Legit, but not worth your time
It pays you to play mobile games, but the rewards are very low and drop the longer you play.
On this page
The short answer
Cash Giraffe is legit. It paid me, and I show the payment proof in my video. It is a Get-Paid-To (GPT) app made by justDice that rewards you for playing featured mobile games.
But the earning potential is very low. You earn fewer gems the longer you play a game, and the deals that pay more are few and far between. In my opinion, Cash Giraffe is not worth your time.

- Offers payment via PayPal
- Very low payout threshold in most countries
- User-friendly app without spam ads
- Limited earning opportunities for a GPT app
- Low rewards
- Only available for Android devices
- No Help page, FAQ or contact form in the app
My experience with Cash Giraffe
I tested the app thoroughly, played the featured games, tried the deals and cashed out. This is what I did myself, and what I did not test.

Payment proof

Is Cash Giraffe legit and safe?
Yes, Cash Giraffe is legit, because you get paid to play. But that does not mean it is worth your time. Here is what you should know before you install it.
- Rewards drop the longer you play
You earn fewer gems the longer you keep playing a featured game. The system is designed to make you try out different games, because that is how the app earns.
- Earning gets slower after your first cashout
The joining bonus gets you to the threshold quickly. After your first payout, it takes longer and longer to reach the threshold, because the rewards are low.
- Payout options depend on your country
The gift cards and the threshold depend on the country you live in, and you earn in your country’s currency. Many readers write that PayPal is not offered to them, or that a cashout failed.
- Open games from “My Apps”
Always start a featured game from the “My Apps” section of Cash Giraffe, not from your phone’s menu. Otherwise, the app cannot track how long you play.
- Support is hard to reach
There is no Help page, FAQ or contact form in the app. The only way to reach support is by email.
My takeIn my opinion, Cash Giraffe isn’t worth your time. That’s because the earning potential of this app is very low. You will have to invest a lot of time to earn a decent amount from this app. You are better off investing your time in sites and apps that have a higher earning potential.
How you earn on Cash Giraffe
There are 2 ways to earn. Playing the featured games is the main one. Tap one to read more.
Playing the featured gamesGems per minute
When you log in to the app, you immediately see the mobile games you can play. Pick a game, download it from the Android app page, and it shows up under “My Apps” in Cash Giraffe.
When you first join, there might only be 1 or 2 games featured. As soon as you download one, more games become available.
Always open the game from the “My Apps” section, so Cash Giraffe can track how long you play. You earn a certain number of gems per minute. The longer you play the same game, the fewer gems you earn, so stop when the gems get small.
DealsMore, but rare
Deals are simple tasks, usually surveys or using other mobile apps. They pay significantly more than the games, but they are few and far between. If you get offered one, I recommend you complete it.
While I was testing, the only deals offered to me were paid surveys, and I did not qualify for any of them. The survey rewards are also quite low compared to the best survey apps, and you can often find the same deals on other platforms for higher rewards.
How much can you make?
It depends on how much time you are willing to spend in the app. But the app doesn’t pay that well. Because you earn fewer gems the longer you play a game, it takes quite some time to earn a decent amount.
At first, you reach the threshold quickly because of the joining bonus. After your first payout, it takes longer and longer, because the rewards are low.
That is why I would say the earning potential of Cash Giraffe is very low. If you like to earn by playing, see the best ways to earn money by playing games online.
Payout methods and minimum
| Method | Minimum | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PayPal | Around $0.20–$0.50 in most countries | Not offered in every country |
| Gift cards | Depends on your country | Which gift cards you get depends on your country |
You earn gems from all the earning opportunities and convert them to cash via PayPal or to a gift card. The threshold is very low, but after your first cashout it can take quite some patience to reach it again.
Overall, the payout system is relatively straightforward, and I like that it offers cash rewards. For more apps and sites with cash rewards, see the top sites that pay via PayPal.

Ok
At first I was collecting gems and cashing put with no issues. Then when I got to higher levels I’m the games to earn more gems I stopped getting gems. I have submitted tickets and it’s been a month and no responses or solutions. Don’t waste your time. I have even sent follow up emails. I sent screen shots in the ticket and only response I got was an auto generated ticket telling me to submit screen shots. Wasted so much time!
