Rewarded Ads
Watching in-game ads is a way of obtaining additional Diamonds or other bonuses.
There are several types of rewarded ads, but all of them are optional and can be avoided altogether if you have the monthly subscription.

Types
Rewarded ads can be categorized into:
- Double BPS and double BPC ads;
- regular Diamond ads;
- Red Bacteria ads;
- research ads;
- idle production ads.
Double BPS/BPC
Double BPS/BPC ads are accessible by tapping on the TV icon in the main game screen. You can chose to have one of the possible bonuses active at the same time:
The double BPS and BPC ads should be available again immediately after the effect is expired.
Regular Diamond
Regular Diamond ads are accessible from the Premium menu. If the double BPS/BPC ad is not under cooldown, it can also be accessed by clicking on the TV icon in the main game screen.
They always give 
5 as a reward and have an 8 hour long cooldown which is not shared with other ad types.
Red Bacteria
Regardless of the reward offered by the Red Bacteria, it is possible to increase it by watching a short video ad.
After the watching the ad, there is a cooldown of approximately 1 hour, where Red Bacteria ads are not available and it's possible to select only the free reward. The cooldown for Red Bacteria ads is in no way related to cooldown for other ad types.
If you have anthe ad-free version, then you can receive the better reward without watching ads.

Research
Research ads reduce the remaining research time of a selected action by 1 hour.
Up to two ads can be watched before an 8 hour cooldown becomes active. To view the option to watch the ad, press and hold on an active research action.
Idle Production
When entering the game, you may be offered to watch an ad to double the amount of Bacteria that were produced while you were away. This type of rewarded ad is available if at least a minute has passed since the last time when the game was opened.

| Red Bacteria | 1 hour |
| Regular diamond | 8 hours |
| Double BPS/Double BPC | 2 hours |
| Idle production | 1 minute |
