Many folks have asked about Kerclink as a reliable GPT or get paid to site, the answer seems to be a little more complicated than a straight up yes or no.
In case you are not in on the GPT or get paid to site lingo, Kerclink.com or kerclink is a site where after downloading a short application you are able to play games for cash. Seems like a straightforward win win huh? Well, not exactly. In playing the games you are awarded Clinks. These clinks are then converted to cash at the end of the month. The clink to cash exchange rate, which changes every month, usually clicks in at about one clink equalling one one thousands of one cent range. If you need me to tell you that is very bad, maybe we should rethink this whole GPT site thing.
You also earn clinks for referring people, and you get a match tally of clinks for every person you refer. So if you refer ten people and they earn five thousand clinks each, you will receive your bonus referring clinks, as well as a match tally of fifty thousand clinks. Obviously, with the clink to cash ratio being so high you need to refer a fair amount of people to earn the minimum $10 cash-out. I suppose if you have a ton of people waiting to sign up underneath you, lots of cash can be earned. But you would need a whole lot of people.
Kerclink offer several games. Solitaire, a space invaders knock off, some strategy games etc, they are simple to play and easy to learn. The folks at Kerclink also offer straight up cash on random games at random times. You may earn between one penny to as much as fifteen cents for winning a game. Oh, did I mention that as the cash value of the game goes up, so does the difficulty level? Well. it does. And the higher difficulty is challenging to say the least.
So is Kerclink a scam. Depends on your definition of the work scam. Seeing as how there is some return, however long it may be with no referrals to hit the $10 cash out, I suppose Kerclink is not an out and out scam. But, seems like even the chance to two dollars a month for an hour a day playing games would net out to be about six cents an hour, I am going to play someplace else. But hey, its your time, you can do whatever you want.

Yeah sounds like unless you can bring in a ton of referrals to the site it’s a waste of time. The payout rate is ridiculously low. Thanks for the warning!

I’ve been a member for over 4 years, never a problem until now. Kerclink is operated by Mid Ten Media. Even though you can’t make big bucks, if you are able to win a few games with 2 to 5 cents, you will be able to earn about $10 within 3-4 months. I have emailed Kerclink as well as Mid Ten for over two months and no reply. Requested a check for a little over $12 two weeks ago and it still is showing check requested. Usually after a request has been made a check is listed as mailed within 5 days.

I requested a check in August. No reply to any e-mails. I tried calling Mid-Ten Media and suspiciously, the call can not be connected once you pass the operator. BBB has no records of complaints. I left a message on voice mail but do not expect a reply. My feeling is the company is gone. If you look at the ads being cycled, 90 % belong to the parent company.
