Paid Subscriptions:
You can't require users to purchase a subscription on any website or app.
Free Trials:
You can't ask users to sign up for a free trial, even if it doesn't charge the user anything UNLESS it is from a genuine website that is well known. If you are unsure, please contact support and ask if the website is okay before submitting. We are very strict on which websites we allow for free trials. If we do not determine that website to be geniune and well known, we will reject it.
Purchases:
You can't require the user to make any kind of purchase, or enter credit card details of any kind.
Content Locking Gateways:
You cannot lock certain parts of your campaign instructions with a content locking gateway. This is a late that requires the user to complete some kind of offer, in order to access the content on the other side. You also cannot pay users to complete the offers on the content locking gateway directly, as these offers are always displayed in random, so the offer is always different to the user, which means we don’t know exactly what is required for the user, which leads to a lot of bad submissions and a high rejection rate.
Random Offer Redirectors:
This is when a link provided redirects the user to a random affiliate offer. Generally the user sees a different landing page each time they click on the link. You can't add these kind of links in your campaign, or tell the user to "complete the offer that you see from this link." Since the requirement on each offer is always different, we don't know what instructions to put, or what actions to assign to it. These type of links sometimes lead to malicious websites that contain viruses or adult content.
Desktop Software Downloads:
You cannot require the user to download any kind of desktop software UNLESS it is from a genuine software website that is well known. If you are unsure, please contact support and ask if the website is okay before submitting.
Installing Android APK in Developer Mode:
Although you can ask users to download and install Android apps that are on the Google Play Store, you cannot ask users to download and install .apk files in Developer mode. These type of files are not verified by Google, and may contain viruses or other malicious code.
Phishing Pages:
Fake login pages that pretend to be sites like Facebook, that requires the user to enter their email and password, whereby the details are stolen by the advertiser. Any kind of campaigns like this will not only be rejected, but your entire account will be disabled and you will be reported your web hosting provider for illegal activities.
Adult Content:
No adult content allowed, any nudity or sexually explicit images. This includes images with extremely revealing clothing.
Violence, Fighting, Content showing illegal activity:
No images or videos with people fighting, showing any kind of violence or any illegal activity in any way.
Instructions written on external links:
You cannot ask a user to click on a link to view all the instructions for your campaign unless it is a link to a YouTube video. ALL your campaign instructions MUST be written inside the instruction box. You can however say to a user “Watch this video to see exactly how to do the task” but ONLY after you have also written the full instructions inside the Instructions box. So the video at the end can only be an additional instruction, as a guide on how to do your task, but again only if it links to a YouTube video.
URL Shortened links:
You can't create tasks that tell the user to "go to this link and then signup on the website" where the link you provide is from some URL shortening site that requires the user to go through multiple pages of ads, or captchas, and makes it very hard for the user to get to the destination. If you are just using a basic Bitly, Cuttly, or TinyURL, or any url shortener that redirects the user to the destination link straight away, then that is fine.
Pyramid Schemes, Ponzi Schemes or Investement Scams:
You cannot advertiser sites that are scams, or pyramid/ponzi schemes where it requires the user to deposit money and refer others to also keep depositing money just to keep the system alive. This also includes investment scams of any kind, or sites claiming to give any kind of interest rate on money or crypto. For more information on what a Ponzi scheme is, we recommend reading this Wikipedia article.
Review / Rating Campaigns:
Any kind of campaign that asks users to write a review, positive or negative, or provide any kind of star rating for any product, service, website. However, we DO allow honest mobile app ratings only, where you can ask the user to download your app and give an honest star rating. You can't tell them to make it postitive or negative. Paying people to write fake, or even paying them to write reviews is illegal in most countries. For more information on this, we recommend you google the laws in your own country about this.
Sending cryptocurrency:
You cannot ask people to send you cryptocurrency of any kind. This includes campaigns where you say "sign up to this website, and send all the crypto in your wallet to this address."
Tasks that can't be done within 30 minutes:
The user MUST be able to complete your campaign within 30 minutes. You cannot ask for things that would take longer than 30 minutes, such as reaching very high levels in games, including a lot of requirements that would take too long, completing too many surveys or offers. If a user cannot complete your campaign within 30 minutes, we will reject it. You cannot tell users to do certain things over a few days, and then “come back to this campaign and submit proof once you have completed it” – as you are assuming all campaigns will have unlimited budgets forever which is just not true.
Requiring users to earn over $1:
You can create campaigns that require users complete surveys or offers but ONLY up to a maximum of $1 in total. You can’t require the user to signup and complete $5 worth or offers, or anymore than $1. If you are also asking the user to withdraw, then you can’t require that their withdrawal be fully completed, they can only send you a screenshot of the withdrawal requested, as it may take longer than 30 minutes for it to be fully completed on the website they are withdrawing on.
Fully Approved KYC Verification:
You are allowed to require users to do KYC Verification, however you can only require them to SUBMIT for KYC Verification. You can’t require that they be APPROVED for KYC Verification, because with some websites this can take up to 2 weeks, and users only have 30 minutes to complete your task, so in your proof requirement you can only ask for them to show the screenshot that they have submitted their documents for approval and it would be in pending approval. You cannot reject submissions for the reason of “Your KYC is still pending and isn’t approved yet, please come back later once it’s approved.” – You cannot assume your task will be available for that user later, as no task has unlimited budgets forever, this is why we don’t allow this.
Reporting campaigns:
You can't create campaigns to report groups, pages, or websites as scams, or anything for that matter. That includes campaigns that might say "Go to this Instagram page and click the report button and choose SPAM."
Cloning campaigns:
You are allowed to clone your campaigns, but only if your instructions, or targeting options or target countries are different. You are not allowed to, for example, clone your campaign 5 times with the exact same details, just so that it appears in the Tasks tab 5 times for users. If any advertiser does this, you will first receive a warning. If you continue to do this after your first warning, your account will be disabled.
Excessive Proof Instructions:
At this point in time, you can only ask for one screenshot, and one text proof. You can't ask for more than one screenshot, or make your proof instructions so excessively long that it's very hard to complete.
RULES FOR CPA OFFERS:
You are allowed to create campaigns promoting CPA offers, however there is no guarantee that a user has not done this offer previously. You are not allowed to reject a submission based on "I don't see this conversion in my reports". If a user completed your offer successfully, for example they submitted their email and showed proof of this, then the task was done successfully. Just because you don't see the conversion in your CPA network, does not mean the user didn't do the task. CPA networks are very vague with what they consider a conversion so you cannot use that as a guide for if a user did the task correctly or not.
