Introduction to MRAID

What is an MRAID playable?

MRAID stands for Mobile Rich Media Ad Interface Definitions and is a standard set for mobile rich media ads to be run on mobile apps by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB). An MRAID playable consists of API commands which are designed to adjust the ad according to the mobile operating system and app environments it's being displayed in. A playable ad is a mini-game as an ad within a game, often also called micro-games. A playable ad is often used to give the user a preview of the game before installing it.

MRAID Requirements

Make sure to consult IAB MRAID Best Practices Document for the most common mistakes, MRAID creative requirements, and debugging tips.

How do I get started with serving MRAID playable ads on Chartboost?

Making MRAID playable requires the following compliance:

• One single bundled standalone HTML file
• Maximum size 3MB
• The MRAID library will be available in the playable during ad playback
• Check mraid.getState() at the start of the playable because it could already be DEFAULT
• The ready event will be triggered if the state was LOADING at first
• mraid.open(url) needs to be called when the user clicks on a CTA
• The close button will be added by our system, therefore there is no use to call mraid.close() within your playable

MRAID Non-Supported Standards v2.0

MRAID Playables using the below methods will not work on the Chartboost network (at this time). Please make sure your Playable does not include any of them.

Playable or Interactive End Cards

‍A playable or interactive end card is a creative asset that is shown after the video ends (or is skipped). Such end cards are typically more engaging compared to static image end cards.

Chartboost DSP now supports running playable end cards after the video creative ends (or is skipped). Please reach out to your Chartboost account manager if you would like to use playable end cards in your advertising efforts.
