No, you are wrong. It's been experienced by countless players again and again and again. As soon as they've made a purchase, the ads were gone. Other players never had them in the first place and yes, that might be down to "testing-features" but it's a well known fact that money spent = no ads.

If you've purchased something in-game using real money or a giftcard, your ads are gone. Possibly forever.

Are you asking, if you can earn real money by playing Candy Crush? If so: no. You can not earn money by just playing Candy Crush.

If you didn't qualify in the last round, you're not in it. You can't enter at this stage and have to wait for next year.

Sweet! But no lives sent? Why is that?

The "report abuse" link isn't good enough. No one fills out that whole form to report spam and you cannot expect users to do so if an alternative would be just one click. It's really easy to implement a report button for every thread and comment and this community needs one.

Ok. So you've had them before? Have you purchased anything in-game using real money or a giftcard before the ads were gone? If you have, you won't get them back and they're gone, possibly forever.

There will be a countdown before the round and a timer during the round to show how much time is left.

If you've reached first place and see a countdown on your event tab, you're qualified for the next round.

Have you had ads at any time in your game or have you never had them?
