Since the game is free to download and free to play it offers the Gold Bars instead as in-game purchases to monetize it.
Since the Gold Bars is the main way to monetize it and to keep doing all updates, events and release 45 new levels a week the access to free Gold Bars is limited.
I will pass on the feedback to the Game Team though.
@Crazy Cat Lad I appreciate the need to monetize the game in some way but what bothers me is that it’s not a level playing field. Some can win gold bars with the episode race, while others like me don’t have it so our only option is to buy. I’ve been playing for years & have never had the episode race. It’s not really fair to all your loyal players.
