SponsorBar ad policy.

We review every ad before it can run.

Last updated September 1, 2026

Required

  • A real company or product name
  • A short, accurate slogan that fits the compact placement
  • An HTTPS destination controlled by or authorized for the advertiser
  • A PNG, JPEG, or WebP logo under 1 MB
  • A readable background and text combination
  • Claims that can be supported

Not accepted

  • Adult sexual content or services
  • Gambling or real-money gaming
  • Political persuasion, candidates, ballot measures, or issue advocacy
  • Weapons, malware, surveillance tools, or instructions for abuse
  • Deceptive financial, health, employment, or income claims
  • Impersonation, misleading system alerts, fake macOS controls, or forced-download destinations
  • Discrimination, harassment, hate, or graphic violence

Creative files

SponsorBar verifies the file type and size, chooses light or dark text for contrast, and publishes the reviewed logo from private storage. Animation, audio, tracking pixels, SVG, and executable creative are not supported.

Review and suspension

We may reject an ad or pause it later if the link, claims, ownership, safety, or legal context changes. Unspent credit stays in the advertiser account unless it is adjusted, charged back, or refunded.
