Gaming is great, and a lot of people think the idea of playing games is an ideal job for them.
Now while it’s hard to make a lot of money doing that, some sites pay you in spare change to try out a few new games.
GG2U was launched earlier last year, offering a platform for people to earn money online doing different activities.
It has caught on with many gamers as one of there selling points is ‘paying people to try out new games’.
Being a gamer myself, I can understand how that has created some hype in itself.
I will tell you in this GG2U review if they are an ideal opportunity for anyone wanting to play games in return for rewards.
So let’s delve in.
What Is GG2U About?
GG2U first launched there platform in 2018, this started with a beta test in March to see how people would react to it.
The site itself is a Get-Paid-To site so everything you do will translate to points that can be withdrawn.
From game testing, surveys, watching videos and more.
The owners behind the site have been in the industry for many years setting up GPT sites over ten years ago.
How Do You Sign Up?
Being no longer in beta release the site is fully launched so I thought it would be the best time to sign up.
So you know what to expect I have made a GG2U account, which by the way doesn’t entail too many steps.
First thing to go over is who can join.
You must be 18 to make an account, it is possible to join as a teen but you need permission from a guardian.
There is no requirement for where you can join from either.
For joining you will get a $1 signup bonus, which in order to get you just need to fill in the box of details on the homepage.
The next step has nothing to do with registering they will encourage you to complete your first offer.
That will get you some credits on the board, but you can skip this.
I wasn’t expecting the sign up to be so short but from here you will be at the GG2U dashboard.
In front of you, you will see a few things, the status bar showing you how much you need to earn to get paid.
It should show $1 out of $7, which is the amount you need to acquire.
The other feature you will see is a range of tiles this is all the possible ways you can make money, as you can see in the image below.
What Opportunities Do They Have?
Earlier on, I mentioned the variety of ways they claim you can earn. There is a handful of them available to you, so let’s go more in detail.
1. Playing Video Games
Playing video games is one of the first opportunities that come your way on GG2U.
Under gaming offers, you will see a list of games you can download on either your phone or computer.
How this credit is each offer as its own terms. So the company is looking for people to either play a game for a certain amount of time or reach a level.
Next to each game, you are given a block of text which includes all the info and terms you need to complete it.
You must follow all the terms to get paid, though.
One example and this one pays very well is – Game Of Kings.
It is a mobile game that gives you 1500 coins equal to $15, however, requires an investment in time because you need to reach level 21.
GG2U does talk about this on Reddit and other platforms that the amount you get paid reflects how hard it is to do.
If surveys appeal to you can also have a look at Ebuno.
2. Survey Routers
There are 21 survey routers on the site which you can get paid to give your opinions.
Variety Of GG2U Survey Routers
Each one has different surveys, and you will also see next to them the number of points they pay.
Points range from 50 ($0.50) to 120 ($1.20). Some of the routers require you to click on them to see the number of points they give out.
How much you will get is to do with a number of factors. For e.g for the quick surveys then you can expect lesser payouts.
The survey section is good, in my opinion, as you have a choice of studies to do.
3. Offer Walls
GG2U has partnered with 14 offer walls to give you further ways to make money.
With the amount of available finding an offer to get some points shouldn’t be too hard.
Offer Walls can be quite general in a sense you can get paid to do a range of activities.
So you may also find more games and surveys to check out here.
With these and the range its a good idea to go through all of them and complete whatever pays out best for you.
You will also find some will have the same offers but for different rates so always to best to have a thorough look.
4. Videos
The way the videos work is different from other GPT sites.
The opportunity itself is you get paid points for watching videos, however, you are working towards a silver token.
How you get one is by watching at least 200 points worth of videos.
So baring in mind that videos give you 1 or 2 points each you will need to watch quite a few to get one.
Once you have watched the amount required and got the silver token $1-$3 will then be added to your balance.
5. Promote
For every time you refer somebody, and they go on to redeem a reward, you will get a 5% cut.
Initially, it may sound good as your getting rewarded for others hard work however, there are a few issues.
Firstly the rate is not only low but worse than competitors out there.
Most sites pay at least 10%, a site I have used in the past named PrizeRebel even pays 30%.
So you can see that the low rate is quite poor compared. Secondly, not everyone you invite will stick around to get paid.
Some people join sites like this do a few offers and surveys before finding something else.
I’m not saying GG2U is terrible, but the likelihood of all your referrals sticking it out is unlikely.
What would be better is if they paid you a percentage for there earnings instead of having it off the cash-out.
So if you want to refer others and get paid for it, I would recommend either checking out these reward sites or a business model I use called Affiliate Marketing.
What Are The GG2U Payout Times?
PayPal and Bitcoin at Coinbase are the two possible payment options that you can get, you will need to have made at least $7 first.
