Gagabux is a paid to click / surf program, as stated on the website - " Earn up to $0.02 per click and $0.015 for every referral click. If you have $2 accumulated, you can cashout, Approved cashout request released within 5 to 7 working days. " As seen by the complaints below this far from the truth. The support forum is also heavily censored, Complaints are filtered out. There are many many cases of reported
non payment.
For the reasons above, and the complaints listed below, Gagabux has been boycotted!

Name: Volina Manson Date: August 20, 2010 Comments: would not let me cashout unless I upgraded. This sounds close to extortion
Name: Farid Ahmed Date: August 19, 2010 Comments: I've been a standard member of gagabux.com since 17 March 2010 received my first payment $2.07 from them on 19 April 2010. When I tried to cashout my second payout amount $5.00, it said that my request for payment in the queue but not paid and they changed their site outlook. Now my main balance is $19.380 and when I click on the cashout button, it says, "For Upgraded Members Only
Sorry, cashout is available for upgraded members only. Click here to upgrade." which is not at all acceptable as a standard member. Moreover, I've known from http://ptc-investigation.com/gagabux.aspx that gagabux.com has turned into a scam. It's a very unexpected news for a poor person like me who had a dream of earning small amounts of money online. I curse them from the bottom of my heart that they won't be able to rest in peace with their unfair incomes.
Name: costy Date: August 11, 2010 Comments: Not paiyng and you are forced to upgrade to get the money if you will get it!They choose who will get paid!I was requesting a payout 4 months ago when I was premium and still this day I never receive my money.Now the rules have change and my payout was returned in the account.
Name: Fredalone Date: August 5, 2010 Comments: I have waiting from 17-april-2010 for only 2.04$ and they took off my cashout (desapear) and now I put silver (I pay 9$) to receive 13.56$ ... lets see if they will pay now... I will wait 4 months... more no!
Name: Donna Benboe Date: August 5, 2010 Comments: I had requested payment in July and then after about a month they put it back in my account and announced that everyone had to upgrade to receive payout.
Name: Hernán Zalazar Date: August 3, 2010 Comments: Need 9 dollars for get paid for only 2 dolars...
Name: lauraloo Date: August 2, 2010 Comments: spent around £50.00 of my own money requested payout on 3rd may 2010 still nothing.should have listened to other people.i was waiting for 4dollars for 3 months until it was added to my balance when i refused to upgrade a fourth time.they make the rules up as they go along to suit them and avoid paying people.they pay a very small few and when they want.i have been very nice about them till now but avoid at all cost cos they are thieves
Name: Jeanne Date: August 1, 2010 Comments: I too fell into this scam. I joined, got up to the $2 cashout amount, then found out I have to upgrade to get paid? What can be done to get Gagabux closed down for not being legitimate?
Name: Robert Date: July 31, 2010 Comments: Recieved first payment within terms. Second payment went to as I had upgraded but was returned to account when I did not upgrade a second time. The tos has been changed giving no amount of time for payment and you must upgrade to be paid. I have not clicked since the changes and consider this to be a non paying site.
Name: Sandu Emanuel Barbu Date: July 30, 2010 Comments: I requested a cashout of 5.95$ on the 20th of April. 31st of July and no money. I'm upgraded until August 11th. They just wait for my "SILVER" to finish so they can start again. Some people still think they should get money to upgrade!!! GagaBux is the greatest cheat in the history of ptc. The best thing you can do is to STOP registering there. You'll be trapped clicking and hoping to get your money. The more you "earn", the more you'll whine about getting your money. There should be laws about this. Alertpay and Gagabux should have a say in this shameless scam.
Name: Fanny Aronova Date: July 28, 2010 Comments: I wated more than two months and it was written on my account that my cashout request is in a queue.
Today I found out that I have to upgrade to be payed! This site is a real scam!
Name: Luis Date: July 28, 2010 Comments: well is been more than 4 months no payment and i investied here to much so as i want to submit this
Name: smartwizard Date: July 26, 2010 Comments: Your Cashout Request is in the queue $2.14 (06/07/2010)
I am still not paid and they even created a new rule after the payment request saying this:
"cashout is available for upgraded members only"
...So that they can forget about paying me and a lot of others due to a rule not yet in order at the time of this request.
I'm fed up.
Name: Guilherme Date: July 24, 2010 Comments: No money to pay everyone (it means you will wait like 3 month to get payment)
And does not pay mine request (And changed the date of the payment when the day comes!!!)
Name: Nina Rea Date: July 24, 2010 Comments: The screenshot attached says it all. I upgraded for $50 in March hoping to enjoy a 12-month Silver Membership but the only payment I ever received from them was $2.040 way back when I was still a Standard Member. This payment on queue was supposed to be my second payment. I can't even post comments in their Forum (like they're not approving my payment processor posts) and I also tried sending support tickets but i'm not getting any response now. I believe they responded once (sometime in May), saying that they're doing their best to clear the payment queue but we're heading towards the month of August now, still no payment. I'm so disappointed and I regret investing on this site.
Name: Francisco Estrada Date: July 20, 2010 Comments: Gagabux is scam. I have been waiting 44 days and nothing, no payment.
I was Silver two months but got my senses back and
stop clicking, it´s useless.
Now they say that only those who upgrade from standard to silver, gold or diamond memberships are the ones to be paid. Sure i am not gonna upgrade (give them my money) and wait one month and a half or more guessing if this time they´ll pay me or not.
What is Gagabux going to do with the money they refuse to pay to standard members? Of course they just don´t talk about it.
Very disappointed about Gagabux.
Name: Cheryl Gantt Date: July 19, 2010 Comments: I reached minimum payout and requested my earnings. This was about 3 months ago. I sent a support ticket, still no response.
Name: alwi ardiansyah Date: July 19, 2010 Comments: they never paid. i am waiting my 1st payment and they never pay me.
they only pay Admin , admin and admin. they never pay member
Name: Antony John Date: July 19, 2010 Comments: Payment not received even after the commited date
The date was commited by admin in the forum earlier
I requested my first payment on 4th of May 2010. Based on the so called 'rule' of 30 'working' days, the day comes on June 15th. Then 7 more 'working' days for something else... and that makes the D-Date as June 24th. I was early waiting for June 24th for the last couple of months.. and now for the last five days I am waiting for my money to come to my account, and it did not happened yet. I asked this question earlier in this forum and the response i got was that the money will get credited to my account on 24th July. This did not happen. I would like to get a response from the moderator, about why didn't this happen and when will the money actually comes to my account. Please note, that I need a date.
I have been spending lot of time on this in canvasing people and making the referrels do the clicks for you. I need to know whether i am actually wasting my time on this. I have already spent 4 dollars in this site for referrels, jackpots etc and I am still waiting for my first payment of 2 dollars. (All those referrels which I rented till now were total waste as they were total lazy, all of them.) Though the earnings were a bit low I now think neobux was far better that this.
You must be now replying saying that i should have read the TOS and things before joining. I had read all those and under stood the TOS. I am writing this concern just because the website is not responding on the date in which it is committed to me as per TOS. So I really expect the reason for this delay and the expect date on which I will get the payment.
Name: Diane Morais Date: July 18, 2010 Comments: Well I guess we can call Gagabux.com the Innovation of the Scam...I wasn't sure it was scam until I reached the 2 bucks to cashout and when I clicked for the cashout it says that I have to UPGRADE to cashout...so I upgraded to Silver for one month...and I did my cashout...but finaly found out that, they say between 5 to 7 days but they say in the forum that it will take one month AND 5 to 7 days, and you need to be an upgraded member to receive it...so that mean, the sliver month that I pay is sweet nothing good cause the cashout will be more than one month...Also, only allowed to one cashout per month. Damn they know how to trick us to get some money huh? wow, I feel bad for other people who cashout and after 2 months still not getting paid, and also, it's true that they don't post our comments in the forum!
Wow, I guess I better kiss my Silver upgrade and my Cashout goodbye huh?
Gaga is really the Innovation of the SCAM. and they don't care.

