Playgama has become an official Google MCM partner, allowing the company to provide web game developers and publishers with direct access to advanced features of the Google advertising network through Playgama Ad.
For a web game developer or publisher, the main benefit is that their ad inventory becomes available to many advertisers and demand platforms competing in a live auction, which typically increases fill rates, improves CPMs, and provides more control over how ads are sold and displayed.

Typically, web game developers and publishers only have access to Google’s standard advertising platform, AdSense, and access to real-time programmatic auction of the Ad Exchange (AdX) through Google Ad Manager with all its advantages can be acquired through an MCM partner, such as Playgama.
| WITHOUT AdX (AdSense only) • Fill rate ~60% for game inventory • No options for a real-time auction through header bidding • No access to direct advertiser deals • Limited advertiser pool | WITH AdX via Playgama Ad • Fill rate 85%+ (game-native inventory) • Full AdX with real-time header bidding • Direct advertiser deals run by Playgama as managing account • Open Bidding: 15+ demand sources • Premium video demand access • Game-fit formats: interstitial, rewarded, banners • Smart Fallback: unsold impressions become cross-promo for your other games |
More benefits for web game developers and publishers
- High-value gaming demand sources
First and foremost, it is a significantly stronger monetisation stack compared to traditional AdSense setups. While AdSense often fills around 60–65% of game inventory, Playgama’s MCM-based infrastructure can deliver 85%+ fill rates through programmatic auctions and additional demand sources.
- Access to direct advertiser deals and real-time bidding
Web games developers and publishers can sell their ad inventory through a much larger programmatic marketplace instead of relying only on Google AdSense demand and get access to additional ad networks, third-party brands and advertisers.
Open Bidding allows multiple ad exchanges and demand platforms to compete for each impression in a unified real-time auction inside Google Ad Manager, ensuring the highest bid wins. This broader competition increases advertiser demand for your inventory and typically leads to higher fill rates and revenue.
- Game-fit formats and premium video demand access
Get access to advanced ad formats such as interstitials, rewarded ads, and native placements that appear at natural gameplay breaks such as level transitions. Ad formats are optimized for browser games, supporting common in-game monetization mechanics.
Along with high-value video campaigns from brands that generate higher revenue than standard display inventory and appear through interstitial and rewarded ads placements.
- Crystal clear, enhanced analytics
Web game developers and publishers can access detailed reporting about revenue, demand sources, ad performance by placement, and advertiser activity. This allows them to understand exactly how their inventory is performing and optimize placements or formats accordingly.
Summing up all of the above, the Ad Exchange and Google Ad Manager through an MCM partner such as Playgama gives publishers access to an advanced advertising infrastructure: visibility into revenue and performance, tools for managing inventory, ad placements, and advertisers, and access to the programmatic marketplace.
