Get rewarded ads coins worth value in USD?

[rgouzal]

I am looking for a way where to get rewarded ads coins and use it as a way of discount on customer checkout, so customer watch ads collect coins in some days and based on how much they collected a discount is applied but the issue is I can't find a documentation that shows how to get worth value in USD or any other currency for the coins that was rewarded. Is there any work around? I have seen some mobile apps that have that feature already integrated so I am wondering that it is possible.

I think you want react-native-google-mobile-ads - https://github.com/invertase/react-native-google-mobile-ads - you show a rewarded ad and you set the value of the reward, track that (on the server, perhaps with @react-native-firebase/firestore ? and go from there ?

@mikehardy You mean Reward amount can be set? where?
I meant from what mentioned here https://docs.page/invertase/react-native-google-mobile-ads/displaying-ads#rewarded-ads when doing:

    const unsubscribeEarned = rewarded.addAdEventListener(
      RewardedAdEventType.EARNED_REWARD,
      reward => {
        console.log('User earned reward of ', reward);
      },
    );

The reward object will actually have amount of coins rewarded, for example I think some ads when its showed up it gets always 10 coins which I think its not the same real worth value in USD for the ad shown. How can I convert that coins to USD currency based value?

@rgouzal this is not specific to this module, you'll need to read how to do this from the upstream documentation, for example

https://support.google.com/admanager/answer/7386053?hl=en
https://support.google.com/admob/answer/7311747?hl=en
https://www.blog.google/products/admob/beginners-guide-to-admob-rewarded-ads/

you decide the value, you decide how to verify/track it

@mikehardy Thanks for explaining more in details, I was confused of how to design a rewarding system but I think I understand now. How can I estimate profit of 1 full video ad for a user tough? Is there any source or page has profit estimation?
My idea is I want users to be able use points or rewards to purchase items or to cash them out.

With apologies this is out of the scope of this module, we're here to make sure you can use the google mobile ads SDKs in react-native but the "how" and the "why is best handled with upstream documentation + videos etc
