Campaign options

There are 5 event ad spots per cycle and 15 total each month. You can also submit engagement-rewards campaigns that are eligible for the Watch Ads system when approved.

  • Ad buyers must only submit content that is lawful, truthful, and platform-appropriate.
  • Pondy may reject ad creative that is unsafe, misleading, hateful, explicit, or incompatible with sponsor or platform policies.
  • Buying an ad spot does not guarantee approval of unsafe or rule-breaking content.
  • Banner ads must not include nudity, swearing, politics, hateful content, or misleading claims.
  • Pondy reserves the right to remove an ad without refund if there is public outcry or if criminal or immoral activity is discovered.
  • Placement type controls whether the campaign is a timed event spot or an engagement-rewards sponsor placement.
  • Scheduled campaigns can use start and end windows, plus impression and click caps.
  • Engagement-rewards campaigns should include the number of days you want them eligible on the Watch Ads page so Pondy can schedule them cleanly after approval.
  • Approved engagement campaigns can appear on the Watch Ads page, rotate with other approved sponsors, and are tracked for rewarded completions and clickouts.

Stripe places an authorization hold first. Payment is only captured after Pondy approves the submission.

If you want the very top banner on every page instead of an event placement, use the hourly banner inventory page.

How Pondy handles campaign intake

What happens after you submit this form

Safer advertiser path

Review timeline

Pondy saves the application first, places the Stripe approval hold second, then reviews creative, destination quality, payout logic, and delivery setup before capture or launch.

Engagement campaign posture

Engagement-rewards campaigns should be structured clearly enough that users know what they are clicking, what reward is attached, and what brand they are being sent toward.

Uploaded creative privacy

Uploaded creative files, screenshots, PDFs, or video are for internal review and moderation. They help the team judge fit and safety; they are not treated as automatically public assets.
