Want to earn some cool NEW prizes? Just look for the “Free Prizes” button in the Thing to Do menu. When you click on it, you’ll have the option to either earn KinzCash or a prize by watching a video advertisement. At the end of the video, you’ll be awarded your prize.
The prizes for watching these video ads are ALL NEW and can’t be won anywhere else. The prize items are awarded randomly, with some of the bigger prizes being rarer than others. You can watch and win up to a total of 10 times per day.
Please note that you’ll need to have your Parent’s Account set to allow 3rd party ads and you’ll need to turn off any ad blockers to participate. When making changes to your Parents Account settings, you will need to click on the link sent in the confirmation email (i.e., the same email used to login to your Parent’s Account) to see the changes take effect. Also make sure you are logged out of your Webkinz account while making changes to your Parents Account settings.
UPDATE (04/13/2018): Please note that once an advertiser’s daily quota is reached, the videos for the ads are automatically capped and the “No ads are available in your area” message will appear. So if you were able to watch video ads one day and not the next, it most likely means that the video ads have been capped for the day and you’ll have to try again tomorrow.
Currently we only have advertisers in North America supplying us with video ads, so only accounts in North America can use this feature.
Since we have been reaching the daily quota for our advertisers with this new feature, we have now turned off the video ads that used to pop up between plays in the Arcade and the room.
What do you think of these new prizes and the way to win them? Let us know in the comments below.
FYI, for your tech ppl: Turning the juggling flower/plant causes it to turn into a void/flat square box. Then it becomes tedious to try and turn it three more times to get it to appear. Had to toggle the edit button on and off for each turn as the turn arrows and check mark bar disappears after each turn. My user ID is the same as the one I’m commenting with.
This is really really cool! Except my parents do not really want the 3rd party ads turned on…
where is the “things to do” menu?
is it not international? it tells me there are no vids in my area :/ if thats the case please fix it !
it said that to me last night too, just close it, then go back to it in a minute. it let me watch all 10 videos!
Is this available for all Webkinz members? There is a log in button and I tried that but it didn’t work.
What do you do when you get to the link. I put in the information and it said I have to go to my email. There wasn’t anything in my e-mail. Very confusing.
Does anyone know if these items can be traded?
Well, when I go to send a package, it allows these prizes to be sent by Kinzpost. I would think then that they could be traded. ???
Thanks, Cloudsheeeep, for your answer. I agree that if those items can be posted then they can be traded.
I have been able to trade all of the items. But, there are some items in WW that can be mailed, but not traded, like the egg feet. Programming mistake I would guess.
I’ve been round and round in circles and I can’t find how to create parents accounts. Please could someone tell me where to find the right place. Thanks
Here’s the link: https://www.webkinz.com/parents.html?v=v281_273
Thank you. I have been there. One e-mail account received the confirmation e-mail, but nothing has appeared on the other e-mail address. I have been on and changed to ok for third party ads and received confirmation of the change, but it still won’t allow me in. What do I do if I don’t get the other e-mail to create a parents account for my second account? I only have a couple of e-mail addresses and I used both.
You don’t need different email addresses for each Webkinz World Parent account. Use the email address that received the email on all of your accounts.
My problem is that It wants me to set up a new account. I keep being looped to Ms. Birdy. Should I keep going and it will attach to my existing accounts? I never needed a parent account seeing as when I joined I was a grandparent! If I had set up an account long ago it would no longer be valid as that e-mail dite no longer exists. Sally Webkinz….HELP!
Just click Parent Login and put in your WW information and your preferred email address. It will prompt you to confirm and walk you through the rest.
did we have 10 chances yesterday? wow i blew that one, if so…this is much fun & ooohhh tricky, tricky way for ganz to make money on ads–hey whatever works?? k.
There are currently ads running in North America. Ads must be running in your country in order to participate.
So if we don’t live in Canada, the United States or Mexico, we are out of luck? I just want to be sure that it’s not my computer that needs to be fixed.
As far as I know, we have not had third party ad providers targeting outside of North America, no.
