Why did I see a wine ad? Isn't this game for kids?

Hey Kabam, concerned parent here.

Why did I just see a ad for wine in a game rated E for everyone? Doesn't that go against the ESRB guidelines?

    If you want to ask a question directly to Kabam, you have to:

    @Kabam Miike @Kabam Vydious etc..

    or else they won't ever even notice it

    I think these ads are generated based on the individual person. I've noticed I get alot of ads for mobile games and other apps because I spend alot of time playing them, while my other friends get alot of ads for stuff like wish and letgo and other selling sites because they use them alot. It seems the ad algorithm learns from your behavior and adjusts what ads you get accordingly.
  • Hey All,

    Yes, these ads are based on some external factors, but if you see an Ad that you think is inappropriate to be played in the game (Casino Games, or an Ad for Wine, as you mentioned), please report that Ad either to one of us Mods here, or to the Support Team.

    OP: Please let me know if you have more information on this Ad. A name of the product, etc? I'll start investigating this as well.

    Maybe there can be a link to block an add someone personally feels is inappropriate. That particular ad will not show to that player again.

    Or maybe add an age to player profile just for the purposes of separating adult ads from others.

    Yea.... It doesn't really work like that. They are using a framework for the advertisements. I believe Unity Ads and there is no such option to give a user the option to block an advertisement.

    @Kabam Miike don't know if you are still following this discussion, but the ad showed up again for me. It's for Nobilo. I tried adding a picture as well. And by the way, I don't buy wine off my phone, so I don't know why it wpuld be showing up for me, unless my 5 year old is looking this stuff up. Thank you for your time and patience.

    Goes along with the mafia game where you smuggle drugs and cut body parts off of people for revenge.
    I don't think there's anyone monitoring the ads. I'm suprised Pornhub doesn't have an ad.

    These ads are meant to target your personal interests. Like what @Bigbowlr said, they look at sites you visit and the apps you use more often, and they try to come up with an ad that is most likely gonna attract your attention. I myself have been getting ads for games, because i mainly play games on my phone. If anything, you should go to privacy in settings, select advertising, and enable limit ad tracking. Im not precisely sure if itll work, but its worth a shot. :)
