    Ads

    ​Why am I being forced to watch ads at the end of every few races?

    I thought the policy was that if you had made a purchase, you would not see any ads in game unless you chose to in the saloon or on the loot wheel. I've made one purchase back in 2014 and had not seen any ads until a few weeks ago? So why now?

    Anyone else being forced to watch ads despite paying for something in game?

    Can someone from Ubisoft/Redlynx clarify please?

    IM DONE! Cant take the Ads...

    I have been an avid player of this game longer than any other game ever! I play it daily for an extended period of times occasionally. The advertisements are too much to take lately... I am forced to sit through an ad that takes an eternity. What is more irritating is that I play on my Ipad while tethering off my phone so its using too much data.......... I am so close to just deleting the game and not recommend it to anyone... Is there a way to pay something to get rid of the ads? I would consider it....

    I realize you must make money but COME ON!!! IT IS STUPID!!!!

    It used to be that ANY purchase would eliminate all ads, which is why I've had no ads for nearly 3 years until a few weeks ago. I want to know if this has changed?

    The cheapest purchase now is coins or gems for £4.99, I believe there was a starter pack back in the day for £0.99 or something? correct me if I'm wrong!

    Hmmm...you're both on iOS? Me too...but I'm not getting any forced ads (yet). The ad system is still very broken (no rewards after watching, random crashes, etc.) but nothing forced on my devices.

    Yep, iOS. And yes, they are seriously annoying!! after every 2nd track in the event, every couple in showdowns and after running a track on the map! If it crashes after a showdown, you lose the opportunity to spin the wheel, so no reward added to the pot. I assume I'm not losing rep from the event... I don't think I am.

    Interestingly, the delay (from a couple of updates ago) when you click the Continue button(arrow) after spinning the wheel at the end of a map track is where an ad will play. I had this delay for quite a while before I started getting ads.

    Maybe a regional thing? I'm iOS in the USA and never get ads unless I choose to play them for a reward.

    I mention it bc of your £ pricing.

    Yeah, it's dumb. There have also been ads showing up in the bunker for the better part of a year now. I complained about this, Wheelie said it'd be taken care of, it never was taken care of.

    There should not be ads in the bunker, period. Whether or not you have spent any money on the game. It is unfair to BOTH players. If the match is going to end soon and it's a scramble for both players back and forth and one has to watch a damn ad, it's a problem.

    I don't think it's regional, something has changed, even if it's just on my account.

    I agree there should not be any ads in the bunker, specifically near the end of showdowns.

    However, my problem is that I have spent money (albeit only once), and it's long been known that any purchase removes ads, which is why I'm particularly peeved right now.

    I agree. You should be honestly reimbursed for this in some way. The fact that they clearly stated that any purchase would remove ads forever says it all. I would be pissed. I hope they fix this.

    I also hope they fix a lot of things that they never do
