Why the timer runs on our side

How the site proves a page was actually watched.

Paid-to-view sites are usually gamed the same way: the page is open, nobody is looking, and the timer is running in a tab that nobody has seen for ten minutes. This site is built so that does not work.

How it works here

  • When you start a page, our server writes down the exact moment it started. That time is not sent to your browser to look after.
  • When you claim, our server compares its own clock against that stored moment. If enough time has passed, it pays. If not, it refuses and tells you how long it saw.
  • Each page view is credited exactly once. A page cannot be claimed twice by reloading it.

What that means for you

Nothing to install, no extension to keep running, and no way to lose a reward because your browser timer drifted. It also means leaving the page for a few seconds is fine — the clock is on our side, so being briefly away does not void the visit as long as the page is open.

Why it has to be this way

Rewards are paid from advertiser money. If a visit could be faked, the advertiser would be paying for nothing, and the whole list would disappear. Enforcing the timer honestly is what keeps the site worth visiting.
