If you plan to add ads, it can be quite a pain since there isn’t that much information around the web about HTML5 content and ads. DoubleClick network seems to be a good choice and there are good news because Orange Games developed a plugin for providing nice ads integration in your Phaser games, have a look at this example:
You may have to reload the iframe to see it back in action. You can find all the required docs in the official GitHub page, anyway here is the core of the integration:

Let me explain highlighted lines: Line 45: the game itself. Line 46: the id of game container. Line 47: the id of ad container. Line 48: the tag of your video ad. It’s not that easy to generate a working tag for video ads, so let me know if you need a tutorial about it. I think I’ll try this service in a game I am about to publish.
