The minimum deposit amount in unity acquisition($1k) seems like a lot!

Hi there. So we are a newly born indie team and we just got our first game published on google play. I wanted to use unity acquisition in order to get users to install my game, but just when I got to the deposit section, it said the minimum amount is $1k and the maximum is $10k.

That sounds like a large number considering the fact that we’re pretty new to the market and we have no investors and all that. So I had a few questions:

  1. Is there any workaround to deposit less than $1k?

  2. Do other campaigns such as google ads and admob have these limits too?

  3. In case I deposit the $1k into the dashboard and I spend like $100 of it, will I be able to withdraw the remaining amount?

  4. If I deposit the $1k can I spend it on different projects/games? Or should it be spent on this one game specifically?

Hi @arianhassani79 , thank you for your interest in Unity Ads!

1. Is there any workaround to deposit less than $1k?
No. Unfortunately, our algorithm requires a minimum deposit of $1k in order to start spending.

2. Do other campaigns such as google ads and admob have these limits too?
This isn’t really my area of expertise. Perhaps someone from the community can give you more insights into this by providing their experience. I did find this article that may help answer your question - provided it is still up to date.

3. In case I deposit the $1k into the dashboard and I spend like $100 of it, will I be able to withdraw the remaining amount?
Yes. Provided you do not violate any of our terms of service you will be able to receive a refund of the remaining amount. Please open a ticket with us by contacting unityads-support@unity3d.com to initiate a refund request.

4. If I deposit the $1k can I spend it on different projects/games? Or should it be spent on this one game specifically?
You can spend it on multiple projects if you wish. However, I would highly recommend choosing one title. In order for our machine learning algorithms to properly optimize to your campaign, they need data - the more the better. This is why we have the $1k minimum. With less than $1k, we won’t be able to generate enough impressions to properly optimize your campaign.

Please let me know if you have any questions and have an amazing day!

It is good to know that the remaining amount will be refunded.
I have been requesting the refund for past 5 months through tickets and emails, and have not been received any response. May I know what is happening?
