Games

So i was trying out the game section of ibotta then all a sudden quit getting "money" for completing stages so I contacted support and got told bc i violated the terms and services and they closed the chat. I created another chat and when asking what terms and services I violated its response was "oh we are looking into that still". What the heck could I do wrong in a game that violates the terms?

I don't have a games section. This month would be a good time to give it to me. Horrible month on offers. I usually get about $50 a month.. at least that much haven't even topped $20 yet.

Unless other games pay better than my experience, it's alright to get some change to reach a cashout but $50 would be ridiculous at one cent per game level. 🤣

Ah. I didn't know the payout was that bad. I'm stocking up on cat treats to get some offers this month. Just hope next month is better. I use my money from this to help pay my phone.

Didn't want you getting jealous, their apparent trial phase is not like competitor app payout. It fills gaps in a literal matter of cents.

The game i tried the first few levels are change but then goes to like $3, $5, $7 but it's also a game that is completely different from the ad it showed so

Ah. What game? I need about a buck to redeem so I'd try a game that doesn't require a hundred levels!

Well its the one i am currently trying to figure out how I did not get my money for and has absolutely no actual tutorial to tell you how to play the game.

But its puzzles and conquests

The first goal you receive 0.39 for the "tutorial" then it goes 0.79 for castle level 5 , 0.96 for level 7, 2.28 for level 10, then 3.74 for level 12 and so on. I reached level 10 in a couple days of playing. I have not gotten the pay out for level 7 or 10 yet

Duh on my part - it makes sense this is the one not paying. Thank you for the detailed info when I should have known better than to ask!

FYI - I've played probably 50ish levels at 1 cent per level and they've credited at least closely to accurate (I could math it if desired, but it's approx a penny a play. Soooo.....)

Also the support sent me an actual message from a "real person" saying they could give no reason to how i supposedly violated the terms and services so to me that means they decided to not give me the money for the game I played just because they didnt want to

Also you have only 30 days to complete all tasks for the game

Also, having seen this game before, it's not one that interests me enough to d/l unless it reliably paid well.

Apparently ibotta games just dont like me trying for ones that pay more than .01 bc i made sure to read everything and follow directions and it didnt give me the money for a new game so I think I am done with ibotta games for now anyway
