## Transcript

A fairly new earning platform called EarnStar&nbsp; claims that you can earn up to $100 per game you&nbsp;&nbsp; play. But is that actually realistic? I joined,&nbsp; I tested it, and I have now earned enough to get&nbsp;&nbsp; paid. And in this video, I'll show you exactly&nbsp; what I found and show you a live withdrawal so&nbsp;&nbsp;
you know exactly what to expect. In case you&nbsp; don't know, my name is Mikael and I have tested&nbsp;&nbsp; hundreds of different ways to make money online.&nbsp; And recently, I've had several people reach out&nbsp;&nbsp;
asking if EarnStar is legit and whether it's worth&nbsp; joining. So, I decided to test it myself and see&nbsp;&nbsp; if that bold $100 per game claim holds up. In this&nbsp; video, I'll take you inside. I'll show you exactly&nbsp;&nbsp;
how it works and reveal both the pros and the cons&nbsp; and what you should know before signing up. And of&nbsp;&nbsp; course, we'll test the withdrawal together to see&nbsp; how fast it really pays. So, let's get into it.&nbsp;&nbsp; So, let's start by going over who can join&nbsp; EarnStar. And it both has a website and&nbsp;&nbsp;
also an app for Android and iOS devices. So, you&nbsp; can earn from basically all devices. And it is,&nbsp;&nbsp; of course, as all legit get-paid-to sites are&nbsp; free to join. And you can see the countries it's&nbsp;&nbsp;
currently available in here. In some countries,&nbsp; it is available in different languages. It is&nbsp;&nbsp; available in quite a few countries. I will also&nbsp; leave a link below here so you can go to a page&nbsp;&nbsp; of the countries I know they are currently really&nbsp; recruiting in and trying to find new members in.&nbsp;&nbsp;
So you can easily find the exact platform for your&nbsp; country. It is available in quite a few. And as&nbsp;&nbsp; you can see on the website here, it says that you&nbsp; can earn up to $100 per game. So let's now log in&nbsp;&nbsp;
and then take a look together at exactly what it&nbsp; offers. So I have now logged into EarnStar and&nbsp;&nbsp; it is quite user friendly in my opinion whether&nbsp; you use the website or the app and you just come&nbsp;&nbsp;
in here and here you get a good overview of the&nbsp; earning methods and you can see you can easily&nbsp;&nbsp; just filter depending on your device and the main&nbsp; way to earn here is the games. It also offers paid&nbsp;&nbsp; surveys quite a lot also and decent paying surveys&nbsp; also. So definitely also something you should use&nbsp;&nbsp;
if you decide to join to boost your earnings.&nbsp; But as you can see, it does offer quite a lot&nbsp;&nbsp; of different paid games here. You can also&nbsp; click here on offers and get a full overview of&nbsp;&nbsp; the games. You can see right now as of recording&nbsp; this video, there are some of them that give&nbsp;&nbsp;
bonuses. That's of course not always the case,&nbsp; but that means that some of them give really,&nbsp;&nbsp; really high rewards. Already the rewards here per&nbsp; game are quite high compared to many other get&nbsp;&nbsp; paid to sites. I've tested hundreds of get paid&nbsp; to sites and many of them offer some of the same&nbsp;&nbsp;
games. And here is definitely some of the higher&nbsp; rewards I have seen. And I do like that they also&nbsp;&nbsp; display how many people have actually been able to&nbsp; complete this offer. But when it comes to gaming&nbsp;&nbsp; offers like this, just be aware that just because,&nbsp; for example, it says here that you can earn $369.&nbsp;&nbsp;
So it doesn't mean that you of course just&nbsp; download it and then you get paid $369. That's&nbsp;&nbsp; of course not how it works. You need to find a&nbsp; game you actually like playing and then there's&nbsp;&nbsp; a chance that you can definitely get some of the&nbsp; rewards and in some cases all of them. So you just&nbsp;&nbsp;
need to click and then you can see uh you have to&nbsp; see the exact requirements to get the different&nbsp;&nbsp; rewards. For example here on installing sometimes&nbsp; you get a little bonus just for installing. In&nbsp;&nbsp; this case not so much but you can scroll down&nbsp; here and see when you collect 100 trophies and if&nbsp;&nbsp;
and then you can see the rewards get higher&nbsp; and higher and then sometimes also if you make&nbsp;&nbsp; purchases you also get some bonuses there or get&nbsp; some earnings. So to get the full earnings in many&nbsp;&nbsp;
cases that will mean you need to invest. So of&nbsp; course you need to be a little bit clever look at&nbsp;&nbsp; it. Does it make sense? In some cases it does make&nbsp; sense to move up the ladder and get it. But of&nbsp;&nbsp; course always just calculate what makes sense for&nbsp; you and you can easily see exactly what you need&nbsp;&nbsp;
