Slise vs Bitmedia: $5,000 and an invoice against $300 and a sign-up form, a $5 liability cap in both contracts, and what Slise’s own blog gets wrong about Bitmedia

Slise and Bitmedia both say they will put your banner in front of a crypto user who has a wallet, and that is where the resemblance ends. Slise places a leaderboard inside the application, on the DeFi front end, the block explorer or the NFT analytics tool where the wallet is already connected, and sells it through a contact form, an agreement and an invoice. Bitmedia runs an ordinary self-serve ad network over crypto websites and apps, with a $300 door, a bidding dashboard and a wallet layer bolted on in 2024 that follows an anonymous ID from a wallet connection to other pages. Slise’s own blog tells readers that networks like Bitmedia have no minimum deposit and an audience without wallets; Bitmedia’s pages say $300 and sell wallet segments by the thousand. We read both sets of documents again on 9 November 2026, the terms, the FAQs, the guides, the one Trustpilot profile that exists and the Slise blog post that names Bitmedia, and set them side by side. We have no commercial relationship with either network.

The short answer

For most advertisers, Bitmedia. It is the network you can open this afternoon: a public sign-up page, a $300 deposit by card or crypto, published bid floors, a bidding guide that tells you what $0.30 buys and what it does not, eighteen banner sizes, a marketplace for press releases and Telegram placements, and a contract with an English company you can look up. Slise is the better network for one job, reaching a user whose wallet is connected to the application the ad is in, and it sells that job the old way: a contact form, an agreement, an invoice, a minimum of $500 on the FAQ and $5,000 in the terms, a publisher list on request and a human on the campaign. The two contracts meet in one place. Each caps the company’s liability at five dollars, which tells you how both networks price their own exposure against a deposit that neither will give back. Our Bitmedia review scores it 6.5/10 and our Slise review 5.5/10; nothing we read today moves either.

What each network actually sells

Slise sells the inside of the dApp. Its launch-offer page describes “banner ads in our network of dApps that include advanced DeFi protocols, NFT analytics tools, blockchain explorers, and Web3 gaming platforms”, and the pitch is that the person seeing the ad has a wallet connected at that moment, which the page calls “extra premium traffic” by crypto standards. Targeting is built from that wallet: “wallet-specific Web3-personas, chains, and wallet activity” on the launch offer, lookalike audiences and “targeted list of wallets” on the homepage, under the promise that “We use only public blockchain data and do not play with user privacy”. The inventory is the product and the inventory is not published; the FAQ says “Yes, we can share our publisher list upon request”.

Bitmedia sells three things from one dashboard. The first is a conventional ad network over websites and apps its team has approved, bought by CPC or CPM auction. The second is a marketplace of press releases, sponsored articles, KOL posts and Telegram placements at fixed prices. The third is the wallet layer, launched on 22 October 2024 as Wallet Targeting Technology: “The journey begins when a user connects their wallet through one of our data providers or publishers. At this point, an anonymous ID is assigned to their device”, after which Bitmedia indexes the wallet’s holdings and activity and sells the result as Web3 audiences “segmented by balances (the amount of funds in the relevant cryptocurrency in their wallets), by types of investments (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Memecoins, or even DeFi), or by interests (Gaming, Gambling, Trading, NFT)”. The mechanism is different from Slise’s in a way that matters: Slise observes the wallet in the application where the ad runs, Bitmedia carries an identifier from a wallet-connect event to other pages. Neither publishes how many wallets a segment contains or what share of them it can reach in a given week; Bitmedia’s guide shows the audiences, “their descriptions, characteristics, and costs” inside the dashboard, and adds “Here, you can choose only one audience” per ad group. What that data can and cannot do is the subject of our wallet-level targeting guide.

