suggestion: Add Non-Gambling Ways to Earn Gold

[Megan Carpenter]

Hi team 👋

I wanted to suggest expanding the current offer options for earning gold.

In the older version of Small Worlds, there were multiple alternatives that didn’t involve spending real money—things like:

• Watching short ads or videos
• Completing surveys
• Playing other games and reaching milestones

Right now, the only available offers seem to be gambling apps that require personal details and real-money spending. For a game aimed at young adults (and likely younger players as well), that doesn’t feel like a great fit.

Adding back safer, optional alternatives—like surveys, videos, or non-gambling game offers—would:

• Give players more choice
• Make the system more accessible
• Be more age-appropriate and community-friendly

I’m not asking for free gold, just more ethical and player-friendly ways to earn it. I think this would be a big quality-of-life improvement and better align with the spirit of the game.

Thanks for reading!

I'm sure the team can correct me if I'm wrong, but the offers are handled by a third party company, so I don't think Smallverse has any say on what offers are presented on there. I definitely agree, I would prefer other offer types, but not sure how they can accomplish that without switching providers.

Deffo agree, Mira.

I know the offers come from a third party, but at the end of the day, the game still chooses who they partner with. Right now, it feels less like "earning gold" and more like being pushed toward sketchy gambling apps, which is a major red flag, especially since so many younger people play this.

It’s definitely not the vibe for a community like Smallverse. I’d honestly rather have zero offer options than have the game feel predatory. Hopefully, the team can look into a provider that actually fits the spirit of the game, rather than just keeping these around because they’re "already there."

Great catch, Mira! 👏
