I joined Keep Rewarding to see what it offers and how it compares with the hundreds of similar sites I have tested. It is legit, with many ways to earn and a $1 payout, but it is not easy to find your way around. Below is what I found, and which sites I recommend instead.
Legit, but hard to use and better sites exist
Surveys, offers, paid clicks, videos and contests. PayPal or gift cards from $1, open to almost every country.

The short answer
Keep Rewarding is legit. It has many ways to earn, often with almost the same rewards as some of the big sites, and you can cash out from $1.
But it is not one of the most user-friendly sites, even after its redesign, and in some countries there will not be a lot to do. Check the best sites in your country first, and consider Keep Rewarding only if you still need more sites.
- Free to join
- Open to most countries
- Low payout threshold: $1
- Many ways to earn
- Open to feedback from members
- Usability could be better
- Mobile optimization could be better
- So many offerwalls that it is hard to get an overview
- Paid clicks and videos pay extremely little
- Small cashouts cost more points per dollar

Screenshots from my test
Keep Rewarding works, but it is hard to find your way around. These sites are easier and pay better.

Is Keep Rewarding legit and safe?
Yes, Keep Rewarding is legit. But that does not mean it is a good use of your time. Here is what you should know.
- Live surveys are for four countries only
The “live surveys” are only open to people in the US, UK, Canada and Australia. If you register for them from another country, it is seen as fraud, and your account is permanently blocked.
- Hard to get an overview
There are so many survey walls and offerwalls that it can be difficult to see what is worth it. Take time to learn the site, and read the conditions of every offer.
- Small cashouts cost more
$1 costs 110 points, but $10 costs only 995 points. Wait until you have more if you want the best value for your points.
- Some ways to earn are not worth it
Paid clicks give around 0.001 points per ad, and videos pay very little. They are easy, but they will not make you a lot.
My takeOverall, I think Keep Rewarding can be a decent site to join, but I would still recommend you check out the best sites in your country instead, as you can find many that are easier to use and, at the same time, give better earning opportunities.
How you earn on Keep Rewarding
There are 6 ways to earn. Surveys and paid offers are the main ones. Tap one to read more.
Paid surveysAverage rewards
The surveys come from third-party providers on survey walls. Keep Rewarding works with quite a few providers, so you can find a decent amount of surveys, but it often takes patience to find ones you qualify for.
Keep Rewarding asks you to contact it if you have few surveys in your country, or if you have seen higher rewards for the same surveys on other sites. That does not mean it can always do something about it, but it is a nice touch.
Paid offersCan boost earnings
There are a lot of offerwalls with free trials, app downloads, more surveys, games and more. It can be a good way to boost your earnings, but read the conditions carefully. Some offers are not worth it. Personally, I prefer the top GPT sites for paid offers.
Paid clicks (PTC)Extremely low
You click ads and visit the websites they send you to, for around 0.001 points per ad. It is very easy, but not worth it if you ask me. Read more in my full PTC guide.
Watching videosVery low
You get paid for every 3 to 4 videos you watch, or more precisely, for the ads in between them. You do not have to watch the screen, but the rewards are really low.
Free contestsSmall bonuses
You take part in most contests automatically by being active. Most of them are small bonuses for a certain activity, like 5 points when you earn 100 points in a day. Nice when you are active, but not a way to make big money.
Promo codesVery few points
Keep Rewarding sometimes shares promo codes on social media or in emails. You redeem them under Redeem, then Promo codes. They give very few points, so do not chase them.
How much can you make?
There are quite a lot of earning options, and Keep Rewarding often gives almost the same rewards as some of the big sites. But it can be a bit confusing, so you need some time to learn how to use it well.
If you are a bit patient, it can make you some extra cash on the side. In my experience, it will not be quite as effective as the top GPT sites.
Payout options and points per dollar
| Cashout | Points it costs |
|---|---|
| $1 | 110 points |
| $5 | 500 points |
| $10 | 995 points |
You redeem your points for cash through PayPal, or for gift cards to for example Amazon and Walmart. You get better value for your points the longer you wait to cash out.
If you want cash, there are many PayPal sites with better opportunities, in my opinion. See the top sites that pay via PayPal.

Why is the keep rewarding website so slow? Loading…
You need to ask their support about this.
Thank you for your very thorough and honest review, we do have plans for a site overhaul in the future which we hope will make us a lot more user friendly.
Yes we do claim to offer higher reward amounts than bigger reward sites and we do our best to stick to this promise. If somewhere is paying more for a survey/offer then we will always do our best to match or beat it.
One major part of our slogan you did miss however is that ‘If we don’t then let us know’ While we do our best to look around to make sure we can keep to our claim, we also rely on feedback from members if they feel we could do better with a payout on certain offers.
However you have definitely opened our eyes wider with your review that ‘Giving more than big reward sites’ certainly encompasses a lot more than just giving more points for rewards, it is about the entire experience. Again we hope our future site redesign will help with this. We recently took steps to address this by improving the look of our Reward Store.
Hopefully in the future we can improve on this and we would love to get your feedback on them when they happen. Maybe one day we will make it into your top lists!
Kind Regards,
Keep Rewarding Team
