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.

I know 3 other people who have this game. 2 have the video ads and 2 don't. The 2 who don't have them (myself included) have had the game the longest.

to all on thread:
I agree, this new process is random and everyone will not see them. I have two cities and only my younger city has the "watch video" bubble available. EA did the sane thing with the Plumbo Park. One of my cities got it and the other one did not.

Me too, I am with an iPhone 6S and playing Simcity Buildit for many months and have never seen a single ad. I am not sure if it is the beta testing that is mentioned by one of the users "Video adverts are currently only available to selected players. Track Twenty is beta testing them. They may release for everyone at a later date" or if it is a setting issue as another user says. I plan to write to EA and find out what the reason is.

I was getting them on one device and not on the other two. All 3 of my devices are Apple. I had been slow playing and not upgrading very fast just to build up money. The device I was receiving them on was level 12 and the other two were under that. As soon as I upgraded the other two enough to get to level 12 they showed up right away.

Has anybody found any solution to the issue? I personally haven´t been able to see those commercials since January, then they came back few days ago when the Earth day thing was removed; however, now they are gone again and I don´t really get why.
Can we get any support from EA on this? It´s quite annoying that people miss those free lots with no apparent reason.
