Advertising on Gyvio

At a glance

Who can advertise

• Only business accounts in good standing can promote. Any account can switch to a business account in Settings.
• You can only promote your own posts. Giveaway posts can't be promoted.
• We may refuse to let an account advertise, for example while we check it for fraud.

How a promotion works

1. You pick one of your posts, who should see it, an optional button (visit your website, send you a message, or view your profile), a budget in Dash Coins and how many days it runs (1 to 30).
2. You say what your ad is about, and confirm it is true and follows these rules.
3. You pay: your budget is held from your wallet (it is no longer yours to spend, but it has not been charged yet) and your ad is sent for review.
4. Once approved, it runs from the day you chose, in For You, among other posts, and never more than once in any ten posts someone sees.
5. It stops when its budget's worth of views have qualified, its days are over, you stop it, or we do.

You can pause, restart and stop a promotion yourself, in the app or on Gyvio Business (business.gyvio.app).

Every ad is reviewed

A person at Gyvio looks at every ad before it runs: the post, its link, what it says it is about, and the business behind it. We usually decide within a day. We may turn an ad down if it breaks these rules or our Community Guidelines, looks misleading, links somewhere other than it says, or for any reason we explain to you. If we turn it down, all of its coins come back to your wallet straight away. Approval means only that we are willing to show the ad; it does not mean we checked every claim in it, and it does not move responsibility for the ad from you to us.

What you pay for

You pay 1 Dash Coin for each qualified view, and nothing for any other view. The price is fixed for a promotion when you make it.

A view qualifies when a real person was shown your ad in the Gyvio app and watched it for a few seconds and, depending on their account, did something that shows they paid attention, such as liking, commenting, sharing, following you or tapping your button. What it takes depends on each person's trust level and account; we don't publish the exact rules, so that they can't be gamed. Views from new, automated, linked or suspicious accounts never qualify. Each person counts at most once a day, on up to 3 days of a promotion, so it reminds people without spending your budget on the same few; after that it isn't shown to them again. People who haven't seen it yet come first. Promotions made before 25 September 2026 count each person once.

Views that don't qualify (people who scrolled past, or accounts that can't qualify) are still shown, but they are free. Your dashboard shows them separately.

We do not promise any number of views, clicks, followers or sales.

Where the coins go

A view is charged 7 days after it qualifies. Until then its coin stays held, and if we find in that time that the view was fake (for example the account was a bot, or linked to yours), it is not charged at all.

Where the coin for each qualified view goes depends on where the ad was shown:

If we add other places where ads can appear, we will say here where the coins for those go before any ad runs there.

The places an ad can appear

• For You: your post, among other posts, never more than once in any ten posts someone sees.
• Chats and rooms: your website's icon and a line of text (up to 60 characters), marked "Ad", on top of the message box for up to three minutes. A tap opens your link. We fetch your website's icon once and show our own copy, so people never load anything from your website just by seeing your ad. It is never chosen from anything anyone writes in a chat, and never shown to Gyvio+ members. The same ad can be shown to someone again a few hours later; only the first time can count, so showing it again costs you nothing.
• Gyvio+ creators' posts, profiles and stories: your post or line as a card in a post's comments, your post in a creator's profile feed, or a small ad above the reply bar on a creator's story (the same one each time someone opens that story, counted once), only on creators who have ads switched on. You can leave it to any creator who takes ads, or name up to 20 creators, and then it shows there only on theirs.
• Search: your post at the top of search results it matches.
• The stories rail: your post between people's stories, after a few, and at most three a day for anyone.
• "People you may know": your business, suggested to follow. Here, a follow is what counts.

Coins that come back

• Turned down in review, or stopped before it went live: all of it comes back straight away.
• After it has run: whatever was not charged comes back once its last views have been checked, which can take up to 7 days after it ends.
• Coins come back as the same kind they left as: if part of your budget came from earned coins, that part comes back as earned coins.
• Coins charged for qualified views are not refunded. Buying Dash Coins is final, as our Dash Coins terms say.
• If your account is banned, promotions stop and coins still held for them are forfeited with the rest of your wallet.

What can't be advertised

On top of everything our Community Guidelines don't allow, you can't promote:

• betting, gambling and lotteries,
• loans and credit,
• crypto, forex, trading signals and investments of any kind,
• network marketing (MLM) and "earn money" schemes,
• weapons,
• drugs, tobacco, vapes and alcohol,
• adult content, escort services and dating,
• medicines, supplements sold as cures, and medical claims,
• politics, elections, candidates and parties,
• replicas, counterfeits and pirated goods,
• paying for likes, followers, views or other engagement (outside Gyvio's own ad rewards).

Your ad, and the law

• Your ad must be true, and you must be able to back up what it claims. Prices, offers and availability must be real.
• You must have the right to everything in it: music, pictures, names, logos and anyone who appears in it.
• You are responsible for following the advertising law where your ad is shown. In Nigeria, the Advertising Regulatory Council of Nigeria (ARCON) requires some adverts to be vetted and approved before they are published; if yours needs approval, get it first and give us the approval number when you promote.
• Your button's link must go where it says it goes, work, and not hide behind a link shortener.
• You are responsible for your dealings with people who respond to your ad. Gyvio is not part of any sale or service between you and them.

Who sees your ad, and what you see

• You choose the country and, if you want, interests. We decide who sees your ad from that, and from the kinds of posts people watch on Gyvio (their hashtags).
• We never let you target people by age, gender, anything they write in chats, or any other private detail, and we never give you anyone's personal information.
• You see totals: views, qualified views, what people did, where views came from and cities. Any city with fewer than 10 viewers is counted under "Other", so nobody can be picked out.
• People who see your ad can ask why, and can hide promotions from you.

Limits

• A promotion's budget is at least 1,000 Dash Coins, and at least 200 Dash Coins a day.
• You can have up to 10 promotions open at once, and one per post.
• Until your business registration (in Nigeria, your CAC number) has been checked, you can commit up to 100,000 Dash Coins a month to promotions.

Fake views and our rights

We check views for fraud automatically and by hand, before and after they qualify. We don't charge you for views we find to be fake. Trying to inflate your own results (with other accounts, bots, or by paying people to engage) breaks these rules. We may pause or stop a promotion, turn down future ones, remove an ad that turns out to break these rules after it was approved, or suspend or ban an account, as described in our Terms.

Records

We keep a record of every promotion: what ran, where, when, who reviewed it, what it was charged and what came back, for as long as financial and advertising law requires (up to 7 years).

Changes and questions

We may change the price, limits or rules. A change never affects the price of a promotion you have already paid for. We will show the current rules in the app and tell you in the app before a price changes.
