Does anyone know why so many "celebrities" are doing adverts for Royal Match?! (lemmy.world)

I keep getting adverts for it with people like Simon Cowell, Olly Murs, Take That etc advertising it.

First of all, why would they do it when they've already got millions in the bank?

Secondly, it's exactly the same as Candy Crush and all the other identical games, so why is it so popular?

And finally, wtf is up with Simon Cowell's eyes?!

Yeah, but these guys have got tens (or hundreds in Cowell's case) of millions and will always be earning from various royalties etc. There's no need for them to make these adverts.

You don't get rich by turning down easy money.

And they didn't get to be a multi-millionaire by not making money at every opportunity they could.

Probably only took an hour out of their day and the ad producers likely went to them. Guessing it was a case of "I'm free then, might as well. Summat to do".