Getting in: $300 and a sign-up form, or $500 on the FAQ and $5,000 in the contract

Bitmedia’s door is a form. The sign-up page loads for any visitor, there is no identity check at the network level, and the FAQ limits verification to the marketplace: “Depending on the service you select, KYC may be required by a KOL or website.” The deposit rule is the same in the FAQ and in clause 6.1 of the terms: $300 by card, the equivalent of $300 in crypto, and “Payments less than 300 USD are not processed and will not be credited to your balance”, with the warning that smaller amounts “are non-refundable”. The one exception is bitcoin: “The minimum deposit amount requirement shall not apply to BTC transactions.” Creatives are “approved within several hours”, up to 24 hours at weekends. After that the floors arrive feature by feature, $50 a day for budget pacing, $100 a day for Exact Bid website packages, $200 a day for Web3 audiences and $300 a day for Smart Bid, each in a guide or FAQ answer we quote in our Bitmedia pricing guide.

Slise’s door is a conversation. Every call to action on slise.xyz reads “Contact us”, and the FAQ describes the route: “reach out to us and tell us about your requirements. After that we’ll send you an agreement and an invoice”. The same FAQ says “Our minimum starting budget is $500”; the Terms of Service, effective 28 November 2025 and still the version in force today, say in clause 4.2 “Prepayment is required; minimum campaign budget: $5,000.” The FAQ also says “Yes, we have a self-serving dashboard”, but the dashboard at app.slise.xyz shows a visitor two words, “Not authorized”, and has no registration route; the /pricing, /advertisers, /publishers and /about addresses on the site were not-found pages when we checked them on 9 November. Payments are by “bank transfers, major cryptocurrencies (USDT, USDC, ETH, BTC)”. The practical difference is not the size of the number but whether it is the same number twice. At Bitmedia the FAQ and the contract agree on $300. At Slise they disagree by a factor of ten, and the contract is the document you sign, so the $500 belongs in your agreement in writing, as we also said in our Slise vs Coinzilla head-to-head. Neither network asks for a passport; where the rest of the market stands on that is in our KYC comparison.

What the contracts do with money you do not spend

Bitmedia’s answer is in capitals. Clause 7.1: “ALL AMOUNTS PAID BY ADVERTISERS AND REFLECTED IN USERS’ ACCOUNTS ARE NON-REFUNDABLE.” Clause 6.4 adds the inactivity rule, “All funded accounts that have been inactive for up to 6 months will lose access to their funds. If the account remains inactive it will be permanently deactivated and the funds will be written off with no refunds.”, and the 2026 clauses 4.14 and 7.5 put a procedure around it: no sign-in or eligible activity for “six (6) consecutive months”, a notice “at least fourteen (14) days before deactivation”, a three-month grace period, and if you come back inside it, “sixty percent (60%) of the then-outstanding deposited amount will be re-credited exclusively for the placement of advertisements on the Platform (no withdrawals or cash redemptions)”. The clause ends “Cash refunds are not available under this Clause 7.5.” There are two routes to money back. Clause 9.3 refunds unused amounts if Bitmedia terminates “for reasons not attributable to the User”, on 24 hours’ notice. And the FAQ refunds fraud: “In case if our system or administrator identifies fraud – we write off money from the publisher and return them to your account.”, with the caveat that “there is no refund for low conversion rates”.

Bitmedia’s Trustpilot profile shows the clause at work. A one-star review of 27 October 2026 asks for “my remaining unused balance of $175” back; Bitmedia’s reply of 29 October says the balance “has not been forfeited or locked”, that “Since Bitmedia isn’t a payment service or exchange, we’re unable to process withdrawals or transfers of deposited funds”, points to Section 7, lists the targeting settings it says were limiting the campaign, and offers that “If our investigation confirms it, a refund can be considered” on evidence of invalid traffic. A one-star of 26 March 2026 says “We deposited $3,000 for an advertising campaign. Approximately $1,000 was spent on delivered traffic.” and that the remaining ~$2,000 was refused under clause 7.1; it had no reply on the profile on 9 November. A one-star of 26 May 2026 about a rejected $300 campaign drew a same-day reply that “no refund was refused” and that the campaign had gone live.

