I'm new to Hideout, I've used the codes in this message for the past couple of weeks & I can seem to get 9pts each day when I click on my 1st video. However, I haven't got any extra points despite watching many videos, I don't seem to see any ads. Could somebody advise what I need to do to get any extra points?0

There are plenty of ads on Hideout at the moment. Have you got an ad-blocker running? Or are you refusing cookies or Javascript? Things like Hideout do insist on all this kind of thing, I'm afraid. I run it in Chrome, which I only use for Hideout and Swagbucks and I have it set to clear everything at the end of each day.

Am surprised if you're new to Hideout and haven't received any points at all from ads. Like Molly, I'm also getting a good number at the moment and have been for a while. "Loading Ad" should work and I get about 2.5 points for each one. It might not credit immediately but should do within a few minutes.Here's a list of their Do's and Don'ts: https://hideoutcares.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360021995592-Hideout-tv-Do-s-and-Don-ts and a bit about "Power Watching": https://hideoutcares.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360031381831-Power-Watching-Earn-Up-to-10-More-Points-DailyI think it's particularly good to have the sound on, watch a few different channels (such as clicking on a different one to start) and also not leave it running overnight or all day. It'll probably ask if you're still there if you leave it running for more than 2-3 hours, and presumably they don't like it if you take a long time to say that you are.2

Perhaps one other thing to add, since they do say "You'll also earn more rewards if you watch more": presumably it's good to have a sensible balance. So on the one hand you're not leaving it running all day or night and are able to confirm in reasonable time that you're still there, but on the other hand it's probably also good not to claim the 9 points and then close the window straightaway or soon after.I would say if isn't showing any ads in the first few videos, try clicking to a different one, or type something of interest in their search box, or go to one of their sister sites (shown down the left side of the main page) and close the Hideout window so you're only running one at a time, then let it play for at least an hour or so. If nothing happens then try it again for a few days. Am sure they're looking for signs of some interaction now and again to prove you're there, but in a sensible and normal sort of way.0
