It pays out, but tiny rewards and a confusing system
Anyone can join, but ads pay around $0.001 each, and several readers report losing money on the paid upgrades and rented referrals.
On this page
The short answer
NeoBux is not a scam in the sense that it does pay out. But that does not mean it is a good option for you to earn extra money. It is very confusing to use, and most earning methods pay very small rewards.
To have a real chance of earning, you have to pay for upgrades or rented referrals, and you can end up losing money. Several readers told me they did, and some say their account was suspended. It is not a site I personally find worth it, as there are many sites with better opportunities.
- Anybody can join
- Has several earning opportunities
- Several payout methods, including crypto
- The site is available in 9 languages
- Very confusing to use
- It takes an investment to have a chance to earn
- Small rewards for most earning methods
- Not mobile-friendly
- You can end up losing money
- Coin offers are only credited after 60 days

Is NeoBux legit and safe?
NeoBux does pay out, so in that sense it is not a scam. But I would not put money into it. Here is what you should know before you join.
- You can lose money on upgrades and rented referrals
Several readers reported that they were cheated out of quite a lot of money. Most invested a lot in rented referrals and upgrades. Rented referrals cost $0.20-$0.27 each for a month, and there is no guarantee how active they will be.
- Several readers report suspended accounts
Several readers wrote that their account was suspended or frozen, some with money they could not cash out, and others that they were banned from the forum after asking about their referrals. I cannot check these accounts myself.
- Paid memberships
Usually, I warn people against any survey or GPT site that charges a fee. NeoBux has a free membership, so you can stay with that. The Golden membership costs $90 per year, and golden packs cost more.
- A very confusing system
Referral limits, click requirements, coin exchange rates and membership levels all have their own rules. It is hard to see how much it really takes to make a profit.
- No money adders or cheat bots
NeoBux uses anti-cheat systems. If it finds out you try to cheat, you get banned and lose any earnings you have.
My takeOverall, NeoBux has some potential, but the biggest downside is that it is very confusing to use. I also think it is a huge minus that you have to pay to upgrade to have a chance of earning, and you can end up losing a lot of money if you are not careful. Overall, it is not a site I personally find worth it, as there are so many other sites with better opportunities.
How you earn on NeoBux
NeoBux lists 8 ways to earn. Two of them are no longer available. Tap one to read more.
SurveysDepends on country
NeoBux offers a decent number of surveys, but whether there are any depends on where you live. You take them through third-party sites, so it can take patience to find surveys you qualify for. In my experience, many sites offer better survey opportunities.
Clicking adsAround $0.001 per ad
Clicking ads (PTC) is what NeoBux is famous for. Each ad takes around 10 seconds, and you get around $0.001 per ad. You would need to click 1000 ads to earn $1. That is not a very good value for your time.
Some parts of NeoBux only open after you click enough ads. For example, you cannot upgrade your membership until you have clicked 100 ads.
AdPrize chancesNo longer available
You got 4 AdPrize chances for each paid ad you clicked. You watched an ad for 5-10 seconds without pay, for a chance to win points. I never won anything myself.
Paid offersCoins, after 60 days
Offerwalls let you download apps, take extra surveys, sign up for free trials and more. You earn coins, not cash, and they are only credited after 60 days. The same offerwalls are on many other sites with better overall opportunities, so I prefer to take them there.
Paid games$0.001 per session
There is a really good selection of games. You have to play at least 2 minutes per session, and you get paid for a maximum of 100 sessions a day. That would only earn you $0.10 and take you more than 8 hours. Only play them for fun.
Referral programSmall commissions
You earn $0.005-$0.01 per ad click from your referrals, 12% of the mini-jobs they do, and 20% for coin offers. But your membership limits how many referrals you can have, and you only earn from their clicks if you clicked enough ads yourself in the last 24 hours. You need A LOT of active referrals to make any money.
Rented referralsCosts money
You can rent referrals for $0.20-$0.27 each for a 1-month rental. You only get referrals that clicked at least 11 ads in the last 5 days, but there is no guarantee how active they will be. Most complaints I have seen come from people who invested a lot in rented referrals. Do not jump into this.
