An offerwall is a mobile advertising unit that presents Android and iOS app users with the opportunity to earn rewards through engagement, while unlocking a complementary revenue stream for app publishers. Publishers typically host offerwalls on their app’s store page and promote it via contextual messages at key moments in gameplay. As its name suggests, an offerwall is a list of opt-in “offers” which invite users to complete an objective in exchange for in-app currency. Objectives may include watching a short video, signing up for a free trial, or purchasing a new product subscription. On Android, app advertisers can even use the offerwall as a user acquisition tool by setting in-app engagement objectives, such as completing a certain level in a mobile game.
Offerwalls are an excellent monetization method for any app with a virtual economy. Roughly 15% of the top 100 grossing apps, and 25% of the top mobile game apps, use offerwalls to monetize users.

Once you integrate an offerwall into your mobile game or app, you’ll be able to add UI elements that help users find offers when they want them, such as “Earn Free Currency” buttons. These elements can be placed anywhere but are most effective in the store, main menu, or “Game Over” screens.

The Tapjoy Offerwall gives publishers complete control over the ads and offers that users receive. You’ll be free to optimize the offer selection for your audience and, by extension, maximize ad revenue. The amount of virtual currency paid to users for completing offers varies depending on the exchange rate set by the publisher, and on advertiser bids.
Industry studies consistently show that mobile players are highly willing to engage with in-app adverts as long they can do so on their own terms and receive something of value in return. However, offerwalls don’t just benefit end-users but publishers and advertisers too.
