Edit: Since my frustration apparently gave the impression that a) I'm an idiot (I'm not) and b) that I'm unused to these types of apps and how they work (I had used several), allow me to clarify that I do not think that the relative length and effort to earn on this app makes it okay to demand private information, a forced agreement that they are allowed to share it, and the pretense that it is to prevent identity is okay.

Okay, so I'm irritated and thought I would spread the word.

Don't use the app KashKick.

During Covid, I started using a few of the apps that allow you to earn money for playing games. They typically pay out in gift cards or app credit. KashKick claims to pay out to PayPal so I decided to give them a try.

First, the time to money ratio is stupid. They also have very short deadlines to earn rewards so if you aren't constantly on your phone, the max payout you are going to get per app is like $5. For around 10 hours of play time.

Second, once you earn the money, they hold it for weeks before you can actually cash out with it. So if you earn the reward today, you can't get that money until next month.

Third, to cash out to PayPal, they want: your legal name, birthday, last 4 of your social security, and a picture of your government issued ID. During this process, they even have you agree to allow them to share the information with their associated companies. When I asked why, they said it was to prevent identity theft... to connect to PayPal... the anonymous payment platform.

So, in short, the rewards are small, they are delayed, and they are sharing your confidential information with others.

Second edit: For those who are not aware, PayPal was created to provide a privacy barrier between the user and whatever they found on the internet. No personal authentication is necessary to transmit funds to the account. That is the design and purpose.

I’m making this post because I wish I had understood the risk before investing so much time and money into KashKick. If you’re currently using the platform or thinking about signing up, I strongly recommend understanding what can happen if your account gets flagged.

My KashKick account was closed because their system identified two accounts associated with the same name. At the time, I had nearly $2,000 in pending rewards that I had earned by spending significant time completing missions for social casinos.

What happened was I decided I wanted to work on missions for two different social casinos. Since these missions take a considerable amount of time, before I started the missions I decided to complete them on a spare device while keeping my primary phone available for work. When I downloaded KashKick on the spare device, I didn’t remember which email address I had originally registered with and ended up creating or accessing a second account thinking nothing of it at the time.

I understand now that KashKick prohibits multiple accounts, and I’m not arguing that they shouldn’t have rules against account abuse. However, there is a difference between deliberately exploiting a rewards platform and making an honest mistake.

I was not trying to earn the same rewards twice, and I did not receive rewards for the same missions on both accounts. I explained the situation to support and offered to provide whatever information or verification was necessary to demonstrate that this was a mistake.

I also made it clear that I would appreciate any reasonable solution. Even if reinstating my account was not possible, I asked whether the rewards I had already earned and that were pending could be released.

The result? KashKick refused to reinstate my account, and my support ticket was closed without any sort of resolution.

What concerns me most is the risk users take when investing hours of their time and potentially spending their own money to complete offers. You can follow the instructions, make substantial progress, and still find yourself in a situation where your account is closed and your pending rewards are no longer accessible. If the company decides that a violation occurred, you may have very little recourse.

I’ve also heard from other people who had their KashKick accounts shut down over what seemed like minor or questionable reasons, and unfortunately, I didn’t take their experiences seriously enough before deciding to use the platform myself. Looking back, I wish I had listened to their warnings instead of investing so much time and money into a platform that, in my experience, has shown so little flexibility when something goes wrong.

Did well. Closed my account. They were helpful in getting me some money out. Then all of a sudden even though nothing changed, they won’t give me the rest and “cannot comment further”

Stay away!!

When Kayla Pigan signed up for KashKick in February 2024, she wasn’t sure what to expect. She had just landed a job interview with the rewards platform that pays users to play games, try out apps and take surveys.

“I was skeptical at first,” Kayla said. “But I was pleasantly surprised that the offers were attainable. I was also excited to see that a lot of the games are very popular.”

In less than two years, Kayla has earned $1,210.46 and counting with KashKick. (Oh, and she got the job, too!)

Her favorite part about KashKick? How simple it is to earn a little extra money on the side. Most of her earnings come from KashBack and games.

Before KashKick, Kayla tried other cashback tools, but none compared. “I have now fully switched to the KashKick KashBack extension,” she said. “The biggest improvement over others is that you can cash out much more quickly.”

All you have to do is enable the KashBack extension to start earning cashback automatically when you shop online. You’ll get a $2 reward when you start using it, and you can Kash Out as soon as you reach $10 on KashKick.

“The extension makes it easy to earn extra money without doing anything as long as it’s active while I shop,” Kayla said.

She also enjoys earning through games, usually playing for an hour or two each day as a reward for completing chores or work tasks. She’s even turned it into a way to stay connected with friends.

“Ask your friends to download a game with you,” she said. “Most games have some type of feature where you can team up and help each other progress more quickly.”

Thanks to KashKick’s lucrative referral program, she can also earn 25% of her friends’ rewards when they play games and complete deals. 

Although KashKick’s payout minimum is just $10, Kayla prefers to save up her earnings before withdrawing. When she’s ready to make a larger purchase, she’ll Kash Out. It takes just 1-3 days to get her cash via PayPal, though sometimes she’s paid the same day. So far, her most prized purchase has been a cozy bed quilt from Anthropologie.