QuizzesNo longer available
You earned between $0.0001 and $0.0110 per quiz, and you only saw the reward after you finished. A quiz took 5-10 minutes, and you had to subscribe to browser notifications from a third-party site. It was not an effective way to earn.
How much can you make?
It is extremely hard to say. NeoBux has some potential, but it is made in a very confusing way. If you are not careful, it will cost you more than you make.
The free options pay very little: around $0.001 per ad, and $0.001 per game session. To earn more, NeoBux pushes you towards paid memberships and rented referrals. To make that worth it, you need a lot of referrals and have to be very active yourself.
If you still want to try it, do not invest anything until you have earned enough on NeoBux itself to use. If you want extra money without the complications, there are many better GPT and survey sites that are simpler to use and have no paid upgrades.
Payout methods and coin exchange
| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
| Skrill, Neteller, Violet or Tipalti | Cash from ads, surveys, games and mini-jobs |
| Crypto | One of the most recent payout options |
| Coins from offers | Exchanged for cash, credited after 60 days |
Clicks on ads, surveys, games and mini-jobs pay in cash. Coin offers pay in coins, which you exchange for cash. The coins are only credited after 60 days. NeoBux says this is for security reasons, but it is a very long wait. AirTM is no longer available.
The coin exchange rate depends on how many coins you exchange. At the minimum of 2500 coins, you get $0.8 per 1000 coins, so $2. At the maximum of 100,000 coins, you get $1.7 per 1000 coins, so $170.
What 70 comments told me
This review has 70 comments since 2018: 37 from readers and 33 replies from me. These are the things readers write about most.
Most are from Golden and Ultimate members with thousands of rented referrals. They say the referrals clicked less and less over time, until they made a loss.
Readers report accounts suspended or frozen with money left in them, and forum bans after questions about their referrals.
Some readers earn a bit on the side with surveys and mini-jobs, and say they were paid. Most of them also warn against spending money on rentals.
NeoBux does pay out, and it is still live. But I do not recommend it.
“But as an Ulltimate member with almost 6000 leased referrals, I was making 50-70% loss per year after expenses.”
Mikael: I agree it is a site to be careful of, as I also warn about in the review above.
“After this, my account got suspended without the ability to cash out.”
Mikael: Unfortunately, you are not the first that shares this type of story.
“No, Neobux is not a scam I have gotten paid several times. However, you have to be wise about how to use it.”
Mikael: Glad my article helped you.
Sites I recommend instead of NeoBux
| Site | Best for | Min. cashout | My rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| PrizeRebel | Surveys, tasks and offers, with a very low threshold | $5 PayPal; some gift cards from $2 | 4.8 / 5 |
| ySense | Surveys, tasks and offers, one of my favorite survey sites | $10 PayPal; $5 Amazon gift cards | 4.0 / 5 |
| TimeBucks | Many small ways to earn, in almost every country | $3 | 3.9 / 5 |
| Cointiply | Small tasks and offers, paid in crypto | $3 for some cryptos | 3.6 / 5 |

If you have any comments, questions, or experiences with NeoBux, I would love to hear from you in a comment below.
I think it went out of business it turned out to be a scam the owner is from Portugal
Why do you think it went out of business? It looks like it is still live.
Ultimate members who brag on the forum about how much they earn and that they don’t have to go to work are more or less people deployed by the admin. But as an Ulltimate member with almost 6000 leased referrals, I was making 50-70% loss per year after expenses. Rented referrals are just bots set up by the admin that click according to how the admin programs them. I myself am surprised that Neobux is still working after such a long time, since it is a pure ponzi scheme. There are probably still plenty of fools, like me, who invest a lot under the guise of getting rich quick. So this is a pure ponzi scam.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I agree it is a site to be careful of, as I also warn about in the review above. I personally really dislike when site offer rentad referrals as it is rarely profitable and often makes the system so confusing that people do not realize how much it takes to make a profit.
