Google Adverts later this month will replace its insurance policies for adverts that supply rewards to permit oblique or non-monetary gadgets to be provided as rewards. This coverage change will occur on October 31, 2023.
Google stated that direct financial gadgets stay disallowed as rewards below any circumstance, so there isn’t any change there.
I acquired this e-mail through my AdMob adverts account however some AdSense publishers are receiving it as nicely.
Google wrote that there are three circumstances to this exception:

The e-mail goes on to say:
