Banner Ads: These ads generally cover a small part of the screen and can help you generate $2-$7 CPM. This is not a huge revenue generation way but yes, can help you increase the count.

Exit Game Ads: This is a new concept and most of the virtual money games have applied to their latest version of games. When a player wishes to exit the game, you can showcase a last full-size ad to let the users click on something similar to their interests. This is similar to interstitial ads but displayed with the exit button in it.
Icon Drop: The concept is simple, your existing game is allowed to send push notification to the users & it is used to promote other apps or games. AirPush – a mobile app company that specializes in it. However, this idea is available for Android technology only, not others.
Offerwalls: The idea is quite similar to affiliation. When a user gains the in-game points or coins or chips in return for installing and playing other games. When this happens, the game owner will get paid by the owners of an installed app.
Coupon Offers: This is a new idea of rewarding a user who is good at gaming skills by offering a discount on something worth it for a player. For example a 10% pizza discount after completing a really hard level of a game. This is not so popular idea but some domestic game apps have started using them to attract gamers.
Premium Version: The freemium type of games are the best examples. The idea is quite simple. The Game Developers develop two versions of games. One is the light version which is free for all, no need to pay a cent to install and play. The second one is a premium version. Only pro users can play it after paying some extra bucks via in-app purchases.
Level Upgrades: They keep some levels in the game for the pro users who wish to play the next level while others are free. But the paid levels are unique, innovative, and alluring ones. Generally, they divide the games into different segments and sell the paid ones individually.

The game owners provide an option to play a game without ads but to remove ads from a game, a gamer must have to pay a little amount to the game developers.
More Time to Finish Levels: This is suitable for virtual money games where time is a vital factor to pass a single stage. The game owner delivers some more time on each level to a player after he completes a transaction of a certain amount to the game owner.
1+ Life & More Energy: Generally, a gamer has 3 lives to play a game and when they all are gone, a player should have to start from the basic level. 1+ life helps to clear the level even after no chances is remaining. The same concept with “More Energy” too. This concept is good for Racing kind of apps and fighting apps. More energy means more fuel in the racing app and more power in the fighting app. To get this, a gamer should have to pay the game owner.
