Purchase Questions

What are Favor Points?

Favor Points, also known as FP, are virtual points that can be used in game. FP is the best way to enhance your Underworld Empire gameplay experience. There are many different items that can be purchased with FP in the Black Market, all of which can provide special bonuses and exclusive benefits to your character. This includes being able to refill stamina and energy without waiting.

How do I purchase Favor Points?

Favor Points are purchased in the App itself in the Black Market. You can find the Black Market by accessing the UE favor box on the bottom of your screen. From the Black Market, you can purchase different Favor Point packages by clicking “Get Favor”.

What payment methods are supported?

The only payment method we currently support is through Apple iTunes.

Can I use an iTunes gift card with Underworld Empire?

Yes, you can use an iTunes gift card for in app purchases. As long as you have redeemed your Gift Card on iTunes or the App Store, and it shows your account as being in balance on the featured page, then any purchase you make that would be processed by iTunes would come off the Gift Card.

Where can I see my Favor Points?

You can find your Favor Point amount at the top right corner of your screen. It is denoted by the golden coin.

I just tried purchasing Favor Points but I got this error message. What does it mean?

Every once in a while there is an issue with payments. This can be caused by network connections, Apple account locks, or other such issues beyond our control. A general rule of thumb is if the error is in White, it is from Apple iTunes. If it is blue or transparent, it is from Underworld Empire.

If you see that the error message is white, please contact Apple iTunes support for further assistance. http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

I have just purchased Favor Points but they never came through. What do I do now?

If you have purchased favor points but they have not downloaded yet, please give them 24 hours to do so before contacting Support. If your favor points still do not appear, please forward your iTunes receipt to support and we would be more than happy to manually credit your account. If possible, please include what error message you saw as well. Make sure to include your Army Code.

I do not want Favor Points credited to my account, I would like a full monetary refund. How do I do this?

In order to obtain a full monetary refund, please contact Apple iTunes Support at http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/

What should I know when contacting Underworld Empire Support for a Billing issue?

When contacting the Support Team about a billing issue. Please include the following:
1. Army Code
2. Description of the Issue
3. Error message if applicable
4. Copy of your iTunes receipt
We will get back to your request as soon as possible.

I purchased Favor Points during a promotion but I didn’t get it!

Favor Point Value Packs are promotional item packages that have a value of or greater than the Favor Point number shown on the advertisement. When you tap on the ad, it will bring up a list of all the items that are included. If you continue to have issues or a piece of your promotion is missing, please contact the Support Team.

My friends currently are purchasing a promotion but I do not see one. Why?

Most of our promotions are level locked. Meaning, while one promotion might be available to you it might not be available to your friends at the same time.

Can I participate in a promotion more than once?

No. Promotions are only available once for each player character.

My game crashed while using a scratcher. Where is my reward?

If you close out the game in the process of scratching off a scratcher, your reward will be automatically placed into your account.

I can not see the Platinum Scratchers in my account. What is going wrong?

Normally this is due to an outdated client. Please try updating the game. If the problem still persists, please contact Support.
