VKontakte has introduced advertising privileges for games and applications hosted on the social network platform. This was announced to App2Top by the head of the VKontakte gaming platform Maxim Babichev.

The promotion applies not only to advertisements, but also to advertising records with a built-in button. For all other advertisers, the cost of ads will remain the same.

“We support developers launching products on our platform, so we gave them a 50% discount. Thus, internal applications on the platform gain advantages over brands,” Maxim Babichev said.

In addition, since May 31, the social network has removed the ability to pay for advertising applications using votes, the virtual currency of VKontakte. The purchase of ads will be carried out only for real money.