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Not worth it. Doesn’t allow PayPal extraction at all. Goes to captcha approves, then just blinks on PayPal login. Never connects. Goes back to captcha. It’s a scam!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing your opinion and experiences.
I have been trying to redeem my Amazon voucher for 8 days. Is there anyway you can please give instructions on how to redeem my vouchers.
I show in the video in the review above how to withdraw. If you have technical problems, you need to contact their support.
As far as I can see, cash giraffe pays out I’m coupons. Like 65 percent off Walmart or free trial on Amazon. Target is only like 30 percent off. I see no other payment options. I’ve been playing for 3 days
Thanks for sharing your experiences. As I explain in the review above, the payout options depends on the country you live in. But thanks for sharing how it id for you. Interesting to know that you can only get coupons as it is definitely not as great as many other methods.
I downloaded cast giraffe everything was working fine but when I try to redeem my points it does not give me an option to cash out with PayPal
The available payout methods can vary from country to country.
Perhaps it has changed but I found it to be a nasty scam. The surveys pay no attention to your answers and you just keep getting marketing calls. My phone is blowing up with scam messages saying an order is on its way (no order made) Camp Legune stuff, (I don’t know anyone that was ever there and told survey that). I’m starting to wonder if I need to change my phone number, or even SIM card to get the messages to stop.
Thanks for sharing your experiences. As you can see in the review above, I do not recommend the app. But it might not be the reason you are getting scam call though. There can be many reasons for that.
Giraffe Cash doesn’t work. It won’t connect to PayPal and it only rewards you, literally, with pennies.
Not worth the time, energy or effort.
Thanks for sharing your experiences and opinion.
Nice to ser its working for so many people for me olit is not. The very first redeem I did I never got. Webt bsck and forth with Jistdice and half the time they did not respon if they did there was nevet s solution just generic information. Now I can play for hours on end and my points never up thry stay the exact same. I have received a very low Google play card. Ready to delete. Unnecessary space
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Same thing happened to me
Yes its legit but i cant get intouch with customer support at all and when you enter your credit it lies and says it doesnt takes money but it just took 2.00 from me
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
It works for me, I see the app as a part-time. While working, I can just open the featured app and idle my phone for many hours while I’m at work. It’s not much, but little money is not bad while your phone is away.
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
I was trying to use my gems as Walmart card. But it tells me it sent it already, that I can use 65% off at the register, but I don’t know how to use it or where this 65% is. I don’t have a Walmart card.
You need to contact their support about this.
If I may ask Mr Mikael wich platform is better than cash giraffe?
And a legit one Because most of these apps are fake you spent a lot of time but no cash out
Please help with few if you can please
There are many better options. You can find a link to my top recommended options in the article above.
Hi Mikael. I see that you have had success contacting them through that email. I have over 800,000 gems saved up in cash giraffe which equals over 100 US dollars that I have been trying to cash in since June 9th and every time I try it says the human verification failed. I have emailed them at that email address you provided and another one I found over a dozen times and have yet to receive a response. I am livid because as far as I’m concerned this is fraud on their part. Any other suggestions? Thank you.
I have not tried to contact them myself, as I stopped using the app after testing it. As I explain in the review above, it is not worth it, in my opinion.
I’m wondering how to read how much your gift cards are worth I can’t find it anywhere only the # of gems not what their worth?
The exact value of points depends on your country, but you can see the value in the cashout section, as I show in the review above.
I tried to take a selfie but it tells me that verification is canceled. I need the money. Do they have a support group that I can contact. I am in South Africa.
I explain in the review above how you can contact their support.
But, as I also write in the review above, it is not a very effective way to earn compared to many other options. You can see the best free ways to earn extra money in South Africa here.
My cash giraffe wallet isn’t letting me claim my Amazon voucher
You need to contact their support about this.
This is my first time trying to cash out. I chose the Walmart card option. I clicked on the amount that was available to me, and it instructed me to take a selfie. When I attempted to do so, it said that there was an error. I checked to see if the app needed to be updated. I am in the U.S.
Any suggestions?
