When you are finished filling all the needed info - click Done

  1. Finalising setup

You can create several ad sources within the same mediation group. Once you are done creating them - you should see a final waterfall with your networks and newly created BidMachine ad sources.

If you want to change the prices of created ad sources - you should not only change the eCPM but also change bm_pf value in the parameters of it.

🚧

Having several BidMachine custom events will not affect latency in terms of filling the ads because BM SDK will return results instantly as the ad will be fetched prior to calling waterfall ad networks