Slise’s answer is shorter and says the same thing. Clause 4.2: “All payments are non-refundable unless agreed otherwise.” Clause 9: “All payments by Advertisers are considered final and non-refundable.” and “Refunds may only be issued if the Platform initiates termination of services.” The mirror of Bitmedia’s 9.3 is Slise’s 4.3, “Platform may terminate with 24 hours’ notice and refund unused balances.” The inactivity rule is six months here too, without Bitmedia’s notice or grace: “Accounts inactive for 6 months may be deactivated and residual funds forfeited unless an extension is granted.” A paused campaign is not a stopped one: “Campaigns may be paused upon request but remain active until confirmation.”

Then the two contracts converge on a number. Slise’s clause 13 reads “Maximum liability of the Company is limited to five USD ($5.00).” Bitmedia’s clause 14.5, after disclaiming “ANY AND ALL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SITES”, ends: if the released parties are found liable for anything connected with your use of the sites, “RELEASED PARTIES’ LIABILITY SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED FIVE US DOLLARS (US $5.00)”. Slise’s cap sits in a one-line clause that covers the whole agreement; Bitmedia’s sits inside a disclaimer written about the use of its websites, and whether it reaches a dispute over a $3,000 deposit is a question for the courts of England and Wales, which clause 20.1 names. Slise’s disputes go to arbitration under HKIAC rules in Hong Kong, with a company registered in the Seychelles. Either way, the deposit is the only money at risk on your side and five dollars is the most at risk on theirs. Our refund-policy comparison and our terms red-flags guide put both clauses beside the rest of the market.

Formats, targeting and the price per thousand

Bitmedia publishes its floor and explains what the floor buys. The FAQ: “The minimum bid starts from 0.25$ (CPC campaign) and 0.30$ (CPM campaign).” The bidding guide: at $0.30 CPM “Publishers charging $3, $10, or higher CPM won’t even be accessible.” Its Smart Bid strategy, which needs “a minimum daily budget of $300”, lets you “define your target CPM, for example $1.51” and mixes inventory “at $0.35 CPM” with “premium traffic valued at $8 CPM”. Exact Bid packages of curated sites start “from $100 daily”. Web3 audiences are sold at a fixed CPM per segment, one segment per ad group, with “Set a daily limit ($200 is the minimum requirement)”. A 2025 blog post from Bitmedia’s own data puts the best-performing sizes in the United States at $1.45 CPM and $0.21 CPC and Hong Kong at $1.60 and $0.39. Formats are “text ad, image ad, HTML5 banners, and Responsive Ads” in eighteen image sizes from 125×125 to 970×90; there are no pop formats, and its publisher rules forbid them. Targeting covers “languages, GEOs, device type, Operation System, VPN/data services option, Banner types (sticky/regular), and Web3 audiences”, plus frequency capping, display time in UTC, retargeting of your own clickers, and whitelists and blacklists of sites. Agencies can connect by API or “on an Open RTB 2.5 basis”.

Slise publishes a promise and a case study. “We operate on CPM basis, where the exact CPM depends on your campaign settings.” The launch offer says “we don’t take any service fee and currently offer discounted CPM rates under $10”, against “the typical $30-40 that other Web3 platforms charge”, and claims a “Click Through Rate (CTR) of 0.3-0.4%” against an “industry average of 0.1%”. The COINSBEE case study names “Slise’s competitive CPM of $6-7” with a 0.58% click-through rate and a $1.15 cost per click; QuickNode reports 0.46% and $1.30. Formats are two: “728 x 90 – Leaderboard” and “270 x 90 – Mobile Banner”, static JPG or animated GIF. Its top ten geographies by traffic are the United States, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Canada, Germany, India, Russia, Italy and France, a list worth reading before a campaign that must stay inside regulated markets. There is no CPA model, conversion tracking runs through its Pix3l tag or third-party attribution, and UTM parameters are supported. Every one of these figures is the vendor’s. The honest comparison is not Bitmedia’s $0.30 floor against Slise’s $6–7, because Bitmedia’s own guide says the floor buys the cheap end; it is Bitmedia’s “$8” premium tier against Slise’s “$6-7”, and at that level the two are in the same room. How those numbers sit against the rest of the market is in our CPM and CPC rates comparison, and the daily minimums that decide what a week costs are in our minimum budgets guide.

