ClickWages Review: Scam or Legit? Full Breakdown & Transcript

[00:00] ClickWages claims 80% of its users earn $200 on  the very first day and that you can make $2 per   click and $15 for every video you watch. Those  are some pretty bold numbers. So, I decided to  

[00:13] test it after several of you have asked me about  it. And in this video, we'll take a closer look   at whether those claims hold up at all and most  importantly, whether anyone actually gets paid.  

[00:26] My name is Mikael and I have made money online  for around 10 years. And whenever I see a platform   making claims like $200 on your first day or $15  per video watch, my first instinct is to be very  

[00:38] careful. Because in this space, numbers like  that are almost always a sign that something   doesn't add up. And with ClickWages, there's  quite a bit you need to know. So, I'll walk you   through what the platform claims, what it actually  looks like once you dig in and once you log in,  

[00:54] and what happens when you try to cash out. And  by the end of this video here, you will have a   clear picture of whether this is worth your time  or not. So, let's start by going over the basics   of what ClickWages is and who can join. And it  is a platform you can join from all countries. And  

[01:10] you can see here it says that you can get paid,  participate in surveys, test application, watch   videos, and more here. And it says here, as I said  before, that 80% of it users withdraw over $200  

[01:23] on the first day. But let me now log in and then  we'll take a closer look at what it really offers.   So I have now logged into ClickWages.  And the first thing you are taken to is  

[01:35] a platform or a page where it shows that you can  earn by inviting others. And that's always weird   when you join a get paid to site or free online  earning platform and the first thing you see is or   promote users and then this is how much you will  earn. But since that's the first to show us, let's  

[01:49] start by going over that. For example, they say  here when you share your referral link that means   you invite someone else to join. When they just  click that link, you will earn $2 and when they   register, you will earn $20. And this is the first  huge red flag. I have tested hundreds of sites  

[02:08] and there is no free site that will pay you just  $2 just to get some random person to click or $20   just to get them to sign up without any further  requirements. That is just not realistic. It would  

[02:21] not be sustainable for them to offer something  like that. So this is a huge red flag. But let's   keep digging and just give them the benefit of the  doubt and see what else they offer. So, let's try   to go to this task center and see how we can then  supposedly earn. And you can see then they have  

[02:36] these questionnaire tasks where I supposedly can  earn like $20 for a short survey and then   you click it and you are in many cases taken  to random ads. In this case here, I don't know  

[02:52] what I am redirected to. I will just quickly  close that down. So, there was no survey. I was   just redirected three or four different times and  then to something that asked to be installed in   my browser and it looked like something I would  definitely not do. So again, what what are they  

[03:08] getting you to click here? Be very careful. Make  sure if you click something here that you have a   good antivirus program. So all these things here  has nothing to do with a questionnaire or survey   as they say here. I don't even know like it's  just yeah something to stay away from there.  

[03:23] And and then that brings us to the last option  here where they have these videos. You see here   they say that I would earn $15 just by watching  this video here. And it's basically just random   YouTube videos they have embedded and then you can  see how many seconds you need to watch it. So I  

[03:37] would be able to just leave and then come back and  then I would have earned $15 and it will actually   be added to your account here. But again, this  is not realistic earnings for watching videos,   random embedded YouTube videos because where do  they get the money to pay you from that? they  

[03:51] would probably say, "Oh, we have advertisers." But  these are random videos. These here, they would   not pay that much to get one view on a video. It  would not make [clears throat] sense to do that,   especially not a platform like this where people  just get paid to to watch and not really want to  

[04:05] watch. So, you can see, for example, they want you  to believe that Mr. Beast would pay you to watch   this video. Why would he do that? He he doesn't  need to do that. It doesn't make sense.   So clearly it's just random videos they've taken  here embedded and then they make it look like  

[04:20] you can earn $15 per video you have watched. But  that is just not realistic. That not how it works   to make money by watching videos in general.  You can earn money by watching videos online.   But you will not earn a lot. It's one of the  least effective ways to earn. I do have a video  

[04:35] if you really want to earn that way where  I show my top recommended realistic ways to   earn by watching videos. I'll leave a link in  the top corner here so you can check that out.   But let's now talk more about how you supposedly  can cash out. So, I have now jumped to the cash  

[04:53] out section. And you'll probably also be excited  when you see all the payout options because there   are great options whether you want to get paid  in crypto, phone, bank card, Western Union,   PayPal, Cash App. There's a lot of great ways  to get paid and then you just need to leave your  

[05:07] payment details. So, let's say you wanted to get  paid via PayPal, then you would choose that. And   then they just again here, payment account number  or payment code. That doesn't even make sense  

[05:19] that's what they ask for that this doesn't  actually change based on your payout option   because that will confuse people. For PayPal, what  they need is an email, your PayPal email address.   And you can see, for example, if we say XRP, well,  payment account number. But what is that? What  

[05:34] if people don't know? Well, that's would be a  wallet address you would need to paste here. So   it doesn't even make sense. And another thing is  that even if you then try to do it, then they will   say the payout threshold is $200. You need to  earn $200 to withdraw. And once you have then  

[05:51] reached that, then they will introduce additional  requirements. And that's always a huge red flag.   First of all, I have never seen a legit get paid  to site that has this high a payout threshold.  

[06:03] And I've tested hundreds of options. Secondly,  when they then introduce additional requirements   after you have reached the payout threshold, that  is, you know, that's just a complete deal breaker,   then they will ask you, oh, by the way, you  need to do this many of these or you need to  

[06:16] invite a certain number of people before you  can withdraw. No, it's never going to happen.   That's just how it is. And I know this  based off experience and you say like,   oh, you haven't reached the $200. know because  I have 10 years of experience earning online  

[06:29] and I know when I spot something why would  I keep doing tests or different tasks here   that will make them money but that will put me at  risk when I know that I'm not going to get paid   and I've talked to other people that tested it  also and that's the same experiences and then we  

[06:43] say but they have payment proof on their website  so let's just talk about those for a bit also.  So on the website if you scroll down you can  see there are a lot of different payment proof   there's for example some here back from '21.  Uh you can see here this one is from '23.  

[07:00] And then I go to who is here where you can check  websites that are registered. This particular   domain here that was registered in '25 as you can  see. So the payment proves are from before the  

[07:14] website was actually registered. And you can  see that's for this particular URL up here.   But they have several other ones or at least I  found one more here also that has basically the   same. There's just a few letters differently here.  So they have created several websites like this  

[07:30] and again you know there's just so many red  flags. So I would say I would definitely stay   away from this. I have tested hundreds of sites  and with this many red flags here it's just a   waste of time. It's not realistic what they claim  these additional requirements the payment proves  

[07:47] that doesn't match with when the domain  was registered all these different things.   I definitely strongly recommend that you do  not spend time on this if you want to earn   money online. There are plenty of free ways to  do it, but not where you will earn $200 on your  

[08:00] first day. That is just not realistic from free  online earning platforms, no matter whether you   join the absolute best and join 20 of them. You  will not earn this much here on your first day or   in general per day. But if you want to see a list  of my top recommended realistic get paid to sites,  

[08:16] I do have a list on my website. I'll leave a link  to that below. And if you really want to earn by   clicking for example, then I also do have a list  of my top recommended options to do that. Again,   you will not earn this much. It's very important  to understand, but at least those platforms  

[08:30] are realistic. Those platforms are some that  I've used for years and where I have been   able to withdraw. So, I know they actually  work and here it's just unrealistic. So,   something that I would definitely recommend you  are very very careful about. And if you have your  

[08:43] please just share your experience. If you have  any questions, I reply to every single comment.
