@LadyMarmelade01 The free bonus point ads - I've dropped in here over the years and in my, albeit limited, experience the ads seem to come in a torrent starting in fall and throughout the year-end holidays. After that they seem to reduce to a trickle of the volume with some increases around other various holidays. Understandable, they want high exposure for their money and I'd guess the Store & website are busiest at such times. I think the availability of ads is also highly dependent on your location. People that live in or near big cities just naturally seem to receive more ads than rural locations. And lastly, iirc there's many areas around the globe where there are advertising black holes, with users never getting any ads at all. That's probably because of either some odd local law (simpoints *are* a form of currency) and/or because there's simply no local advertisers signed up with EA's Store program for that region. Again, an advertiser would be silly to spend on ads in a location where the users can't access their service/goods. There's always exceptions but that seems to be generally true.
When you're hunting ads make sure to temporarily disable any sort of Ad-blocking software you may use. If you're using a current version of Chrome it may be causing issues with Flash content. Chrome is phasing out Flash support and some users have experienced that browser simply rejecting Flash content. There's more information on how to deal with that possibility here: h---ttps://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/enabling-flash-player-chrome.html
;) Oh just you wait until you get some of that premium content that adds new gameplay! You definitely will need to plan ahead because you'll lose some serious time checking it all out :o And no, sadly we new members can't edit our posts at first. As we level up we get increased forum privileges. We can all thank the snarky spammers & spambots for that little inconvenience. >:)
