Get paid for time you already spend on your phone. CoinTap turns surveys and offers into coins, and coins into real money. The rate is fixed and published: 1,000 coins = $1. Cash out to PayPal or a gift card from $5, with no maximum. WAYS TO EARN Surveys, matched to you. Market researchers pay for opinions from people who fit a profile. You get a share of what the buyer pays, credited automatically once the network confirms the completion. Screened out part-way through? You still get 10 coins for the attempt. Offers. Install an app and reach a level, finish a sign-up, complete a trial. Offers carry the largest single payouts in CoinTap, and credit as soon as the network registers the milestone. Daily targets. Three of them: check in, play three rounds, try a survey. Finish all three and they pay as one reward. We fund these ourselves rather than a partner. HOW CASHING OUT WORKS Every coin becomes withdrawable 10 days after you earn it. One rule for the whole balance, whatever you earned it from. Every request is reviewed by a person and normally paid within a few business days. Your wallet itemises every credit: where it came from, what it was worth, and when it unlocks. THE ARCADE Four free mini-games with five free rounds a day. Out of rounds? Watch a rewarded video and you get another one. Game rounds earn challenge points toward a weekly leaderboard, not coins. Only the top three win, and only once the challenge has enough qualifying players. WHAT WE DO NOT DO Adverts pay no coins. Watching one gives you a game round, never money. Watching adverts is not a way to earn in CoinTap. There is nothing to buy. No coin packs, no subscriptions, no unlocks, and we will never ask you to pay to earn. Nothing pays a random amount. Every reward we fund ourselves is a fixed figure, shown before you earn it. We do not sell your data. CoinTap is built to UK and EU GDPR. BEFORE YOU START CoinTap is for adults; accounts found to be under 18 are closed. Earnings depend entirely on which surveys and offers are available in your country, and we do not promise a figure. This is pocket money, not an income. Amounts shown in screenshots are examples, not typical earnings. Built and run by HashCore AI!
