The Offerwall Reward Status Lifecycle: Pending to Reversed Explained
The Reward Status Lifecycle: Four States, Four Handlers
Every offerwall reward moves through up to four states: pending, approved, rejected, reversed. Handling all four correctly is the difference between a trustworthy reward system and a broken one.
Pending
The offer is under advertiser validation. Do not credit yet – display the status honestly to users.
Approved
The advertiser validated the conversion. Credit the user now, via the postback, not the SDK callback.
Rejected
Validation failed – speeders, fraud, or rule violations. Do not credit. Show the rejection reason when available.
Reversed
A previously approved conversion got clawed back – refunds, fraud discovery, or advertiser disputes. Remove the credited reward from the user balance.
