My rewards balance looks different after logging in

By the CloudMineCrypto teamUpdated 4 min read

The short answer

Your balance is almost always still there, on a different account from the one you’re in now. Each Google account, Apple ID and guest session opens its own account. Log out (menu, three dots, top right) and sign in with the login you used before. If you only ever used the app as a guest, email support.

Key takeaways

  • Each login opens its own account. Switch logins and you see a different balance.
  • The login screen marks your “Last used login method”, and warns you before you pick another.
  • Balances are never merged between accounts.
  • A guest account can’t be reopened once the app forgets it. Add a Google or Apple login early.

Find out where your balance went

Question 1 · 3 taps at most

Had you added a Google or Apple login to the account with your balance?

If you always tapped Skip on the login screen, the answer is no.

Why does my balance look different?

Accounts are opened by a key. A guest account’s key is a random ID the app keeps on your phone. An account with a login is opened by that Google account or Apple ID, on any device.

Guest account

Opened by an ID in the app

  • Balance is saved on our servers
  • Uninstall, clear data or log out and the ID is gone. The app starts a new, empty account.
  • Can’t withdraw until a login is added

Account with a login

Opened by your Google or Apple login

  • Same login on web, Android or iOS opens the same account
  • Survives reinstalls and new phones
  • A different Google account or Apple ID is a different account

So “my rewards disappeared” nearly always means the app opened a different account: you signed in with another login, or the app lost a guest ID and started fresh.

Did you sign in with the same account as last time?

After a reinstall, a new phone or a data clear, you sign in again. Pick the same login as before. The login screen marks it as Last used login method, and if you choose a different one, the app asks you to confirm first.

Picked the wrong one? Open the menu (three dots, top right), log out, and sign in with the right one. A Google account or Apple ID that has never been used with the app gets a brand new, empty account.

Did you sign in from a guest account?

There are two ways to put a login on your account, and they end differently:

  • Add login (menu, three dots) adds Google or Apple to the account you’re in. The balance stays.
  • Signing in on the login screen opens the account that login belongs to, or a new one if it has none. Your guest account isn’t part of it.

If you signed in on the login screen and your guest balance is missing, don’t log out again. Email support and we’ll look for it.

Were you using the app only as a guest?

A guest balance is saved on our servers, but the app can only reach it with the ID it keeps on your phone. Uninstalling, clearing app data, switching phones or logging out removes that ID. That’s why logging out of a guest account asks you to type “destroy account”, and why tapping Skip warns you first.

If that’s happened, email support with your approximate install date, device model, country and any screenshots. We’ll try to find it, but recovery isn’t always possible.

Is your login on two accounts?

If a login is already on another account and you add it again, or sign in with it, the app shows a Choose Account list with each account’s balance. The account with the biggest balance is selected first, so check before you tap confirm. Try both cases here:

You’re in a guest account and tap Add login. What happens?

Is that Google or Apple login already on another account?

The login is added to this account. Your balance stays put.

From now on, that login opens this account on any device.

Picked the wrong account? Log out, sign in with the same login, and choose again from the list. If the account you need isn’t there, email support and describe what you saw.

Has the account been unused for a year or more?

After 12 months without logging in, withdrawing or using the app, and with no active paid plan, an account becomes inactive and we send a notice. Logging in within 60 days of that notice keeps everything. After that, unwithdrawn rewards start to expire at 0.00003 BTC a month until you log in again. The full rule is in section 18.3 of the Terms of Use.

How do I keep this from happening again?

  1. 1

    Add a login early

    Menu, Add login. It keeps your balance and survives reinstalls and new phones.

  2. 2

    Use one login everywhere

    On web, Android and iOS the same login opens the same account.

  3. 3

    Stay signed in

    There’s no need to log out. Fewer sign-ins, fewer chances to pick the wrong login.

  4. 4

    Note which login it is

    Write down the Google account or Apple ID you use with the app.

What should I send support?

Email [email protected] with:

  • the Google or Apple logins you’ve used with the app;
  • your approximate install date, device model and country;
  • screenshots of what you see now, and any from before;
  • what you did just before the balance changed.

Frequently asked questions

Are my rewards gone?

Usually not. You’re most likely signed into a different account, and your balance is still on the one you used before. Log out and sign in with that same Google or Apple login.

How do I know which login I used before?

The login screen marks your “Last used login method”. You can also check which Google account or Apple ID lists CloudMineCrypto among the apps that use Sign in with Google or Sign in with Apple.

Can I recover a guest account?

Sometimes. The balance is saved on our servers, but the app can only open it with an ID it kept on your phone. If that’s gone, email support with as much detail as you can and we’ll look. Recovery isn’t always possible.

Can support merge two accounts?

Balances aren’t combined between accounts. Support can help you work out which account holds your balance and how to get back into it, where that’s technically possible.

Will reinstalling the app delete my balance?

Not if your account has a Google or Apple login. Sign in with the same one after reinstalling. A guest account without a login can become unreachable after an uninstall or a data clear.
