The game stopped responding and the only way to get it back was to exit. It would not load. I was on a level, needed more moves, tried to use it and I got the spinning wheel of death. I waited for 15 minutes for it to load. When I got back in, the game had reset so I lost the progress and instead of getting more moves, I was literally 5 layaway to get 18 in a row. I was devastated.
That's really tough and I can understand your disappointment when you were so close. You are not the first who has written here about this. In fact I've read posts from people who lost their connection just when hitting the claim button or during the last level of Candy Royal and I don't think King helped them, not even if they sent in a screenshot of their winnings. Sadly this is quite common. So I fear that the answer to your question is probably no, King won't replace your gold bars. You can try Player Support and they might give you a token for your efforts, such as a few boosters, but if you lose connection for whatever reason you will get thrown out of this event and there is nothing we can do.
