Nigerians are expressing outrage and disappointment over the Hamster Kombat payouts, which fell far short of expectations. After months of tapping to earn rewards, users anticipated substantial payouts, but instead received mere dollars, with some getting as little as ₦2.75 ¹.
The game, launched in March 2024, had promised to turn everyday Nigerians into billionaires and CEOs. However, the reality has left thousands disillusioned, taking to social media to vent frustrations and accuse Hamster Coin of misleading them ¹.