The publisher side

Bitmedia takes websites and apps related to bitcoin and crypto, considers other sites “individually”, and reviews an application in “1-2 business days”. The rules are specific: no paid-to-click or incentive traffic, no more than three blocks on one visible part of a page, and “Bitmedia ads may not be placed in pop unders, popups, emails, any kind of software or chats.” Earnings sit in a pending balance for “7 days (168 hours)” for traffic review, the minimum withdrawal is $20 in both the publisher FAQ and clause 6.1 of the publisher terms, and payment is “For now, only BTC”; a March 2026 announcement said “USDC payouts for publishers are coming soon” and on 9 November bitcoin was still the only rail. Withdrawals take “maximum 7 days”. The FAQ says there are no withdrawal fees; clause 6.2 of the publisher terms says Bitmedia “will not cover the fees and commissions related to any transaction” and deducts them. The network’s cut is stated, unusually: “Commonly it constitutes 10-20%, however, in some, cases it may reach up to 30% or 0%”. One line on the become-a-publisher page still reads “The minimum withdrawal amount is 0,01 BTC”, a figure the FAQ and the terms both contradict. Publishers can set a CPM floor per block and exclude 26 ad categories from gambling to political.

Slise takes dApps and says so in one line on its homepage: “Web2 ads pay pennies—we pay dollars.” The terms are the only published rules. Earnings are calculated monthly at the agreed CPM rate and “Payments are made in USDT (Ethereum ERC20), within 15 days after month-end.”; a “Minimum payout threshold applies; unpaid amounts roll over.”, and the threshold is never stated. Placements must “Maintain ad placements with at least 95% uptime.” Sites must be on domains “registered for at least three (3) months prior to joining the Platform”, not on free subdomains. Clause 7 lets Slise audit an account and request “Google Analytics data, advertising spend records, or proof of legitimate traffic sources”, and clause 8 prices a reinstatement after suspension at “an administrative restoration fee equal to 10% of unpaid earnings or $1,000 USD, whichever is lower”, with appeals reviewed within thirty days and a pending balance forfeited if the fee is not paid. Publishers may not deal directly with advertisers found through Slise for twelve months after leaving, on pain of “liquidated damages”. Referrers earn “10% of net spend by Qualified Referrals for six (6) months.” For a dApp that would rather have a stablecoin than bitcoin, Slise’s rail is the better one; for everything else, Bitmedia’s $20 floor, seven-day hold and stated commission are terms you can plan around, and our publisher ranking sets them against the rest.

What Slise’s own blog says about Bitmedia, checked against Bitmedia’s pages

Slise’s homepage links to a Substack post titled “The Red Pill for Crypto Marketers: 5 Hard Truths About User Acquisition Beyond Coinzilla”, by Oleksii Sidorov, dated 10 July 2023, whose closing paragraph begins “In 2025”. Its first section, on “Web2 ad networks like Bitmedia or Cointraffic”, makes five claims we can test against Bitmedia’s own pages as they stood on 9 November 2026.

One is right. “Bitmedia alone claims over 1 billion monthly impressions” matches Bitmedia’s homepage, which now says “1.5B+” monthly impressions. One is wrong on the page it describes. The post’s FAQ says “Bitmedia and A-Ads are known for having no minimum deposit requirement, making them easier for smaller projects to test.” Bitmedia’s FAQ and its terms require $300, waived only for bitcoin, and A-ADS’s advertiser FAQ puts its own minimum at $100, as we showed in our Slise vs Coinzilla head-to-head and again in our Slise vs A-ADS head-to-head, where the two networks turn out to share an address. One is half right. Bitmedia and Cointraffic, the post says, “are notoriously lenient with token offerings and gambling ads”. Bitmedia does carry gambling: its publisher FAQ lets a site exclude the Gambling, Betting and Lottery categories, which means the ads run where they are not excluded, and two of the three case studies on its homepage are a gaming protocol and a casino. On token offerings its terms are the opposite of lenient on paper: clause 5.5 requires “sufficient liquidity to allow currency trading”, a token contract “available for analysis by potential buyers”, a team that is “displayed on the website” with “accurate and verifiable” information, and no integrations dressed as partnerships, and clause 5.6 reserves the right to reject a token project even when all of that is met.

