Thecircleviews.com is a so called online earning website where users watch videos and refer others to earn money on a daily basis. The rewards are recorded in US Dollars and they claim to be paying as high as $0.75 per minute of watch time i.e. if you spend up to a minute watching the embedded videos on the platform. It appears to be very juicy but upon closer analysis and investigation, I discovered that, the circle views is not really legit and it’s not paying.
In this article, we will be basically breaking down the red flags and what the circle views actually stands for, far from what you’ve been probably made to believe. I bet you have seen links to the platform on social media pages and profiles of people claiming to have earned money from the site and whatnot. It’s normal and the reason for such claims will be discussed alongside.
About thecircleviews.com
Thecircleviews otherwise known as The Circle is an online money making platform that operates using the watch-to-earn model. This means, users get to earn money by watching short video clips after creating an account on the platform.
When you watch videos, you earn on a minute basis, i.e. you earn a fixed amount of money for every second spent watching videos on the site. As a matter of fact, the earnings are being recorded as you watch the clips and you can see the recordings.
It’s very flexible and easy in all honesty and what even makes it surprising is the fact that, the videos don’t contain any adverts, so you would normally have a hassle free streaming experience.
To be honest, If I hadn’t gained so much experience on other so-called earning sites, I would have argued with anyone who claims the site is not legit. I mean, everything is organized and they also have a support system that actually permits someone to create a ticket.
Apart from watching videos, you also earn money when you refer others to the circle views. The referral program doubles as a way to boost revenue and also a condition or prerequisite for withdrawal. If you want to place withdrawal, then there is need not just to refer but to able to bring in very active users to the system. We will talk more on the referral program later.
When Was thecircleviews Launched?
The domain name, thecircleviews.com was officially registered on the 14th of October, 2024 with a validity period of one year.
Administrator of the website used a service to hide his or her real identity and country of origin. But the site is hosted on hostinger hosting provider. So the website itself has been in existence for barely two months, it’s still too new to have very significant payment requests or withdrawals.
Red Flags to Watch Out For
1. High Minimum Withdrawal Threshold – the minimum withdrawal amount is $700, meaning users have to earn this amount from watching videos, referring others before they can even request for payment. High minimum withdrawal especially from a free to earn site is a common sign of a scam platform.
If a website that claims to be paying users for free, fixes a high payment threshold, then it may be time to start stepping aside. Such websites are usually scam and thecircleviews is no exception.
There are various reasons to do so, the first being that, it will take a very long time for you to reach this threshold, secondly, the chances of paying such an amount for free to users is very low.
2. Stringent Withdrawal Conditions – there are several requirements you need to be able to withdraw from the circle views and they are as follows;
- Must have at least 15 direct referrals
- Your referrals must have at least 1,500 minutes watch time on videos cumulatively
- You need to have at least 350 minutes watch time on videos
- At least 10 of your referrals must actively watch videos
A stringent Withdrawal condition, high minimum withdrawal amount are two very common steps taken by scammers to ensure users are not able to withdraw after spending so much time on their website.
It’s one thing to refer people and another to get them to watch videos. In all these, they intentionally provided an easy way out to users, by providing the option to “Hire a Marketer” another scam motive that will be discussed later on this article.
3. False Claims of Payment – on their official telegram channel, they claim to have paid alot of people judging from the numerous notifications but reverse is the case when you look up reviews of the platform. There is no single valid testimonial from any real user about receiving payment from the circle views, so disregard the messages being posted on their telegram channel.
Is thecircleviews.com Legit?
The circle views is not a legit earning platform. It’s a spam website created for the sole purpose of tactically generating money from gullible users. Unlike the numerous platforms reviewed on this blog with an intent to milk revenue via visits.
The administrator or owner of the circle views is out for a different purpose. His or her intention isn’t to generate ad revenue as there is barely an advert on the website at least when I signed up and scrolled around.
But they intentionally implemented some hindrances and so called solutions to make uninformed individuals pay money to get things done.
For instance, on the site, there is an option to “Hire a Marketer” which they claim is someone who can refer people that can help users meet up with the requirements for withdrawal.
Hiring a Marketer will cost nothing less than $100 and above. It’s a tricky idea put in place by the administrators of the website to make people who are unable to refer others, pay money to so called marketers and at the end not be able to get the payment.
Secondly, when you request for withdrawal after much work, they often ask users to deposit $50 before their withdrawals will be processed. This is a very common scam tactic often deployed by fraudsters to make greedy individuals spend money with hopes of getting something higher, only to be ghosted on.
Withdrawals are not free. Bear that in mind, even after meeting all the requirements, you still have to deposit money before the payment will be honoured and that is highly unadvisable.
What People Say About It
In order to further clear your doubts and not make it seem like an all talk no proof kind of article, I decided to look up reviews of the site on trustpilot; you will be intrigued by what I found.
Below are screenshots of the live reviews from users who have probably hit the minimum threshold but were not paid a dime;
In summary, the complaints centered around the fact that, users are being asked to make a minimum payment of $50 before they can access their withdrawals.
The circle views suddenly introduced some sort of VIP class after the users had met all the necessary withdrawal requirements.
So you’re not just hearing it from me, there is nothing legit about the platform, it’s a scam that should be avoided like a plague.
Conclusion
Thecircleviews.com is a SCAM website! Created by dubious elements for the sole purpose of deceiving unsuspecting individuals and milking their money via the Hire A Marketer option and the VIP class requirement needed before processing of withdrawals.
A common rule you should take very seriously is never to pay money to a platform claiming to pay you free money. I mean, if they can pay a whooping $700, what’d they need your $50 for?
