I have tried everything and I am going out of my mind! I am creating a slot game and I would like to implement a 24 hour rewards system where the player can click the daily rewards and it starts a timer to not allow the customer to click the rewards again for 24 hours. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you so much,
Matt

This might help.
@JimmyMesser Thank you for your help! I tried looking at this but it is for developers with servers which I do not have
You should be able to use a webserver.
They are fairly cheap these days to run a simple php script.
£3.99 per month 47.88 per year... I'd say it might be worth the investment
especially if you don't want people to be able to cheat by resetting their clocks.

Would OSX Server work for something like this?
@ant_lad You know I have to say I don't know, fact is you might want to make sure it's a public accessible managed server that runs permanently 24/7. There's nothing worse than playing a game that doesn't function fully because the server is down or switched off.
the best thing is to have your own server. but how???
I want my game have daily rewards too.
You can access the device clock and figure out how much time has passed since the app was last opened without using a remote server. But without the remote server it would be possible for users to 'cheat' the clock by setting it manually.
