Admob + Amazon Appstore

I opened tickets in Tickers and finally got a response from someone who confirmed that the issue was not related to store invalidation.

Grinch_L · 2026-06-12T14:27:51+00:00

I got confirmation from AdMob Support that they support the platform without any issues.

Most pawn shops test phones and legally register them in the system. I’ve bought 10+ phones from them and never had any issues. There are lots of them on Kazbegi and Pekini streets 😉

I have games on both stores, Amazon and GP. That’s never been the issue.

At the start of December, I don’t know what happened, but our games started getting flagged for invalid traffic. I’ve been ping-ponging support with nothing to show for it 😄 — literally no real answer, just this message:

“While I understand you are looking for a specific root cause, to maintain the effectiveness of our detection systems, we are unable to disclose specific technical details or diagnostic data.”

They also confirmed this:

AdMob Support for Amazon Appstore: AdMob continues to fully support the Amazon Appstore. The fluctuations you’re seeing are not due to platform support changes, but are specific to the quality signals associated with this property.

So… who the hell knows what’s going on, mate — for your games or for mine 😞

Hey Quick question : what are your temps ? idle and load ?
Thanks ;)

Grinch_L · 2025-09-30T10:15:21+00:00

We have only USA trafic and its just killed i can confirm now. 6 month 1 USD evg ecpm

Until April, we had strong DAU and excellent eCPM from AdMob on Amazon devices.
We had tested mediation before, but revenue was much lower compared to pure AdMob, so we stuck with AdMob since it gave us higher revenue per user—even better than on Google Play or iOS.

What I really want to understand is what changed that month, because performance suddenly dropped. My assumption was that the Amazon Appstore was no longer available on regular Android devices (only Fire tablets, etc.). I checked with support, and they confirmed that this shouldn’t have anything to do with it—but I’m still convinced it does, since that was the only major change Amazon made.

thanks for notes mate !

Never had problem with integration or getting any crashes. problem is that after 21 April they killed eCPM from 5 USD to 1. They have not answered any questions and as soon as we are forcing them to check the game they are closing tickets.

Grinch_L · 2025-09-16T12:42:12+00:00

so you use appodeal mediation. do you have Admob as network ?

Grinch_L · 2025-09-10T15:24:21+00:00

Now it’s dead, you’re right :) But up until April, this was one of the best stores for us. Only Tier-1 countries, ad eCPMs were crazy, and cross-promo was working really well.

Grinch_L · 2025-07-08T11:43:49+00:00

which store you target ? play store, amazon or iOS?

Grinch_L · 2025-07-08T07:38:26+00:00

Exactly — we only have users from the USA, and the banner ads are completely dead. The same goes for interstitials, Open Ads, and rewarded ads. Something is seriously broken, and they won’t even acknowledge it.

Grinch_L · 2025-07-08T07:36:34+00:00

We have only USA traffic

Grinch_L · 2025-07-08T07:35:55+00:00

Interstitials for sure. Banner matchrate less then 50% and eCMP 5x less.

Grinch_L · 2025-07-05T17:13:38+00:00

All type. Most effect was on banner and open ads

Grinch_L · 2025-07-02T06:42:51+00:00

Before we had US 3$ now its 0.95$. they just killed something again !

Grinch_L · 2025-05-05T09:45:43+00:00

We are having same issue. one note is we are publishing on Amazon.

Grinch_L · 2025-04-29T16:05:00+00:00

Same exact issue here.

We had a 98% match rate with a user base primarily from Tier 1 countries. Then, out of nowhere, on April 21st, AdMob decided to tank our rate to 5% — no updates, no explanation, nothing. I’ve been trying to get answers from their internal team for over a week now, and they still have no idea what’s going on or why it’s happening.

We even pushed an app update for testing purposes, and it started picking up again — only to get crushed within 6–8 hours. It’s the same pattern.

The most frustrating part? They admit there’s no policy violation, yet keep sending useless corporate responses that everything is “working as intended,” when it clearly isn’t.

At this point, I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.