I joined Neobux right at the start in 2008 and ditched it a year later after losing money by getting sucked into investing in the rented referral scheme. After reading your review – which I have to say is very fair, thorough and balanced – it’s clear to see they haven’t changed their business model whatsoever in 15 years! What amazes me is that they are still operating.
I used to run a blog informing people about PTC sites but I washed my hands of the whole “industry” in 2014. I think anyone who has been involved knows GPT sites are most certainly are not get rich schemes (or get rich slowly schemes) but Neobux was in my opinion one of the worst.
I really hope people read your review before investing any money in it. In fact my advice would be to steer well clear of Neobux altogether.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
scam but a slow one. I had thousands of refferals top membership you name it. and the whole thing was just a scam. if you even look at the amount of income from there forum it doesnt even profit lol. if you add gold and ultimate membership and add the price per day for all of that and include the refferal price per day. even they lose money. complete scam
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I have been using Neobux since 4 months. After the first 2 months of testing and some reading i bought the Golden Pack. I ve already got some daily Profit. Indeed, it works!
Yes, it works, BUT there are some risks you need to be aware of, as I explain in the review above.
Hi, thank you for the information that you have provided. I was thinking about upgrading, but after reading your article, I realize that it is not worth it. No, Neobux is not a scam I have gotten paid several times. However, you have to be wise about how to use it. Just use it as extra money you found on the floor. Best of luck to you.
Glad my article helped you.
been using this site for a while and i can rate it 0 out of 10
the site is automatically designed to make u lose money
I agree it is not a good site as I also explain in the review above.
I used their “service” many years ago. In my opinion, it’s a scam. Only, it’s a more or less well done scam. They didn’t steal my money, in the true sense of the term. I managed to withdraw the remaining money.
But it is impossible to win justly. I was a golden member, and rented referrals never pay a golden member’s annual fee or their rental cost.
Plus, there aren’t enough ads and they only pay pennies even if you enter the site daily.
As with all scams, it’s the user’s fault.
However, the rent of referrals is high and must be constantly renewed. You pay to remove the unproductive ones (which are almost all). There is a limit for human referrals (another red flag). Advertisements yield a merely symbolic value, and the cost of a membership is stupid.
Thanks for sharing your experiences about this.
A fraudulent website ! I was blocked for no reason, I just wasted two months of time, I went in every day and clicked on all the views, sometimes I took surveys ! Today I enter it frozen, it’s strange that there are pennies left before the withdrawal !SCAMMERS !
Sorry to hear that. But thanks for sharing your experiences.
I was a Neobux user and my goal was to reach the 12k referrals to win 15 dollars a day. Arrive at 7K referrals when my AVG. Up to 0.49 on my worst day. I saw how every day lost 10 dollars and I had to accommodate the dates so that the greatest number of referrals expire on the same date and can recover the highest possible amount. Just recover about 1800 from my 7000 investment. I felt very bad for losing my money in the 3 years I was on that page. And these last years I felt the same because in my last year Neobux eliminated Paypal. So to put money to my account, I bought Bitcoin so you can put dollars on my Neteller account and put that money in Neobux. If I would only have stayed with a bitcoin !!! At that time it cost about 700 dollars I think.
I was young and dreamy. I would have won more, depositing my money on the bank with their little interest.
Sorry to hear that. But thanks for sharing your experiences.
I was a member of Neobux for about ten years. It was fine for awhile, I became a gold member, and for awhile, I did ok. I had around 900 referrals. At one time, there were a lot of ads on Neobus, some days, over 100 ads. Being upgraded, and with my referrals, I was making a profit just by clicking ads. That stopped a couple of years ago, and my referral clicks went way down. I quit last year, I couldn’t make a profit with maybe 10 to 15 ads a day, so I just stopped. I’ve heard complaints like the ones here before, glad I got out.
Thanks for sharing your experiences about this.
I must unfortunately join the discusion about Neobux. I was ultimate member with 10 000 referrals. Over time my averages got lower and lower and it became very hard to make profit. When I started discussion about this on forum, my topics got removed. After a warning from admin that I should say this “lies” I made a rigorous analysis about the future earning if thing won’t improve. After this, my account got suspended without the ability to cash out. All of my posts on forum got deleted as well. Stay away from this web.
