Earlier in the month we made a post showing that some players were getting daily free gifts from Mafia Wars via Facebook notifications [1]. I’m not 100% sure but I think we figured out how to get them. Thanks to the help of Christopher Browne and Shu Yun Zheng the steps shown below should get these gifts on your account. After following the appropriate steps, I believe there is a delay of up to 2 weeks before they kick in. If you already have the settings adjusted as they are below, try reversing them and adding them back. After doing just that and waiting exactly 2 weeks, I started getting these daily.
Step 1: Go to your Facebook Settings
Step 2: Click the ‘Notifications’ link located in the far right column.
Step 3: Click on the ‘Edit’ link from the App requests and activity option.
Step 4: Scroll to find Mafia Wars and check the box to the right. This will turn on your notifications.
Step 5: Once your Mafia Wars notifications kick in, check the Notifications Page daily to find your gift. I believe it takes about a week or two to start getting them. For a list of the gifts players have seen so far, go here.
how do you get to Facebook settings?

DeleteIts so weird. I had notifications on for all of my accounts and I used to get notifications and then they stopped. My minis never did get them even though it was turned on. I did what you said in this post although I have done it before, hopefully this time it will work.
ReplyDeleteThanks My Lady
ReplyDeleteLucky me ;)
"To welcome you back, 100 Chips have been added to your account."
I don't know.... mine was already checked. In fact, they ALL were checked.
ReplyDeleteOnly recently did I start seeing the notifications (when clicking on the globe icon) ... before that, I had to go to Game Center first. I didn't do anything different, but, glad it worked out that way for me...
you also need to allow mafia wars to contact, this can be found on the apps settings, if you have it set to never then it also not work ( When to notify you?)
ReplyDeletelol I just got 100 blackjack chips added to my account :P
ReplyDeleteI already had this checked but did not know it. The bonus is, I am able to go to prior days and collect those bonuses too :o) Thank you as always for spreading knowledge otherwise kept a secret *High Five* ~Lonnie
ReplyDeletenot sure its worth it when you see some dumb ass send you 25 gifts in a row
ReplyDeletehad it checked but i don't get those notifications checked back for days nothing typical of zynga
ReplyDeleteI was just getting popup ads to buy MW items when I clicked the links but now I'm getting the email gifts.
