Yes, Bigcash is legit. It is a real rewards site and iPhone app that pays PayPal cash and gift cards for playing games, trying apps and taking surveys. You will also see it called Bigcashweb, after its address, bigcashweb.com. It is rated 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot from more than 23,000 reviews, and 4.5 on the App Store. The catch is in the rules. Bigcash can take rewards back if you start games and drop them, and it can raise your cash out minimum based on how you use your account. Treat it as pocket money, and make one small cash out early to prove it pays you.

Where Bigcash’s own pages disagree with each other, we say so. Still deciding where to spend your spare minutes? Start with our list of the best money making apps.
Is Bigcash legit?
Yes. Bigcash is a real rewards site, not a scam. Its home page says it has paid users more than $20 million and has been running since 2015. Its iPhone app has been on the App Store since 2020. On Trustpilot, 74% of its 23,251 reviews are five stars, and 14,500 of those reviews were written in the last 12 months.
| Where | Rating | Based on |
|---|---|---|
| Trustpilot | 4.5 out of 5, rated Excellent | 23,251 reviews |
| Apple App Store | 4.5 out of 5 | 2.1K ratings |
| Google Play | No listing found | A search for Bigcash showed other apps |
| Bigcash’s home page | 4.7 out of 5 “on Google” | “400K+ reviews” that we could not match to any listing |
Ratings as shown on each listing when we checked for this update. They move over time.
That last row matters. Bigcash’s home page shows 4.7 out of 5 on Google from more than 400,000 reviews, and two of its landing pages credit the same score to Google and Trustpilot. Trustpilot itself shows 4.5 from about 23,000 reviews, and we could not find a Bigcash app on Google Play at all. The real ratings are still good. The marketing number is just bigger than anything we could verify.
Four more things matter if you are asking whether a site is legit.
- No company name on the legal pages. Bigcash’s terms and privacy policy do not name a legal company. The App Store lists the app under an individual developer, not a company, and Bigcash’s blog gives an office address in Dubai Silicon Oasis in the UAE.
- An old privacy policy. It says it was last updated in January 2019, and it names a different web address, bigcashapp.com.
- Reviews are invited. Trustpilot notes that Bigcash asks its customers for reviews. It also shows that Bigcash has replied to 18% of its negative ones.
- Payment complaints exist. Trustpilot’s own summary says reviewers report mixed experiences with payment. Several recent reviews there and on the App Store describe the same thing: small cash outs arrived fast, then a larger one was returned to the account as coins after a warning about starting too many games. On the App Store, the developer replies to many of these complaints and offers to look at each case personally.
That last complaint lines up with Bigcash’s written rules, which we cover in the catches below. Read them before you put hours into a game. If they sound fine, the low first cash out makes Bigcash cheap to test.
Is Bigcash safe?
You sign up with an email address or a Google account. Bigcash’s requirements guide says members generally do not need to show ID to join or to cash out. Its withdrawal guide says Bigcash may ask for a government ID or proof of address if a withdrawal is flagged and you appeal.
The privacy policy says Bigcash collects your email address, your PayPal address when you redeem, your IP address and details about your device, including installed apps and location. The App Store listing says the app may use identifiers to track you across other companies’ apps and websites. The offers themselves come from outside ad networks, and each one has its own privacy rules.
Two habits keep you safe on any site like this. Use a separate email address for offer sign ups, which is Bigcash’s own advice. And never pay for a trial or an in-game purchase you do not want just to finish an offer.
What is Bigcash and how does it work?
Bigcash is a get-paid-to site, often shortened to GPT. Advertisers pay Bigcash when you install a game, reach a level or finish a survey. Bigcash keeps a cut, which it does not disclose, and passes the rest to you as coins.
- Join. It is free. Bigcash’s guide sets the minimum age at 13.
- Earn coins. Play games to set levels, try apps, take surveys or watch videos.
- Redeem. Every 250 coins is worth $1. Bigcash’s withdrawal guide puts the PayPal minimum at $1.
The Bigcash app and the Bigcashweb site
Bigcash runs as a website at bigcashweb.com and as an iPhone app called BIGCASH: Make Money. The app is free, rated 4.5 from 2.1K ratings, needs iOS 13.4 or later and is listed as iPhone only. Bigcash’s guide says an Android app is available too, but we could not find one on Google Play when we checked. On an Android phone or a computer, use the website in your browser.
Ways to earn on Bigcash
Bigcash’s own guide lists six ways to earn. The ranges below are the ones Bigcash publishes, and it labels them as reported, not guaranteed.
| Way to earn | What you do | What Bigcash says it pays |
|---|---|---|
| Games | Install a game and reach set levels by a deadline | Commonly $10 to $20 per offer, paid in steps as you hit each level. Quick plays pay $0.50 to $2 |
| Apps | Install an app, then register or reach a set step | $0.40 to $2 for a simple install. $5 to $20 for a finance app that needs a linked account |
| Surveys | Answer the surveys you match | About $0.50 to $3 each, based on length |
| Videos and ads | Watch short ads | Very little. Bigcash calls it a filler task |
| Offer walls | Trials, sign ups and shopping offers from ad partners | It varies. Trials that need a card are listed at $4 to $16 |
| Referrals | Invite friends with your link | 20% of what they earn, for life, per the home page |
The home page counts 3210 offers and a top payout of $170 for a single offer. Read both as marketing numbers. The same 3210 appears in a screenshot of the page saved in January, so it is not a live count. And Bigcash’s guide says payouts near $170 are for complex tasks or trial sign ups.