to do and definitely has high earning potential&nbsp; for some of these games. Overall, when it comes&nbsp;&nbsp; to games, I always recommend that you choose&nbsp; games that you also enjoy playing because many&nbsp;&nbsp; of these games, you can see even Monopoly,&nbsp; Dice Streams, they're all kind of a popular games&nbsp;&nbsp;
that you would, in many cases, just play anyway.&nbsp; So, why not install them through a site like&nbsp;&nbsp; EarnStar for example, and then you will actually&nbsp; potentially earn really good money just by using&nbsp;&nbsp; it anyways. Just be aware that sometimes there is&nbsp; a deadline. You can see that in the description if&nbsp;&nbsp;
it's within a certain amount of time you need to&nbsp; reset you. In this case, for example, it would be&nbsp;&nbsp; within 60 days that I would have to do it. So&nbsp; keep that in mind because if you just install&nbsp;&nbsp; it and then wait and then the time expires, then&nbsp; you won't earn the rewards even if you reach these&nbsp;&nbsp;
different levels. So just bear that in mind. But&nbsp; overall, as you can see, it definitely has some&nbsp;&nbsp; quite high rewards for the different games. But&nbsp; also be aware that the exact offers and games&nbsp;&nbsp;
available will vary from time to time. New ones&nbsp; are added regularly. And also the exact rewards,&nbsp;&nbsp; the exact games will also vary depending on the&nbsp; country you live in. So in some countries the&nbsp;&nbsp; rewards might not be quite as high, but in some&nbsp; you can see it definitely has really high paying&nbsp;&nbsp;
games. And overall compared to many other sites&nbsp; where you can earn by playing games, it definitely&nbsp;&nbsp; has some of the higher rewards that I have seen.&nbsp; And as mentioned, it also has paid service which&nbsp;&nbsp; can also be a great way to boost your earnings.&nbsp; And then it has one more method I also just want&nbsp;&nbsp;
to talk about. But in general, when you are taking&nbsp; these offers here, these games, just make sure it&nbsp;&nbsp; tracks properly. But if you in general run into&nbsp; any issues on EarnStar, then they do have 24/7 support.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I do like that aspect of it. Also, it's always&nbsp; great to know that you can actually get help if&nbsp;&nbsp;
you should need it. But as mentioned, it also&nbsp; does have other ways to earn than the games.&nbsp;&nbsp; For example, the paid survey is definitely a great&nbsp; way to also boost your earnings. And then it also&nbsp;&nbsp; has a lucky draw. So, let's just also go over that&nbsp; before I will also show you here live that I'm&nbsp;&nbsp;
withdrawing because I have earned enough now to&nbsp; withdraw. So, we can check how fast it pays and&nbsp;&nbsp; then we'll go over the overall earning potential.&nbsp; So, you can see here there is a lucky draw and&nbsp;&nbsp;
that is something I haven't really seen on many&nbsp; sites. I do like this. You can see you get a free&nbsp;&nbsp; prize draw every time you've earned $5. you can&nbsp; easily follow it here and see when you can get&nbsp;&nbsp; the next one. So then you would click here to go&nbsp; to the prize draw and then you would just choose&nbsp;&nbsp;
one of these mystery boxes and you can then win&nbsp; up to $10. So I just need to choose one random.&nbsp;&nbsp; So I will choose this one here and you can see in&nbsp; this case here I want a 50% bonus. So I'll get a&nbsp;&nbsp;
bonus code and I just need to check my email and&nbsp; that means that then I will earn 50% more uh on&nbsp;&nbsp; the different things I do inside earnstar here for&nbsp; a specific period of time. So that's also what you&nbsp;&nbsp; can win. You can also see in the background here&nbsp; some of the other options that are there. Some&nbsp;&nbsp;
of them give different percentages and others&nbsp; give actually cash. So it's a nice extra little&nbsp;&nbsp; bonus opportunity they have. But let's now also&nbsp; check how you can actually get paid and I will&nbsp;&nbsp; also do a live withdrawal here now. So as you&nbsp; can see at the top there is something called&nbsp;&nbsp;
claim reward. So I would just choose this&nbsp; one here to get paid. And then I can choose&nbsp;&nbsp; between a lot of different options. And the exact&nbsp; payout options will of course vary depending on&nbsp;&nbsp; your country. But in some countries you can&nbsp; see it can even be bank transfer, revolute,&nbsp;&nbsp;
Venmo and PayPal in many countries also if you&nbsp; want to get paid in cash. And then it will be gift&nbsp;&nbsp; cards depending on your country. In some countries&nbsp; you can see it has a lot of different gift cards.&nbsp;&nbsp; The exact payout threshold will vary depending on&nbsp; your chosen reward, but it starts at $5. You can&nbsp;&nbsp;
see there are also some prepaid cards, physical or&nbsp; virtual Visa. For this video here, I'll choose&nbsp;&nbsp; to get paid via PayPal. You can see also the&nbsp; payout threshold for that is $5. I have earned&nbsp;&nbsp; enough to get paid $20. So I will choose that. And&nbsp; then I just need to enter my email here. And of&nbsp;&nbsp;
