  1. STAY AWAY. They will not credit your reward, and they will use some BS (and automated) excuse for it.

  2. Stay away! I completed 5 offers in row and I got NO coins. I provided them with photos to prove that the offer was completed and I have contacted them. All that I got from them was an email saying that they can’t give me coins because one of the following reason. There was a list with a lots of reasons. They couldn’t even provide me with a clear reason, it was just a bunch of reasons, in hope that maybe one will fit their decision of NOT respecting their offer. Every reason it was in my case fullfiled, so I knew they are nothing but scams. If you only want to play games, they’re ok. But if you want to get coins, you’re only losing your time – STAY AWAY!

  3. they banned me from accessiing in AdGate Media for violating there rules because i completed an offer then i report to them why i didnt get my rewards
