It dipends on which PTC you "waste" your time! There are serious PTC, with a story of many years, which pay less but constantly. Sometimes born PTCs that are more similiar to a ponzy than a real paid to click site. Probably if you mean this kind of PTC then PTC=Gambling

Huh

In have recently partaken on many PTC sites so far. While then good ones make money for you , you never really know how long they will be around. PTC is starting to feel like HYIP which some say I like gambling. The amount you can lose with PTC sites is either your invested money or time or both. Its not nice waiting to see if your payou is gonna go through or not. Has anyone else found this to be the case with PTC or any other money making sites ?

Yes, some of the PTCs indeed are HYIPs or ponzi schemes blatantly. In my opinion, however established one PTC site might be, if they have the feature of renting referrals, then they are a ponzi scheme.

A true PTC site would not let you rent referrals, because it would not bring anything into the owner's hands. It's basically a way to hide a ponzi scheme.

for me ptc site is only when i can earn a little amount of satoshi and not how i can get lose money.
i have see in the past more ptc with "investmet" but is ponzi/hyip, not ptc .

for example ptc for bitcoin is bitvisitor, but you can earn very low amount

Well you ment to get referrals in PTC to increase earnings. It is a sound model but I'm afraid most PTC sites of you look at the amount it costs to put ads there compared to how much you earn clicking them it often doesn't ad up. How can you give $0.005 buy charge $0.001

Huh

PTC is a waste of time and money.There is a PTC site called paidverts (i`m not promoting it) where you can

earn BAP points by clicking ads and then gamble the BAP points by playing different games.They even have

texas hold`em poker.It`s a PTC site,but it looks kinda like an online casino.

Every time i lose all my BAPs so it`s a waste of time.

Yes I'm on that site. Its a good site.
Simply you can compare PTC sites into faucet earning. With a faucet earning you may like to work with the belief of bitcoin's price appreciation. But there is no chances for anything like that with the PTC sites.

If you are investing into a PTC sites then you can compare them with gambling. As most of the PTC (Bux) sites just last for few days to week.

Yes I have noticed most don't last long. Some only a few days even. I think its because its so easy to buy a script. I even saw an added feature where you could sell fake refferals using the script.

this is really an strange question.

i thought PTC was something new but reading the comments i realize it is the good old pay to click system.

but i still don't understand why should you even consider it as gambling? it is more like and investment.

Because you taking a game on weither or not the site will past long or not. Or simply run with you money.

I've spent (or maybe the word "wasted" would more suit here) like 7 years with PTC clicking. I own a GPT website too, which has been paying successfully since 2011, but didn't invest like even a 500 hundred dollars on it's advertising, so very less active.

In PTC, there are NOT much chances of losing the whole website, like there are in HYIP's or Ponzis. A website stays online, at least for a while, unlike HYIP's. As a free member, click on NeoBux, ClixSense, PtcX, Scarlet-Clicks, Clixten, etc. and you will not be scammed. You will earn very little, but the chances of losing of the earned earnings are like 10-90.

IF YOU ARE PLANNING ON RENTING REFERRALS, this maybe a bad choice. You may not be able to recover your investment if you are not very "smart" in managing the referrals. 1 month back, I bought $30 worth of rented referrals at NeoBux, guess what? I haven't even earned $20 from them and their time is about to expire. So I lost this amount. Instead of renting referrals, the advertising of referral link of a stable website should be the priority. I know my friends and relatives earning from the PTC websites such as NeoBux & ClixSense like $100 daily, without doing anything at all now. They promoted the websites at very first, and now enjoying 7-tier referral earnings of different PTC programs.

PTC is worse than gambling, they have nothing in common though!

because you will end up losing both your time and money while doing a meaningless job of visiting websites which may even contain malicious code that can even infect your computer for the visit.

PTC or get-paid websites don't charge any money nor is it compulsory to invest in such sites. Many people choose to invest and get paid-membership with benefits but it's not worth to invest in new sites. There are many good paying sites like Neobux and Get-paid which have been online and paying for years but the pay is quite less. However, it cannot be compared to gambling websites.

They are ponzis, not different from hyips. You know in the end you'll lose your money. If you try to tell these in their forums they'll ban you immediately. Try to write something bad about Neobux in their forums and see what happens. Even if you are a Premium user you'll end up getting banned and all your money, puff, lost.
Not all ptc sites are ponzi's, though a lot of them probably are. I've seen some ptc sites that are most likely legit, but it always takes a very long time to reach payout and they also get some profit from offering paid offers aside from paid clicks.

I think PTC sites are just waste of time because ROI is really slow there and there is possible chance very hard to get back initial investment if we go with brand new sites, overall we don't compare with gambling as some trusted PTC running their business from several years.

I don't see the PTC sites as gambling, could be like a kind of faucets. Gambling is risk to loose, but also emotions to win big, with ptc you can earn few bits like faucets.

You can't make money with PTC sites. You make money only for the owner of the website. It is a total waste of time.

They are like faucets. There is just a little difference. While you make bits, the owner makes the real money out of your work.

There is no connection or similarity between pay per click sites the way those work and gambling.There are lot of sites which offers investment free ways to earn some money while gambling is totally different thing.Gambling is taking risk where you can loose your own money.Though both don't let you to win from them overall.

I had a really good experience on neobux. I was around when the site open, start with risk free, saw things going well and decided to invest and buy my gold membership and some referrals. It was a great bet, because I only invested $50 on the site, and I was winning around $150 to $200 a month after a while. Anyway a lot of things changed and my profit went down and I could not maintain my account without investing again.
I choose not to invest again and let my account "die". The site is still working, but I never tried it again, so I can't say if you can still make profit from it.

Pay per click has totally different concept and is not right to compare it with gambling.I personally think investing in pay per click is more dangerous and many times to remain without money as they turned into scam sites.Gambling is risky but playing own some reputable site at least they don't run with money.

I think PTC sites don't have any similarity with gambling because so many sites exist where we can make little money without any investment but earning from those are very low so that i think it is really bad idea to spend daily some time on these sites to make some cents.

Yeah that renting referrals business at Neobux is complete bull, I somehow managed to get 20+ RRs from the clicking and tasking, but couldn't get any more than that since all the money I earned through RR I had to pay back for extending them, so in the end I just gave up. Waist of time like I said.
Already made those too i renting many times i have 50 refferal but never made a profit my referrals looks like my earnings are cash backs or sometimes lose.. better to don't expect in PTC better to gamble your money to have some fun..