course for privacy reasons I just blur that out.&nbsp; And then I just need to click here to claim the&nbsp;&nbsp; reward. And that's it. Then you just have to wait&nbsp; here. And they say that they will pay more or less&nbsp;&nbsp; instantly. So I will also here leave a screenshot&nbsp; on the screen here of the email. I get the payment&nbsp;&nbsp;
proof and they are right exactly also how long&nbsp; it took for me to get the earnings. But let's&nbsp;&nbsp; now talk about the overall earning potential. So I&nbsp; know a lot of people will now ask but how much can&nbsp;&nbsp; I then expect to earn? It's nice to see that you&nbsp; can potentially earn more than $100 per game and&nbsp;&nbsp;
they do have an earning calculator on the website&nbsp; here. Again, I want to make it very clear how much&nbsp;&nbsp; you can earn depends a lot on the country you live&nbsp; in. In some countries, the earning opportunities&nbsp;&nbsp;
are just more there, just more surveys. There's&nbsp; just more games and higher paying games. That's&nbsp;&nbsp; just how it is. But they do have this earnings&nbsp; calculator. And of course, it's an estimate. It's&nbsp;&nbsp; not guaranteed or anything like that. But you&nbsp; could, for example, say, let's say you wanted&nbsp;&nbsp;
to do five service per day. Again, it of course&nbsp; requires that there are five service. You qualify&nbsp;&nbsp; for five and all these different things. and then&nbsp; hours of playing games and 9 hours per day that&nbsp;&nbsp; you know that would for most people probably be&nbsp; too much but let's say you really like playing and&nbsp;&nbsp;
you play 2 hours per day and you play in general&nbsp; or you have this activity six days a week then it&nbsp;&nbsp; estimates here how much you would earn it says&nbsp; this is how much you would on average probably&nbsp;&nbsp; earn from service and this from games so I do&nbsp; like this calculator it is gives a good estimate&nbsp;&nbsp;
I don't think that these are exaggerated earnings&nbsp; you sometimes see these earning calculators&nbsp;&nbsp; making huge claims and all this. This is actually&nbsp; realistic for some countries with enough effort.&nbsp;&nbsp; But of course, it depends on the exact service,&nbsp; the exact games and all these. But let's also&nbsp;&nbsp;
look at what real users are actually earning&nbsp; here because that can give an even better idea&nbsp;&nbsp; also of the earning potential. So you can jump&nbsp; to the leaderboard and here you can see there is&nbsp;&nbsp;
a daily leaderboard and at the time of recording&nbsp; this video here we are not even halfway through&nbsp;&nbsp; the day and you can scroll down and you can see&nbsp; some of the top earners here. Some people are&nbsp;&nbsp; really earning a lot but of course it's probably&nbsp; because they finished certain levels in a game.&nbsp;&nbsp;
This person here maybe have played a specific game&nbsp; over several days and then just today reached a&nbsp;&nbsp; certain level to reach this. But you can see some&nbsp; people are definitely having some great days here&nbsp;&nbsp; and that gives you a good understanding of the&nbsp; earning potential for some. Again, it depends on&nbsp;&nbsp;
the games. It depends on your country. It depends&nbsp; on your effort. This is not guaranteed that this&nbsp;&nbsp; can happen for you. Just keep that in mind.&nbsp; But if you actually end up on the leaderboard,&nbsp;&nbsp; you can see you will even get some extra rewards.&nbsp; So that can also be a way to boost your earnings.&nbsp;&nbsp;
And you can see they do give prices here to even&nbsp; the top 50 or even more than the top 50. So&nbsp;&nbsp; you will get a small reward here. Uh so it does&nbsp; give out quite a lot of free money here to the top&nbsp;&nbsp;
earners. So I do like that aspect. And to get into&nbsp; the top 100 even here you will even get rewards if&nbsp;&nbsp; you are not even the top 100. But you can see that&nbsp; would be some nice extra earnings just for using a&nbsp;&nbsp;
platform you would anyways. And it doesn't really&nbsp; take that much to get fairly high on this list&nbsp;&nbsp; currently. So overall I really like EarnStar. I think&nbsp; it is userfriendly. It has a good amount of both&nbsp;&nbsp;
games and surveys and it definitely pays decent&nbsp; compared to many other get paid to sites. I also&nbsp;&nbsp; like the many different payout options it offers&nbsp; and the low payout threshold and that it process&nbsp;&nbsp;
payments quickly. So overall, I definitely think&nbsp; it is a great site, one that I will keep using,&nbsp;&nbsp; keep testing and I will also keep you updated if&nbsp; something happens. And I would also love to hear&nbsp;&nbsp; your opinion if you tried it or if you're going to&nbsp; try it. Please share your opinion and experiences&nbsp;&nbsp;
