Attention - Twitter authentication

As of June 1st 2023, the Twitter authentication and all related functionality is no longer supported. However, for the past 4 months, users have been able to add a secondary authentication method to combat this. Going forward, we kindly request that you prioritize Google or Apple authentication. This is in line with our efforts to make your safety and security our top priority. Thank you for your cooperation and please do not hesitate to reach out to us via DM or email should you require further assistance.

Twitter authentication!!! (no longer supported)

Due to the recent changes that Twitter has announced we have released a new version that requires adding Google/Apple authentication in case the only authentication provider is Twitter, please upgrade to version 1.2.0 to keep your account safe. Thank you!

  • iKPOP detects accounts with only Twitter authentication and redirects to a screen where you can connect Google or Apple authentication.
  • You can’t reuse gmail/apple that already is registered with a different account. You will get “The credential is associted with a different user account.” error message in such a case.
  • After a successful operation you will be signed out and you need to sign in again with your new authentication provider.

What are Ad watching limits?

On iKPOP you can earn diamonds or receive various bonus rewards by watching the video adverts that are provided. You can receive up to 100 (maximum) gem/non-gem rewards/bonuses every 24 hours. This maximum total is made up of and includes ALL the various ways you can watch adverts on the app which includes things like the extension of any expiring gems and your daily attendance reward.

To ensure a smooth operation the following rules are now in effect:

  • Only 1 advert can be loaded per minute max
  • You can watch a maximum of 10 adverts per hour. It is also at the discretion of the advert provider if the reward is given and also the amount of the said reward, so every time you may skip or dismiss a video before you have seen the “Reward granted” message, then these adverts will still be counted as part of the above hourly limit but as it has been skipped no reward would be granted.
  • Video ads are no longer preloaded, after tapping “Watch video”, you have to wait till the video is downloaded and can be displayed.
  • Ability to watch ads smoothly depends of your network connection

iKPOP doesn’t guarantee that you can watch 100 ads per 24h As it is down to external providers to serve the adverts for us it is also down to their discretion on just how many adverts you can watch in 24hrs. If for some reason there are not enough adverts in the inventory or you have reached the advert providers’ daily limit you will now see a ‘No Ad’ or ‘No fill’ message appear, then you will have to wait for approx. 5 minutes to make another attempt to watch an advert.

Prizes

1st - Prized depends on overall voting diamond score. All lower ranks contribute to 1st rank rewards and are unlocked faster compared to lower ranks.

If enough stars have been collected during the voting period there maybe be more than 1 prize offered.

2nd - … - based on an individual score. When at least 1% of that particular rank minimum goal is achieved the list of the available prizes that can be achieved and then the progress towards that goal becomes available. The higher the rank, the faster the options can be unlocked. There is no 1-1 rate of diamonds to stars (fan events in-app currency) conversion.

Red stop sign (main voting screen and progress < 100%) - none of the options is unlocked. Even lower value options might be showing 99.9% progress. Green - (main voting screen and progress >= 100%) - the selection of options will be available.

In the voting description, there is a minimum individual goal for all ranks eligible for the rewards specified. Although this may vary from voting to voting, please check each event’s rules for the specific details. Until the minimum goal is achieved all prizes options are locked, no matter of the option value.