You need to contact their support about this. But, in general, if you live in the US, there are many better options to earn than Cash Giraffe. You can see a list of the best free ways to earn Walkmart gift cards here, for example.
I need to delete this app from my phone@ please help…
Then just delete it like you delete any other app.
Since I have a ton of time on my hands, I do invest a lot of it into cash giraffe and I do make quite a decent amount doing it so I’m pretty happy with it 🙂
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Hi everyone.
I am receiving payments from cash giraffe in paypal account but its not withdrawable. Why is it so. Has anyone had thevsane issue??
Sounds like an issue with your PayPal account. You need to check what reason PayPal gives you.
I got paid in euros and I can’t find the option to convert it to USD
If you got paid via PayPal, you can do it inside your PayPal account. You find find tutorials about this on their website. Also, it will happen automatically if you transfer them to your bank.
I can’t get customer service info from app Google said it was here but I don’t see it
I explain in the review above how you can get support.
I downloaded this because companies keep advertising it as the one gtp that actually pays. But there is nothing under the payout tab but coupons. I’m assuming they’re coupons. It will have a company name and a percentage, usually 10%. Not worth it really. There’s no PayPal. There’s no verify email. It says you can click on the voucher to see where you can use it but that just gives an error message you don’t have enough coin to request payout. They’re all 5k coins. This one will get uninstalled. I’ve checked out your list of gtp apps although surveys are a huge scam. I’ve never once qualified for one. What they do is wait until you have about 90% of the survey completed then boot you out. Why should they pay when you just gave them what they wanted for free?
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
As for survey sites, they are definitely a real way to earn. I have taken thousands of online surveys. But as I always say, how many surveys you will get depends a lot on the country you live in. In some countries you will just find very few or no surveys. But if you join the legit sites, they definitely pay.
Thanks for your review, you opened my eyes!! I hate to bother you with this, but I have a few questions & Cash Giraffe won’t get back to me & I’ve emailed MULTIPLE email addresses!!! I sure hope you have the answers!!!
Do you know how many Rewards you needed to cash out using Paypal?? I currently have 23,388 Rewards but the option to cash out using Paypal isn’t listed & doesn’t come up under Payouts!! All that comes up are SPECIAL OFFERS & I don’t want that, I want Paypal!!!
Also, do you know why all of your downloaded apps DO NOT come up under MY APPS??? Most of my apps ONLY came up under STATUS which is available after you go into EARN WITH APPS!!!
Last question!!! Do you know why none of the apps under MY APPS let you see the apps TASKS listing??? It just says you will receive Rewards after completing the next level/Task but you have no idea what that is!!!
Again, I’m sorry about bothering you with this but I would really appreciate your help!!! Thanks for everything & have a great day!!! Lauretta
I explain most details in the review above.
But as I also explain in the review above, I do not really recommend this app. And if you are not able to get a reply from their support that is just another reason to use alternatives instead.
After reading the fine print when downloading this app, it mentions they could have access to medical information from your apps. Is there any concern with this? If we have banking apps, hospital portals, even kindle, what kind of access are we giving permission too?
You need to ask their support about this. But if you do not feel safe about it, then do not use it. Also, it does not pay much anyways, as I explain in the review above.
A few weeks ago, it was the best app, very cool.. but now it has become very bad. Games do not appear in the main menu.. Even coin master disappeared suddenly.. Please clarify….
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I cannot say why that is. You need to contact their support about this.
I got a small amount of money but it was not American. How can I change it? It’s no use to me.
You will earn in the currency of the country you live in. You cannot change this.
got a bunch of 1.22 payouts in some foreign currency I can’t spend from my paypal. waste of time
Thanks for sharing your experiences.
Another scam can’t withdraw winnings
Thanks for your info. It saved me a lot of wasted time. Also, thanks for the list of better apps.
Glad it helped you.
I was getting small amounts sent to my Paypal account. Now when I go to payouts, Paypal isn’t there anymore. Just online stores I never shop at ?
You need to contact their support about this.
I have the same thing. No paypal
So far they aren’t even tracking my time properly played over 2hrs and they show 15 min just another bullshit scam
It is definitely not worth it, in my opinion, as I explain in the review above.