Unfortunately, you are not the first that shares this type of story. Thank you very much for sharing this.
I’m using neobux for a few months and it’s actually a nice way to earn side income, They have a lot of short surveys and tasks and they always pay instantly.
Great to hear. Thanks for sharing your experience. If you like taking surveys on Neobux, I would suggest also checking out other sites because in my experience you can often get a higher reward for the exact same surveys on other sites.
Neobux is shit, and scam site. believe me, you can see the big account Magnet5674 was also dieing
his rented refs is decreasing from 50000 to 2xxxx
You can think why ?
Many ultimate members was banned from forum with no reason, and the avg was controlled.
Buddy Don’t trust neobux !!
I was also an ultimate member with over 20000 rented refferals. Over time, my average got manipulated so far down that I got out of neboux at pretty much break even. The site is a total scam. I am sorry for all the direct refferals that I got over time through advertising on other sites. Tons of people got dragged into this because I was stupid and I can only hope that no one got seriously damaged through my actions. I know that the scammers themselves are mostly to blame, but I still feel a bit guilty for spreading this crap.
All of these direct refferals were either zero-clickers or clicked all their ads by the way. None of these irregular patterns you would see with rented refferals. And I had thousands of direct refs. They either had 4 clicks, or 9 if they were a gold member, or 15 if they were an ultimate member.
Neobux is 100% a scam, so I can only urge people to stay away from it or leave it as soon as possible. And NEVER EVER promote shit like this to other people, the blame you will feel afterwards is not pretty, trust me. All I can do now is warn others about it. Don’t get blinded by greed like I did.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and a warning about this.
Neobux are the biggest and by far the most longlived scam you can find.
The name of the Admin is “Fernando José Teixeira Rato”, a smart guy from Porto in Portugal.
I have been a member in NeoBux for many years, I joined 2010 and bulit up my account with thousands of referrals which costed me around 5,000 USD. Luckily I was able to cashout more than I invested cause suddenly the rented referral average dropped dramatically. From 0.7 to 0.3 within just a few weeks, so I made a loss every day. I had more than 12 000 rented referrals and my dream was to have as many as the guy reggen666 or magnet5674 with his 50 000 rented referrla. But now I’m lucky that I didnt waste even more money and time on that site.
I was one of the guys who defended Neobux (silly me) as long as it bringed me money. Alot of people in the forum asked if the rented referrals where humans or bots, and idiotically I was one of them who belived in the legitness of Neobux and defended the site. Admin didnt have to answer much of these questions cause he had alot of usefull idiots like me who defended the site.
I really hate that a**hole Fernando Rato, cause he have stolen alot of peoples money by making up a site that promise people a brighter future without (or a small) investment, and when they are on the top and starts to cashout, he manipulate the average so the poor bastards, who even took bank loans to speed up the process, doesnt make a cent.
Fernando Rato should be reportd to authorites and put in jail. He belongs there among all other thiefs.
wow – that sounds crazy. Thanks for sharing your experience so others can see and learn from it.
Not the first time I heard something like this. I did not really like the options on Neobux at first but after having seen yours and other stories as well, I like it even less.
Again, thanks for taking the time to share it.
Mikael
woo – that sounds crazy indeed: Someone is telling us he earned money and specifically more than $5000 and then he’s accusing those who paid him as scammers. It doesn’t make any sense.
The truth is that neobux never guaranteed any amount of earnings, but since even the one who is accusing them without providing any proof earned more than $5000, it seems that earning there is pretty possible. I’m earning a side income on neobux for a couple of years already and never had any real problem with that site, so my personal experience confirms that earning money on that site is possible .
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
But the person you are referring to does actually not say he made more than $5000 – he says he invested more than $5000 but luckily made it back. That does not mean he earned $5000.
I definitely agree that Neobux does not guarantee any amount of earnings but I still find the story he mentions very relevant as he is not the only one I have heard it from.
