About Ad-Sponsored Trials


Lex

Thanks for taking the time to learn more about ads in your Deluxe game trial.

We put together the information below to help you understand why they exist and how they can benefit you.

The benefits

The big question people ask is, "Why did you put ads in the game?" Basically, ads help us give you more gameplay - and more fun! - for free. Ad sponsorship affords us the opportunity to extend free trials and offer special features that we've previously been unable to offer. Now you can get more: free gameplay beyond the standard hour-long trial, and a fuller experience of all the fun our games provide.

When ads appear

We want to keep your game as uninterrupted as possible. That's why we're careful to use ads sparingly, and only during breaks between levels. This way you keep the natural flow of the game, and you get all the benefits of ad-sponsored trials.

No strings attached

You're not required to respond to the ads. Also, you have no obligation toward PopCap or the advertisers. All you need to do is sit back and enjoy the extra-long trial!

Make them go away

While advertisements will show up occasionally (and only between levels), the ads will be turned off if you choose to purchase the full, unlocked version of a Deluxe game. During the trial, you can click a Buy Now button during any ad intermission or on the menu screens.

Privacy Protection

As long as you're at PopCap.com or playing our games, the PopCap Promise applies: no spam, no spyware. We'll protect your privacy, and we won't sell or use your personal information. We may, however, collect anonymous information about players, advertisements or the games.

Important: If a user clicks on an advertisement, they are linking to a website outside of PopCap Games. Thus, PopCap has no responsibility for, or control over, the information external advertisers obtain, or how they use it.
