My pokestop has been acceptet but it has taken much longer then the 48 hours it should take to appear in the game

Please provide:

  • A screenshot of your nomination, including rejection reasons if it has already been rejected
  • Include the title, description, both photos, and supplemental information
  • Copy and paste the title, description and supplemental so others can translate them
  • If you feel comfortable please share the location, as it is helpful (i.e. hidden duplicates), but you can mask it if you wish.

Welcome to the forum @brosjos

As your acceptance email says, not all wayspots are eligible to be used in all Scopely Explore games. The usual reason for this is due to existing Pokéstops or Gyms already existing nearby to what you submitted. You can read more about this here:

If you’d like help checking if this is what has happened to your nomination, please provide the coordinates of it if you feel comfortable doing so.

Edit: from your screenshot, I was able to identify where the nomination is. Your nomination is in the same level 17 S2 cell as “Gamla kvarnen i klavreström”. As the cell can only contain one Pokéstop or one Gym, it means your nomination isn’t able to become a Pokéstop or Gym itself. However, it should be eligible to be added to the Power Spot rotation next month when the September sync happens.

My pokestop was accepted almost a week ago and it should only take 48 hours to appear in the game?

The most common reason is the proximity rules.

It does state on the accept email that not all wayspots will be used in all games…

If you post the location (long / lat works best) we can confirm.

Good Luck
