Advertising to Gamers
As gaming continues to evolve, so does the landscape of advertising to gamers. CMO of Overwolf, Shahar Sorek, explains how global brands and agencies like KFC, Dr Pepper, P&G, Monster, Intel, WPP, Dentsu, and Havas are doing exactly that, using Moment-Triggered Ads inside the biggest games in a cost-efficient, quick and scalable way.
This ties in strongly with bolstering revenue for developers, as this will create more opportunities with big brands for direct sales and increase revenue with another unique type of advertising.

Subscription Offer for 2024
Great news for those looking to leverage our Tebex subscription system! Responding to your valuable feedback, we are excited to announce the extension of our special offer — Revshare-Free 2024 — until January 15th. This extension provides additional time for you to integrate this lucrative opportunity into your apps.
Moreover, we are pleased to inform you that our API is now finalized. With an updated sample app in place, apps that pass our review can immediately begin offering subscriptions to users. Remember, while standard Tebex transaction fees apply, a year without revenue sharing is a rare opportunity. Do not miss out on this chance to boost your earnings!
Connect with your Developer Relations Manager to move forward with migration!

Revenue News
As 2023 draws to a close, we are entering what is likely the final stretch of high revenue for the year. Traditionally, ad budgets tend to run out post-December 24th, leading to a significant drop in January, as seen in previous years.
Stay tuned for more updates and strategies to navigate the changing revenue landscape in this new year in our next edition!
