How Jokaya works
We are a "get-paid-to" platform: advertisers pay us a commission when you complete their offers, and we share that commission with you. Here is the full picture — including the parts other sites don't explain.
1. Offers come from advertising networks
Every offer on the wall is placed by an advertiser through an affiliate network: opening a bank account, requesting an insurance quote, subscribing to a service, installing a game and reaching a level, or answering surveys. When you complete one, the network notifies us and we credit your account with your share, in US dollars. New members start with paid surveys, open right after signing up; the bigger offers unlock as you progress (see step 5).
2. Validation takes time — and we show you how much
Advertisers verify every completion before paying: they check that the account is real, that requirements were met, that the subscription wasn't cancelled immediately. Each offer page shows the real average validation delay for that advertiser. Until validation, your reward sits in your pending balance.
3. The holding period
Once validated, rewards stay pending for a short holding period (currently 7 days) before joining your available balance. Why? Because advertisers can cancel conversions after approving them (fraud, cancelled orders, unmet conditions). The holding period means what you withdraw is money that will not be clawed back.
4. Cancellations happen — here's how we handle them
If an advertiser invalidates a conversion, the credit is removed from your balance and your transactions page shows the reason. We never hide reversals in vague "adjustments". If a reversal arrives after you have withdrawn, your balance can go negative and future earnings fill the gap first. Full details in our Rewards & Payment Policy.
5. Offers unlock progressively
- Tier 1 (paid surveys, videos, micro-tasks) — open as soon as you sign up. This is where everyone starts. (You'll verify your email address before your first cash-out — not before you start earning.)
- Tier 2 (games: install and reach a level) — after your first validated completion.
- Tier 3 (bank accounts, insurance, subscriptions — our highest-value offers) — after 3 validated completions.
This protects the platform from fraud rings. Networks cut off publishers whose high-value leads are fraudulent — progressive unlocking is what keeps the big offers available for honest members.
6. Withdrawals
From $10.00 of available balance, request a payment to your PayPal account. Each payment is reviewed and sent by our team, and PayPal's sending fees are on us: you receive the full amount you request. Make sure the PayPal address you enter is yours, because a payment to the wrong account cannot be recovered.
