non-rewarded vs rewarded video

Rewarded video: disabled skip button and rewards a user e.g coins, points etc…
non-rewarded : enabled skip button and no rewards for the user ? “correct me if I’m wrong”

which is better? rewarded or non-rewarded ?
What if I added non-rewarded video to my game is it okay?

Does rewarded video earn more than non rewarded?

I’m confused.

Generally rewarded video earns more than non-rewarded video otherwise known as interstitials.

Usually you would give the user a bonus for watching an ad so that they chose to watch a 30 second video rather than being forced to watch a video.

What I tend to do is track if a user watches any rewarded videos and if they do then i never force them to view an interstitial.

If a user has never made a purchase and never watches rewarded video and has played a ‘decent’ amount then I can assume i’m not going to earn anything from them and it’s safe to start showing interstitials because if i piss them off and they leave, it’s not a big loss for me.

I suggest you download a bunch of games and see what other successful developers are doing.