The fourth claim is the one the whole post rests on, and it has aged. “The audience is broad but unqualified, as most users do not have a connected wallet.” In July 2023 that described Bitmedia. Since 22 October 2024 Bitmedia has sold Web3 audiences built from wallet connections through “our data providers or publishers”, segmented by balance, holding and interest, at a fixed CPM. The argument that still stands is a narrower one: Bitmedia carries an identifier away from the wallet-connect event to other pages, publishes no match rate and no segment sizes outside the dashboard, and cannot tell you the user is connected at the moment the ad is shown, which is exactly what Slise can. The fifth claim, that such networks “got used mostly for casinos and token pumps”, is not something either company’s pages can confirm or deny; Bitmedia’s own homepage showcases a tier-one exchange, a gaming protocol and a casino. A blog post is allowed to argue for its author’s category. It is less useful when its facts about a named competitor are three years old and its minimum-deposit line is wrong on the day you read it.

Trustpilot, read properly

Bitmedia’s profile at trustpilot.com/review/bitmedia.io stood at 3.7 out of 5 from 148 reviews on 9 November 2026: 52 one-star, 3 two-star, 4 three-star, 5 four-star and 84 five-star, so 136 of 148 reviews sit at one extreme or the other. Bitmedia claimed the profile in March 2021 and pays for Trustpilot’s business features. Twenty-three reviews arrived in the last twelve months, and Bitmedia replied to six of the seven negative ones in that window, 86%, in under a day on average, the last on 29 October 2026. The pattern is consistent. Advertisers write the one-stars, about unspent balances ($175 in October, $3,000 in March, $300 in May) and about traffic they could not reconcile with their own analytics; the replies cite Section 7, offer a review on evidence of invalid traffic, and in the March case stayed silent. Publishers write most of the five-stars, several of them one line long, about payouts arriving; publishers also write a recurring one-star about accounts deactivated after “complaints from advertisers regarding the quality of traffic”, a reply Bitmedia has posted in nearly identical words in November 2024, September 2025 and October 2025. A two-star of February 2026 asked for stablecoin payouts and was told Bitmedia is “actively working on introducing stablecoin payouts, including USDT and USDC”; nine months later the FAQ still says bitcoin only.

Slise has no Trustpilot profile; the address trustpilot.com/review/slise.xyz is a not-found page, as it was on 15 October and 2 November. We found no independent customer review of Slise anywhere. Its site carries three named testimonials, from Zivoe, PLUSER and Sky Mavis, and four press quotations. A network with 148 reviews, a third of them one-star and most of those about the same clause, has a record you can read before you deposit. A network with none has not been tested in public, which is not the same as having passed.

Which door for which campaign

Choose Bitmedia when the campaign needs to start this week and be measured by your own numbers: an exchange, a token with a listing date, an iGaming operator, a wallet that wants to test a Web3 segment without a sales call. Budget $300 to open, $200 a day if you want the wallet audiences and $300 a day for Smart Bid, read clause 7.1 before you deposit more than the first month needs, and keep your own tracking on every click because the refund route for bad traffic runs on your evidence. Choose Slise when the product lives on-chain and the user you want is the one with a wallet connected right now: a DeFi protocol, an infrastructure provider, a Web3 game, a hardware wallet. Go in with the $500 written into the agreement rather than the $5,000 in the terms, ask for the publisher list and the payout threshold before you pay the invoice, and treat the first campaign as the due diligence the empty public record cannot provide. The other in-dApp network, HypeLab, opens at $100 from a public form, and we set both of today’s networks against it in our HypeLab vs Slise head-to-head and our HypeLab vs Bitmedia head-to-head. For Bitmedia against the networks that sell the crypto press rather than the wallet, read our Coinzilla vs Bitmedia head-to-head and our Cointraffic vs Bitmedia head-to-head; against the $10,000 wallet-graph platform, our Blockchain-Ads vs Bitmedia head-to-head.

