🪙 Points → Real Cash
Brain Candy points convert to real money. The exchange rate adjusts based on platform revenue, but here's the current baseline:
1,000 points = $1.00 USD
Rate adjusts with platform growth · More users = higher rates
Example earnings for an active user:
| Casual scroller (30 min/day) | ~100 pts/day ≈ $3/month |
| Active user (1 hr/day, posts, plays) | ~500 pts/day ≈ $15/month |
| Creator (daily posts, community) | ~2000+ pts/day ≈ $60+/month |
| Top creator (viral content, subs) | ~10,000+ pts/day ≈ $300+/month |
These are estimates based on projected revenue at scale. Early users earn points now that will be worth more as the platform grows. Getting in early is an advantage.

❓ Frequently Asked
How is this different from YouTube/TikTok? ▼
YouTube keeps ~45% of ad revenue. TikTok keeps ~50%. Instagram pays creators $0 for views. Brain Candy keeps 4%. Plus we pay viewers too — not just creators. And our financials are completely public. No black box algorithms deciding who gets paid.
Is this a scam / too good to be true? ▼
Fair question. The math works because we're lean — our team is small, our tech stack is cheap, and we don't have a $2B office building to pay for. 4% of revenue covers our costs. The other 96% goes to the community. We publish our financials live so you can verify this yourself.
When can I actually cash out? ▼
Cashouts will be enabled once we hit our first revenue milestone. Your points are being tracked now and will be fully honored. We'll announce the exact date on the platform — our best estimate is within the first 90 days of launch.
Do I need to pay anything? ▼
No. Brain Candy is 100% free. No premium tier required to earn. No entry fees for games. No pay-to-play. Ever. We make money from advertisers, not from you.
What if I just scroll and never post? ▼
You still earn. 4% of all platform revenue goes to the viewer pool, distributed based on engagement (views, reactions, votes, game plays). You don't have to be a "creator" to make money here. Just use the platform.
How do I earn the most? ▼
The top earners will combine everything: post content that gets views, play games daily, maintain streaks, participate in conversations, refer friends. But even just scrolling every day with a streak going will earn steady passive income.
