Watching in-game ads is a way of obtaining additional Diamonds or other bonuses.
There are several types of rewards, which can also be claimed without watching the ads if you have the monthly subscription.

Types
Most reward types have a cooldown before they can be claimed again. This cooldown is not shared across various types.
In the case of research ads, the cooldown becomes active after watching a second ad.
| Type | Effect | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|
| Boost | Doubles your BPS or BPC for 2 hours | none |
| Diamond | Gives you  5
|
8 hours |
| Red Bacteria | Improves current the Red Bacteria reward | 1 hour |
| Idle production | Doubles the amount of Bacteria that were produced while the game was closed | 1 minute |
| Research | Speeds up an active research by 1 hour | 8 hours |
Boost
This ad type becomes available after reaching the third planet (Earth).
It is accessible by tapping on the blue play icon in the main game screen.
You can chose to have one or both of the possible boosts active at the same time:
Watching one ad can grant one of the chosen boosts for the duration of 2 hours. This can be stacked up to 10 hours.
Diamond
Regular Diamond ads are accessible from the Premium menu.
They always give 5 as a reward and have an 8 hour long cooldown that 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.
