As its name suggests, a GPT (Get Paid To) is a paid site where you get paid for ...
On the web, there are hundreds of GPTs, but 99% of them work the same way.

On all these GPTs, you will be paid mainly to complete paid offers.

To offer you a maximum of offers, all these GPTs use the same technique : the offerwalls.
Currently, there are 45 offerwalls that are still online.
So, GPTs sites still have a lot of future in front of them. Indeed, if an offerwall closes, other offerwalls will open.

1. What happens when I register on a GPT ?

Since all these GPTs use the same offerwalls or at least some of these offerwalls, it's important to understand how you will be identified by the different offerwalls.
Indeed, when you register on a GPT, you create an account on the desired GPT, but in the background, it also generates the creation of a single account among the different offerwalls available on the GPT where you registered.

If you open an offerwall in a new tab, you will see that each offerwall will identify you with the nickname you have used on the GPT where you have just registered.
The "usrid" parameter present at the end of the URL had my username as a value. So, the GPT knows who I am thanks to this parameter.

If you want to register on several GPTs, to earn more money, you will need to register with a different username and a different email address on each GPT.
If you don't want to create multiple e-mail addresses, you can still create aliases that start completely different from your normal e-mail address.
Then, empty the cache of your web browser and register on a 2nd GPT with another username and another email address.

For the payment e-mail address (PayPal, Skrill, ...), you can of course use the same one.

In short, never forget this golden rule : 1 different nickname and 1 different email address by GPT.

2. Offers offered by the GPT

On most GPTs, you will first find the offers offered directly by the GPT.
Most of the time, you will find :

  • daily surveys provided by Your-Surveys, CINT, Opinion Capital, ...
  • paid registrations for various paid sites (including paid to click sites : PTC)
  • various offers that vary according to the GPT where you register.

Generally, the remuneration of these direct offers is higher than those offered by the different offerwalls.
This is simply because the offerwalls are intermediaries and they therefore take a commission higher or lower depending on the advertisers (those who pay to appear in the offerwalls).

2.1. Daily surveys

In 99% of cases, the GPT where you register will offer one or more surveys routers of the Your-Surveys provider.
This is probably the most used provider by GPT because it's the provider that offers the most surveys per day.
On GPTBee, each of these surveys is paid $ 0.65. But, it varies from one GPT to another.

WARNING : since these are daily surveys, you will only be able to complete one survey per offer offered by the GPT per day (or 24h).
If you complete more than one survey per day per offer, you will not be paid and you may be banned from the GPT where you are registered.

Important : If you are new to paid surveys, first read our "How survey sites work ?" article from the "4. How do survey sites or panels work ?" section.
This will prevent you from being stupidly excluded from surveys.

Then, you will also find the CINT provider, who is known to offer very good remuneration per survey.
But, which unfortunately offers far fewer surveys than Your-Surveys. On GPTBee, each of these surveys is paid $ 0.60.

Finally, you will also find the Opinion Capital provider, which is much less well known and only offered by some GPT.
Nevertheless, the remuneration is as interesting as that proposed by CINT. On GPTBee, each of these surveys is paid $ 0.75.

2.2. Unlimited daily surveys

On some GPTs, you will also find unlimited daily surveys.
This type of offer is very interesting, because it allows you to make even more money per day. And since the daily surveys offered directly by a GPT are very well paid, this will allow you to earn tens of dollars per month.
Thanks to this money, you will be able to buy for free the latest video games, but also to buy dozens of applications and/or games on the Play Store (for Android) or on the App Store (for iOS / Apple).

In short, if you are looking for a GPT that offers unlimited daily surveys, I suggest you register on GPTBee which is a trusted GPT existing since 2014.

On GPTBee, these unlimited daily surveys are offered by CINT and Opinion Capital, and are paid : $ 0.80 or $ 1.12 per survey.

Important : If you are new to paid surveys, first read our "How survey sites work ?" article from the "4. How do survey sites or panels work ?" section.
This will prevent you from being stupidly excluded from surveys.

2.3. Paid registrations (PTS)

Among the offers offered by the various GPTs, you will also find paid registrations for other paid sites.
These paid registrations are added by the GPT Admin where you register and/or by its members.

Note : the remuneration offered for paid registrations is very variable, but they can allow you to earn a few dollars in a few minutes.

Since paid registrations are also added by the members of the concerned GPT, this also means that you can get some referrals on the site you want for a few dollars.

2.4. Various offers

For the rest of the offers offered directly by the GPT where you registered, you will find for example an offer asking you to post your payment's proof on a known site / forum.
Thanks to this fast action, you will earn some extra money.
For example, on GPTBee, sharing your payment's proofs may allow you to earn an additional $ 0.10 per proof shared on the web.

