Updates
I believe it is critical to update this review since more and more consumers report ClipClaps as a scam.
Recently, I noticed that many people had their $10 payments declined.
The app said it was in maintenance when they tried to cash out. Now, they blocked the $10 payout and only allowed users to withdraw $15.
This obviously irritated many people who had spent over three months accumulating $10.
The good news is that if you dig through many reviews, you will find a few users who received payment. So, there is still hope, but you have to accept the risks.
Why Does ClipClaps Pay You To Watch Videos?
If you are familiar with reward apps, you probably know that most of them are funded by advertisers.
For example, apps like Buzzbreak earn revenue by showing you lots of ads while you are browsing the news.
That’s how they can run as a business and share part of their revenue with users.
ClipClaps is different in that it’s entirely Ad-free, which means the company is not generating ad revenue as other apps do.
So, how can they afford to reward members?
Where is the money coming from?
Well, you can only discover the underlying business model by reading the Terms and Conditions carefully.
You see, ClipClaps encourages users to upload their own funny and original content to the platform.
Users will retain ownership right to the content.
However, by submitting videos and pictures through the app, users are granting ClipClaps an extensive license to do whatever they want with it.
That includes posting a video or picture on any channel (YouTube, Facebook, etc.) and making money.
In other words, the company is collecting an incredible amount of original videos/pictures and turning them into profits.
That explains how ClipClaps can afford to run ad-free and reward members.
Installation And Registration
The app is available on Android and iOS devices.
Therefore, you can download it on Google Play or App Store.
After the installation, you can sign up using your phone number or Facebook Account.
The registration is swift if you choose the Facebook option, but I recommend reading the Terms of Service and Privacy policy first.
How To Earn Clapcoins
Watching Videos
It’s straightforward!
All you have to do is scroll down to see funny content posted by users.
Most of the content provided by ClipClaps is in the form of entertaining videos, but there are some funny pictures too.
As you scroll down, the video will automatically start playing, and you have the choice to keep watching or move on to the following video.
As you watch a video or scroll down, an orange line at the bottom of your screen will keep moving to the right side.
Also, a countdown will start until the line reaches a treasure chest, which is always on the screen’s right side. Sometimes, you will also find extra chests along the line.
If you stop browsing after a few seconds, the line will come to a halt and turn blue.
When you start the day, the countdown takes only 1 minute.
But after the 3rd or 4th round, the countdown will take 4m 40s.
Once the countdown is over, tap on “Rewards” and open the treasure chest to collect your rewards.
Usually, you will earn anywhere between 50 – 200 ClapCoins per chest.
It’s important to mention that there are four types of treasure chests: Copper, Silver, Gold, and Diamond.
The copper chest gives you only ClapCoins.
The Silver and the Gold ones will give you not only Clapcoins but also Raffle ticket pieces.
As for the Diamond chest, it will give you some cash and a chance to win other fabulous prizes.
However, you can only collect diamond chests by inviting friends.
Raffles
When you open the Silver and Gold treasure chests, you will collect raffle ticket pieces for a chance to win cash prizes and ClapCoins.
To enter a specific raffle, you must collect a particular number of ticket pieces found inside the chests.
For example, the $1 raffle only requires 20 pieces, while the $10 Raffle requires 150.
The higher the card’s level, the better the treasure!
Once you reach the goal, you will be allowed to select a card and scratch it.
ClipClaps will display the prize amount on your card!
In my first raffle, I won $0.30!
What I like about ClipClap raffles is that they will tell you the odds of winning each prize.
For example, the odds of winning the $1 and $10 raffle are 8% and 4%, respectively.
Play Games
ClipClaps app has four cool games: Aquarium, Texas Holdem, Brainaire, and Scratchers.
The Aquarium is, without a doubt, the most popular game!
You can buy fish and feed them so they can evolve and increase in value.
You can increase the level of your fish by feeding them.
In the beginning, feeding the fish is free, but then, it will cost you 1 Clapcoin.
When you increase the level of your fish, you will collect pearls which you can use to buy more fish and expand your aquarium.
I played this game for a while and sold my first fish for $0.12.
Most users like playing the Aquarium, but unfortunately, the game has some annoying bugs.
For example, one player reported that he couldn’t feed his fish after a few days. Then, two days later, all his fish disappeared mysteriously!
Invite Friends
Another way to earn cash is by inviting your friends o join ClipClaps through Facebook, Whatsapp, or another social media network. You can also have your friends scan via QR Share.
For each friend that signs up to ClipClaps, you will get a diamond chest.
Now, if your referral logs in 24 hours after registration, you will get an extra chest. Moreover, if they log in for a second week, you will get one more diamond chest.
You will earn cash rewards and some cool gifts with a diamond chest, depending on your country.
The downside is that ClipClaps won’t tell you how much money you will find inside a diamond chest. But you should expect anywhere between $0.20 – $0.50.
Earn Content Revenue
ClipClaps also allows you to earn Clapcoins for uploading videos and pictures just like you do on Social Media.
If your content is funny and creative enough, it can be featured on ClipClap’s front page, yielding excellent rewards.
The more views and likes you get, the more points you will earn!
I advise reading the community guidelines before uploading any content. For example, you should not upload unlawful, copyrighted, and offensive material. Besides, your videos should not take longer than 90 seconds.
How Much Money Can You Earn With ClipClaps?
Very little!
I have seen people who made $10 in 2 weeks, three months, and four months!
It depends on how long you spend watching videos, but it’s tough to estimate because users never know what is inside the chests.
The more chests you open on a given day, the fewer Clapcoins you will get.
The truth is that you will have to use ClipClaps for a few hours per day to reach $10 in one month.
