    Since the site went down a few weeks ago I had been trying to find out what was going on . I thought that I was being regulated by Supersonic . I contacted WGT through C/S and for the first time I got the dummy down by WGT . They acted like they didnt know what was going on and had me contact Supersonic Ads . 

    So I did but had to go through Zendesk who handles the complaints . After a few days they replied and told me to go directly to Supersonic which has now merged with iron source .So it turned out as I had thought WGT let the contract expire without renewal so no more Supersonic .

    This is now why we have another blank space just like with Media Tru X . So just like they let Oakmont go without any explanation it`s the same thing again . Even after players were posting threads about it there again was no response by the mods or helpful hands from C/S .

    So I guess this is another money grab by Top Golf to raise revenue . So I guess eventually they are going to let all of the credit offers go as the contracts expire and phase it all out of the game . Not realising that there are players who play on fixed incomes and with disabilities . These palyers cant afford to purchase clubs and balls on their incomes .

    So rather than make their revenue from the advertisers they would rather cut their throats and try to squeeze the funds out of those who dont have it . So far I have never payed to play this game and never will . The day that I give them real money to play a make believe game will be the day that I quit playing .

    Congratulations WGT for another great brain fart of an idea .

    What I see is there are no more Supersonic "videos", but there is still a Supersonic page of offers available, and it shows Iron Source at the bottom....

    A few months ago they took all the videos "off" the offers page, only could be accessed on the video page...

    I've been averaging about 35 creds a day from True(X). The bulk of them (21-24) come right after 3 AM EST and then I get a few more later. It does go long periods with nothing but has been active to the point I described, for over a month now.Used to be able to pick up 800 in an hour or so in the morning by hitting on True(X) while tapping mobile vids on the tablet. Those days are long gone.

    I agree, free creds have dried up drastically, mobile vids are like pulling teeth now and limited to 60 creds a session. You can do it multiple times a day with intervals in between for it to reset, but it has become just a big PITA. Does not even meet what is needed for ball replacement.

    I've always been very generous in gifting and funding club tournaments, but a stash that was over 50K just back in March is now under 10K. I spent 20 real bucks almost 3 years ago when I first found this game, not a cent since, and that is what has kept me here every day playing with a 1000+ cdp. It will definitely not be that way if I can't support it with earned credits. I have no problem putting in the time to increase WGT's ad revenue every day to pay my way, but I spend enough real money on the kids x-box games, no desire to do it here. The customer experience is just not valued nearly enough by the owners for me to spend real money on it.

    For me the offers page doesnt work and hasnt worked for about 4 or 5 months . I cant get any offers to work from it . When I click on an offer I either get a blank page or a page with a circle that just spins and nothing else . As for the Media Tru X I have`nt seen anything from them in over a year and a half if not more .

    So not sure about the offers page but according to the email reply that I got from Supersonic / Iron Source its all over and thats according to them .

    The way I see it, IF I were a company thinking about spending money for advertising it sure as hell wouldn't be on this site. The seven carousel ads tell me nothing about what their selling, some blow through in seven seconds without me even knowing what product the ad is about, let alone the directive of the ad so what would bring that company back to spend more money?

    WGT doesnt have anything to do with the ads display . The ads are displayed through Livegamer . Im quite sure that the companies who are having their products shown here have seen the ads which represent them . They even get to approve them since they are paying for them . Its the same process as an ad for television ads .

    If there is a problem with the ad sponsors it would probably be due to the misrepresentation of the actual number of active accounts . The ad sponsors were probably told that we number 3 million accounts . But its maybe about 1 - 11/2 million of actual accounts that are active .

    With over inflated numbers the advertisers are expecting a higher viewing rate as well as a financial response from those viewers . The viewing rate is fixed by WGT based on the credit redemption . We lose credits when we redeem them through WGT . This means we have to watch more videos to get the credits we want . The only problem with this , is that there are only 7 views to watch . This is the wrench that`s in the gears as you can`t fake those actual numbers .
