Task Problems

Common solutions for issues completing tasks and receiving credit.
Quick steps
  1. Credits can take a few minutes to 24–48 hours. Check your earnings or transaction history for Pending status.
  2. Follow the task instructions exactly (same link, same account, complete all steps in one session).
  3. For games: install from the task link, reach the required level, and keep the same device/account linked to Paidwork.
  4. Disable ad blockers and allow pop-ups for Paidwork when doing ad or video tasks.
  5. If credit still doesn’t appear after 24–48 hours, contact support with the task name and what you completed.

Not Receiving Credit for Tasks

Credit is often delayed by a few minutes or up to 24–48 hours. Check your earnings or transaction history for Pending — that means it's being processed. If you completed a task and still don't see credit:

  • Wait a few minutes - credits can be delayed
  • Check if the task is still pending in your history
  • Verify you completed all task requirements
  • Check if you followed instructions correctly
  • Ensure you met all eligibility criteria
  • Contact support if credit doesn't appear after 24-48 hours

Tasks Not Showing Up

If you can't find available tasks:

  • Refresh the page
  • Check different task categories
  • Verify your account is fully verified
  • Check if tasks are available in your location
  • Clear browser cache and try again

Task Errors or Crashes

If a task is giving errors or crashing:

  • Refresh the page and try again
  • Clear browser cache and cookies
  • Try a different browser
  • Disable browser extensions temporarily
  • Update your browser to the latest version
  • Check your internet connection
  • Report the issue to support

Tasks Marked as Incomplete

If tasks are marked incomplete:

  • Review the task requirements carefully
  • Ensure you completed all steps
  • Check if there's a time requirement you missed
  • Verify you reached required milestones
  • Make sure you didn't skip any instructions

Game Tasks Not Crediting

Game rewards often take 24–72 hours to credit. To avoid issues:

  • Install the game only from the link in the Paidwork task (don't use an existing install from another source)
  • Reach the exact level or objective stated in the task
  • Use the same device and account that's logged into Paidwork
  • Wait at least 24–48 hours for the game partner to report progress to Paidwork
  • Don't use VPNs or multiple accounts

Survey Tasks Issues

For survey tasks:

  • Answer all questions completely
  • Provide honest and consistent answers
  • Don't rush through the survey
  • Ensure you qualify for the survey demographics
  • Complete the survey in one session

Ad Viewing Issues

If ads aren't working:

  • Disable ad blockers
  • Allow pop-ups for Paidwork
  • Watch the entire ad duration
  • Complete any required interactions
  • Check if JavaScript is enabled

General Tips

  • Read task instructions carefully before starting
  • Complete tasks in one session when possible
  • Don't use multiple accounts for the same task
  • Follow all task requirements exactly
  • Keep your browser and apps updated
  • If credit doesn't appear after 24–48 hours, contact support with the task name and proof of completion
Best Practices

Take your time, follow instructions carefully, and complete tasks properly to ensure you receive credit. Quality completion is better than rushing.