If you read my review, you will see that my point is not to say Neobux is a scam but that you can actually earn there. But it will be limited compared to many other sites and there are many aspects I do not like and do not think are user-friendly. And people also just need to know what they are getting into and be careful about investing in referrals because they think it might be a way to make a lot of money – the comments here show that people indeed should be careful investing too much.
So the point is not that you cannot earn on Neobux but that it is not the most effective site in my experience and you should be careful investing in any of the paid options as you can end up losing a lot of money.
Mikael, he says that he spent $5,000 (and labeled that as “investment”) and he got paid more than $5000.
To get paid more than $5000, you have to earn more than $5,000.
Among all the unfounded accusations, it seems he forgot to tell us how much more that $5000 he earned. If he says the truth, what happened is that he spent $5,000 to buy services and he also earned from neobux more than $5,000.
I have a different opinion than yours for that specific site, since on the contrary to what you say, it seems they’re paying more than many other sites for surveys and tasks. At least that’s my experience. To be more specific, they pay more than other GPTs for Figure Eight tasks, for Pollfish, Yuno and Samplicio.us surveys and probably some more surveys sources that I cannot recall right now. I know that simply by comparing the same surveys and tasks in multiple sites.
But, I agree that spending money on rentals should not be done with great expectations, because there’s no guarantee of any positive results. It’s like a form of gambling in my opinion and when you gamble, you may win but you may lose as well. A simple rule when you wish to gamble is to consider money as lost in advance and accept a possible loss as something natural.
The comments here actually show that some people earned pretty high amounts, unless if you don’t consider 25,000 a high amount for example. So IMO, the correct conclusion would be that if you spend money on referrals, you may end up wasting a lot of money but you also may end up earning a lot of money.
By the way, I noticed profanity in some of people’s comments and usernames, so I would suggest you to ask those people to edit their content accordingly or alternatively, you could moderate them a bit. It’s weird in my opinion to see profanity when comments have to be approved before get posted, while you don’t use any profanity in your polite texts and comments.
It seems we very much agree with the gambling aspect of renting referrals. But I do not agree that people might earn a lot by doing it – it will be a very small part of people that will be able to any money that way. And as you can see from the comments here, they also say that it was in the past they could make money like that but then they got banned.
The reality for most people will be the will lose money and people deserve to know this so they do not join and start investing a lot without knowing the risk and the very small chance of earning anything that way. In addition to this, I also really dislike the very expensive memberships people are encouraged to buy which becomes another risk of losing money for most people.
As for the rewards for surveys, I have tested hundreds of survey sites and, in my experience, there are many sites that are better than Neobux and that give higher rewards. Especially considering the overall options on the site and the fact that you can end up losing money on Nebux if you get carried away which is not possible on many other sites.
As for the profanity, thanks for making me aware. I do take care of this, in general, and do not approve if people are abusive or anything like that. I actually regularly block comments that are abusive just for the sake of being it without any real content. In this case, there is one username that might be considered insulting and I will just block that part of the name right away – sorry I missed that. But thanks for making me aware and this is definitely something I will keep a closer eye on in the future.
But it is good to hear you are enjoying Neobux. It is always good to get differnt opinions and experiences and that is also why I allow both positive and negative comments on my website so people can read different points of view.
So thank you for taking the time to share your experiences here.
Rogga? really? That hapened to you too?. I know you, and you probably remember me as well. I talked to you on neobux. It didn’t even cross my mind that this thing about the Ultimate Members was actually true. But I finally realized that that guy is a thief. i want to talk with you. to know about details you can trust me. I can’t say who I am yet cause I didn’t cash out yet wich I plan to do in some months because I need to return my investment. But even so I’m gonna loose money there probably contact me pls. [email protected]
I’m the user lusboy.
I’ve started legal actions through a law firm in Portugal.
You can do it as well.
I had 4 accounts with over 45,000 rented referrals across the 4 accounts that took me 3 years to accumulate at a cost of approximately $18,000 out of pocket between 2011 to 2016. I had a decent amount of monthly income of about $1,500 to $1,800 which I was able to cash out to paypal every so often.
