[Add a promo](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/console/promo-add.md) to your game and activate it on the **Promos** tab in [the Yandex Games Console](https://games.yandex.com/console){.external}.

All promos undergo moderation. To pass, follow the [rules](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/console/promo-rules.md).

## Enabling a promo in the Console {#promo-enable}

1. Go to the **Promos** tab and click **Create a promo**.

1. Fill in the fields:

   #|
   || **Field** | **Description** | **Required** ||
   || **Activated** | The option will be enabled if moderators approve the promo. |  ||
   || **Promo start** |

   Specify the start date and time of the promo. The selected time must be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 72 hours from the current moment. The actual start time may be delayed until moderation is complete.

   The system uses the user's time zone.

   || **Promo type** |

   Affects how the promo is displayed in the storefront and in analytics.

   - **Offer** — promos with a direct purchase benefit: discount percentage, multiplier, bonus amount, promo code, starter pack.

   If a promo combines mechanics and a discount, choose based on the primary content.

   «—» is a legacy option for older promos.

   {% note info %}

   By default, promos are set to Russian. For text fields (**Title** and **Description**) you can:

   - Add another language — click ![SVG](../_images/icons/add-purchase.svg) and select a language from the list.
   - Remove an unused language — click ![SVG](../_images/icons/delete-button.svg) to the right of it. Russian cannot be removed.

   {% endnote %}

1. Click **Submit for moderation**.

   Moderators will review your promo for compliance with the requirements, which usually takes 3−5 business days.

   You will see the review results in the Console:

   - After passing moderation, the promo will appear in the [Discounts and promotions](https://games.yandex.com/promos){.external} section and other featured collections in the Yandex Games catalog.
   - If the promo does not pass moderation, it will not be added to the catalog. The reasons for rejection will be sent to the email address specified in your [developer account](https://yandex.com/dev/games/doc/en/console/manage-account.md#profile-manage).

1. After the promo ends, disable it in the game via remote flag configuration, or upload a new archive to the Console with the promo disabled and submit it for moderation.
