What's the difference between Event-Based, Playtime, and Level-Based Campaigns?
We have more information about this in our docs. Please refer to them 👉here .
What is the use of the GAID?
We use GAID to identify users. We provide these data to our advertising partners so they can count attribution.
Why does the user need to accept Access to Advertising Info?
We also ask the user to accept the App Usage Permissions. This allows us to monitor the time spent in each game or app. Without accepting these permissions, users won't be eligible to participate in such campaigns which requires app usage access information to reward users.
Why does the user need to accept TOS?
