Hello I recently started using unity as in my game and have few question about the service
1)My game is in beta have around 250+ users. I didn’t expect to earn anything from it but somehow made $5 two days back.
Yesterday it was showing me that I earned another $3, but after few hours it becomes zero. I am not sure whether I missed something or dashboard accidentally shown me $3.
2) My game is COPPA compliant so now do I need to select do not show ads rated 13+ in ads filtering menu.
Hi,
First, congratulations on shipping your game

You can specify filtering in dashboard on https://dashboard.unityads.unity3d.com under game → Ad Filtering:

Hey thanks for the reply about 2nd point I already checked COPPA compliant in service menu So do I need to again filter ads from dashboard or unity will automatically show ads below 13+.
Yes, it’s the filtering which controls which ads are being shown. COPPA is a matter of which data can be collected for the users, and is decoupled from filtering. So you need to specify filtering separately.

Sorry to bother you again but I have still few questions:smile:. Coppa means no data collecting from children below age 13 but Do I need to check no ads above age13+ and what its possible effect on ecpm. Also ads are working fine but I am getting
Advertisement.isInitialized always false in Editor even when enabled in Services.
Correct, you should select “no ads above age 13+” option (however should automatically have been set…)
Any information in log about initialization? And are ads showing on device?
Hi. I have integrated unity ads in one of my app which is educational and not directed to children under age 13.
My doubt is which option should I select from unity ads dashboard listed below
• Show all ads
• Do not show ads rated 17+
• Do not show ads rated 13+
• Do not show ads rated 9+
• Do not show ads rated 5+
Tnks in adv.
Who will the audience be? If kids are playing, and you don’t want any complaints, you can choose to filter out e.g. 13+ or 17+ from above list.
Basically it’s up to you to decide, based on the type of game and audience.

Thank you for reply @ Rasmus.
what is the meaning for these all "ads rated 17+, 13+,…"ect.
An advertiser will choose the age category for their ads, e.g. if somehow not suitable for younger kids, according to normal guidelines. Remember an advertiser also doesn’t have any interest in showing ads to the wrong audience.
You as publisher can, based on your knowledge of game, choose to filter on age, as well as other categories, in the dashboard when configuring your game based on what type of game you are developing. If you would be making a game clearly targeting kids, you should not show ads meant for grown-ups, or you might get bad reviews from parents etc.
Hope it answers your question.

Hi, I turned on filter and now ads are not showing please help! Tried turning off the feature but no change. Ads are not appearing on the user’s devices.
I turned on don’t show ads rated for +17
Sorry, I don’t understand. What it means “Do not show ads rated 13+”. My app audience is since 13 years old. What I should to choose?
Hi, “Do not show ads rated 13+” means the game will only receive ads that max rating 12 years old.
Since your app audience is since 13 years old, pls consider use “Do not show ads rated 17+” or “Show all ads”.
