Video advertisements are broken

Simple test place:

When clicked, the button calls:

game:GetService("AdService"):ShowVideoAd()

which instantly causes:

game:GetService("AdService").VideoAdClosed:connect(function() end)
to get called (not good).

I’ve tested this on my iPhone and brothers Google Nexus, the place is not FilteringEnabled however I’ve tested this on a FilteringEnabled game too.

Apparently ads are only shown to NBC players. This is an extremely large caveat that every single person apparently forgot to mention.

Video Ads are only shown to NBC Members ? Since when is that a thing, this means that BC members can’t get some extra currency by watching some ads ?

I can get that BC members don’t get Ads, since they paid. But ROBLOX could atleast told us that.

Well, a extra line of code to actually only showcase it to NBC members.

Probably just an oversight. There’s no way everyone forgot to mention it.

I’m still not seeing advertisements on my NBC alt though?
Edit:
Just found the Ad Revenue menu.

So I am earning money.

Is it the same error?

How do I check? :stuck_out_tongue:

I just tried to test this with a non-BC account:

My phone’s screen resolution changed and the game stopped responding to taps, but did not crash.
I didn’t even get a video. :frowning:

Something isn’t quite right here.

EDIT:
GUIs don’t work, but the menu button at the top left does. I can also rotate the camera.

None of the GUIs in the menu work, though…

EDIT*2:
The GUIs do work, it’s just the part of the screen where I am tapping, is not 1:1 with where the GUIs are.
It also seems like I need to be able to tap off the edge of my screen to activate the GUIs at the bottom…

EDIT*3:
Seems like it doesn’t mess up all the time, but I’ll add an image of before and after for when it does:

[spoiler]Before:

After:

Almost untappable buttons (do you see how gamesettings is highlighted, but my tap is further below?):

[/spoiler]
Please do note, I haven’t actually seen a video ad yet…

ADMINS, it is now viable to bring video ads to PC.

Not really, it seems to be broken enough as it is.

Do we still get paid for BC if we run the ad? I see this as being abused.
Checks if member has BC, if true, run ad 5 times every hour for every BC player without disrupting them.

EDIT: At the same time, if we can’t monetize Ads off of BC which still makes up a large part of the player base, that leaves a decent sized gap, while TBC and OBC won’t have much of a problem spending 15+ ROBUX on a place, BC members may be more cautious to spend a lot on a new game.

I’m pretty certain you do not. I checked my brother’s “Ad Revenue” and it didn’t increase at all.

I was on an NBC account at the time, and the video didn’t load. So, if it’s a BC account, the video will never load and no R$ will be earned.

Personally, I believe BC users should have the option to skip ads.

If they do however, the VideoAdClosed should not get called so they don’t receive in-game currency/item.

Maybe there should be a separate method e.g. WatchedWholeAd which gets called instead if they watch the full advertisement.
