Introduction
TDS Ads are used to promote Tripledot Studios games as fallback ads when no fill is received from mediation platforms. This ensures continuous ad delivery and maximises ad opportunities, even when external demand is unavailable.
To support this functionality, TDS Ads configuration section has been added to the Game Server UI.
With this feature, you can:
Configure and manage TDS Ads used as backup creatives.
Define CDN links for video assets and destination URLs.
Apply labels, availability states, and usage metadata for organisation and tracking.
TDS Ads Bank allows configuring a prioritised list of TDS Ads along with serving probabilities. This helps ensure consistent ad experiences for users even in the absence of external ads.
