Do I need to complete verification before getting credited?
If you're wondering whether you need to verify something before receiving your credits on EarnLab, the answer depends on the specific offer. Here's what you need to know.
It Depends on the Offer
Not all offers require verification, but many do. Each offer has its own set of requirements determined by the advertiser, and verification steps are often part of the completion criteria.
Common verification requirements include:
Email Verification: Many sign-up offers require you to verify your email address by clicking a confirmation link before credits are awarded.
Phone Verification: Some offers ask you to verify your phone number via SMS code to confirm you're a real user.
Account Verification: Certain offers (especially financial or subscription services) may require identity verification or additional account setup steps.
In-App Actions: Game and app offers often require you to reach a specific level, complete a tutorial, or perform certain actions within the app.
Purchase Confirmation: For offers involving purchases or subscriptions, the transaction must be confirmed before crediting.
Why Verification Matters
Verification steps exist for several reasons:
Advertiser Requirements: Advertisers pay for genuine, engaged users. Verification helps them confirm that real people are completing their offers.
Fraud Prevention: Verification reduces fake sign-ups and bot activity, protecting both advertisers and legitimate users like you.
Quality Assurance: It ensures that users who receive credits have truly engaged with the offer as intended.
What Happens If I Skip Verification?
If an offer requires verification and you don't complete it:
- Your completion won't be tracked.
- You won't receive credits for the offer.
- The offer may appear as incomplete or pending indefinitely.
Always make sure to complete every step mentioned in the offer instructions, including any verification requirements.
How to Know What's Required
Before starting any offer, carefully read the full offer description. It should outline:
- What actions you need to take.
- Any verification steps required.
- How long you have to complete the requirements.
- Any specific conditions (like reaching a certain level or verifying within a timeframe).
If the requirements aren't clear, look for additional details on the offerwall or advertiser's website.
Tips for Successful Verification
Use a Valid Email: Make sure you have access to the email address you sign up with, and check your spam folder for verification emails.
Use a Real Phone Number: If phone verification is required, use a number that can receive SMS messages. VoIP numbers often don't work.
Complete Verification Promptly: Some offers have time limits on verification. Don't wait too long or you might miss the window.
Follow All Steps: Read instructions carefully and complete every required action, even if it seems minor.
Take Screenshots: Document your verification steps in case you need to submit proof later.
Questions?
Remember, for offer-related issues, you'll need to contact the offerwall provider directly after waiting 72 hours, as tracking is handled by them—not by EarnLab.
