What is Offerwall and how does it work?

Offerwall is a rewarded advertising format where users complete tasks — installing an app, finishing a survey, watching a video or buying a product — to earn points redeemable for rewards. It is user-initiated, so it never interrupts the experience. The publisher earns a commission for every completed action, monetizing even users who never make a direct purchase.

The mechanism is straightforward: embed the Offerwall on your site or app, let users browse the available offers, and each completed task credits points they redeem for premium content, virtual currency or perks.
