Took me quite some time to find out how to enable non-skippable ads, but now I finally got the option and of course want to share it with you.

1. Go into the Creator Studio
2. Click on "Help and Feedback"
3. Click on "Need more help"
4. Click on "Get Creator support"
5. Click on "Monetisation and AdSense"
6. Click on "E-Mail Support"
7. Fill out the form and write under "How can we help", that you would like to enable non-skippable ads

I only had to wait for around 10 hours and non-skippable ads where enabled.

I think the "E-Mail Support" option is only for channels with a certain watchtime, but if your channel is still small, non-skippable ads aren't the right thing for you anyways.
I now activated them for all my videos with >100,000 views and will observe it for some time. If I come to the conclusion that the higher earnings outweight the lower views, I will activated it for all videos >50,000 views.

Yeah for adsense, this has to be requested in writing. I believe some MCNs have them by default.

All content owners have them by default. MCNs also used to have the 30 second ones by default (the checkbox still shows up, but they don't actually run anymore).
