Should I put 100K ROBUX in ads/sponsors?

So I’m launching my newest game that’s been in development for the past 10 months called Ancient Warfare and I’ve been trying to figure out the best way to launch it.

Since it’s a ancient roman fighting game that needs 2+ players to play, I was thinking of putting 10k in sponsors for 10 days straight but I was wondering if there was a better use for the robux I currently have to help the game succeed.

If you have any experience/insight on how I should spend my ROBUX and how much I should spend on ads/sponsors please let me know.

Here’s the link to the ALPHA version of the game if you wanna check it out. Ancient Warfare [ALPHA] - Roblox

If you’re confident that players would click on your Ad and find your game engaging, I don’t see why not.

You should also probably remember that there are other ways to advertise your game, like through Discord, TikTok, Twitter etc.

I don’t think spending tons of robux is a good move. If I were you, I’m gonna try make my own community and try advertising it on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and etc…

If you want to advertise:

  • Ads don’t show up on mobile
  • Most Browser and Extensions Block the Ads
  • Is you Ad/Icon attractive

Honestly Tiktok is the way to go if you can make or hire someone who can make a good Trailer.

I’ve put 6k robux in sponsors and I regret it, sponsors and ads arent really worth it unless you want npcs in your game

If you do then I promise that you won’t get as much players as you’d expect

You do get players from sponsors but the problem is that the players you get are braindead

Ads and sponsors are good to a certain point but putting that much money into them is almost always a terrible choice. There is a chance that your ads will actually catch on and bring in tons of players but most of the time they won’t and you will have wasted a lot of money, and even if you do gain a lot of players at first, that will most likely stop after a little and then you’ll be back to square one. My advice is to just DevEx that 100k and be happy with the $350 or so that that would net you, you might consider spending some of that money to hire other developers for your game to help the production process.

Ads can be good and obviously they work for some people, but from my own experience, they aren’t as much of a concurrent player infusion for your game as they may seem.

TLDR, Ads on Roblox are a blackhole for money, just DevEx.

I would suggest running a couple of 500-1000 RBX tests for your icon and different ad creatives to find the best performing combination. Attractive icon is extremely important for Sponsored Ads and you need good CTR to make it worth it. Don’t just throw 100k in and hope for the best.

Its very hard to get t players via sponsor and ads since tons of player using a roblox plugin like BTRoblox and Ro+. Ads use to be a cool thing back in the days but i dont think it works anymore like it use to be.

100k robux is a lot to start with, you can deposit 10 or 20k robux at first, if it works you can deposit a larger amount of robux
