📺 What is an interstitial ad?
It's an ad that can appear for a few seconds without initiating it. A cross will appear to close it after a small delay. It's not the same as rewarded ads you choose to watch.
🥉 Why am I seeing them?
Every step you validate earns you real rewards: gift cards, transfers, donations, and partner perks. All of that has a real cost for us. 👉 Interstitials help fund those rewards and keep Macadam 100% free for everyone and with no subscription.
They are shown to Bronze users only.
⏰ When do they appear?
👟 After validating your steps, on the reward screen
🏠 When returning to the home page from another section of the app
🎯 During some in-app challenges
👑 How do I stop seeing them?
Simply collect more crowns to reach Silver 🥈 or Gold 🥇 status. Interstitials will stop automatically.
🐛 Something looks wrong?
These cases are not normal — please report them to our support team:
😵 App freezes or the validation slider stays stuck after an ad
📍 Ads appearing in the wrong place (on the map, during coin collection…)
🔁 Several interstitials in a row
🚷 Interstitials while you are Silver or Gold
