What's included
| Plugin | Where in the admin | What members get |
|---|---|---|
| Earn & Games | Games | Spin wheels, scratch cards, a reels game and HTML5 arcade games, and the Earn page. |
| Daily Bonus | Engagement & Rewards Daily Bonus | A reward each day they claim it, on a 7-day streak. Missing a day's claim starts the streak again. |
| Offerwalls | Engagement & Rewards Offerwalls | Coins for completing offers, surveys, tasks or app installs. |
| Watch & Earn | Engagement & Rewards Watch & Earn | Coins 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. Referrals and the sign-up bonus are the other ways to earn; see Referrals, insights and marketing.
Games
Four kinds of game are built in:
Each game is free or costs coins, can have a daily limit, and pays prizes at the chances you set. The server draws every result; players can't choose it.
A prize can be coins or a prize draw ticket for one of your draws still selling tickets. A discount needs the Coupons add-on and a product needs the Shop add-on; without them, the form asks you to pick something else.
On a coins-only store the reels game is called Reel Match on the storefront, at /reel-match. In the admin it's still the Reels game.
Add a game
- Open the games list
Games All Games, then add a game.
- Choose the kind
Spin wheel, scratch card, Reels or an arcade game.
- 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.
- Save and check the plays
Every play is logged under Games Game Plays.
Arcade games
These arcade games come in the box:
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 members 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 member 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
Add your own offers as plain links, or connect an offer network. The page shows the postback address to paste into the network's dashboard.
- 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 member's zero balance.
Watch & Earn
Set the coins per watch and how many watches a member 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.
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 members cash out what they earn?
No. On a coins-only store coins are earned and spent in your store, and never bought or withdrawn. No plugin that moves money in or out can be switched on. See Wallet and coins.
More ways to earn
Sold separately from the add-on store in your admin: Micro-Tasks and Surveys & Polls.
Whether you may run prize draws or prize games where you operate, and any licence you need for them, is yours to check. While either is switched on, sign-up requires a minimum age of 18, which you can raise.
