3Add your ad

Image

Drop the image here, or choose it from your files.

PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP, up to 150 KB, ideally 600 × 500 so it stays sharp. Animation has to stop within 15 seconds and can’t flash more than three times a second.

Dark-mode version (optional)

Readers who pick dark mode see this one instead, so a white ad doesn’t glare on the dark page.

PNG, JPG, GIF or WebP, up to 150 KB, ideally 600 × 500 so it stays sharp. Animation has to stop within 15 seconds and can’t flash more than three times a second.

Add tracking such as ?utm_source=theleonida to see the visits it sends in your own analytics.

Screen readers read it out in place of the image. Say what the ad says, for example “Example Coffee: two drinks for one, all week.”

5Ad rules and how booking works

We check every ad before it runs and reply within one working day. Advertisers have no say in what The Leonida writes, and we’re never paid for coverage, as our editorial policy says.

We turn down ads for:

  • Free or early copies of GTA 6, or game keys from unofficial sellers
  • Cheats, mod menus, modded accounts or money drops
  • Leaked footage, files or builds
  • Gambling, or adult content
  • Anything made to look like Rockstar Games, or like one of our stories

How booking works. Sending this request holds your dates for 3 days. We email you an invoice and the ways to pay, and the dates are booked once your payment arrives. Nothing is charged until then. You can cancel for a full refund up to 7 days before your first day. The advertising terms have the details.
