Bonusboy
How Bonusboy chooses, checks and drops partners
A reward app is only as honest as its partners. Members cannot see the companies behind the survey or game cards, so this page explains the rules we use to let a partner in, keep it, or remove it.
Before a partner goes live
- Identity. A registered company with a real address and published terms. Partners that only exist as a website with a contact form are not integrated.
- Payment terms in writing. Payment cycle, net terms and minimum must be published or confirmed in writing. We store them in our settlement settings and show the resulting dates in the wallet.
- Publisher reputation. We read what other publishers report about being paid. Unpaid-publisher complaints that are recent and unanswered are a disqualifier.
- Rated A, B or C. A = clear identity and good payment history; B = conditional (mixed reviews, new ownership, unusual terms); C = excluded. B partners are integrated with "pay after deposit" and extra monitoring.
- Technical check with real accounts. We complete a survey or game step ourselves and confirm the report arrives, before members see the partner.
As of October 2026 this process has rated 21 well-known offerwall and survey companies: 12 A, 5 B, 4 C. The C-rated ones (two offerwalls with unpaid-publisher reports, two whose sign-up path no longer exists) are on a block list.
Filters applied to every offer
- No purchase steps. Any game whose milestones include "spend", "deposit" or "buy" is removed before it reaches the list, even if only one step requires it.
- No gambling or casino content.
- No pay-for-reviews. We never list offers that reward app ratings, reviews or bare installs; that would put our Google Play account, and therefore every member's balance, at risk.
- Country and device checks. Offers are shown only in the countries and on the devices the advertiser accepts, so you do not install something that cannot track.
- Members' reports. If several members in a country report a game as not opening or not tracking, it is hidden for that country.
The weekly trust review
Every Monday we re-score every live partner: Are reward reports still arriving? Did the partner answer our last message? Any new unpaid-publisher reports, ownership changes or closures? Each partner gets green, yellow or red. Red partners are hidden from the app the same day. In October 2026 one partner (NoTik) went red because its reward reports stopped arriving and was hidden on 19 October; partners with a recent change of ownership are kept on yellow and watched more closely.
Partners we said no to, and why
- A survey platform with a $1,000 payment minimum: we would hold members' rewards for a year to reach it.
- Several offerwalls whose only contact is a web form and whose payment terms are unpublished.
We publish this so members can judge our choices. If you know something about a partner we should see, write to support@bonusboy.com.
Quick answers
Why does Bonusboy have fewer offers than some other apps?
Because we only list partners with published payment terms and a track record of paying publishers, and we remove every offer whose steps require spending money. That rules out several large offerwalls and most "deposit to earn" casino-style offers.
Do you add partners that pay more even if their reputation is mixed?
Sometimes, with a safeguard: partners rated "conditional" are only paid out to members after their deposit actually arrives, and they are the first to be hidden if they stop reporting. We never pre-pay a partner's rewards.
Who decides?
The checks are run by the Bonusboy team on a fixed weekly schedule with written criteria. The results are logged, and the decisions are published on this site when they affect members.