From 2016 to 2019, they slowly killed my accounts. The rented referral averages dropped from .70’s to < .50 which meant that I couldn't renew the referrals since they were making a loss. In each account, I sent questions or posted on the forum. Not complaining, just asking what I could do to improve the averages. Upon the first question/post I sent to the support staff, the account was immediately banned from the forum and I had little recourse. Just had to let the account die since I wasn't about to put more money in.
Thankfully, by that point I had returned all my original investment and cashed out about $25,000 in profit before they caught on or decided to globally kill accounts by lowering averages of the rented referrals.
It was nice while it lasted but most likely works a lot like a ponzi scheme. If you got in at Neobux early enough (around 2008-09) and built up big account(s), you made out like a bandit albeit at the expense of other newer members investing their money.
I would highly recommend staying away from this site based on their business practices. Like most other ponzi's there is a tipping point where they can't pay back what they owe because no new money is coming into the system. Shutdowns at Payza and Paypal helped accelerate this I suspect.
Thank you very much for sharing all of your experience Mike. That is very helpful to know from someone who has used it so intensely.
Glad to hear you ended up getting your investment back. But definitely sounds like something to be careful about getting involved in with too much investment.
Thanks,
Mikael
Sure Mikael, we have to be careful to avoid earning $25,000, LOL
If that is your income goal you will be very disappointed by Neobux or any other PTC site:-). You seem to be missing the point of the comment.
Mikael, you made a conclusion that someone should be careful based on the comment of someone who claims he earned $25,000 more than what he spent.
If you believe him, you have to admit that it’s actually possible to make that kind of money on that site. If you don’t believe him, your conclusion is based on data you don’t believe and that doesn’t make sense.
As I wrote in another comment, renting referrals is like a form of gambling. Therefore, I don’t disagree that someone should be careful when he’s gambling but on the other hand the potential profit is there and it’s up to you if you wish to take the risk.
Personally, I don’t believe the average person could make $25,000 in neobux, but I believe that some people really made that kind of money there. On the other hand, earning between $50 and $200 per month without any referrals is pretty much possible according to my experience and IMO, that’s not bad at all for a side income.
The point in the comment is that it was in the past it was possible to earn that much – and the person is sharing how his account was killed. Also, I definitely agree with his point that if you got into Neobux early enough it could have been lucrative – but my point is that for the majority of people they have to be careful about investing anything at all on sites like this. The majority will end up losing money instead of earning and that is what people need to know.
So it seems we agree about many things – but what we do not agree about is how important it is to point out to people that if they get into buying memberships, renting referrals, etc. on Nebox it becomes very risky. People need to be aware of this so they do not get carried away.
In my review, I also mention that it can be a site to make a bit of extra money on the side but that I would advise people not to invest anything and if they want to test it, they should test small.
So I do not disagree that it is possible to make a bit of side cash on Neobux. But I dislike the whole way the website is made and the business model where a lot of people can end up losing money because the whole system is so confusing and it is hard to figure out exactly what is going on and how risky it is to invest.
For these reasons it is not a site I recommend. If you like using it, that is great for you. But it is not one I will recommend but still good to hear about other experiences so thank you for sharing your opinions.
Clicking on 10 – 15 ads a day at a huge $0.001 each will earn you about as much as the lint in your pocket is worth. On top of that for every ad you click you get the chance to view another 4 unpaid for a chance to win a prize, which sadly you never do. Getting paid for 10 – 15 ads and then earning them money for the 40 – 60 ad prize clicks hardly seems fair.
Ignore all these websites claiming to show you how you can earn hundreds of dollars a week there by purchasing rented referrals, the strategies will not work. They are just trying to recruit you as a direct referral which is the only way to make anything.
The rented referral system is deliberately complex and you will never recoup what you paid so your loosing money on every one. They even have the cheek to charge you again once the rental period expires!
