Credits not received...
Since March 2026, the amount shared and the credits received does not add up. They claim 10.24MB = 1c. Yet I have a number of photos reflecting that I am NOT receiving these credits. The only thing received is the pot value and that it. This has now turned into a pathetic append a waist of time allowing them to spy through your connections. Did even receive any credits for invites. DON'T waist your time.

Thank you for your feedback and positive comments about Honeygain.com.
Honeygain is designed to be a trustworthy and fair platform. It focuses on user safety and privacy by collecting only essential data such as your email, IP address, and payout method, with all connections encrypted and inaccessible to outsiders. The platform is not linked to malware or viruses and does not access your personal files or data. For more details, you can review our official safety overview here: Is Honeygain safe? What user data is being collected?.
You are correct that while gathering enough credits can take some time, the cashout process itself is quick. With PayPal, after reaching the $20 threshold and requesting a payout, you typically receive the registration email within 1 business day and the funds in about 2–3 business days. If you use JumpTask mode, payouts are instant or arrive within seconds, and there is no need to reach the $20 threshold first.
no money and no customer service
started using honey gain during winter and in may i got over the 20€ payout limit. i haven't gotten my 20€ and when making a ticket to customer support i get silence.
if you are thinking of using honey gain, don't use it, get a job.

We're sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating it must be. Please note that payout delays can sometimes occur due to account verification, payment processing, or other technical issues.If you haven't received a response from our support team yet, it's likely because we are experiencing a higher-than-usual volume of support requests, which has resulted in longer response times than we'd like.

They deleted $11.5 from my balance due to inactivity but the whole point of honeygain is to earn passively not to be active every day,id say its 90% a scam,it took me very long time to accumulate that balance as well.

We understand your frustration, but describing Honeygain as a scam is simply not accurate. Honeygain has paid millions of users worldwide, and our payout and account policies are clearly stated in our Terms of Use.
While earnings are generated passively, accounts must still comply with platform requirements, including activity rules. These rules apply equally to all users and are communicated in advance.
We appreciate your feedback, but account balance adjustments due to inactivity are not arbitrary. If you believe there has been an error with your specific account, please contact our support team and we will be happy to review it.

I like honey gain only thing is you collect 20 and get given 13 and it takes along time to collect credits
June 5, 2026
Unprompted review
Reply from Honeygain
The difference between collecting 20 credits and receiving about 13 is usually due to payout-related fees and currency conversion. While the exact breakdown of these deductions isn't specified, it's normal for the final amount received to be lower than the displayed credit total.
Earnings can feel slow because they depend on factors like your location, the number of devices or IPs you use, and current traffic demand.
To help credits accumulate faster, you can:
- Use multiple devices on different IPs (including mobile data if possible)
- Enable **JumpTask mode** for a 10% earnings bonus and lower-fee, instant payouts
- Take advantage of the referral program and weekly contests

Complete Scam
Complete Scam – Wasted Time, Money on Internet, and Destroyed Trust
I am extremely disappointed and angry with Honeygain. This is nothing but a fake and complete scam.
I first installed it in 2024 with a 10 Mbps connection. I kept it running daily for months, but I could never even reach the $20 withdrawal limit. After wasting so much time and electricity, I deleted it.
Then at the end of 2025, I thought maybe my internet speed was the problem, so I upgraded to a much faster 60 Mbps connection. I reinstalled Honeygain with high hopes. Now here we are on June 4, 2026, and my earnings are completely stuck at $10. It has stopped progressing entirely.
No matter how fast my internet is, how long I keep it running, or how active I am — it simply doesn't pay. Their system feels completely rigged. You keep giving them your bandwidth and electricity for pennies while they make you chase an impossible $20 limit.
This whole "earn money while doing nothing" idea is a big illusion. Honeygain has completely killed my trust in any multitasking or passive income apps. I feel cheated and stupid for giving them a second chance.
Warning to everyone:
Don't waste your time. Don't waste your internet. Don't fall for their fake earnings. This app is not worth it. i think they want from us to give them meta's or x's data center to pay you $20, then it's clearly a scam.
Never installing again. Stay away!

Thank you for sharing your experience.
Honeygain is not a scam—thousands of users receive regular payouts, and we are a legally registered company operating transparently since 2018. Earning rates are based entirely on real-time client demand for residential IP addresses in your specific region, not on your internet speed or activity level. Fast connections may help, but they do not guarantee higher earnings if local demand is low.
Progress toward the $20 payout can be slow or even pause when network demand drops—this is outlined in our Terms of Service and communicated to all users. The platform is designed for true “passive” income: your device runs in the background, but results depend on external market conditions, not on how much internet you share or for how long.
If the app didn’t meet your expectations, we completely respect your decision to move on. We appreciate constructive criticism and are committed to remaining transparent about how Honeygain works.
Thanks for trying our service.

