    I thought you would get banned if they found you were using ad blocking software- sure I read that somewhere.

    It's a decision you have to make yourself. I haven't seen anything to that effect on SB and even if I did, I would still continue using ad blockers. If they didn't want you to use ad blockers it is easy enough to code the app so that it will not run if you have ad blockers on (perktv does not run if you have adblockers running on your phone). The second plus side of using ad blocker is that it really shortens the amount of time you need to run the apps in the first place.

    But really, every time I offer this solution it's because ppl keep talking about ads freezing and I am offering them an alternative. It's not like SB will fix the ads any time soon.

    Hi, can you please indicate which ad blocker you use, if it is the one to stop the mobile app ads displaying? Also assuming it is for an Android phone. Tia.

    Is there a suitable ad blocker for an iPhone? I'm a noob to all this. Thanks

    Got those annoying SBTV mobile ads again today that require babysitting. Thankfully its a lower first target at the weekend.

    Good luck to those who use an adblock, I just don't want to risk my account personally even though the likelyhood is minimal.

    SB is driving me crazy today, have to personally babysit the apps which are the only method of earning, as I get the same stupid youtube ad after every single video, on every single app.

    Games as usual aren't crediting and beware the PL survey on finances for 20 mins, as you will get an error about halfway through and obviously no credit of any kind.
