The events/offers don't always start at the same time for everyone, we don't really know what exactly it is that triggers the offer to start, but it will run for 5 days from whenever it does start. An event/offer will only ever start when you first start the game, ie. if you have a game open and running and leave it running, the event/offer will not start while it is still running, so whatever triggers it, triggers it when the game starts. Also, I think the game has to be online (to connect to their servers) - to tell the servers you have the new version, and the servers tell your game "it's ok to start the event". But because the event only starts when you start-up the game, if you've only just started the game for the first time after updating, it won't have triggered the event to start on start-up yet.

In summary: simply exiting the game and re-openning it could trigger the offer to appear :-)
