Advice Request In-app ads

[ZeePriest]

Hi guys, I get those ads while playing android games claiming that if you played them, you'll earn real money. Anyone knows if those ads are telling the truth or are they just promoting their apps?

An Ad is an avenue to promote an app or service.

Why not research the app in question? Check the site, reviews and other online sources to see if they are genuine or not.

I was playing one game on an iPhone i tried clicking like 30 points, get one for free after winning, etc it didn't works because of block ads (i use Lockdown Privacy)

Most often they are sort of legitimate, though misleading, as what they claim you can earn is not true, you will maybe earn a cent or two per ad.

Try using an ads and trackers blocking DNS service like NextDNS or Adguard DNS. What's your Android version if it's Android 9 or above then it's very easy to configure DNS over TLS. If you don't feel like configuring NextDNS at the moment then give Adguard DNS a go and see if it's able to get rid of those ads.

Private DNS
Android 9 or higher
1. Go to Settings → Network & internet → Advanced → Private DNS.
2. Select the Private DNS provider hostname option.
3. Enter dns.adguard.com and hit Save. Use dns-family.adguard.com instead if you also want to block adult conent sites along with ads.

There is no free lunch in this world, if it is too good to be true, it probably isn’t. In a business ( legal) the natural maximum of % of return is anywhere in between 14% to 18 % of your capital investment, any business which claims to give more than that is just plain hoax or fraud or illegal. If the app needs no investment and promises free money just stay away.
