AFK Journey “1,000 pulls” ad versus the store recruit claim—rates still omitted
Meta Ad Library copy promises 1,000 pulls. The Play Store also leads with 1,000 recruits / launch heroes. A compliance-minded creative lead can still list which rates, pity and character odds the ad omits.
Meta Ad Library copy promises 1,000 pulls. Performance for this creative is unknown.

Store comparison
| Field | Ad library listing (observed) | Google Play (opened 19 Sep 2026) |

Observation versus inference
Observed: the library text and the store body/features quoted above.
Inference: Adding an on-screen rates/pity disclosure panel (even if non-numeric “see in-game rules”) while keeping the 1,000-pull hook constant changes whether reviewers flag the summon promise as incomplete—without requiring a legality verdict.
Not claimed: frame-level timing; first-session tutorial path beyond store copy; any KPI; legal compliance verdicts.
Next-test brief (falsifiable)
| Test element | Specification |
|---|---|
| Control | Current hook/claim wording from Library ID 1048183074647718 |
| Variant | Same duration, destination and CTA; rewrite only the disputed promise line toward store language (or add dated expiry where the claim is live-ops) |
| Hold constant | App, market, OS, optimisation objective |
| Readout | Unprompted expectation check (what action/reward do you expect in session one?) plus store-visit→install continuity—not CTR alone |
| Stop rule | Reject a cut that improves hook metrics while increasing mismatch with the live store listing |
