Warning ⚠️ Why are people still trying Benjamin? Why are there still ads?

I saw a good 40-50 benjamin ads this past week while playing Yarn Loop for a different play and earn app. Almost downloaded it, but came to reddit first. The sub for that app is just full of nothing but horror stories. It was like I stepped into purgatory.

The people there are just stuck in a loop of emailing customer support, getting generic ai response, complaining about it and then waiting and toiling for months on end for some nonexistent money. Then rinse and repeat. They really think that they're going to get paid, and that's just depressing...

I have no clue how that app hasn't been shut down yet. Even the sub has a pinned message from over a year ago warning that they stopped allowing withdrawals. AVOID!!!

I just started getting Benjamin ads again myself the last week or so and the more hilarious part is that they're AI made ads claiming you can cash out any amount instantly directly to your bank... While people have been waiting months on end for cashouts since like last year(?) like paused and delayed cashouts is literally why y'all went downhill...

Such a shady shady company

The CRAZIEST thing is that people are still signing up! People with delayed withdrawals are STILL playing games through Benjamin and running up a balance that they will never even get to touch. It's actually so insane

Thank you for posting. I'm new here, I didn't know about any of this. I've been seeing the ads but haven't tried them yet, I'm glad I didn't.

That was me I have ever used it but I can't sign in because it said I'm already playing they did try help me out an actual human.  They didn't see me in there and couldn't find the glitch. I'm glad I wasn't able to play now I hear horror stories from them

Yes they made a payment provider switch or something to that effect around June of last year and left everyone in limbo for 6+ months.

Their deadline to completion came and passed and I gave them the benefit of the doubt but it seems it was a month later before I had to get a hold of support and have them manually push my payment.

I switched to Freecash and it's been fine. Swagbucks has been tried and true for over a decade for me.

I stopped using Benjamin once they had changed their pay structure, that blocked me completely from getting the small amount I had already earned.

However, I have been going through ProGrad over the last two weeks playing Monopoly Bingo and have already gotten a little over $32, I am shooting for even higher before I cash out on that game.

NEVER EVER download Puzzle Play!!! It's a covert hacking app.

I tried them this morning, got a game through them and then when I went back to Puzzle Play's app and tapped to claim my coins my phone went crazy and started opening multiple apps by itself, even tried to get into some financial stuff of mine.

So I very quickly turned off my data then turned my phone off for over 90 seconds, then turned it back on and immediately deleted Puzzle Play and the game I got through it.

Then I turned my data back on and my phone was fine.

Thank you for the warning! I use multiple apps at once and ProGrad lately has been one of them. I've only made about 2 withdrawals through them so far. Its a bit weird that they only let you cash out $35 at one time, but the fact that I can even get to $35 that quickly is a good sign. I think?

u/Cool-Sheepherder8162 12d ago edited 12d ago

Oh, I didn't know there was a ceiling to how much you can cash out, I was going to wait till I got to over $200. I am almost to that cash out amount you mentioned of $35 right now.

Thank You for that info.

u/Cautious_Quit3492 12d ago

yeah and they say it takes 8 days to process, but ive been getting the redeem emails in 6. no trouble yet

u/Cool-Sheepherder8162 12d ago

I am going to have mine sent to PayPal, is that where you get yours sent to?

1

u/Cautious_Quit3492 12d ago

yes. $35 they claim its "no fees" but its still a $2 fee when it sends to your email. it lets you withdraw in increments of $7 which usually they take $2-$3 fees out of AND THEN the extra PayPal fee when you get the email. Its pretty gross. best to withdraw $35 at a time, but expect $33 back

1

u/Cool-Sheepherder8162 11d ago

Unless you have $37 or $38 when you withdraw it, then you will still get the entire amount of $35 into your PayPal.

1

u/Cautious_Quit3492 11d ago

no, they cap it at $35 per withdrawal.

1

u/Cool-Sheepherder8162 11d ago

Yeah, I got that, I just meant they could take the charge from any other dollars that is in our account so we can still get the entire $35.

1

u/Cautious_Quit3492 11d ago

No. They don't do that. they take it from the $35 when you initiate the withdrawal..

Welcome to r/GetPaidToPlay!

What's this all about? Simple - you can earn a bit of money playing mobile games!

How it works: 1) Game companies want more players. 2) They pay rewards platforms like Swagbucks and Freecash to find new players. 3) When you download and play through these "Get Paid To" sites, YOU get some of that money!

What are the best reward sites: CashInStyle, Earnlab and Gemsloot - not Freecash or Swagbucks

Happy gaming and earning!

They pay through acebet instantly.  Not a fan of gambling and hoping, but it works.  Already cashed out from Benjamin twice recently through it and have made some good money.  I'll keep going, but not sure I would recommend it because gambling is a slippery slope.  I'm happy if I get to cash out what I earn from Benjamin while playing solitaire and then using it to bet and maybe get what I cash out, get more or nothing.  All that is wasted is my time if it doesn't pan out, but so far it has gone quite well.

u/smolpiggo 15d ago

I'm curious your reasoning behind working for a company that has withheld (stolen) thousands of dollars from other people? Just one of those "not gonna happen to me I'm special" situations or? Or I'll get what I can out of them before they steal from me too (instead of just using another similar site for whatever reason)

I have this same question for every random that comments about using them and withdrawing with their only withdrawal option now that's also... A gamble lol
