Ad

An ad (short for advertisement) is a video clip that is shown to players as part of the "freemium" concept of the Asphalt games.

Random ads are shown to non-VIP players at various moments during the game. They are deactivated for players with a VIP status who have paid real money for an in-game purchase. This does not affect ads that can be watched intentionally in order to obtain extra features.

Daily ads
Players can watch 10 ads per day by tapping on the red and yellow box icon in the upper right corner of the main screen.

Possible rewards: The 2019 Spring Update has reduced the Credits reward from to.

Pro Kit Box extra cards
Since the 2019 Spring Update, players are given the option to watch an ad after opening a Pro Kit Box to get an extra card twice per day. There has to be a free additional slot in the player's inventory to enable the ad option. For boxes that only grant one specific card, the extra card will be of the same kind, so players have the possibility to increase their number of rare Pro Kits by using the ad option only for these boxes.

Boosters
Before starting a race, players can watch an ad to get a free Nitro Starter or Tuning Kit. This can be repeated 5 times per day and booster.

Ad boosters are different from bought/free bosters: While the latter ones last for a certain period of time (Nitro Starter: 10 min., Tuning Kit: 15 min.), ad boosters are active for 1 race and can be accumulated, no matter when a race is started or how long it is. This can be useful and effective for races with 2 or 3 laps as well as in situations when players have to wait for competitors in Multiplayer races.

Double Credits
After a race, players are given the option to watch an ad in order to double their earned Credits twice per day. It is recommended to reserve this option for races with a high Credits output, namely Season 9, McLaren Legends Season or long Multiplayer races.

There is a upper limit of around for Career Mode races up to which the double Credits option is offered. If a player earns more Credits than this limit, the option is not displayed. This does not apply to Multiplayer races.

Championship tires
During Championships, players can watch 3 ads per day to get an extra tire.
