ads after upgrade

It doesn't look like your upgrade/renewal is in effect yet. Some of the payment methods require manual staff intervention.

Ok, I have waited almost a week, so maybe they just are slow :) I have paid and its in the system, maybe not activated then..

If you haven't already, open a ticket and let them know when you paid and how you did it.

I have renewed my platinum, but now ads are popping up, even though the subscription is registered. How do I get rid of them on the chess app on Android?