If you like these PTC sites and don’t mind cashing out in bitcoin give Cointiply a try. Its the best paying one I’ve found. I’m withdrawing $10 a week with minimum effort and no referrals.
Hi Bob,
I agree that Neobux is a bit confusing and not the most effective way to earn.
Thanks for your suggestion about Cointiply. I will definitely check it out.

hi Mikael
An error occurred because I violated the rules actually I accidentally
Siddiqui as the income on account of the personal computer came to pass, error and entered upon account in 2 computer and violating the rules
For I did not mean it was wrong .. And I promise you I will not do this again ..
My account : BesoCRaz
Please lift the ban if you would
You need to contact Neobux’s support about this. I just own this website and have reviewed Neobux and do not have anything to do with the platform so cannot lift the ban.
Neobux is a scam! Lost over $2000 and alot of my time. Initially, the rented referrals were earning a nice chunck of money per day but the bots ‘rented referals’ estentially clicked lower and lower each day. My account was lossing alot of money. My account is now deep in the red by over $500.
Also, the admin doesn’t give a rats ass. Their support just banned me from their forum when I question why I can’t post on the forum to ask about my low clicks by the bots.
Sorry to hear this Ann. That is a lot of money. You are not the first that has had problems with not getting good support there. Several people have unfortunately shared similar stories with me. Thank you very much for sharing your experiences so others can see and take this into consideration before deciding whether to join Neobux or not.
Mikael
Neobux is scam or legit please answer
Hi Bijaya,
Neobux does pay out, so in that sense it is not a scam.
In my opinion it does however not have very good opportunities, and it is very confusing to use compared to the top paying survey sites.
Hope this clarifies it and let me know, if you have more questions.
Mikael
Well I’m a Member of neobux since 9 days. I earned around 8 $ by now. I rented 3 referrals for .6$ 30 referrals for 6$ (just today). I donno about these new referrals. Only one has made clicks, but first three are sometimes active, sometimes not :/ though i think if you have enough patience (i have both) and time you can make a little money from it :v
Thanks for sharing your experiences Ramesh. Hope it works out well for you with the rented referrals. Feel free to keep us updated how you find Neobux after you have been there for a while.
All the best,
Mikael
I dont think you’ve earned that much money in pure profit from Neobux with just 33 rented referrals. Rember you also have expenses who comes along, with extending the referral rent. The more you earn, the more expnses you’ll have. I was a NeoBux member with more than 12000 rented referrals and didnt make more than a half dollar per day, but most days I didnt make even that much. I wasnt alone having this happening to me, Admin manipulated the average so my earnings came below the break even point, and it didnt matter how much I recycled the bad refferrals. When you finally have the Ultimate membership and a couple of thousands of referrals and dont wanna invest more money from your own pocket and just want to sit back and let the referrals work for you, NeoBux Admin manipulate the average so you will not make anything. Believe me, this has happened to many of us old Neobux members.
Stay away from neobux!
I recently had a bad experience with Neobux. If you put a question on forum that they dont feel comfortable to answer they simply block you from forum and they’re saying you were rude. If you contact the support and fill a ticket they just simply make their own truth and tell you that you’re trying to distort the truth. They deny completely you side of the story. They dont like people asking questions, they shut people’s voices and they play the victim.
No wonder Paypal and Payza stopped their association with Neobux. They lost their credibility.
My case was about referrals developing a pattern similar to bots. I asked them why they give 3 clicks before the auto recycle cycle and then they die till next cycle. I got blocked out of forums. They acted exactly like a football player when you touch it.
Sorry to hear you had that experience Peter. Sounds like a fair question you asked, and no matter what it is not fair the support just shuts you down without explanation.
Personally, I am also not spending time on Neobux anymore, as I don’t find it worth it.
Thanks for sharing your experience and story hear, so other people can hear about it.
All the best,
Mikael
Hai,
Please – my neobux ads account only shows 14 or 15 daily ads available. Can I receive extra ads for my account – any tips please inform me.
Hi Bhukrish,
It is very normal that you do not get more ads available. There is unfortunately not any ways to get access to more as far as I am aware.
