[center][img]https://i.imgur.com/VnYmZY1.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/1ZalyKx.png[/img] [color=red][size=5]Reminder: turn Adblock off[/size][/color] With Adblock on, Freerice won’t generate money per question answered - it relies on sponsored ads for the rice money. Also, [color=red][size=4]DO NOT BOT FREERICE[/size][/color] ”Couldn't I just write a computer program to play all day and give a lot of rice that way?” According to the Freerice site: “There are two problems with this. First, it overloads our servers so that real people can't play and learn. Second, without real people playing and viewing the banner ads, no money is generated. Sponsors do not pay us any money if they detect that a bot is playing, or if you are using an ad blocker. Your rice totals will still go up in the game, but WFP will not receive any money to buy rice.” If I suspect you of botting, I will nullify all your tickets and ban you from all future Freerice and charity raffles! [b]This is non-negotiable.[/b][/center]
