 * I use my phone as a backup device for my ipad  (and for racing on android when there are ios bugs)


 * I should wipe the game from my andriod device (uninstall or just clear local save?)


 * I should then log into the device with a different id and create a new account (player id different, RTID the same?)


 * I should then do some racing (no cloud save or restore?)


 * I should then log back into the second device with my normal id and cloud restore?

Does that sound right? No, don't wipe your backup game on your phone but log out from your usual account (I use Google+) and log in again using a new Google+ account. When I did this the new identity inherited attributes from the main account including the IAP history and R$ and gold balances. I was then able to use this device, including making cloud saves and restores. It got more complicated when I created a team since both devices shared membership of the team, different names but the same RTID. Only when I wanted to use the device as a backup did I clear it and log in again to my main account.

So, since the backup device took on the IAP history my main device started to see occasional advertisements but also received 20 gold today, whereas the backup device received only 5. When I finished experimenting with the backup device I cleared it and restored the original game from the cloud.

Both my devices are iOS.

All this comes with a significant health warning, who knows what FMEA monitors and punishes these days?
