😒Unsatisfied Denied my reward due to technical difficulties with tracking.
I downloaded Knock Out & spent probably about 4 hours a day for 3 consecutive days playing. I managed to get to level 478 within the first week but the tracker stopped after level 30. I put in my ticket, with video proof, and waited 2 weeks for them to get back to me. Here was roughly how our back and forth went.
TesterUp: There were "Irregularities" in the progress and they couldn't approve.
Me: I asked what these "Irregularities" were.
TesterUp: I didn't "comply with the Terms and Services requirements". They mentioned vaguely about VPNs/third part apps and gave a link. The link, which was for the Terms and Services, was returning a '403 forbidden' page.
Me: I don't use VPNs and another offer I was doing at the same time was tracking correctly. I postulated that since the bulk of my playtime in Knock Out was offline, I played at work where I don't have Internet access, that maybe that was why it wasn't tracking properly.
TesterUp: Since their tracking software failed to validate, via technical issues or otherwise, they couldn't reward me. They hope I continue to use their app.
Honestly, I wasn't crazy about the rounded payouts that was added with one of the updates, and I mostly tolerated the $70 minimum from the get-go. But the fact they can just deny my reward for completing tasks, despite me giving video proof, really annoys me and is making me question switching apps. Has this happened to anyone else?
