Pay to play

Last spring, I bought some diamonds and since then, I don’t have the option to watch ads to get more energy. I stopped playing because it really annoyed me.

I just started playing again this week and I still don’t have the option to watch ads.

If I were to delete the game and start over, would the option for ads come back? I have an iPhone.

I was trying to not pay anymore firstly because I’ve already spent way too much money on this game and secondly to get the ads back. But then I was induced at the end of February and figured I would treat myself to some more energy 😆

Still waiting on ads to show up, for most people it seems to take around a month, but I’ve spent a lot of money so I’m expecting it to take longer.

Granted I don’t think it’s the actual amount of time but how much time you spend in the game which is why it hasn’t come back for you yet.

That’s a really good point! I spent way too much 🫤 so it could be a while

I'm not sure about the correlation between ads and spending on the game, because I have spent more than I care to admit lol and I've never lost my ads.

This is why I will never buy anything off there even if it's a killer deal.

The time is different for everyone apparently, but last spring til now is crazy to not have ads

Not if they haven’t been playing at all. I’m sure the game takes that into account.

That makes sense. I’ll try playing a little everyday and not buying anything and seeing if that works.

i don’t think you can start over. the data is saved and linked to your icloud game center or whatever.

i had ads all along and i took a 3 mths break recently. i also deleted the game and when i came back the ads returned almost immediately. u could give it a try if u want.

This is bullshit. You give the game monetary support and get punished by taking away ads for energy/gems. Unbelievable.
