Earn: games, bonus, offers

Give customers ways to earn coins and keep them coming back: spin wheels, scratch cards, Reels and arcade games, a daily bonus, offerwalls and Watch & Earn. Every way to earn shows on one Earn page.

What's included

Earn & GamesGamesSpin wheels, scratch cards, Reels games and HTML5 arcade games, and the Earn page.
Daily BonusEngagement & Rewards Daily BonusA reward each day they claim it, on a 7-day streak. Missing a day's claim starts the streak again.
OfferwallsEngagement & Rewards OfferwallsCoins for completing offers, surveys, tasks or app installs.
Watch & EarnEngagement & Rewards Watch & EarnCoins for watching a short countdown, with or without an ad.

Daily Bonus, Offerwalls and Watch & Earn need Earn & Games switched on. Each adds its own card to the Earn page and its own page, and each switches on or off by itself.

Games

Four kinds of game are built in:

  • Spin wheel
  • Scratch card
  • Reels
  • HTML5 arcade

Each game is free or costs coins, can have a daily limit, and pays prizes at the chances you set: coins, a discount, a prize draw ticket or a product. The server draws every result; players can't choose it.

Add a game

  1. Open the games list

    Games All Games, then add a game.

  2. Choose the kind

    Spin wheel, scratch card, Reels or an arcade game.

  3. Set the cost, limit and prizes

    A new Reels game starts with outcomes that give back about 90% of the coins played. Change them as you like; the form warns you when a game would pay back 100% or more.

  4. Save and check the plays

    Every play is logged under Games Game Plays.

Arcade games

These arcade games come in the box:

  • 2048
  • Click Speed Challenge
  • Emoji Fun
  • Hex Burst
  • Odd One Out
  • Word Search
Uploaded games

You can upload a game as a .zip on a game's form. It runs on your store's own address, like a theme, so give the games permission only to staff you trust.

Review queue

Games Review queue holds what customers send in for a reward that needs a person to check it, from add-ons such as Micro-Tasks. Approving pays the coins once; turning one down tells the customer why.

Daily Bonus

You set how many coins each day of a 7-day streak pays. After day 7, the day-7 reward repeats for every day in a row. Missing a day resets the streak to day 1. The settings page shows recent claims.

Offerwalls

Connect an offer network to pay coins for completed offers: the page shows the postback address to paste into the network's dashboard. Plain links you add yourself (such as your social pages) don't pay coins.

  • Each offer has a picture, a type (offerwall, survey, task or app), an on/off switch and a cap on the coins one completion can pay.
  • Every postback is logged: paid, refused and why, repeats, and reversals.
  • A reversal takes the coins back, never below a customer's zero balance.

Watch & Earn

Set the coins per watch and how many watches a customer may do each day. A minimum watch time, a daily limit per account and a daily limit per connection keep the reward from being farmed. The countdown can run on its own, or next to a Google AdSense unit.

Before you choose AdSense

Google's AdSense policies don't allow paying people for viewing ads, except with rewarded ad units. Watch & Earn pays when a countdown next to a regular AdSense unit ends, which those policies forbid, and an AdSense account can be suspended for it. We don't recommend it. Use Countdown only, or read Google's AdSense Program policies first.

Can customers withdraw what they earn?

Not by default. Coins won in chance games (games, prize boxes and draws) can be spent in your store but not withdrawn or sent to another account. Settings Wallet lets you allow cash-out of game winnings, which asks you to confirm you hold the licence it needs. You can also make bonus coins, such as the daily bonus, Watch & Earn and offerwall coins, spend-only there. See Wallet, coins and payouts.

More ways to earn

Sold separately from the add-on store in your admin: Micro-Tasks, Surveys & Polls and Cashback.

Your responsibility

Whether you may run auctions, prize draws, mystery boxes or prize games where you operate, and any licence you need for them, is yours to check. While any of these is switched on, sign-up requires a minimum age of 18, which you can raise.
