First, let me post a screenshot a friend shared on social media, along with the caption “Thrilling, earned another 1W,” for everyone to enjoy:
At first I didn’t get it either. After asking, I found out he was using a site that a lot of international students play around with: earn.gg. It’s a legitimate site that can automatically run ads in the background to earn points, which you can then redeem for Bitcoin, transfer to PayPal, exchange for cs go in-game currency, or redeem for gift cards. After reading the site’s description and trying it myself, I felt motivated to write this introduction and share it with everyone because its ability to run ads in the background without affecting normal computer use is genuinely convenient.

【8/31】I recently logged back in and discovered that this site has been renamed to elott.gg. The earning methods are still the same, but there are now many more withdrawal options.
earn.gg Overview
earn.gg is a website that pays users a share for watching ads and completing surveys. The big advantage is that it is fully automated and does not interfere with normal computer use. The redemption rate is 1000 points = $0.01.
One thing to note is that it has a gambling feature, so users often either “get rich overnight” or instantly lose days of accumulated points. Still, no matter what happens, you are not losing your own deposited money, so it can still be a practical site for earning a little extra pocket money in daily life.

Ways to Earn
Watching ads: This is the most common way to earn points. Watching three ads at a time earns 362 points. The ads run smoothly and continuously in the background without affecting your normal computer use. If you have played a game on steam that required payment to access fully (10 hours played, with over $10 spent), then you can link your steam account on the earn page and double the points you earn. After verifying your steam account, you can unlock even more earning methods.
Roll: The simplest and most thrilling form of gambling. You have about a 50% chance of instantly doubling the points you put in, or losing everything. One of my friends earned 180W points from this game, while another blew through the 60W points he had saved up.
Coinflip: You compete against other earners, and it gets pretty intense. The winner takes the entire pot, while the loser gets nothing. However, every time you participate in a game with a 1000+ stake, you get 2 raffle tickets regardless of whether you win or lose.
Raffle: For every 1000 points you earn from watching videos or doing a survey, you automatically receive 1 raffle ticket. Each 1000+ coinflip bet also gives you 2 raffle tickets. Drawings are held automatically at regular intervals, 24/7.
Redemption Options
The points earned on this site can be redeemed in the following ways:
BitCoin: Minimum 35,000 points - maximum wait time is 60 minutes (you can receive it in the next circle).
Bitskins: I haven’t used this before, so I’m not exactly sure what it is = = (if anyone knows, feel free to leave a comment and educate us, thanks). Minimum 10,000 points - enter the code under Bitskins > Help > Redeem.
PayPal: Not recommended. Although it is instant, PayPal charges a 25,000-point fee. If you really need to use PayPal, the minimum is 50,000 points - instant delivery.
CSGO BIG: Good news for people who play this game. If you transfer points into the game, you also get a 2% bonus. Minimum 15,000 points - instant delivery.
CSGO massive: Another option for the same game, though I’m not really sure what the specific difference is compared with the previous one. This one does not come with a bonus. Minimum 15,000 points - enter the code under csgomassive > Deposit.
Gift cards: Send your points to earn.gg’s own gift card platform. There you can choose which gift card you want to redeem. Minimum 100,000 points - instant delivery.
Other Notes
The site also has a leaders page where you can see the users who earned the most points each day, the users who won the most from gambling, and more.
One important thing to note: if you only have one browser, you need to open two different windows (or use two different browsers). Use one to play the videos, then use the other one normally. (Or on windows, switch pages with alt + TAB.) You must make sure the video is actively playing. If you leave it in a different tab within the same browser window, the video will stop running, and you will not receive reward points.
The requirements for verifying a steam account are shown above: the account must be at least 2 months old, have played a paid game ($10+) for more than 10 hours, have a public profile, and not be banned.
My Take
For people who use a computer often, or gamers who frequently leave their computer on, this site is actually pretty decent. At 8W+ points per day, that can add up to an extra $300 a year. Most importantly, it does not interfere with your normal computer use, so if this sounds appealing, feel free to give it a try.
That said, if you gamble, it’s best to set a daily limit for yourself. I started off winning 5W points today and almost got carried away. In the end I only finished up 2W points… way too close to wiping out.
