Meet Your Team: Playtime Data Science

Playtime is a time- and event-based ad unit that continuously rewards users with in-app currency – for the time they spend and events completed while playing mobile games. We connect advertisers to 200+ million Playtime users and serve 2bn requests per day at low latency. We ensure that all parties involved have a positive experience. Advertisers get more users for their apps. Monetizers earn revenue for users on their platforms. Users play fun games while simultaneously getting rewarded.