You can also choose from various eGift Cards. On the site, there is a link that will take you to all the options for each country.
That includes Amazon, iTunes, Best Buy, Visa.
For the first payout, it is made easier since you have a $1 sign up bonus already put towards it.
What I Am A Fan Off
1. The Site Is Presented Well
As soon as you have made an account, you notice a clear layout in front of you. The centre of the page includes all the opportunities to earn.
You know where everything is, and GG2U have done an excellent job in this department.
Some GPT sites either have too many drop-down menus and features scattered across making it hard to find.
But here a user could sign up and start making money instantly as its all easy to work.
2. Discord Customer Service
GG2U sparked my interest when I came across there Discord. For those of you who do not know Discord is a platform where gamers can talk with one another.
So with this site being a gaming platform, it does make sense, but what I like is if you have any concerns you can add them on there and talk to them.
You don’t have to call them using your data, and while the email support is also there, you won’t need to wait hours for a reply.
People online seem to be pleased about this feature, and it is a good addition.
3. Talk You Through Everything
That stood out to me as they are transparent when it comes to the offers. In particular, the ones that require you to spend money.
I don’t recommend the pay to complete offers, but in this instance, they show you how to do it and your profit.
Offers are a standard feature on GPT sites however I haven’t seen this before.
This offer explains what I’m talking about.
It is for MyClean and instead of just saying purchase the product, and we will pay you, they tell you how you benefit from it.
So you are spending $20 but getting coins that equals $30, so you gain from that transaction which is cool.
Obviously, you will want to pay attention to the terms and also look at the company itself.
That is to make sure you receive no further charges however, that is a good example.
What I Am Not A Fan Off
1. No Different To What’s Out There
Apart from the video game aspect, you will find a lot of the opportunities such as the surveys and offers on most other reward sites.
Making them not as special as some make out. Yes, people do love it and are getting paid, but some sites are on the same level if not higher.
I say this because with the games aside I have used a number of GPT sites and I can recognise the same products being advertised.
There isn’t too much being brought to the table here, but hopefully since the site is still new, they can bring in new ways to earn. That will make some stand out more from others.
2. Video Games Is Misleading
Some of you may not agree with this, but when you go on their website, you immediately see controllers in a few places.
Look at this photo below, where two people look like there playing on a console.
So when you see these, you would associate them more with Xbox and PS4 rather than a PC whos users who game tend to use the keyboard.
But the problem here is that some people will think that somehow you can get paid to test games on a console, this is not the case.
So if I was misled at first to think this, I don’t think I am the only one.
3. 5% Is Notably Less Than Most Sites
Now lastly and for a site that doesn’t have too many opportunities, the referral program lets them down.
They are encouraging users to bring in people to expand the company, but the rate is so low it’s not worth the effort.
Like I touched upon earlier, it’s not just that, but the whole referral program is bad.
I have done some calculations and worked out that if someone joins and receives there earnings, you will get $0.35 per person.
Not too long ago I reviewed a company called InboxDollars who give you $1 if someone just joins under your link.
So I will leave you to work out whos selling people a little cheap here.
Is GG2U Legit?
Are GG2U legit? Yes.
However, with some of the aspects I have noticed while reviewing them, it looks like they are far from an end product.
Being new to the industry, this is all understandable, and with a good team behind them, I’m sure they will improve in time.
There are some good features to the site, being paid to play games for a length of time is one.
So by all means, if you are a gamer, especially if on your phone or PC then try them out.
You won’t make a lot of money as opportunities are kind of limited.
So if you want to take reward sites seriously your best bet is also to combine them with others.
Here’s a list of the top reward sites I regard as being the best out there and have personally used myself.
You want opportunities that will provide the best way for you to make money, and that is what they do.
That brings me to the end of this GG2U review. Are you a gamer? Have you tried this platform since there release?
Hi, Joshua,
It’s incredible how you can make some money just by playing videogames or watching videos. You won’t probably become rich, but the extra money is always welcome.
I used to play a lot of video games when I was a teen. I can’t anymore because of my job. However, a cousin of mine is obsessed with video games. I think he might be interested in giving it a try, that is, if he’s not already familiar with it.
Based on your review, it looks like this platform is a great start for beginners. More advanced gamers may find it too basic, but other than that, I think it’s worth giving it a shot.
Thanks for sharing.
Many thanks to you for giving us an beautiful article and through the article I learned about a new game that I can earn some rewards after playing and I can make money. I’ll try to play the GG2U game right now and play according to the directions you’ve given. I play games on my smartphone and my laptop all the time but I have never been rewarded by playing any game so this is a great opportunity for me to get rewarded for playing this game. And I will share my experience with you soon