We understand that spending a significant amount of time using a platform and feeling that the results didn't match your expectations can be frustrating. However, earnings can vary considerably depending on several factors, including your location, network demand, the number of active devices, connection quality, account settings, and participation in available earning opportunities.
Because of these variables, individual experiences may differ, and we'd be happy to review your specific case to better understand what may have affected your results. Many users have successfully earned and withdrawn rewards through Honeygain and JumpTask and if you're willing, please reach out to our support team with your account details so we can investigate further and provide any clarification we can.

Thank you for sharing your feedback!
After reviewing your case, we can confirm that the payout was successfully processed and sent to the selected payment provider. To help locate the payment and determine what may have happened afterward, we provided instructions and requested additional information. However, we have not received the necessary cooperation required to continue the investigation.
We would still be happy to work together to find the best possible resolution. If you're willing to continue the process and provide the requested details to our support team and the payment provider, we will do our best to help track the payment and clarify the situation.
Our goal is always to ensure that users receive the assistance they need, and we're ready to continue investigating this matter with you.
Rewards halted completely (NOT a traffic-related issue)
I've noticed that Honeygain earnings have effectively stalled since around February. After looking into it, I found that many other long-term users have reported the same issue, with some already uninstalling the app or planning to do so once they reach the withdrawal threshold.
As someone who has used the platform for an extended period, this change is extremely disappointing. It feels like loyal users are being overlooked despite contributing bandwidth and supporting the network for months or even years. The current earning rates make the service difficult to justify, as the amount earned compared to the resources being shared is becoming increasingly negligible.
One suggestion would be to introduce a loyalty or activity-based reward system. For example, users could earn a small percentage bonus through a daily streak tied to opening the Honey Pot, with the bonus gradually increasing up to a reasonable cap. This would encourage consistent engagement while rewarding long-term users who continue to support the platform. At the moment, many users feel that their earnings are declining without a clear explanation, which can be frustrating and discouraging.
Unless earnings become more competitive or long-term users receive meaningful incentives, it is difficult to see the platform as worthwhile compared to the value of the internet bandwidth being contributed. Honeygain has built a large user base over the years, but maintaining that community requires ensuring that users feel fairly rewarded for their participation.
On a more personal note, Content Delivery remains unavailable in Egypt, even after all these years. Considering the platform's age and the potential value of the Egyptian market, it's difficult to understand why the feature has still not been expanded to the country. For Egyptian users, this means being permanently excluded from one of Honeygain's most rewarding earning opportunities, which only adds to the growing frustration surrounding the platform's declining profitability.

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback and for being a long-term Honeygain user.
We understand your concerns regarding earnings and appreciate your perspective. Honeygain earnings are influenced by customer demand for traffic in specific locations, which can naturally fluctuate over time. As demand changes, some users may notice differences in their earning rates compared to previous periods.
We also appreciate your suggestion regarding loyalty-based rewards and engagement incentives. Feedback like yours is valuable, and we continuously share community suggestions with our team as we work on improving the user experience and exploring new opportunities for our users.
Regarding Content Delivery in Egypt - Content Delivery availability depends on market demand and our partners' requirements, which means it is currently only available in selected regions. While we do not have information about future expansion plans for specific countries, we regularly review opportunities to expand our services where possible.
Thank you for your support and the time you've spent contributing to the Honeygain network. Feedback from experienced users helps us better understand community expectations and identify areas where we can improve.

Title: Account locked during payout and support is completely ignoring me!
I have been using Honeygain for years. Today (May 31, 2026), I requested my second payout of $20. The dashboard says "Action Needed" on Tipalti. However, when I try to log in to Tipalti with my correct credentials and correct security answer, it says "Your account is locked. Please contact honeygaincom."
I have already sent dozens of tickets and emails to BOTH Honeygain and Tipalti support, and nobody solves my problem or replies properly. My emails are not reaching them. This is an absolute shame to lock a loyal user's money after years of collecting points. Unlock my Tipalti portal!

We can see that you already have an open support ticket regarding this issue. Please note that our support team does not operate on weekends, which is why your ticket has not yet received a response. Your request is still in our queue, and our team will review it as soon as possible during business hours.
We also kindly ask that you avoid creating multiple tickets or sending repeated emails about the same issue. We understand your frustration, but submitting numerous tickets will not speed up the resolution process. In fact, it can make it more difficult for our team to manage and track your case efficiently.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We will get back to you as soon as possible with an update regarding your Tipalti account and payout request.
