Why did king not give me an option of opting out of buying something I didn’t ask to buy???

Question

I was playing a game and had just Rhin when a pop up showed up for 6 hours of play time,  I didn’t want this and didn’t know how much it cost.  It wouldn’t let me do anything except to accept it. I had 90 gold bars prior to this and now I have 11. REALLY king. You took 79 bars from me and I wasn’t given an option to op out. I am so done with you guys

Hello @msdill are you sure about this? There is normally a 'Give Up' button at the top right of the pop-up

Hello @msdill and welcome to the community. This is a common complaint I read so many times and I agree it is truly a dirty trick King play on unwitting players to make them spend (or shall I say to steal) their gold! Yes, it's a deliberate ploy, the fact the button is always green and big and stands out and the fact that  if you pay with gold there is never a confirm button! I hate it and it's grossly unfair. It's been going on for years but is getting worse recently. I now get the pop-ups after watching adverts as well. We have to be so diligent to not press anything that is green!
