Why: the goal or problem

Some users want a benefit without paying money. Any advertising exchange needs an explicit choice and a clear reward condition.

How: work toward a solution

A fictional puzzle app offers one non-transferable hint for completing one simulated ad. Choose participation, then complete or interrupt it. Completion adds one hint once; interruption adds none, and normal play remains available. Repeated completion cannot duplicate that reward. No ad request or money transfer occurs; revenue and network charges are omitted.

Optional participation with a stated completion reward.

What: the concept

Rewarded ads offer a disclosed benefit for completing a specified action. Google requires clear reward conditions and opt-in for this format, with dismissal available.

Keep reward conditions visible before each attempt.
