Round Robin is a lead distribution method in PingTree that assigns each new lead to a different buyer in rotation — until every buyer has received the same number of leads, then the cycle repeats automatically.

If you have 4 buyers mapped in the Ping Tree, leads are distributed like this:

• Lead 1 → assigned to Buyer 1
• Lead 2 → assigned to Buyer 2
• Lead 3 → assigned to Buyer 3
• Lead 4 → assigned to Buyer 4
• Lead 5 → cycle repeats, back to Buyer 1

This ensures every buyer receives an equal and fair share of leads without any single buyer dominating the distribution.

Yes. Round Robin is configured publisher wise (vendor wise). You can enable it for one specific publisher and lead type without affecting the distribution settings of other publishers in the system.

If Round Robin is turned ON for any one buyer mapped to a publisher, then all buyers mapped to that same publisher will automatically behave as Round Robin — ensuring consistent and equal lead distribution across all buyers for that publisher.

By default, the Ping Tree distributes leads based on price — the highest paying buyer gets the lead first, and if rejected, it moves down to the next buyer. With Round Robin enabled, leads rotate equally across all mapped buyers regardless of price — ensuring balanced distribution for every buyer.

Open the Ping Tree Mapping page for any publisher and lead type. At the top of the Ping Tree List, you will see a Round Robin toggle switch. Simply turn it ON to activate Round Robin distribution for that publisher and lead type.