Game offers
Games are where the bigger payouts sit, and where most of the rules bite. Each offer lists the levels to reach and a deadline, such as a set level within 21 days. Bigcash’s guides say coins usually show up within 24 hours of a level, though one guide allows 24 to 72 hours and another says complex offers can take 1 to 5 business days.
To get credit, start the game from Bigcash’s link, not from an app store search. It has to be a game you have never installed before. Keep tracking turned on, keep the game installed until the coins land, and take a screenshot when you hit each level. Bigcash’s own tip is to stick to one or two games at a time.
How much can you make on Bigcash?
We are not going to invent an hourly rate. Bigcash’s own pages do not agree on one either. These are the numbers it publishes.
- The home page says the average user earned $26.50 the day before.
- One Bigcash guide calls $10 to $50 a week a realistic goal with consistent effort.
- Another says users often report $10 to $20 a day from game offers.
- The same guides say most game offers pay $10 to $20, and that earnings tend to be highest in your first few weeks.
Those figures cannot all describe the same typical member. The $26.50 comes with no note on who is counted, and none of them is a promise. The most useful line is the least exciting one. Bigcash’s guide walks through a first week of two app installs, a few surveys and one game level, and adds it up to $15 for a few hours of effort.
Plan on pocket money. If a few dollars a week for games you would play anyway sounds fine, Bigcash fits. If you need a set amount by Friday, this is the wrong tool, and our guide for when you need money now is a better place to start.
How Bigcash pays you
Every 250 coins is worth $1. Bigcash’s withdrawal guide lists these minimums and timings.
| Reward | Minimum | Bigcash’s stated timing |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal cash | $1, or 250 coins | Often within 24 hours, up to 48 |
| Gift cards | $1 for most, $5 for PlayStation and Xbox | Often the same day or within 24 hours |
| Visa prepaid card | Commonly $1 | Fast, but the guide calls the data limited |
| Crypto | It varies | It varies by network |
From Bigcash’s own withdrawal guide. The options you see depend on your account and your country.
Bigcash’s guides say they found no fixed withdrawal charge from Bigcash itself, but PayPal may take its own cut. Three Bigcash guides run the same $10 example and land on three different amounts received: $9.61, $9.46 and $9.41.
A first withdrawal can be slower, and so can one made on a weekend. Bigcash’s PayPal guide also says some users report a cap of around $100 a day or per withdrawal. If a withdrawal is flagged and you appeal, the guide says a first review takes 5 to 10 business days and harder cases can run to 30 or more. For more ways to earn this kind of reward, see our guide to free PayPal money.
Where Bigcash’s own pages disagree
This is the part to read twice. The numbers above are not the same everywhere on Bigcash’s own pages.
| Topic | One Bigcash page says | Another says |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal minimum | $1, in the withdrawal guide | PayPal transfers of $15 and $35, in the iPhone app description. The terms say minimums can change by account |
| Gift card minimum | $1 for most cards, in the withdrawal guide | Typically $5, in the earning guide |
| Payout time | Most payments are instant, and holds clear in 1 to 8 hours, in the PayPal guide | Within 36 hours in the app description, up to 48 hours in the withdrawal guide, and up to about 14 days in extreme cases in the country guide |
| Rating | 4.7 out of 5 from 400K+ reviews, on the home page | Trustpilot shows 4.5 from 23,251 reviews. The App Store shows 4.5 from 2.1K ratings |
| Sign up bonus | A “Claim 3x Bonus” button with no terms, on the home page | A small sign up bonus may be offered, with $0.20 as the example, in the requirements guide |
| Typical earnings | $26.50 earned by the average user the day before, on the home page | $10 to $50 a week as a realistic goal, in the earning guide |
| Time in business | Since 2015, on the home page | The same line is labeled 8 years |
| Australia | Cash outs are confirmed there, in the requirements guide | Its status is less clear, in the country guide |
None of this means Bigcash does not pay. It means the number that counts is the one on your own cash out screen. Check it before you put hours into a game, and make your first withdrawal as soon as you can.
The Bigcash bonus and promo codes
Bigcash’s pages mention bonuses in several places. Here is what each one showed when we read it.
- A 3x bonus. The sign up buttons on Bigcash’s home page, blog and landing pages all promise one. On the home page the button reads “Claim 3x Bonus.” None of those pages explains what is tripled, for how long or on which offers. One recent App Store reviewer describes a game offer listed at three times its usual payout, with a time limit to claim it.
