Many Nigerians are upset after the Hamster Kombat crypto-mining app promised big payouts but delivered very little. Users spent five months tapping to earn rewards, hoping to make substantial money. However, when the coin launched, most received only between $1 and $4, with some even reporting as little as ₦2.75 for their efforts.
People took to social media to express their frustration, feeling misled by the app’s promises. Instead of becoming wealthy, many users are left disappointed. Hamster Kombat launched in March 2024, and its official Twitter account celebrated the launch, but users quickly shared their anger and disbelief online.