The GPT can also pay you to talk about them on the Internet.
For example, by writing an article about them on a forum or a known site.
On GPTBee, this action is paid $ 0.10.

Note : offers available on GPTs vary over time.

3. Offerwalls

An offerwall is a site that offers a series of paid offers thanks to advertisers.
An advertiser is, most of the time, a company that pays to be known.

In the case of an offerwall, advertisers pay the company that created the offerwall for specific actions (complete surveys, subscribe to a newsletter, ...).

In the offerwalls, you will find other different types of offers where you will have to do this or that action.
In general, you will find :

  • paid surveys provided by Your-Surveys, SpeakUp, EasySurveys (a very interesting little newcomer), SSI (Survey Sampling International), ...
  • paid registrations for gaming sites (online games, MMORPGs, multiplayer games, ...)
  • paid contests to win a car or the latest fashionable smartphone (the latest Apple iPhone, the latest Samsung Galaxy smartphone, ...)
  • paid videos (this is rather rare, except at Virool, which specializes in this domain)
  • mobile apps to download : for Android or iOS (Apple).

Here is an example of offerwall : Woobi (formerly TokenAds).

When you complete an offer in an offerwall, it's possible that the delay is longer or shorter depending on the offer completed, the offerwall used, and the GPT where you are registered.
Indeed, when you complete an offer in an offerwall (no matter which one), here is what happens :

  • the offerwall redirects you to the advertiser's site (for example : SpeakUp).
  • you perform the action requested by the advertiser (for example : complete a survey)
  • if the advertiser considers that the requested action has been performed, the advertiser will contact the offerwall in the background to indicate that the offer has been completed. (This is automatic)
  • however, in some cases, the offerwall will periodically access a special URL of the advertiser to verify that you have performed the requested action. Reason for which, the duration of validation can be a little longer for some offers.
  • when the offerwall has detected that you have completed the offer, the offerwall will automatically contact the GPT where you are registered in a transparent manner. (This is automatic)
  • at that time, your points or cents will be credits by the GPT.

In the end, the GPT will pay you via PayPal, Skrill, ...

3.1. Paid surveys

To begin, most of the time, you will find paid surveys in the offerwalls available on the GPT where you will register.
Nevertheless, you will not find all the providers at all the offerwalls that exist.

If you want to fill out a lot of surveys thanks to offerwalls, I recommend Wannads which is the offerwall with the most surveys providers.
Indeed, currently, there are 5 surveys providers :

  1. SpeakUp (in 3 copies)
  2. Tap Research
  3. OpinionSurveys
  4. Your-Surveys
  5. EasySurveys (in 2 copies)

Regardless of the offerwall used, you will only be able to complete one survey per day per offer. So, at Wannads, you can complete a maximum of 8 surveys per day.

Then, in other offerwalls, including Woobi (TokenAds), you will also find the famous provider SSI (Survey Sampling International).

Finally, sometimes, you will also find special invitations to surveys at Wannads, Personaly, OfferToro and some other offerwalls.

3.2. Paid registrations (PTS)

In the offerwalls, you will often find paid registrations for various sites and especially for gaming sites (such as : Star Conflict and War Thunder).
Note : the available sites change sometimes.

3.3. Paid contests to win a car or the latest smartphone

In the offerwalls, you will often find contests to win a Mini or a Mercedes, but also smartphones or other gifts.

3.4. Paid videos

Paid videos are very rare in the offerwalls, except at Virool which is specialized in this domain.
If you are looking for the Virool offerwall to make money by just watching paid videos, I suggest you sign up on Winpixies.

As you can see, Virool offers many paid videos every day.

3.5. Paid tasks

Paid tasks are always in English and are always provided by Figure Eight (formerly CrowdFlower), however, it's also possible to complete them via other offerwalls.
In fact, either the GPT offers the CrowdFlower offerwall, or it offers you an offerwall (for example : Wannads) which offers itself the paid tasks of CrowdFlower.

As you can see on the picture below, each paid task :

  • has a level.
  • has a remuneration adapted to the requested task.
  • can be completed by a limited number of people.
  • has a satisfaction rate given by others members who have already done this task.

The more you complete paid tasks, the more you will be able to complete.
Moreover, the higher you go in the levels, the more the remuneration will be interesting per task.

But for that, it's essential to perform these tasks seriously. Otherwise, your CrowdFlower account will be blocked.
Nevertheless, if you are comfortable with English, this should not be a problem for you.

Here is an example of a paid job.

3.6. Paid radios

Paid radios were provided by Radio Loyalty, but this site closed in 2019.

Every half hour or every hour (depending on what is indicated on the GPT where you are registered), a captcha will be displayed and you will have to validate it to confirm that you are in front of your PC.
