Sometimes I don’t get Spud Shillings for doing things. Why is this?
We value that you’re spending your time on our website and we hope you like it. Therefore we want to reward you with Spud Shillings when you do certain things.

We allocate a certain number of Spud Shillings depending on what we ask you to do. You’ll get more Spud Shillings the more difficult it is.  For example, we give 10 Spud Shillings when you play a game as it’s quite easy and fun but we give 150 Spud Shillings if you fill in a survey telling us about yourself or 25 if you share certain things with your friends as it requires a bit more effort.

Therefore it may be that you are doing things but may have used the maximum allocated Spud Shillings for that day. For example, you can only collect a maximum of 60 Spud Shillings in one day playing games - you will get 10 Spud Shillings for every different game on the website but you won't get another 10 Spud Shillings if you play the same game twice.
