    That Pot o' Gold thingy isn't in our hand, it's on Pinion's side.
    Therefore we can't do anything about it.

    Same here, I just get a message saying "We're sorry, Pot o gold is not available in your country" etcetera.

    It's a shame because it seems as if I have to wait 20 seconds when I join a server without actually providing ad revenue.

    Unless Pinion fixes the plugin, we might get a problem in April, as we are at <40% completion rate (60% is required), therefore we won't get paid...

    Let me guess, you can't edit the plugin to make you wait longer?

    I could, but that would most likely affect the player counts -> less players = even less views

    Maybe you can modify it so it runs on the background, so it "views", or do you really have to watch it?

    As the completion rate is still very low (~34%) I have decided to change the settings as following:
    View duration: 25 seconds (instead of 30 seconds)
    Review time (time after the ad is getting displayed again): 30 minutes (instead of 120)
    Review mode: Round start (old: round end)

    I hope that this will increase the completion rate a bit.

    Update!

    Due to many complatins of several communites, they have decided to revert back the changes until March.
    Therefore I have set the force duration to 2 seconds, which means that you can now join our servers faster.

    Strange thing is, with the old settings (15 sec force duration) we had a completion rate of 77% yesterday...

    so keep the 15 seconds. personally it didn't bother me and as it appears other players still join even they have to watch it 15 seconds.

    Agreed. Nobody minds the 15 seconds waiting.

    Since the pot of gold is not available in my country, does that make you gain no money from my views?

    Pot of Money is a lottery you can enter for free after you've watched the ad, so you still donate money. And I wish it was available, as they give away some real nice stuffz :\
