Banner rules and prep guidance
- Banner buyers may reserve approved hourly slots at the top of the site.
- No nudity, swearing, politics, hateful content, or misleading creative is allowed.
- Banner bookings remain subject to approval even after payment is collected.
- Pondy may remove a banner without refund if there is public outcry or if criminal or immoral activity is discovered.
Banner ads must stay safe for general audiences. No nudity, swearing, politics, hateful content, or misleading claims. Pondy reserves the right to remove any banner without refund if there is public outcry or if criminal or immoral activity is discovered.
Simple brand art, readable text, and a direct landing page usually create less review friction.
When no approved hourly banner is active, the site shows a large Pondy fallback banner instead.
Use support if you want to confirm the best slot or explain special timing needs before paying.
The banner approval and scheduling flow
The booking is saved
Pondy stores your request details first so the review team can evaluate the exact creative, timing, and destination.
Stripe authorizes the hold
Your card is authorized before approval, but the charge is not captured until Pondy accepts the banner.
Approval schedules the slot
Approved bookings are activated for the reserved hourly window and removed automatically when that window ends.
Moderation still applies
Pondy keeps the right to remove banners early if later safety or brand issues appear.
The answers advertisers usually need before they commit
Stripe authorizes first. Pondy only captures payment after approval, which is safer for both sides.
Yes. You can include an uploaded image, a creative link, or both when you submit the booking.
The review flow can reject the banner instead of activating it. Use support if you need clarification on the reason or what to change.
Banner ad questions
Make the hourly banner product easy to understand before checkout.
When does my banner go live?
Only after payment clears, admin approves the creative, and the booked hour window begins.
What happens when my booked hours end?
The banner comes down automatically and the Pondy fallback banner returns.
Can Pondy remove my banner after approval?
Yes. Banner ads remain subject to the posted safety and takedown policy.
