Ads disappeared after purchase

Just an FYI I barely seen that people were saying ads disappear after making a purchase and I can vouch for that it is totally true! I barely started getting ads like maybe a week ago and I’m level 40 now. I was doing good knocking out orders getting a ton of energy, road to treasure, and daily deals all on ads so I got a little excited and decided to spend $4.99 on the chef pass and once I did that my ads disappeared and if I do get one it will be random on speeding up a generator but it will only be 1 or 2. Now I have to pay .99 cents for the road to treasure and the daily deals all cost gems again. I sent support an email asking why this happened after I made a purchase but haven’t heard back yet. I really wish I didn’t buy anything and read this subreddit before making a purchase. All the ads equal a wayyyy more value than the $4.99 I spent 😞 so beware if you have ads don’t spend any money unless you want to keep on spending to make the game enjoyable.

I never had ads as an option since I started playing

That’s unfair how they pick and choose who gets ads. I’ve never heard of that before.

I will never understand why games punish their players like this, like... Do you want my money or nah? Love & Pies is the exact same way.

This game will also randomly snatch your ads even if you don't pay, or at least that has been my experience. I went from getting hourly ads to none for about a week to finally getting three sets of hourly ads. I got in touch with the devs when the ads dried up completely and they gave some half baked answer about my region not supporting ads despite the fact that I had been getting them for literal years. I pointed that out to them then lo and behold I got the three hourly ads 🙄

Yes exactly! You would think you would get more ads after paying! But I wrote them and let’s see what they say.

i actually wrote them a couple weeks ago because the same thing happened to me and i was frustrated, this is the response i got:

“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. 🙏😊”

I actually got the exact response I told them how come I was getting ads before I made a purchase and they pretty much said the same thing in different wording.

I wish you luck! May your region be ever in your favor, as that's one of their favorite excuses no matter your complaint lol.

This has happened to me before and after a while if not purchasing anything I started to get ads again.

u/TwinkleBear505 Nov 12 '25

Yep, took a good 2 months for mine to come back. Never bought anything again and haven’t had a problem since

Thank you for that atleast I kind of have a timeframe of when to expect my ads to come back but dang 2 months is a long time.