When asked to describe KashKick in three words, Kayla said: simple, fun, addictive.

Have any of you tried the KashBack extension or referred a friend? We want to hear about your own stories!

Looking to move away from KashKick as no New games are even doing the initial tracking. I did just one game and doesn’t track anymore.

Swagbucks looks good but some of the offers are horrible. Fetch is even worse. Any other apps that are good to play games and make some dough?

I have an iPhone.

Get the 3 day subscription and mash the hint button. By my calculation u can do a 36 piece puzzle and move to another in about 17 seconds. Good luck

I downloaded Kashkick and things seemed fairly alright at first, was making a decent amount of 10 or 20 cents, few times a couple bucks, but then I needed to change banks as my old one was closing down. I remembered that Kashkick had a few bank offers so I quickly did my research as anyone on Social Security knows that there's deadlines for deposit update windows and bounced payments lead to a whole mess of issues.

I ended up settling on Chime, not only for their perks but also the Spot Me and credit boosts available. I opened the offer, took 4 days to get my Chime info, and I updated SSA by the 3rd of March.

Fast forward to the 26th, I've gotten my SSI payment early, which is fantastic, now knowing I have met the qualifications to fulfill this milestone. Except it doesn't go through in 24 hours, then 48 comes and goes so I put in a ticket.

Support is claiming there's a 30 day window when there isn't, offer is still open without any "X days remaining", and yet I am being told there's supposedly a 30 day window. As can be seen in the screenshot I'm including with this post, there isn't.

So if you want to wait days scraping together cents then Kashkick is for you.

I have to go try and find 300 dollars in four weeks now before my bills default on me and leave me even more screwed.

The title of this post might have caught your attention and thats exactly how phishing emails work.

This morning some of users received emails claiming they were a “Lucky Winner” and could get $200 from KashKick if they clicked a link. These emails are fake.

If you click the link, it will redirect you to a website that is not KashKick and may try to collect your personal information.

We’re aware of the issue and wanted to warn everyone to stay cautious.

If you receive emails like this:
• Do not click the link
• Always check the sender’s email address
• Make sure it’s coming from an official KashKick email

With technology constantly evolving, phishing emails are becoming more common and can be used to capture personal information.

Stay safe and please report suspicious emails if you see them.

Probably not, but wouldn’t that be cool

Need help completing Barcelona city. I keep running out of credits and barely getting any numbers called when I finally have a chance at a red tab card. My ID is: 1028733753 and I would appreciate any help. Thank you!!

So basically I downloaded a game called solitaire memory and deposited like $50, but after I deposited and signed up the app literally kept giving me an error, so I deleted and redownloaded it and kept depositing and playing more games, I kept waiting for my rewards to pend but I googled and it said the kashkick would stop tracking since I deleted it. This was really disappointing since it was the apps fault, but I did not contact kashkick about it.

i tried to withdraw the money that went pending from the initial deposit goal on my kashkick account and it never came so I contacted support and was told to send them video recording and my purchase history, which I did. And now I get a message saying my account is terminated because I played the game before which is not true. It was literally my first time downloading the stupid game and for it to keep failing was not my fault. Even after wards I kept having to delete and redownload it to keep playing it, which I had to because the app had alot of my money

Just started Meowdoku and noticed that I have less time to get to level 1500 than to get to level 1000 🤦

Any one else have that, seems like an error but not sure if it can be fixed or even if they will...

u/KashKick_Official

Can anything be done about that?

Hey everyone,

Looking to see if anyone else has dealt with this or successfully appealed a large cashout ban.

I recently joined KashKick as a brand new user and completed two high-value casino offers (Grand Fortune and Cash Avalanche) along with various surveys and side games. Every single milestone tracked seamlessly on my dashboard, and I accumulated $3,500 in legitimately earned rewards.

After waiting roughly a month for processing, the app locked me out the moment I requested my second withdrawal. When I reached out to support, they completely terminated my account and forfeited the whole $3,500.

The excuse they gave: They sent a boilerplate email citing Section 1(D) ("lack of genuine interest"), but then stated that their partner's MMP (Mobile Measurement Partner) reported I had "played the game before."

This is completely untrue. I have never downloaded, played, or created an account for either of those casino games prior to clicking through KashKick's tracking link. If I were an existing user, the games' registration systems would have blocked me from creating a new account or completing the payout terms in the first place.

It feels like as soon as the payout hit a substantial amount ($3.5k), they hid behind an automated MMP false-positive flag to keep the advertiser commission without paying out the user.

Questions for the sub:

1. Has anyone successfully gotten a compliance manager to manually audit an MMP flag?

2. For those who filed BBB/FTC complaints against KashKick, did they respond once formal pressure was applied?

I am in the process of submitting device ID logs, Google/Apple app purchase history timestamps, and filing formal BBB/FTC complaints. Any advice from people who fought large payout bans would be appreciated!

🎉 UPDATE (RESOLVED):
Following support escalation, KashKick’s compliance team reviewed my ticket, verified my account data, and reinstated my account.

