Ramadan operator checklist for MENA F2P (offers, dayparting, creative)
IslamicFinder estimates Ramadan 2026 from 18 February to 19 March (moon-sighting dependent). Session timing and creative tone shift across MENA—label dates as estimates until local sighting.
Ramadan changes when players are online and which creatives are acceptable.
2026 date estimate
IslamicFinder Ramadan 2026 estimates the month beginning Wednesday 18 February 2026 and ending Thursday 19 March 2026, with Eid al-Fitr expected Friday 20 March 2026, subject to moon sighting. Local MENA ministries may differ by a day—never hard-code a single global date without a local confirm row.
Checklist
- Date table — Country rows with estimated vs confirmed sighting dates.
- Dayparting — Shift bids toward post-iftar evening peaks; do not invent a universal hour.
- Creative tone — No food/drink temptation creatives aimed at fasting audiences; respect local ad standards.
- Offer copy — Avoid “break your fast with a purchase” framing.
- Live-ops — Energy/stamina events that assume daytime play may need retune.
- Community — Moderators briefed on respectful discourse.
- Eid handoff — Freeze Ramadan creatives before Eid push (see Eid checklist).
