Statistics show rapid increase in the share of ad-driven revenue for all genres of gaming apps, as developers shift from having one revenue source to creating monetization mix.
A brand new Appsflyer report “State of Gaming App Marketing” shows the shift in the percentage of revenue generated by in-app advertizing (IAA).
Following the rise of hyper casual games and the slide in the number of paying users for casual, midcore and hardcore games, IAA becomes a much needed alternative and a source of additional income for any game.

The downward trend in casual games shouldn’t alarm you. It’s a result of increase in revenue generated by IAP, not the decrease of IAA revenue. In fact, in absolute terms total IAA revenue has increased.
