Changing devices during a game offer: check before moving

A game can sync your progress while an advertiser evaluates a different installation record. Check the offer’s device rules before moving an active attempt.

01

Game continuity is not campaign continuity

Signing into a game on another phone can restore in-game progress, but that does not establish that an offer’s attribution moves with it. The campaign may rely on the original installation and supported device.

Read the specific terms before changing phones, reinstalling, switching operating systems or moving from a phone to a tablet. A general account login is not evidence that each of those routes qualifies.

02

Keep the original attempt identifiable

Record the provider, campaign reference, device used to start and exact milestone you were attempting. Save permitted progress evidence before a necessary device change. Do not publish advertising identifiers, game credentials or other personal device information.

If the original device is unavailable, use the provider’s support instructions to ask whether continuation is permitted. Do not assume that installing through a fresh link can reconnect earlier progress.

03

Treat prior installation as a separate eligibility fact

A new device or rewards account does not automatically make someone a new user of an advertiser product. Check the definition attached to the campaign. Existing registrations, earlier installs or participation elsewhere may matter.

If you are not eligible, choose another suitable activity instead of attempting to reset a first-user condition. This applies even when the same game appears on multiple offerwalls.

04

Reassess a deadline after an interruption

A device problem can consume time without changing the campaign deadline. Review the remaining terms before continuing. Do not spend to catch up on the assumption that a purchase will fix attribution or extend a timer.

A useful support report describes what changed and when. Keep the timeline focused on the original attempt rather than creating several installations that are harder to distinguish.

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

A saved game does not prove a saved offer

Illustrative example: a game restores level progress on a replacement phone. Before attempting the next rewarded milestone, you check the original campaign’s device rules and ask its support route whether continuation is allowed. You do not treat the restored level alone as proof that the advertiser record moved.

A question worth answering.

Can a fresh install automatically repair tracking?

No. Follow the original campaign instructions. Reinstallation can create a different record and does not reset prior-user conditions.

YOUR QUICK CHECK

Before you start.

Read the original device and installation terms.

Preserve the original provider reference.
