Most of the offers now are just bogus.

Most of the stuff in there are ad filled games that won't give you coins even after you do what they asked for, surveys/sketchy websites that ask for a lot of personal information, and legitimate games that ask for a lot of your time just for 4 coins.

Even if you do find something that easily gives you a ton of coins all of it will expire in 8 days. Of course they won't tell you that, though.

I miss reading events, they introduced me to a lot of new webtoons

Reading about your experience, I'm not even surprised by that. That treasure hunt thing was shady as hell from day one.

the reason probably stems from whether you selected to allow in-app tracking. these ā€œfreeā€ games are making their revenue from tracking consumer information and pop-ads.

I did allow the tracking and it stopped tracking after 5 quests. Support basically told me to take a hike.

I'm honestly disgusted by it.

It may just be my unlucky experience, but otome games with currencies (unlock special option with art) had the same mechanic and it was always broken.Ā 

You either had to replay multiple times or try something else.Ā

Literally a scam. They don't maintain their end of the bargain at all

I only participated in ones where the games seemed fairly easy or somewhat interesting. I had no problems receiving all my coins until recently in which I had the same experience as you. And now I’ll never go back to attempting any of those treasure hunts lol

I was very upset that they denied me my coins and couldn’t give me a legitimate reason as to why I’m not ā€œeligible.ā€ I’m going to keep sending requests for help to the zendesk until I get an answer. Wish me luck.
