As the name suggests, PayUp – Earn Money Watching, the site payup.video does offer a program to get paid for watching YouTube videos. And from its website design, it looks professional and far from the signs of a scam site because there are no slogans offering unreasonably large payouts, unlike the WinTub scam that we reviewed previously.
But as usual, the CekSurvey team had to register and try it directly to provide a review from our first-hand experience and comprehensive internet research.
Now, we will discuss how it works, its disadvantages and advantages, and whether it is worth trying or not.
What is PayUp.Video?
PayUp is a YouTube video watching platform designed to reward its users every time they watch a video for a minimum of 15 seconds.
However, you need to know that in order to watch videos and get paid, this site must be accessed directly from a browser on a mobile phone because the video watching menu will not be displayed on a laptop or PC computer.
How PayUp.Video Works
To start using this platform is very easy and does not require any special experience. Here are the basic steps to get started:
- Registration: Users need to visit the official website and register using an active email address only.
- Account Verification: After registering, users must verify their accounts via email. This verification is important to ensure that the email address you used to register is indeed yours.
- Watching Videos: Every time users watch videos, they will receive rewards in USD currency.
- Automatic App Download: This platform also provides an automatic video watching application called MacroDroid or Macros, although its operation requires Accessibility permissions on Android.
- Reward Withdrawal: After accumulating enough earnings, users can withdraw them to several available payment methods.
PayUp Video Payment
Several types of payment methods are provided, including Payeer, Advcash, Tron TRX, Dogecoin, Promobox, Perfect Money, and Steam.
Regarding the minimum withdrawal amount, it is $0.1 USD if redeemed with Promobox, $1 USD if redeemed with Steam, and $5 USD if using payment through Payeer.
Is PayUp Video A Scam?
PayUp.Video cannot yet be considered a pure scam because this site is still new. However, as the screenshot above proves, the PayUp.Video review on TrustPilot is very poor, with only a 1.9-star rating from a total of 151 users.
The most common user complaint against this platform is that they were banned before requesting payment, citing prohibited practices.
However, because the total number of reviews is still at 151, it is not yet reliable as a reference because there is still a potential for manipulation from their competing platforms, which are indeed continuously increasing in number.
Pros of PayUp.Video
Here are some pros that contribute to the platform’s growing user base:
- Free and Easy Registration Process: Anyone can register for free using only an active email address.
- Easy Tasks: There are no tasks other than watching YouTube videos with a minimum duration of 15 seconds.
- Abundant Task Quota: After trying it ourselves, we found that video watching tasks were continuously available until we ourselves felt tired after watching dozens of videos, earning $0.00312.
Cons of PayUp.Video
In addition to its pros, there are several cons that should not be underestimated:
- Small Rewards: The reward given per 15-second YouTube video view is $0.00013, meaning each user must watch tens of thousands of videos to earn at least $1 USD, which is very frustrating.
- Potential Scam: The PayUp.Video site platform is still relatively new and does not have a good reputation, so it still has a high potential to become a scam or non-paying fraud.
Conclusion
PayUp.Video is not a complete scam, at least for now, but because it has several drawbacks such as small rewards, being new, and poor reviews on TrustPilot, we do not recommend registering at this time.
Over time, we will re-evaluate this platform when it is indeed worth trying, because registering now will only waste your time with rewards that are not commensurate with the time you have spent.
