Your readers run uBlock Origin, not a casual blocker
Technical audiences favour thorough blockers such as uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Lite. Any recovery that leaves them out misses a large slice of your blocked traffic.
Stop losing gaming ad revenue to ad-block power users
Gaming sites typically see 35-50% of page views with an ad blocker, many of them thorough ones like uBlock Origin. AntiAdBlock Core detects them and asks those players to allow ads on your site, so your own tags load again. Your ad network stays.

What ad blocking costs a gaming site
Your network's recovery skips those players
The ad-block recovery many gaming ad networks bundle serves Acceptable Ads to visitors who leave that option on, the default in AdBlock Plus. uBlock Origin does not take part in Acceptable Ads, so those page views stay empty.
Free scripts age in weeks
A copied detection script stays the same while blockers update constantly. On a technical audience it quietly stops counting the blockers that matter.
The traffic Acceptable Ads can't recover
Acceptable Ads lets ads that meet its standard through blockers whose users keep the option on, such as AdBlock Plus. uBlock Origin does not take part in the program, and AdGuard runs no paid allowlist either. Recovery built on Acceptable Ads, including the version many gaming ad networks switch on for you, gives nothing back from those players.
AntiAdBlock Core does not depend on any allowlist. It detects uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Lite in every mode, AdGuard, Brave Shields and the rest, and shows your own notice: players allow ads on your site and keep reading the guide or watching the stream. You keep your ad network, and nothing in your stack changes.
AntiAdBlock Core vs Acceptable Ads recovery
On a uBlock-heavy audience, how revenue is recovered matters more than the brand on the box.

Anti-adblock for gaming sites, without changing your ad network
Paste one async tag or install the WordPress plugin. AntiAdBlock Core detects uBlock Origin in its full and Lite versions, AdBlock Plus, AdGuard, Brave Shields and Ghostery on desktop and mobile, and reports network-level blocking such as Pi-hole or NextDNS apart. It is kept current for you as blockers change, with nothing to update on your side.
When a player with a blocker arrives, your notice asks them to allow ads on your site and the script checks again right there. Your dashboard shows the share of page views with a blocker, and from the Max plan its breakdown by type of blocking, device, browser and country, and Blocklist Watch, from the Pro plan, shows you in the dashboard when a public filter list names your domain.

Anti-adblock for gaming sites: questions
What are Acceptable Ads?
Acceptable Ads is a program and standard that lets ads meeting its criteria through ad blockers whose users keep the option on, such as AdBlock Plus. Animated ads, autoplay video and pre-roll video are listed as unacceptable. Many recovery products and ad networks rely on it, which is why their recovery stops where the program stops.
Does uBlock Origin allow Acceptable Ads?
No. uBlock Origin does not take part in the Acceptable Ads program, so recovery built on it gives nothing back from uBlock Origin users. AntiAdBlock Core detects uBlock Origin and asks those players to allow ads on your site instead.
What share of gamers use ad blockers?
On gaming sites the typical range is 35-50% of page views, among the highest of any type of site, because the audience is young, technical and comfortable with browser extensions. Your own figure shows in the dashboard from the first day on the free plan.
Can it detect uBlock Origin Lite and uBlock Origin in Complete mode?
Yes. AntiAdBlock Core covers uBlock Origin and uBlock Origin Lite in Basic, Optimal and Complete modes on Chrome's Manifest V3, plus AdBlock Plus, AdGuard, Brave Shields and Ghostery, and keeps that coverage current as they change.
Do I have to leave my gaming ad network?
No. AntiAdBlock Core never serves, reinserts or edits ads. Once a player allows ads on your site, the tags of your current network load as usual, so it works next to whatever your network already offers.
Will a notice push my players away?
The notice asks for one thing, allowing ads on your site, in your words and with your logo from the Max plan, and players without a blocker never see it. Players blocked only at network level can be allowed to close it.
Do I have to pay ad blockers to allowlist my site?
No. Paying for an allowlist is the Acceptable Ads model, and it does not reach uBlock Origin anyway. AntiAdBlock Core asks the player directly, with no deal with any blocker or filter list.
