So I recently went on holiday that involved stopovers in a number of countries. I was playing K&D throughout the journey, and during my stopover in England i received a ton of offers for free gems. When i moved onto my next country i noticed i received only the usual pittance of a few offers.

So on my way back, i decided to check this out. There were tons of offers (both in game and on the e-mail for aakavari i signed up for at the start). Some of these were specific for the location (surveys etc) but a lot of them weren't. Watching videos, downloading apps, etc (although there is still the problem of not getting gemsfor offers completely) that were all available through Itunes in my country but i never got offered them.

It seems that depending on where you live will determine the offers you get, and as such the amount of free gems you can get. This might be why players like HarveyGuo have said they don't buy gems, depending on their location they are probarbly getting a high level of free gems. But it does mean that for those of us who are in certain locations (Dublin for me), we arent getting the same offers as other players and are getting less gems because of this.

As i said i understand the whole survey thing, but i don't understand why GREE would deliberately not advertise to a section of players who have access to the apps they are pushing. Not only does this mean we don't get gems, but surely this lessens the effetiveness?

Has anyone any ideas on the reasons for this?

BTW, while staying over in England and completing all the offers, i went from 38 gems to 255 in 24 hours

Seems like next time you're planning on buying a large amount of gems, you might as well take the boat to London and get a bunch of free offers there instead, plus a nice weekend away. :D

I live in Amsterdam and hardly get any at all. Rather frustrating, especially when the ones I do get don't work...

Can anyone tell me the official name of the Akari App thing? It's been spelt different twice in this thread, if someone could confirm it so I can contact GREE to get my email added to it that would be great.

I guess it doesn't like my location. They begin to load and then dissapear saying there's nothing available for me. Nevermind, everything does that here in Jersey lol.

Everygame I play were you can complete 'surveys' for a reward does the same so I guess that's my problem and not the email.

Not a good start on the forums. Against policy to revive old threads ;)

Tip: Read the forums policies and remember to check dates.

It is on the locations, so that's why tons of players get VPNs, they get tons of gems changing to every country. I don't use a VPN, it messes up my tablet. Lol.

I tryed VPN but didnt bother continuing using it. I didnt get more than 2-3 Video offers a week. Wasnt worth the hassle. (And yes i did change regions. I tryed once a day. SEveral times a day. Tryed wait a week ect).

Would love Gree to have more advertisement in Denmark. Im lucky if i get 1 or 2 gems every month. I have always been forced to buy gems if i wished me some. Kind a suck when reading how everyone else get so many offers. Starting to think they're full of it :P

VPN works fine if you check it at the appropriate times. It depends on your time zone. Each time zone has different offers at different times of their day. For instance, India offers are best at 5pm their time, England/Australia/USA/Canada seem to be good all the time, Indonesia and Sweden both, for some reason, have a lot at 2pm their time.

I wouldnt say USA is good.
I get maybe 5 gems a week, on a good week.
Mostly 2-3 a week.

I currently am in India, I try all day, all night. But not a SINGLE offer.

Cant start my own tread but this one kind of touches the subject.
Several times have I taken an offer in-game where you get directed to the company advertising. Once or twice I have gotten the gems that i paid for through the offerwithout having to do anything, but more often I have to write to Gree, get confirmations from the company advertising that I acctually did what the ofer said in order to get my gems.
Now I wonder, is this done on purpose to try to have us give up and loose the gems we where promised? I would think these kind of promotions would be fully automatic and if you follow the necessary steps, the gems should be credited.
My last offer was one that would give 200 gems for depositing at a gambling-site, 3 weeks later and several e-mails both to Gree and ActionCasino that had the offer has given me absolutely nothing in return.
Is this acceptable behaviour? Hell no!!!:mad:

GREE does not control who gets targeted for these programs. It is merely an open space for third parties to make free gem offers to players. The target audience is entirely up to the discretion of the third party provider. Hope that clears that up a bit.

also differ throughout the week, i saw a kobo book offer for 111 gems with a first purchase, then back down to 68 gems, then back up to 100. i think its currently at 68 again? i believe its just how much that add is worth, they put a price on it, send it to gree, and they determine the amount of gems to make that worth. maybe, im just typing to type right now. im a pretty good typer infact, i still make a lot of spelling mistakes. i sure do love google chrome who fixes it tho. but they have not learned contractions. im dont and cannt just underlines like a lost dog who is lost. and smells like a dog. a lazy dog at that. in Fact! dog is always the answer am i riight? get a new captcha. make this interesting for me. what is this amateur hour? pshh. well guys, its about time to hit that dusty trail. gotta get back to my old ball n chain. and 2.5 children. maybe ill take a poop and play more knights and dragons in fact.

There's probably just not a lot of people willing to pay to advertise in your country.


Its not some conspiracy. Gree gets paid when you watch ads. If no one wants to pay Gree money to have people in your country watch their video, then no video.

Nope, but when i do get my monthly 1-2 offers it happens from time to time that the screen just goes black and nothing happens. Press and try again until it works. Others have reported your issue though - Must be frustrating.
