No you're not missing anything @Michael917 I've had it 3 times and played just to see what it's like. Managed to do all of them with the help of adverts after I ran out of moves which gave me 3 extra moves and UFO, so managed to pass all 3. I know there are some who have used their own boosters to pass for the Help a Friend feature but sadly won't get anything themselves in return. So no you're not missing anything, you are just seeing something else King have decided to do rather than listening to countless feedback on other issues that need fixing.

I’ve managed to help two (out of at least 10 ) to pass the level they’re stuck on and luckily without using any boosters. I’m not even sure they’re aware who has helped them. I, too, wondered how you request help for yourself.
I also thought the helper, if successful, should receive a small reward for their trouble - maybe a (static) lollipop/switch, a life or a few gold bars as an incentive.
One small bonus is that your chocolate box is updated while you’re ‘helping’.

My concern with it @Charleyfarley is, does it actually help the player, what evidence do we have of that. The 3 that I got and played for are still on the same levels. Now I know that by playing the level and completing it doesn't move them forward, it just gives them boosters to use on that level the next time they play, or does it? And even if they did get the boosters, there's nothing to say they are definitely going to pass. Also unless we get players we are personal friends with or who we are friends with in the Community we are unable to ask them.
I agree the person 'Helping friends win a level' should also get something, let's push the boat out and say gold bars.
You're lucky that you have the small bonus of it updating your Chocolate Box. As happens quite often, I have to pass new levels, which the 'Help a friend' doesn't do. As I only have one episode left to play which I am not going to do today I am waiting for my Chocolate Box to time down.

Did you check up on our thread here:
There were some posts here of friends who did receive the help and knew the players who helped them from the community here. Page 2 onwards of that thread. The CM tidied the "help a friend" posts into the "friends challenge" posts, which was not very helpful.

Yes I did see that thanks Christine and it was Vicky who got the boosters, but they didn't help her pass the level. What I'm saying is does that happen with all the 'help a friend's' that are done, there's no actual way of telling. Perhaps it's just me being cynical and bored by the things King keep doing rather than listening to continuous feedback on so many other things that need fixing and implementing 🤨

I didn't mean to be a killjoy @Charleyfarley I'm sure there are many who enjoy playing it and it might be helping some, if they do get the boosters. But I'm just getting fed up with the different things King are doing instead of listening to the years of feedback that the Community have bothered to give, and just not taking any notice. Side games are now few and far between that don't involve passing new levels, the Chocolate Box has gone from bad to impossible for some. So the little bit of fun that was left is slowly dwindling away 😢
