Funding your ad balance
Cgmimm Ads is prepaid. You add money to your balance, your campaigns spend it down. There are no monthly fees, no commitments, and no minimum spend per month.
The $10 minimum
The smallest amount you can fund is $10. Why? It's enough to actually publish a campaign and see real data. Anything smaller would barely return enough impressions to learn from.

How charges look on your statement
Charges show up as CGMIMM ADS on your card statement. Each top-up is a single charge — we don't auto-renew, you don't get nickel-and-dimed.
Refunds
Unspent balance is fully refundable to your original payment method. Email support to request a refund and the unused portion goes back to your card within 5 business days.
Spent budget — money already paid out for impressions or clicks you received — is non-refundable except in the case of platform error (we billed you for invalid clicks, your campaign kept serving after you paused it, etc.).
💡 Pro tip
Start with $25–50 for your first campaign. It's enough budget to learn how the platform serves, whether your creative is working, and what a realistic CPC looks like in your category — without betting big before you know what's working.
Daily budget vs. total budget
When you build a campaign, you'll set a daily budget (the max we'll spend per day) and optionally a total budget (the max we'll spend across the whole campaign). Once either cap is hit, your ads pause automatically — they won't drain past your account balance.
⚠ Avoid
Don't fund $10, build a campaign with a $50 daily budget, and walk away. The campaign will pause on day one when your balance hits $0. Either match the daily budget to what you're willing to fund, or top up to a level that supports several days of spending.
