Offerwall placement is one of the most overlooked revenue levers for mobile app developers. You can have the best offers, the highest payouts, and the most engaged users — but if your offerwall is buried three menus deep, nobody will find it.
In this guide, we’ll break down exactly where to place your offerwall inside your app to maximize discovery, engagement, and revenue.
Why Placement Matters
Studies show that offerwalls placed in visible, high-traffic areas of an app see 3-5x higher engagement than those hidden in settings menus. The difference between a well-placed offerwall and a poorly placed one can mean thousands of dollars in lost monthly revenue.
The Best Offerwall Placements
1. In-Game Store / Shop Menu
This is the #1 placement. Users who open your store are already in a “spending” mindset. Show them the offerwall right next to IAP options, labeled as “Earn Free Coins” or “Get More Rewards.”
2. Main Navigation Bar
If your app has a bottom navigation bar, add a “Rewards” or “Offers” tab. This makes the offerwall accessible from anywhere in the app with a single tap.
3. After Level Completion / Milestone
When a user completes a level or reaches a milestone, they’re in a positive emotional state. Show a contextual prompt: “Out of coins? Earn more by completing offers.” This captures users at the moment they’re most receptive.
4. Virtual Currency Purchase Screen
When users try to buy virtual currency and hesitate, offer the offerwall as an alternative: “Don’t want to pay? Earn [currency] by completing offers instead.” This monetizes users who would otherwise leave without spending.
Placements to Avoid
Settings menu: Nobody goes to settings looking for rewards.
Deep submenus: If it takes more than 2 taps to reach, it’s too hidden.
Random popups: Don’t interrupt gameplay with offerwall prompts. Context matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I place my offerwall for maximum revenue?
The highest-performing placement is inside your in-game store or shop menu, where users are already in a spending mindset. Label it as ‘Earn Free Coins’ or ‘Get More Rewards’ right next to IAP options. Secondary placements include a dedicated tab in the main navigation bar and contextual prompts after level completions when users run out of currency.
How many offerwall placements should I have in my app?
Start with one primary placement in the store menu, then add a secondary entry point in the main navigation. Avoid showing the offerwall in more than 3 locations — too many placements dilute the experience and can hurt retention. The key is visibility without being intrusive. Test each placement’s impact on ARPDAU and retention over 2-week intervals.
Does offerwall placement affect user retention?
Yes, placement significantly affects retention. Offerwalls that interrupt gameplay (interstitial-style) tend to hurt retention, while user-initiated placements in natural pause points (store, settings, post-level) maintain or even improve retention. The golden rule: the offerwall should be easy to find but never forced on the user.
What is the worst place to put an offerwall?
Burying the offerwall in a settings submenu or behind multiple taps is the most common mistake. If users can’t find it within 2 taps from the main screen, engagement drops by 80% or more. Other poor placements include pop-ups during active gameplay and placements that compete with rewarded video ad buttons.
How do I measure if my offerwall placement is working?
Track three metrics: offerwall open rate (what percentage of DAU open the offerwall), offer completion rate (what percentage of openers complete at least one offer), and ARPDAU contribution from the offerwall. A well-placed offerwall typically sees 15-30% of DAU opening it, with 5-15% completing offers. Compare these metrics across different placements using A/B testing.
