I heard some gaming developer really enjoy using adsense on their gaming site so what is actually the benefit of using adsense on the gaming site?

Following the thread from , , and : AdSense can be part of a gaming site’s revenue mix, but it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Which makes it “good” depends on traffic quality (organic vs social), device mix (mobile apps vs desktop portals), and the ad formats you use — game-targeted formats like rewarded and interstitial video normally deliver much higher value than plain display CPC units. AdMob: Rewarded ads overview.

Compliance and traffic quality are critical. Google’s publisher policies set clear rules about placement, incentivization, and restricted categories (for example, gambling / online betting is subject to tight publisher restrictions and regional rules). Review the official program rules before scaling ad inventory. · .

Implementation and testing guidance: keep ads out of the active game canvas, show interstitials between levels (not during gameplay), offer rewarded ads as an opt‑in, prefetch creatives to avoid buffering, and use mediation to maximize fill and eCPM. Measure eCPM/RPM, ARPDAU (apps) or revenue per session (web) and A/B test placements and formats. AdMob best practices for rewarded ads · Unity video ad best practices.

Practical next steps checklist: 1) audit traffic sources (social referrals often give high single‑page visits and low monetization, as older StumbleUpon-era examples show), 2) start with a mix of banner (non-intrusive) + interstitial + rewarded, 3) enable mediation and run experiments, and 4) consider game-focused networks or direct sponsorships if display RPM is weak. If social or paid referral traffic dominates (as hinted), prioritize landing‑page alignment and retention before scaling ads. CIMA: social/referral engagement notes.

Well the same benefit as using adsense on any siteL you get paid for clicked ads on that site. From what I know technology related ads are the most profitable so since gaming is related to technology it must be paid good as well.

It is for gaming site but it is not for gambling sites.

yes i realy enjoy games specially action and advanctures games. Evening daily 2 to 3 hours free and enjoy games. adsense good cpc rate for games sepcial acrade and action games.
