At Gaintplay, we strive to provide a seamless and rewarding experience for all our users. However, you may have noticed that some of your earned coins appear as "pending" or "held" rather than being immediately available for withdrawal. This article explains why this happens and what you need to know.
Why Do We Hold Coins?
Offer coins are held pending to prevent chargebacks and reversals from advertisers.
When you complete an offer on Gaintplay, we credit your account based on confirmation from our advertising partners. However, advertisers sometimes reverse or "chargeback" these credits if:
-
The offer was not completed according to their terms
-
The user uninstalled an app too quickly after installation
-
A subscription or trial was cancelled prematurely
-
Fraudulent or suspicious activity was detected
-
Technical errors occurred on the advertiser's end
To protect both Gaintplay and our legitimate users from these reversals, we implement a hold period on higher-value offers. This ensures that only verified, legitimate completions are permanently credited to your account.
Coin Hold Period Schedule
The hold duration depends on the amount of coins earned from a single offer:
Above 15,000 coins — Your coins will be held for 30 days
Above 4,000 coins — Your coins will be held for 15 days
Above 2,000 coins — Your coins will be held for 7 days
Below 2,000 coins — Usually instant credit or minimal hold period
How to Check Your Release Date
To view when your pending coins will be released, navigate to your Earnings History or Pending Coins section in your account. Look for the offer in question, and the estimated release date will be displayed next to the pending amount.
What Does This Mean for You?
✅ If You Completed Offers Legitimately
There is no need to worry!
If you completed your offers in a legitimate way following all the advertiser's requirements, your coins will be released automatically once the hold period expires. Simply be patient until the mentioned release date.
Your pending coins are safe and will be added to your available balance as scheduled.
⚠️ Important Notice
Gaintplay reserves the right to further hold or even freeze your account if any kind of suspicious activity is found.
This includes, but is not limited to:
-
Using VPNs, proxies, or IP masking tools
-
Creating multiple accounts
-
Using emulators or automated scripts
-
Providing false information during offer completion
-
Uninstalling apps immediately after credit
-
Any form of offer manipulation or fraud
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I speed up the release of my pending coins?
A: No, the hold period is fixed and cannot be shortened. This policy applies equally to all users to maintain fairness and platform integrity.
Q: What happens if an advertiser issues a chargeback?
A: If a chargeback occurs during the hold period, the pending coins will be removed from your account. If you believe this was done in error, please contact our support team with proof of offer completion.
Q: Why do higher offers have longer hold periods?
A: Higher-value offers carry greater risk for chargebacks. The extended hold period allows sufficient time for advertisers to verify the legitimacy of completions and for any potential issues to surface.
Q: My coins have been pending longer than the stated period. What should I do?
A: If your coins haven't been released after the hold period has passed, please contact our support team at [email protected] with your Gaintplay ID and details of the offer in question.
Q: Will pending coins show in my available balance?
A: No, pending coins are displayed separately from your available balance. They will automatically move to your available balance once the hold period expires.
Tips to Avoid Issues
To ensure smooth coin releases and avoid account problems:
Complete offers fully — Follow all requirements specified by the advertiser
Keep apps installed — Don't uninstall apps immediately after receiving credit
Maintain subscriptions — If an offer requires a trial, keep it active for the specified period
Use your real information — Provide accurate details when required
One account only — Never create multiple Gaintplay accounts
No VPNs — Always complete offers from your real location
Be patient — Allow the full hold period to pass before raising concerns
