I am no longer getting ads or spins for extra moves or bonuses

DiDag

I have been playing since the beginning and am over level 10,000. For the first time this week I am not longer getting any of the bonus activities: Spin for moves or bonuses; Balloon for add for a bonus; Test your strength; Watch an add for a bonus. It is very disappointing. The game is no longer fun because now there is no way to win without spending money. I saw where answered someone else that these bonuses are only available at times and not for everyone. So, after years of playing I am all of a sudden no longer preferred? What is up.

Hey there.

So you've put up with this place for 5 years (so far), good on you; but it seems like you're no longer part of an experimental test group (of lab rats), see here.

Some will get adverts & others won't, different people get different features; so you just have to deal with the experiment for as long as it lasts, but (try to) have fun.

And do not delete the game in an attempt to restore the features, as any accumulated boosters/received game lives would also be deleted (if playing via mobile devices); see this.

You're basically at the mercy of those tasked with maintaining the game on whether or not you get those features restored to you.

But once you make a purchase within the game, don't count on it; here's an example from another unfortunate player.

King make lab rats of all their players, which is bloody pathetic...

@DiDag I think you just need to step back and stop playing for 2-3 weeks. King don't want to loose you and will get nervous. Those extras will eventually return. 😁 That's just me 😉

Call it a conspiracy theory if you like @DiDag, but I think something is going on at King. You aren't the first to complain about losing features that provide boosters and lives, and like you I have lost my Air Delivery, Sweet Cinema, and watch an advert for boosters at the start of a level.

The fact that so many people on here are complaining about the loss of these features would point to the fact that it is a deliberate act by King. I say this because it is too much of a coincidence that the loss of features is happening to so many people.

The recent introduction of Sweet Crew makes me think that this is part of the reason for the removal of some of the other features as is the slew of events that are going on.

The game is definitely different without all of the free booster/lives feature, but it is also quicker to play so I don't really mind. I just adapt and move on.

One thing to note. If you buy anything then you will definitely never see your free booster features ever again.

Thanks, everyone for your comments. I believe you are correct. I made one purchase for $2.99 about a week ago -- my one and only for the first time. I will not do that again. Lesson learned. It may mean the end of a fun experience but also the end of wasted time. I am too old to allow myself to be conned. I thought something was afoot with all the ads changing to ads for gambling games with "Jackpots". I will continue to play to collect my daily rewards but that should take up no more than five minutes a day. There are good books to read and cross-stitch to be done. I was a whiz at Blackberry pinball in my day and Angry Birds in its day. I got over both. But shame on King. The Kardashian thing is bad enough. Nothing like having porn stars as part of this.

Still no bonuses after a few weeks so I fear this is now the new game. I just play the minimum now to keep my daily bonuses and am no longer completing the new episodes each week...far from it. I did make the mistake of buying help one time so now I get all the "special offers" giving me the "opportunity" to waste money. Won't happen again. I suspect that once my stash of awards is gone (it is depleting quickly) I will delete the game.

That thing happened to me too a month ago, try restarting your phone, if it didn’t help.. your phone maybe is in low memory or might as well upgrade your phone.. That solution worked on me.
