Banners are regular AdSense units, not called from game code like interstitial and rewarded ads. Pick the size that fits your UI without covering play area or controls, and keep it in the same spot rather than moving it around, which hurts both viewability and player trust.<\/p>\n<p>Size matters less than placement and timing. A banner docked at the top or bottom of the canvas during active play, next to a HUD, tends to be less disruptive than one that overlaps game elements.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/playgama.com\/adv\/\">Playgama Ad<\/a> is one way to run banner, interstitial, rewarded and in-page video from a single SDK, with demand from 11 partners including Google Ad Manager, and AI ad frequency logic that balances revenue and engagement.<\/p>\n<h2>Which size should I use on mobile viewports?<\/h2>\n<p>Pick a banner format that fits narrow mobile widths or vertical room without blocking gameplay.
