Connect game advertising
Open Advertising in a game’s menu to retain its heading and tabs with the game pinned. Advertising in the sidebar opens a separate workspace with a game picker. Then select the advertising account.
How to use it
- Open Advertising from a game’s menu or the sidebar. In the separate workspace, open the large game selector in the heading: icon, name and subtitle. Use search; the current game is highlighted.
- Save account keys in connection settings or Game access. In a new test, select the launch account; its name and avatar appear in the group.
- Open Ads Manager with a billing account accessible to the chosen key. The helper finds the matching tab and reports which account is open if they differ.
- Select Refresh to load campaigns for that account.
Advice and practical context
Account and game are separate axes
The advertising account determines available campaigns and spend, while the selected game sets analysis context. A group game depends on the key owner's group rights. Successful campaign reads do not imply write permission.
Diagnose without broad access
For an empty list, verify account, game, scope, and refresh status. Add only the required permission. Do not create a new key before reading the exact message or treat missing campaigns as proof of zero spend.
When one account advertises several games, a wrong game selection can produce a plausible but incorrect report. Verify campaign ID and target Universe. For group workflows, prefer a dedicated automation key with minimal permissions.
Technical detailsCalculations, permissions and behavior
Multiple advertising accounts
In the top row of a new test, choose the account with its avatar from saved advertising keys and keys in Game access. Ads Manager is on the right. Available settings load automatically when opening the form or changing the account, and are checked again after returning from Ads Manager.
A failed connection shows its cause and a retry action. MARPLA verifies that key and its accessible billing accounts. The name and avatar identify the key owner; the billing account is Roblox's separate payment account.
The selected key is saved with the group: resuming creation and managing its campaigns use that connection even after the current key changes. Legacy campaigns without a saved binding are not assigned an arbitrary owner. The helper finds an open Ads Manager tab with a matching billing account.
If accounts differ, switch in Roblox and refresh verification; use Connect when permissions are missing. Changing the account in a new form resets audience settings. Key secrets are never returned to the browser.
Helper 1.4.2 reconnects to Ads Manager automatically: if an existing tab does not respond, checking settings opens a new background tab. An existing Roblox draft is not reloaded. Goals and targeting options are loaded for the selected advertising account; a different account is never used for launch.
Permission checks without false warnings
MARPLA first reads the grants declared by the key itself. If the required advertising grant is present but a specific report returns 403, the UI does not claim the permission is missing: check the key owner, ad-account access, Universe access and Roblox report availability. The gear menu closes when you click outside it; switching connections happens in a dedicated dialog without exposing stored secrets.
Game, sync and connection controls
In the standalone advertising workspace, open the large game selector: its icon, name and subtitle help distinguish games. The list includes search and highlights the current selection. Choose the current game from the disclosure card with a prominent chevron.
The sync button before the gear requests fresh data for the selected range and spins while the request is running. Its tooltip contains the last sync time instead of using a separate badge. Reconnect and Disconnect are inside the gear menu.
Disconnect requires confirmation and stops new ad data without deleting saved reports. Advertising opened from a selected game stays below its heading and tabs with the game pinned. Advertising in the sidebar retains its separate page with a game picker.
Audience gender and access
Opening a new test checks the installed helper and loads Roblox audience options automatically. Installation instructions are hidden when the ads module responds. The older standalone benchmarks helper gets an update action for the unified version; a timeout alone never means the extension is missing.
Open Ads Manager in the same browser profile to obtain settings. Male and female targeting is enabled after Roblox confirms support and is passed to every campaign. If a key or required permission is missing, select Connect Roblox Ads.
Account verification requires ad.billing:read. Click Create in the main window to submit campaigns directly to Roblox, without a separate confirmation page or waiting for image moderation. MARPLA then retrieves moderation and delivery statuses.
Submission and background synchronization share one completion request per group so created campaigns do not receive a false failure message. The helper submits the group immediately after it is saved. A connection failure is recorded on the group; retrying restores the same request without a new group and preserves created campaigns.
Reopening the page automatically resumes an unfinished submission; a failed request is never reported as created advertising. After reinstalling the helper, open the saved group and select Complete creation to restore its selection, budget and original request IDs. New images use a creator jointly allowed by Assets Read and Write: first the game owner, then the key owner, then a unique other explicit creator.
Multiple alternatives require clarifying the key Targets. Previews use the saved original even when Roblox returns PrivateImage. If Roblox explicitly rejects a past start and no campaign has been created, the helper moves the shared start to the next valid slot while preserving the budget and selection.
For Engagement, the helper omits manual audience criteria: Roblox forbids that field and selects the audience automatically. Update the helper to 1.4.10. After updating, reload open MARPLA and Roblox tabs so they connect to the new extension context.
