How do you get the in game advert videos in Simcity buildIt?

How do you get the in game advert videos in Simcity buildit?

Both my Girlfriend and I have SImcity BuildIt, Mine is on a Samsung Galaxy S5 and hers is a Samsung Galaxy Note3. In her game though, when the blue speech bubbles pop up, she gets short advert videos that reward her for watching. Same sort of system in Plants v Zombies 2. But I dont get them at all. I have been playing longer and never had not one, We have checked all settings both in game and the phone itself, and all settings and the same.

Does anyone know why she gets them and I dont, And If so, how to I switch it on to get them in my city? Because the rewards are ridiculous. She is getting keys, cash, expansion items and everything and so much!!!

    Actually I wrote to EA and asked them because I get advertisements on my iPad but don't on my iPhone (never have).  They told me it is on a trial basis and it is totally random, they don't know. It is not meant to be for everyone and not meant to be consistent.  I hope this helps you.

    So the device I paid for Sim cash on is now receiving ads, I guess if you leave it long enough and don't buy anymore. Or don't login for x amount of months it may default back to being able to watch ads.... Yay!

    How do you get a response from EA.

    With no rewards from those annoying ads I am about to shut down and turn off.

    I have the same issue on my android device. I play the same city on a phone and a tablet. On my phone I had problems with crashes when starting the videos, so I reinstalled the app. Since than I have no video advertising any more on the phone. On the tablet it still works, with the same account, same city and same app version.

    I asked about it in the german forum. (https://answers.ea.com/t5/Andere-EA-Spiele/Simcity-Buildit-bekomme-keine-Werbung-mehr/m-p/7900091/highlight/true#M3880)

    The answer was:
    "We currently have a problem with the videos, which leads to crashes on multiple devices. And to be able to investigate the problem better and not to further restrict the fun of the players concerned, the studio has decided to temporarily turn off the function.

    Unfortunately, I have no further data available, when the whole thing will be fixed, I ask for a little patience."
