Intertitial ad not showing in live device (but working while testing it in Unity)

Hello guys,

I've been trying to implement ads to my game these last week, I had not problem with banners, they're working correctly both in Unity and on my Android phone, but I can't get intertitials working at all. They work perfectly while testing the game in Unity (I call them after the player dies 8 times). But when trying the game on a device the ad doesn't show at all.

Any ideas?

This is where I call the intertitial:

 if (num_death > 7)
       {
         AdManager.GetComponent<Admob>().ShowIntersitial();
         PlayerPrefs.SetInt("num_death", 0);
       }
       else
       {
         AdManager.GetComponent<Admob>().ShowBanner();
       }

The request is made during Start:

 // Start is called before the first frame update
     void Start()
     {
         #if UNITY_ANDROID
                                         string appId = app_ID; //your admob app id
         #elif UNITY_IPHONE
                                         string appId = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544~1458002511";
         #else
         string appId = "unexpected_platform";
         #endif
 
         if(remove_ads == false)
         {
             // Initialize the Google Mobile Ads SDK.
             MobileAds.Initialize(appId);
             RequestInterstitial();
             RequestBanner();
             //RequestRewardedAd();
         }
     }

And finally both Request and Show codes for the ad:

 public void RequestInterstitial()
     {
         #if UNITY_ANDROID
             string adUnitId = interstitial_ad_ID; //ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/1033173712test
         #elif UNITY_IPHONE
             string adUnitId = "ca-app-pub-3940256099942544/4411468910";
         #else
             string adUnitId = "unexpected_platform";
         #endif
 
         // Initialize an InterstitialAd.
         interstitial = new InterstitialAd(adUnitId);
 
         // Create an empty ad request.
         AdRequest request = new AdRequest.Builder().Build();
         // Load the interstitial with the request.
         interstitial.LoadAd(request);
     }

 //show intersitial
     public void ShowIntersitial()
     {
         if (remove_ads == false)
         {
             if (interstitial.IsLoaded())
             {
                 interstitial.Show();
             }
             else
             {
                 Debug.Log("AD NOT LOADED");
             }
         }
     }

I'm calling a function when the player clicks the "next level/retry" button that destroys all the ads:

 public void DestroyAllAds()
     {
         if (remove_ads == false)
         {
             if (interstitial.IsLoaded())
             {
                 interstitial.Destroy();
             }
             if (bannerView != null)
             {
                 bannerView.Destroy();
             }
         }
     }
