β FAQ (Common Beginner Questions)
Q. I just bought something, but my points haven't updated!
A. Don't panic! Points aren't always added instantly. There can be a delay of a few hours to a few days. Check back a bit later.
Q. Are "Google Play Balance" and "Play Points" the same?
A. They are completely different! Your "Balance" is actual money (Dollars) you can spend, while "Play Points" are bonus points (pt) you earn for spending.
