Hello,

We would like to block ad serving from a certain country in one of our apps. So far we have tried several workarounds to minimize ad serving - but none work 100% of the time:

1) Create a mediation group for that country and ad units and set eCPM to the max value - 1000$: still some impressions and clics are being registered.
2) Set the minimum eCPM of these ad units to 1000$ for that country: still some impressions and clics are being registered.
3) Block ads by not requesting them if Android TelephonyManager returns that user is in that particular country: still some impressions and clics.

So how can we 100% block an ad unit to answer ad requests just a certain country or group of countries?

It would be truly helpful to do this from our Admob Control Panel.

Our app is officially distributed only in Google Play Store - it's an Android app.

We have also blocked this country in Google Play Console to prevent downloads from these country.

Hi,

This forum can only assist integrating the Mobile Ads SDK into apps, and you are asking about blocking ads in a specific country. I can only suggest you contact the AdMob forum for assistance. With that being said, I also saw a stackoverflow article that may help.