I did received 1st payment within 3 hours. I was so impressed with their honesty & quickness.
But alas .... Now they have turned into scam.
My main balance is now reached over $ 14 now ( which I think I will never get ).
Name: jayson Date: July 15, 2010 Comments: Requested cashout since may 12 until now, no payment has been received. No reply from support. No payout to standard members, cant transfer main balance to purchase upgrade. This is definitely a SCAM. Dont ever try to upgrade to silver /gold membership. If they cant pay standard members how come they will be able to pay upgraded members..
Name: Nick Date: July 14, 2010 Comments: I requested a payout as a free member and never received it, now they require you to upgrade to request a payout, I smell scam.
Name: Andrew Wilson Date: July 13, 2010 Comments: I did nothing wrong, cashed out 50$, and was banned because they think I cheated.
Whenever you cash out more than 20, you get banned the next day
Name: Chin Heng Date: July 13, 2010 Comments: Ever Changing Rules:
(1)Cashout requires Upgrade.

Name: Nancy Date: July 12, 2010 Comments: Well,I've been an active member of many sites, including Gagabux, it seemed quite good! Then I intented to cash out for $6.95,it never happened and it's been about 2 months and a half now and they want standar members to upgrade but some silver members won't even get their payment,or some do after like 60 days or more,I am not a silly person thinking PTC, is gonna get me rich, I do believe it's a decent side cash,but sites like this, starting good and ending bad, waste a lot of our time,so i left it for good.
Name: Veronica Date: July 11, 2010 Comments: I have requested a cashout on 6/2/10 and received a message saying your cashout is in the queue. I have not received payment yet. And I submitted 2 support tickets about my payment and they have gone unanswered. Now I see a hit the cashout button a message reads "For Upgraded Members Only
Sorry, cashout is available for upgraded members only. Click here to upgrade." his is absolutely rediculous, now I have to pay to upgrade my FREE standard membership just to get paid the money that I am owed. So basically they are trying to force us to upgrade or I cannot receive my money!!
Name: GAGA is a SCAM SITE Date: July 11, 2010 Comments: The admins are completely useless, they say they pay in 5-7 days on the forum, so many lies from the owners/admins of the site

I had 1500 referrals with good click rate but now I have only 500 because I can't extend them nor recycle from Main balance. There are 600 us dollars in my Main balance which I will never get because Gagabux do not pay!
Forum is censored, they want us to invest our money and they do not give us our payments.

