Costs and control

What you pay for
Views of your ad. You are never charged more than your budget.
Funding
An ad only runs against money you have actually paid in
Pausing
Pause or restart your ad at any time from your dashboard
If an ad is not approved
You see the reason, and you can fix the ad and send it back

What we don't accept

Every ad is checked by a person. We turn down anything misleading, adult, political, or aimed at harming people rather than serving them. Ads for regulated services must be honest about what is on offer.