The bottom line

Slise and Bitmedia agree that your deposit stops being yours when it lands, and that their own exposure is worth five dollars. Everything else is a choice between a published door and a negotiated one. Bitmedia prints its minimum, its bid floors, its daily floors, its format list, its publisher cut and its payout terms, answers 86% of the people who complain about it in public, and will not give back the $175 or the $2,000 that two of them asked for. Slise prints a $500 FAQ and a $5,000 contract, two banner sizes, a payout rail in one stablecoin and no threshold, and answers through a contact form. Slise’s case for itself, that a wallet connected inside the app is worth more than a reader on a news site, is the right argument for the right campaign; its blog makes it with a minimum-deposit claim Bitmedia’s own FAQ contradicts and a wallet claim that Bitmedia’s product has overtaken. Both verdicts stand after today’s re-read: 6.5/10 for the network that tells you the terms before you ask, 5.5/10 for the one that makes you ask. Our full ranking places both, and our Web3 ad networks ranking sorts them by how the wallet is actually reached.

Slise vs Bitmedia FAQ

Is Slise or Bitmedia better for crypto advertising?

For most advertisers Bitmedia: a $300 self-serve door, published bid floors from $0.25 CPC and $0.30 CPM, eighteen banner sizes, wallet-based Web3 audiences from the same dashboard and an English contract. Slise is better for one job, reaching a user whose wallet is connected inside a DeFi app, explorer or Web3 game, and it sells that through a contact form under a contract with a $5,000 minimum. Both contracts cap the company’s liability at $5.00. Our scores are 6.5/10 and 5.5/10.

What is the minimum budget at Slise vs Bitmedia?

Bitmedia requires a $300 first deposit by card or in crypto, waived for bitcoin, and adds daily floors only for optional features: $50 for budget pacing, $100 for Exact Bid packages, $200 for Web3 audiences and $300 for Smart Bid. Slise’s launch-offer FAQ says $500, while its terms of service say “minimum campaign budget: $5,000”; the contract figure governs unless your agreement says otherwise, so get the quoted number in writing.

Do Slise and Bitmedia refund unused balances?

No. Bitmedia’s clause 7.1 declares all amounts paid non-refundable in capitals; the exceptions are a refund if Bitmedia terminates for reasons not attributable to you and a re-credit of clicks its anti-fraud team confirms as fraud. An account idle for six months loses access to its balance, and reviving it within a further three months returns 60% as ad credit, never cash. Slise’s terms make every payment “final and non-refundable”, refundable only if Slise itself ends the service, and allow idle balances to be forfeited after six months.

Does Bitmedia have no minimum deposit, as Slise’s blog says?

No. Slise’s 2023 blog post says Bitmedia and A-ADS are “known for having no minimum deposit requirement”. Bitmedia’s FAQ and clause 6.1 of its terms require $300 by card or the equivalent in crypto, do not credit smaller payments and do not refund them; only bitcoin deposits are exempt. A-ADS’s own advertiser FAQ puts its minimum at $100.

How do Slise and Bitmedia pay publishers?

Bitmedia pays in bitcoin only, from a $20 minimum, on request after a seven-day pending period, usually within seven days, and states its commission as commonly 10–20%; USDC payouts have been “coming soon” since March 2026. Slise pays in USDT on Ethereum only, within 15 days after month-end, from a threshold its terms do not state, and charges a suspended publisher a restoration fee of 10% of unpaid earnings or $1,000, whichever is lower.

Does either network have reviews on Trustpilot?

Bitmedia does: 3.7 out of 5 from 148 reviews on 9 November 2026, 52 of them one-star and 84 five-star, with 23 reviews in the last twelve months and replies to 86% of the negative ones. The one-stars are mostly advertisers asking for unspent balances back; the five-stars are mostly publishers paid on time. Slise has no Trustpilot profile and we found no independent customer review of it anywhere.
