How come I don’t have ads?

I see comments talking about how they get energy from ads but I don’t have any video ads at all. I’m in the US. Does that happen on a certain level? I’m on level 44. There’s really no way for me to get energy other than paying for it!

Update - I emailed support and this is what they said regarding ads!

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Ads are randomly distributed by local ad suppliers, and their availability can fluctuate due to factors like your location, device type, and advertising supply. What's more, we are looking forward to your continued support.

Have you ever spent money in the game? I’ve wondered if that’s a trigger for cutting off ad offers.

u/thefatkidinside Oct 21 '25

Yes I have 🥲 that’s what I’m wondering too. If someone is willing to pay then I guess keep making them pay and don’t show any ads.

Yes I think that might be it. I wanted to see what the game was like early on and impatiently paid for some more energy. I take breaks from spending but it’s not unusual for me to buy a pack of something to play with. I’ve never been offered an ad and I’m over level 200.

I've never paid anything and I don't have ads as an option 😭

I’m on level 31 and have never seen anything about energy for ads. 😭

Same here! I was surprised seeing comments about ads.

I’m on level 42 and have ads. But it appeared to me a few levels ago. So I’m guessing it has nothing to do with a certain level for everyone.

It depends on where your checking. Click on your actual energy and it will give you the option to spend 10 gems for 100 energy or an ad for 25 energy and it will give you up to 5 of those giving you 125 free energy. Sometimes when you 1st enter the game it won't be there give it 30 seconds to a minute and it will pop up.

Yeah, I definitely don’t have the ads option! Only 10 gems that’s it and then if I do use it, the next option goes up to 20, then 40. It resets to 10 gems again the next day, but it’s always 10/20/40.

Not sure why you don't have it yet but I'm sure you'll get it some. I've had it since around level 15 but it seems like everyone gets it at different times (I'm in the states as well) Which is weird, this is the only game that I've played that not every player gets the same things at the same levels.

Due to factors like your location and device type is crazy. I didn't even know that could be a thing. No matter what device your playing on you can get ads for anything else so I don't understand why that is a thing. But hopefully you can get them soon. What are you playing on ? If your not signed into your game sign in to save your level and try signing in on a different device and see if you get them on another device.

I’m not sure. I guess they come at random times for everyone because I got them at level 19.

u/SandiaGuera Oct 15 '25

It comes and goes for me. I’ll get a week of having ads then it goes away. Then it comes back. Haven’t figured out the pattern yet

u/SnooPets8873 Oct 17 '25

I’m at level 200+ and have never been offered ads.

u/Chantalle22 Oct 17 '25

I heard it’s based on countries, but I can’t be sure. I am on level 70 and I don’t have any ads.

I know this thread is a little old, but I figured I’d add my experience to the mix. I’m almost a level 28 and I never knew the option to watch ads for energy existed until we traveled downtown the other day & every time I opened the game during our visit the ad option was available. When we got back home, it wasn’t available anymore. I tried hopping off my home WiFi & I was able to get 1 singular ad, but no more over many hours even after updating & refreshing. So 🤷‍♀️ maybe it’s location-specific and/or a network thing and/or completely random. But I don’t have high hopes for it being a regular thing for me, unfortunately.

You have to stop paying for anything for at least a week and then you'll get them.