Name: teledongdong Date: July 7, 2010 Comments: well now that they have made the big changes to the site everything looks like a scam. you can no longer transfer money from main balance to rental balance, you can't cashout unless you have upgraded, you have a limit of money you can transfer to the account per month, and you can't cashout more than 150 dollars/ month also.
now how promising does that look? the old gaga that i was so happy about because it had 20+ ads and 1 cent/click. after these changes were made i only got 3-4 clicks a day.
seems like another ptc will go down.

Name: User cheated Date: July 4, 2010 Comments: I am quite in favor of gagabux service if you are between 10-12 years and lots of free time and want ilusionarte believing that you will win something with this service because it is a good place, (not if you notice that I'm being sarcastic)
Site also has many useful services to lose time and advertising which of 15 ads that make you work just 8
oh referrals which are as workers and doctors at a hospital if you have no health insurance
I recommend Gagabux its moderators and administrators as well as having been interrogated by the Gestapo or do you take out a wisdom tooth ^. ^
Name: vedran Date: July 4, 2010 Comments: It's a scam, no doubt.I requested a payment more than two moths ago, an never received it. I tried to click in enough money to upgrade, and now they announced "exciting changes", meaning your main ballance is good for absolutely nothing: you can't rent refs, you can't request payment,unless you upgrade.Of course, via paypal/alertpay,not by main balance.Forum posts
are impossible without moderator approval, any attempt of criticism will result with asking for
patience,or with private message threating with suspension.And just one more thing: gagabux forum is full of posts in which moderators are tapping each other backs for "great explanations".
gagabux = vuvuzele.
Name: fanourios siskakis Date: July 2, 2010 Comments: The site as you know it, has numerous bugs and problems. besides that, i am a gagabux member since they lunched... after tow months, when they were paying everyone in time, they started paying people after a very long period of time. i was paid the third time, 130dollars if i remember, after 1 and a half month, and ONLY because i was sending messages to the admin, EVERY day, complaining and telling them i will take further action if they wont pay... now, i am waiting my fourth payment, since 26th of may... figure this out. whenever i am sending messages to admin about my payment, i never get a responce back...
Another thing, every member of gagabux, is leaving, does not click any more... in the "good" days in the past, i had 1700 clicks per day, now i have 700-800. i have 500 rented referals. so, every referal clicks on average 1,5 click per day!!! come on... who are they kidding. i wont invest anything any more in this site... i wanted to upgrade my account one more time, but no, i won't upgrade. maybe they pay me in one month per now... I don't care. i now members that are not complaining as i did, will get paid in 3 months from now when new members invest in the site...
I am open to any questions you might have about this scam site...

Name: Stephen Whittle Date: July 2, 2010 Comments: Have a $5.11 payment not received well after their promised time frame for payments. Additional balance of $14.06 would be requested for a payment if the original payment were ever made. However, as of 7/2/10, non-upgraded members cannot request payments, which is inappropriate (especially with zero notice!). Expecting a total payment of $19.17 (they can have the $0.005, lol).

Already have a nice amount in main balance from my hard daily work clicking and advertising this site ($125) I will never receive. Also, my posts (around 7) are not being approved and I didn't disrespected, made false accusations or cursed: I am a honest member claiming what I earned with my work. Another thing: the old mods of forum took off their status, before visible to the public, as perhaps they already received and they asked payment in the same date I did.... Well, signs and facts appoint to Gagabux turned SCAM.
Name: Stanley Richardson Date: June 18, 2010 Comments: This site is a scam. I did not get paid after requesting a cashout of $5.10 on 20-4-2010. And do look at the payment proof section in their forum. http://gagabux.com/forum/?v=v&cat=5&id=22310
The proof is made months earlier than the date of posting it! It means that the admin is changing the dates of posts to fool the users! SCAM!!

I assume that these payments are made to their own staff or or kith or kin of the Admin.

Name: sreekanth Date: May 15, 2010 Comments: Hello Team,
I'm sreekanth from India, a registered member of GAGABUX.COM.
I would like to inform you few important things about it. I hope you might be aware that it is a PTC site. But for the past 2 months, it is not paying for any of its users for over nearly 1 month. But the time they say to release a payment is just 7-8 working days. I'm also one who is waiting for a payment from them.
Today when i visited their forum just a hour back, i realised there are many whbo are just like me. I wonder how many might be still there!!!
Moreover when i tried to make a post in the forum, after submitting, my post was invisible. I read the same is the case for many users who are waiting for their payment.
I want to inform you on this so that you will help others.
Thanks.
