On the other hand, sponsored gifts cannot be sent from one trainer to another. Instead, they are randomly given away to players when visiting gyms, Pokeshops or when they complete a raid. Moreover, a player using a child account will not be eligible for receiving a sponsored gift, even if permission for granting the account access to sponsored content is available. Tapping on the sponsored gift will reveal the name of the company sponsoring the player along with the logo.

Limit of receiving the gifts

There is also a limit on the number of sponsored gifts a player can receive daily. There is also no guarantee that a player would receive a sponsored gift every time they enter a gym or a Pokeshop. Players also have the option to not receive sponsored gifts. They can do so by going to the settings menu and clicking on deselecting “Show Sponsored Gifts”. Last but not the least, a player can also report any type of inappropriate content found in the sponsor message. The report will be sent to Niantic who will take swift action against the culprits.
