Good spins today
1st spin: +10 STR
2nd spin: avvie 8)

I can't get the ad to load on mobile chrome, either. Doesn't matter if it's desktop or mobile. Black box appears, but won't play. Duck duck go on mobile doesn't even bench up the black box.

To get the 2nf spin, I need to fire up the laptop and use Chrome to buy the ad. Then I can go back to my phone and spin. (Sure, I could spin on the laptop, too, meh.)

So far, very happy with my spins so far.

Thanks for the spin stats!

Second spin: +10 health
And first spin of the next day: +10 health

Good thing they're not using me to calculate those stats... 80% of the time I've gotten stat boosts so far! It's nice, and I'm glad I got the pb (though I'm not sure what the pets actually look like...), but I would like to get some items. I really wish the avvie had been just for spinning X # of times. Maybe it'll go up as the event goes on if you haven't already gotten it?

Let's see... +10 = 30 red codestones. That was worth about 180k when we were getting 30 items/day battling, but now it's worth about twice that (and probably only continuing to go up unless TNT tweak the drops). 360k is quite a lot (especially considering it's a free wheel with no risk of losing stats) -- and the time savings are even better. Way better than a 25k spin, that's for sure!

Plus, my defense would be at 800 boost and strength at 850 if they're raised. I'll have to train level four times before getting to hit HP again.

(I really need to stop hitting Von Roo -- I've tried 3 times when I've happened to be up in the past couple of weeks, and I've lost every time. Of course I won every time during the FQ event when I wanted to lose them! Von Roo is a really tricky guy! And I've literally never won a level off a scratchcard; I'll believe it's possible when I do it.)

Wow, Siniri, 20 hit points is amazing! I would love to get that type of boost - it would save me so much time it's not funny. Today, I even remembered to get my battle pet active before going to the wheel...but no stats for me.

The spin stats I put in my last post are likely what the actual coded-in odds are. I doubt these will change, unfortunately.

First spin - NC item - Subtle Blush (already had)
Second Spin - Retired Plot Prize - Sailing into the Sunset (did NOT have! This was from the same plot that gave out Blaze, which cost so much you couldn't get the second-to-top prize, which was this background)

P/B, etc, that I mentioned in my previous post would be nice eventually...but I actually kinda want a merch code now, as I realized last night that the TCG cards are sold through the merch shop and that 10% discount would be wonderful for when the next set comes out.

I still cannot get a second spin to work for my kiddos.

Oh. I suspect the second spin thing is probably related to account age. I'm pretty sure certain EU laws make it illegal to force kids to watch an ad, and it may even be a violation of some American laws. You could send in a ticket -- honestly, they should just give the kids a free spin without the ad, but that may be hard to code.

Second spin: 25th Anniversary Celebration Stamp

Woohoo! The stamp space is right after the NP space, and I held my breath as it slowed down. That stamp is worth so much compared to 25k.

On a site that has ads on nearly every page...not being allowed to watch one to get a free spin seems kinda ridiculous. But I'm pretty sure at this point that the fact they're all under 13 is the reason behind it. Coding an extra spin for them should be just as easy as it was for premium users - "if age < 13, skip ad." People who have put in tickets with issues have been told it's being worked on but that the event will not be extended and extra spins will not be granted. I have one more thing we're going to try today, but I'm 100% expecting that it won't work at this point.

First spin: Sparkler Birthday Cake
Second spin: Green Meowclops

Congrats on the stamp! Still hoping for it, the P/B's, and the merch code, although everything but the merch code, I can technically buy. Plenty more spins left, though!

Oooh, what a funtastic prize!

It's way cool you landed here again, but unfortunately, you can't have two of the same avatar. Come spin again another time!
Bummer.
2nd Spin: Pink Snowbunny (hourglass slot)

How about that. My "crummy" Neo computer actually plays the ads just fine (when I disable uBlock Origin).

That stinks, Blue! Hopefully that's the last time you hit that space.

First spin: Bedtime Petpet Plushies (NC wearable)
Second spin: 25th Anniversary Celebration Stamp (again!)

I didn't have to watch an ad for the second one and was able to do it on my phone. I hope this means all the LPs can get their second spin today.

Honestly, the ad was always glitched for me anyway, fitting in a tiny box but only showing me a small amount of a much bigger video, so I literally couldn't tell what they were advertising at all. I'm sure a sponsor wouldn't have been happy to know that's how their ad was presented, and they shouldn't have to pay for that. In which case, why even require us watching it?

Hey Neopians! Your feedback about the spins not activating properly didn't go unnoticed, and we've made some changes! To ensure everyone gets the full experience, we're extending the Wheel of Celebration event through November 30th and removing the ad requirement for the second spin.
This means everyone can now enjoy 2 spins every day—no ads needed!
Thanks for your patience and happy spinning!

Welcome to the Wheel of Celebration!!!
To celebrate Neopets 25th Anniversary you can now spin this wheel twice a day to get all sorts of cool prizes!
The wheel will be here from November 15th to November 30th, so be sure to come back and spin as many times as you can before it's gone!
Kiddos confirmed that they CAN now get both spins!
I'm glad they're extending the time, despite earlier reports that they wouldn't. I think there were just too many problems with the ads. This feels more like a celebration and less like pulling one's hair out for the second spin now. :happy:

First spin: 25k
Second spin: Mysterious Obelisk Stamp
Meh on both, but at least it wasn't the avatar space again! :P

...in extending the time, they're also incentivizing people to visit the site every day through the rest of the year. There will be no break between this wheel ending and Advent Calendar starting.

At first, I thought it was a duplicate of the first spin, but then saw Pickle's post that the ad requirement is no longer. Nice 8)

Spin 2: 25k

As long as I get the avvie by the end, I'm fine with not getting it yet...

P.S. The site is ridiculously laggy this morning. Hope it improves soon so I can finish my dailies.

Double woot! Still wouldn't mind the regular P/b, cannon, and merch code...and maybe some HP/Level boosts? That would be wonderful...but...also will take 25k over another avatar slot. :P