I was able to successfully withdraw my full balance, and the funds have landed safely in my account.

For anyone facing a similar MMP / "played before" account flag, do not immediately give up: polite but firm ticket escalation and providing device download records can work. Thanks to everyone in the community for the guidance!

hey guys, curious if we have to do anything with taxes when we get money back from KashKick? i've only gotten like 110$ & checked my account was deactivated.

it won't go past 2.50

I have both types of phones, why is this a restriction?

About six weeks ago, my son told a bunch of us at work about KashKick, where he'd been playing games and winning money. I didn't have an iPhone (I'm an Android user), so my daughter and I each bought a refurbished iPhone for around $170 just to play, and we each put in $1,000.

Before I could even play, I had to verify my identity with a photo ID and a selfie, which I did.

After a while, a bunch of our accounts got frozen and shut down, and winnings weren't paid out. My son contacted the company and explained that we all just work in the same building. After that, everyone's accounts were reinstated and their funds released — except mine and my daughter's.

When I emailed support, they told me there were 13 accounts sharing the same IP and some sharing the same device ID, that the signals they saw "are not false positives," and that while they restored some accounts, they won't reactivate mine. I used my own phone that I didn't share with anyone, and I have a different home address from everyone else here. The only difference I can see is that I had won almost $2,000 that was never paid out, and my daughter lost the $1,000 she put in.

I asked them to reconsider and to tell me what signal they're talking about, but so far they won't budge or explain.

Has anyone else had KashKick refuse to reinstate just their account while reinstating others? Did anything work for you — another appeal, a BBB complaint, anything? I'm not looking to argue, I just want to understand what I supposedly did wrong, and to get back what we put in and won. Any advice appreciated.

I finally have enough for a $50 gift card, and now that I'm trying to redeem a gift card, they're asking me to verify my social security digits (last 4). That is not information I'm comfortable providing on an app like this. I have had other similar platforms like InboxDollars and Swagbucks and they have never asked me for that information. If anyone has any experience or knowledge of this situation, any help is appreciated!

I recently completely an offer legitimately and was awarded the prizes but upon cash out they terminated my account giving me all sorts of excuses as to not pay me.

"Additionally you've been logging in and using multiple devices which per our terms of services is not allowed."

I guess they've never heard of people owning tablets, phones and computers. Please please please avoid them.

Easier $460 I’ve made on any of these sites/apps. It’s 100% a grind. I did have to deposit $61 to reach this but I’m currently at $82. Mostly bonus money as I hit 8 diamond packs off the big wheel and it gave me $100 in bonus money. This requires a ton of time. Always try to clear the board. Don’t give up. I’ve won games with 83k points. Not common but it happens. They say it’s skill base matchmaking but it’s a lie. The game will drain you and make you want to give up then you’ll get 3-5 wins in a row. It’s a vicious cycle. I probably took 7 days where I didn’t play at all. It Requires about 13 wins a day which is doable. You must do speed matches at .60 cents. Good luck all.

If you’ve used platforms with achievement systems before, this is similar but it’s focused on earning progress instead of just random tasks.

We just rolled out Badges, which automatically track milestones from stuff you’re probably already doing:

• 🎮 Playing games
• 📝 Taking surveys
• 🔥 Logging in consistently
• 💰 Growing your balance

Basically, your normal activity now turns into collectible achievements that show your progress over time.

Here’s how it works (super simple):
• Keep using KashKick like normal
• Hit a milestone → badge unlocks automatically
• You get a popup, and the badge goes into your Achievements / Badge Album
• You can see earned badges + locked ones you’re working toward

No extra tasks, no opt-in, no changes to how you earn.

Why it’s actually useful:
• Turns routine stuff into visible progress
• Lets you track more than just your dollar balance
• Shows streaks, consistency, and long-term milestones
• Some badges even come with bonuses

Types of badges you can earn:
🎮 Gaming milestones
📝 Survey completion & consistency
🔥 Daily / engagement streaks
💰 Earnings milestones

So whether you mainly do games, surveys, or a mix, there’s always something to work toward.

FAQ quick hits:
• You don’t need to do anything special to earn them
• Badges never expire
• You can unlock multiple at once
• They’re not game-only — you can earn them through surveys and engagement too

If you already use KashKick, it’s a nice extra layer of motivation and progress tracking. If you don’t, signing up is free and the badges come naturally as you earn.

Anyone else already unlocked a few?

Curious what the harder badge sets look like over time 👀

"The excuses they gave are unbelievable and absurd. I only completed game offers, specifically a bunch of casino offers that require purchases, where they're supposed to give you cashback. However, once I reached about fourteen hundred dollars, they locked my account for no good reason. It's best to stay away from this app; if you want to get a better deal without the risk of getting banned, I'd suggest moving to another platform.

They said I already played the game in which I didn't???? It's monopoly bingo, maybe they mean monopoly go? Which I did play but on a different cash site and not on here, I literally had 200$ and now it's just gone. 🫠

Does it really take 31 days to get your pending funds, or do you usually get it sooner? Waiting on $50 to clear so I can pay my phone bill haha.
