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.
I have not been able to see anything; every time I try it says they are not available in my area. Even first thing in the morning.
I’m sorry this is happening to you Queencows, but I’m glad it’s not just me. I logged in today after not being on the desktop version for a couple days and was wondering why it said that. Maybe it’s too late in the day and the daily quota of views was reached? Sad if that’s the case, but like all new features there are going to be hiccups. I’m sure the team will get it all straightened out and update us. The Webkinz team is always pretty awesome about that. ;)
I hope so, I keep trying but have never succeeded in viewing the ads.
friend me !!!! I have extras…..please don’t send anything for them., Just aknowledge receipt.
OK, thank you. What is your username, is it purrc ?
Same. I haven’t been able to get a free prize once, no matter how early I try.
If there is any or all of the prizes you are looking for let me know, or post in the forum here https://webkinznewz.ganzworld.com/forums/forum/trading/ under the want or even the need and I’m sure you’ll get the items in no time.
I’ve tried everything that I can think of but all I get is a “Sorry. There are no videos currently available in your area” message. Yes, I live in North America and yes, all ads are enabled. I haven’t been able to get a free prize even once. I’m so disappointed, especially because the prizes look so good. :(
When I try to log in, I’m being told I have yet to confirm my email address. I receive emails from Webkinz all the time, and have not rec’d a request to confirm anything? I don’t understand what is wrong. Should I reset my email?
Please contact webkinzsupport@ganz.com
i’ve watched 40 videos so far and still havent seen the cannon or the artist’s desk or even the common black and pink glasses! Just a ton of hard hats ):
friend me……i can help.. dapper13
This worked for me on the first day it started and hasn’t been available since.
How do I find the ‘parent’s area’ ?
Not a fan of ads on. Really slows everything down. My child is constantly wanting the ads on for the new stuff then off for the games. Argh! The ads on makes the games jerk and also jobs and academy. Very annoying.
Agreed, but at least they no longer seem to have the #VeryVancouver one that froze the whole site and made me crash a lot.
Thanks for the update! I got the message and was confused haha
i have them all now and i have loved this–thanks!! :) -k.
wow! sounds like fun! can’t wait to try this later today!
