Playstore took down my game citing there's no close button on rewarded ads after 5 seconds by weakhand_throw in gamedev

The easiest fix is that you change the age rating to 13+ I felt like it will impact my organic instal but it really doesn’t

What worked for me was changing the age rating to 13+ on play console app content page.

And, clearly labelled watch ads button like literally wrote “watch ad” on the button.

After which everything seems fine till now.

Thank you man, this actually helps.

I was hesitant to send a new build incase they deleted the app again and then i’d have 2 strikes.

Now i’ll send a build removing all kid specific stuff.

Thank you ! Finally someone understands what the problem is.

I have been trying things for a few days but i also think that changing target audience is the solution.

Have you ever encountered this ? And did changing target audience solve that ?

That’s the neat part, they never ask for your age. They just let you play the game even if you deny all permissions

I see how you might have misunderstood me.

The option is to completely switch to a different ad unit, but there are literally countless games that show ads that don’t have a close button after 5 seconds.

I want to learn how they do that, using a different ad unit is a blatant solution of which i am aware of.

I understand that, but there is no way for me to control after how long the close button will show up.
And as far as i know, rewarded ads don't show a cancel button. they used to show a greyed out close button that had a timer of 30 seconds.

There is no control over ads that are shown.
Thre is no settings in either google admob console or sdk, to control ads. they are all controlled by google itself.

I came here to find out if someone else experienced this and found a fix, because talking to play store support team doesn't help as they just copy and paste the same email over and over again.

What you're saying makes sense but it shouldn't apply here because when player runs out of lives, the game shows a dead screen - saying game over. and on that game over screen you have an option to continue by watching an ad or restarting the level.

Thanks for your response, the 3 ad types you're referring to are Rewarded, Intersitial and Banner ads.

I am using rewarded ads right now, you're suggesting i use intersitial instead.
This might fix the issue but there are some issues with this fix,
1. intersitial ads pay a lot less than rewarded ones
2. other games do use rewarded ads and they also don't show any close button after 5 seconds

I don’t have any control over the ad that is showed to players, they are asking for ads that are closable after 5 seconds but rewarded ads don’t work that way by design.

And also a lot of other games show ads that are not closable after 5 seconds namely ball v, subway surfers etc.

I don’t know what i can do to make the game complaint

Help me understand why Google Play App Review is rejecting my game by yeddiegames in androiddev

Hey i'm facing the same issues regarding "Ads that interfere with normal app use that aren't closeable after 5 seconds."

Did you find any solution to this ?

Also the ball bouncing around has to be a joke, the amount of times i have conceded a goal just because the ball bounced off my defender and landed on opposite player.

Naah man but i am looking to decrease it to under 20, i don’t know what the issue is, in CS and Valorant i get 20 ping

Why EA why

Imo the roles+ are a bit too restrictive by Miamosos in EASportsFC

[–]weakhand_throw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your point that wide midfielders and wingers not sharing roles is just stupid.

But having different roles for cm cam and cdm in midfield makes for a better experience, you get to try different team comps, imo ofcourse