In general, I think Neobux has limited earning potential, and that is why it is not one of the sites I am using much myself anymore. But if you let me know which country you live in, I can try to recommend a few other good survey and get-paid-to sites that might have more opportunities for you?
All the best,
Mikael
pls Mikael am from Nigeria, can you suggest a legit ptc sites. Tnx
Some great sites that are available in Nigeria are: ClixSense, Superpay.me, Toluna, Triaba and Mobrog.
The last three on the last or pure survey sites, which means paid surveys is the only way to earn there. The first two have several ways you can earn.
Hope this helps and let me know, if you have any more questions.
Mikael
Hi Bhukrish,
To get more ads you should install the discreet browser extension neobux provides. It’s called adalert and you will find a link for it at the bottom right of any page when you are logged in. As long as you have the browser open, it will notify you for new ads.
You can also earn much more than clicking on ads by completing surveys and mini jobs. They have several survey providers such as samplicio, yuno, your surveys, pollfish and surveytime and in my experience, they usually offer higher payments for the same surveys than other sites. Also, they pay more for the mini jobs than any other partner of F8 as far as I know. I personally earn a lot by completing mini jobs and surveys, so I think you can do the same. It’s also the only survey site I know that always pays instantly upon request. Good luck to you 🙂
Thanks for sharing your experiences and tips Maria. One thing I just want to add is that I have taken surveys on hundreds of sites and Neobux actually offers lower rewards for many of them than GPT and survey sites. The rewards might be slightly higher in some cases than other PTC sites but compared to survey and GPT sites the rewards are lower on Neobux, in my experience.
Mikael you are a legend keep up the good work.
Thank you Derek Brian for your kind words. I appreciate it.
All the best,
Mikael
Very interesting. I heard of the survey money making site kind of things. I have never been a fan of them. Because normally you have to make a certain amount before you can cash out and you earn so little. I have not heard about this one though. I am not sure if i would try it because it seems tiring, but this is a good review and you have explained everything that i would want to know. Thanks and keep it up!
Thanks for your comment and feedback Justin.
There are survey sites that are definitely worth joining – depending on the expectations. But there are many that can give some nice extra money on the side. About the payout threshold you mention – some sites have high payout threshold where you have to wait a long time to be able to get your rewards. But there are luckily also many sites where you can very quickly reach the payout threshold as it is only between $1-$5.
Anyways, I am glad you enjoyed my review.
All the best,
Mikael
I had never heard of Neobux prior to reading this informative article!
Wow… I have to commend you for your thoroughness. I learned so much about this particular program.
I do have to say that to me… Neobux sounds like a ripoff! Making less than one cent for all of that time just sounds so silly!
I will definitely not be partaking in this! Thanks again for this information… I now know to avoid Neobux! ((:
Thanks for your comment and feedback.
It is also not a site I am too crazy about. But as mentioned, it can have some potential with the right plan and for people that are willing to recruit a lot of other members. But as you, it will also not be a site I will be using too much.
All the best,
Mikael
state lontani da neobux,la truffa piu grande che c’è in rete,ero utente ultimate con 12 mila referenti,le medie ridotte all’osso e alla fine sospeso dal forum e poi sospeso l’account,fortunatamente ero già in positivo ma il guadagno che ancora dovevo prendere di circa 8000$ me li ha rubati.sul forum non puoi piu scrivere,i nomi sono stati coperti con la scusa della privacy,non puoi avvisare nessuno di ciò che sta succedendo,non investite neanche un $,fate chiudere i battenti a questo truffatore.una volta che raggiungi il recupero dei tuoi soldi investiti non avrai nessun guadagno,x recuperarli serviranno anni che è quello che vuole,poi crack il gioco è fatto.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Unfortunately, I do not speak Italian but have tried to use Google Translate and if it correct, you are telling about how you have lost money on the site and advise people to stay away from Neobux.
I have actually heard similar stories from quite a few people. That is also one of the reasons I do not recommend people to join it.
Again, thanks for sharing your experiences with the rest of us so people can see what to be aware of before joining.