- A small sign up bonus. Bigcash’s requirements guide says one may be offered and gives $0.20 as its example.
- “$25 instantly.” One Bigcash landing page is headed this way. Its own steps say you can claim the $25 once your cash outs reach $50. That is a reward for members who have already withdrawn $50, not money for joining.
- Promo codes. Bigcash’s guide says a code entered at sign up can unlock higher paying tasks or a percentage boost on your first earnings. Bigcash does not publish a list of codes on its site.
So join for the offers, not for a bonus figure. The pages we read do not put a dollar amount on signing up. If the page you land on shows one, find its terms before you count on it. On the $25 page, they were in the last step.
The catches in Bigcash’s rules
Most of what goes wrong on Bigcash is written into its terms. These are the rules that cost people money.
- Rewards can be reversed. If an advertiser reports that your play was not genuine, Bigcash can take the reward back or restrict your account. Its examples are starting several games without real progress, finishing only the early levels, and dropping offers after the first reward. The terms use 20 or more days of progress as their example of real play, and say the advertiser’s decision is final.
- Your cash out minimum can go up. The terms say minimums may be adjusted based on your account, including your purchase history and how far you play into games. Recent reviewers describe their smallest option becoming $60 or $100.
- Too many games is a red flag. One App Store reviewer says support told them to play only two or three games for 7 to 14 days before cashing out. Bigcash’s own guide gives similar advice.
- Streaks need real activity. Bigcash’s guide says a 30 day streak can add up to a 50% bonus. The terms say opening the app is not enough, and that streak bonuses can be paused, reset or revoked.
- One account per household. No second accounts and no VPN. Bigcash’s guide extends that to one account per household or IP address.
- Accounts can be closed without a reason. The terms let Bigcash end your access at any time without explaining why.
- Support is by email. The pages we read list email addresses and no phone number. Bigcash’s guide says many users get a reply within 12 to 24 hours. Some reviewers say they waited much longer.
Every one of these is easy to live with if you play one or two games properly and cash out as you go. They hurt people who install ten games, chase the first reward on each and let a balance build.
Bigcash pros and cons
- Free to join
- PayPal minimum of $1 in Bigcash’s own guide
- PayPal payouts often arrive within 24 hours
- Rated 4.5 on Trustpilot and the App Store
- Games, apps, surveys and videos in one account
- Its own pages disagree on minimums and timing
- Rewards can be reversed if you drop games
- Your cash out minimum can rise
- No Android app found on Google Play
- No company name on its legal pages
Use it if you play phone games anyway, will stick with one or two until the levels are done, and want a low first cash out.
Skip it if you like to try lots of games and drop them, want rules that are the same for every member, or need an Android app. Three alternatives are below.
Who can join Bigcash
Bigcash’s guide sets the minimum age at 13, and some offers need you to be 18. PayPal needs you to be 18 as well, so a younger member should plan on gift cards. Our list of surveys for teens has more options for that age group.
Bigcash’s guides call it available worldwide, with the most offers in the US, UK and Canada. They also say members in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Uganda and Serbia may see few or no high value offers. What you can earn depends on where you live, and using a VPN to change that breaks the terms.
How Bigcash compares with Freecash, Testerup and Swagbucks
Bigcash’s edge is the low first cash out. Its weak spots are the loose paperwork and the strict rules on game play. These are the three closest apps, and all of them are free to join.
| App | Best for | Pays by | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bigcash | A low first cash out | PayPal and gift cards | iPhone app and website. Strict rules on dropping games |
| Freecash | The most ways to earn | PayPal, Venmo, gift cards or crypto | Says most users earn from a few dollars up to around $50 in a typical month |
| Testerup | Testing mobile games | PayPal | 18 and older, in the US, the UK and Canada outside Quebec. Payouts take up to 3 business days |
| Swagbucks | Surveys and cash back shopping | Gift cards or PayPal | Shows more than $706 million paid to members on its own counter |
Want the full picture first? Our Freecash review, Testerup review and Swagbucks review go through each one, and our reviews of LootUp and Mistplay cover two more apps in the same space.
If the low minimum is what you want, Bigcash is the one to try first. If you would rather have a bigger name with more ways to earn, read the reviews above before you pick.

Our verdict on Bigcash
Bigcash is legit. It is a real rewards site with a long list of game offers, a PayPal minimum its own guide puts at $1 and a 4.5 rating from more than 23,000 Trustpilot reviewers. It is also loosely documented. Its pages contradict each other, its terms let it reverse rewards and raise your cash out minimum, and it does not name a company on its legal pages.
We rate Bigcash 4 out of 5. It earns that for the low first cash out, fast PayPal payouts and strong ratings on Trustpilot and the App Store. It loses a star for the gaps between what its own pages say and for rules that can change by account. The rating is based on Bigcash’s published terms, guides and public ratings as of this update.
The way to use it is simple. Play one or two games at a time, cash out a small amount early, and do not count on any bonus you cannot find the terms for.
