FAQ

Before your first minute.

How much do referrals earn?

You earn 10% of each referral’s base earnings from valid ad exposures funded with purchased credit, with no expiry. AdSurface pays this from its own share; the invited person keeps their full base reward. Promotional credit, purchases and other referral rewards are excluded. There is no signup bonus.

How is my referrer assigned?

The last valid invitation link visited within 14 days is applied automatically at first signup. The association is permanent; existing accounts cannot add or change a referrer. Referral commissions mature after 120 hours and join your earnings balance, with a €25 combined payment minimum. They accumulate even without bank details, but payment requires completed setup and checks.

What am I paid for?

You receive 70% of the actual media price for each complete, eligible minute. The CPM changes hourly, from €2 per 1,000 valid 60-second exposures. Availability, campaign budgets and visibility affect earnings.

When can I receive a payout?

Earnings mature after five days, unless held for review. Available balances of €25 or more enter the weekly Monday review. Complete payout setup before your balance reaches €5 to keep earning from your own exposures. Referral commissions continue to accumulate. Bank processing and country requirements can affect arrival.

Can I pause the ads?

Yes. Pause for 30 minutes, 2 hours, 6 hours, the rest of the day or indefinitely. Paused, interrupted or uncertain minutes never earn or consume campaign credit.

Does AdSurface read my screen?

No screen contents, files, browsing history or keystrokes are collected. The Mac app checks its own placement and basic session eligibility. Account, payment and delivery records are needed to run the service.

Where is AdSurface available?

Adults can participate worldwide with a valid IBAN in their own name. We collect the account holder and IBAN for manually reviewed bank transfers. Residence and IBAN country may differ; accounts without an IBAN are not supported.

Are clicks required?

No. Clicks are optional and never earn extra rewards. Advertisers pay for eligible minutes, not clicks or guaranteed attention.
