In short. Godl.de is a German advertising network that has been online since 2008. You can earn from clicks, emails and videos, buy ads from €0.03 per 1,000 clicks, and even trade referrals on an internal marketplace. The platform does pay, and its payout log is public. But real money here comes from a team and from advertising, not clicks, and balance bonuses are clawed back when you withdraw.
Who runs it
Most paid-to-click sites hide their owners. Godl lists its company, owner and German trade register number in its Impressum.
| Item | Details |

| Operator | godl e.K., owner Rico Wegner |

Registration doesn’t guarantee payouts, but it gives you a clear party to hold to account under German law.
Godl in numbers
The platform publishes its own stats in the Mediadaten section. As of 14 October 2026:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Visitors per month | 84,735 |
| Deposits | 6,265 totalling €241,900 |
| Payouts to members | 5,436 totalling €152,426 |
| Ad orders | 113,271 totalling €104,191 |
| Money held in member balances | €109,563 |
The average payout works out at about €28. The site claims over 100,000 registered members, though usually only a few dozen are online at once.
Tour: the “Earn money” menu
The menu lists 21 ways to earn. Godl doesn’t publish per-action rates: they depend on what the advertiser paid and on your “Success” (Erfolg) score.
| Group | What’s inside | Rules worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Tasks | website visits, search queries and result clicks, paid emails, videos, banner views and clicks, offers, surveys, games | each site pays once per IP per day, max 3 clicks count at once, clicks from some countries aren’t paid |
| Activity bonuses | daily login, loyalty bonus (Treue-Bonus), deposit bonus (Guthaben-Bonus), click rally with prizes | bonuses are clawed back on withdrawal, see below |
| Team | commissions over 6 levels, Werbe-Bonus per referral, Team-Bonus challenges from your upline | commissions credit after 30 days, Werbe-Bonus on the 1st of the month |
| Referrals as assets | selling your referrals, “inheriting” deleted ones | inheritance comes from a level-1 partner whose account is deleted or who gives up their balance |
| Your own site | Werbeflächen: Godl ad slots on your website | each campaign pays at most once per hour per IP |
If you own a site or blog, the last option beats clicking: you paste an ad-slot HTML code and Godl advertisers buy the slot.
Tour: the “Book advertising” menu
Godl is an ad network first, and this is where it beats most PTC sites. You can launch a campaign on almost no budget.
| Format | Price from |
|---|---|
| Website visits | €0.03 per 1,000 clicks or €0.05 per month |
| Search entries | €0.001 per year |
| Emails to members | €0.002 per email |
| Video | €0.01 per 1,000 views or €0.01 per month |
| Banners (7 formats) | €0.01 per 1,000 views, €0.10 per 1,000 clicks, €0.01 per month |
| Offers (pay per action) | €0.001 per action |
| Ad slots on member sites | €0.001 per 1,000 views |
Prices exclude German VAT of 19%. The audience is members who click for rewards, so expect reach and sign-ups for similar projects, not buyers of expensive products.
Tour: the referral marketplace
Few PTC sites have this. In Affiliate-Handel you can:
- rent referrals for one month, no subscription, to see how teams and commissions work;
- buy them for good, so their activity earns you commissions and bonuses;
- sell your level-1 partners at their current value.
It even has exchange-style orders: limit buys, take-profit, trailing stops. Volume is small, though: on 14 October 2026 the order book held 14 buy orders for 176 referrals worth €53.25 in total, and one sell order.
Godl also hands out referrals: one per new ad campaign or new ad slot (once every 100 days), and 1 to 155 when you deposit €10 to €1,000. The platform states plainly that their activity isn’t guaranteed.
Balance bonuses: the catch
This is the most important thing to know before you start.
| Bonus | Conditions per the platform |
|---|---|
| Treue-Bonus | up to 0.2% of your balance per day; log in at least every 3 days, keep €1+, no withdrawal for 30 days |
| Guthaben-Bonus | +0.1% for each month with a deposit over 24 months, +0.1% on the average deposit, +0.6% for bank deposits |
The terms (AGB, section 6.21) say that when you request a payout or close your account, loyalty and deposit bonuses are cancelled. You keep only an amount equal to the ads you bought in that period, plus €1. Section 6.11 adds that balances earn no interest.
In plain words: 0.2% a day is a discount on future advertising, not an investment return. Depositing to collect the bonus and then cash out makes no sense.
Withdrawals: from €1, with fees
| Method | Up to €100 | Over €100 |
|---|---|---|
| Bank account (SEPA) | €0.20 + 5% | €0.20 + 10% |
| PayPal | €0.39 + 5% | €0.39 + 10% |
| Express payout | €10 + 1% | €10 + 1% |
Bank payouts are free if you meet one of four conditions: your ad spend exceeds all past payouts; you only deposited by bank over the last 5 years; you made no payouts in the last 5 years; or your Success score is at least 60%.
Deposits work by bank, PayPal (from €10), crypto via CoinPayments or WebMoney.
What the payout log shows. The log is public and goes back to at least 2023. Payouts go out in batches on set days. Since late January 2026 it shows almost no payouts above €100, apart from one €250 express payout in July. One Trustpilot reviewer wrote in January 2026 that the maximum payout was cut from €500 to €100, with at most three payouts a month. We didn’t find that cap in the current AGB, so check the terms in your account before your first withdrawal.
Rules to read in advance
- You count as a business. Under the AGB a member is an entrepreneur, not a consumer, so consumer withdrawal rights don’t apply. Declare the income under your own country’s tax rules.
- Closing your account is possible only one month after sign-up. The balance is paid by bank transfer only, after bonuses and a fee are deducted. Above €100 Godl may ask for ID and proof of business and pay in instalments.
- Penalties: €25 per extra support request (more than 3 on one topic in 7 days), €150 for forged documents, up to €2,500 for click fraud and €5,001 for spam or click bots.
- Terms change with 2 weeks’ notice. If you don’t object, the change counts as accepted.
Reviews
Godl scores 3.1 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 18 reviews, 2 of them in the last 12 months. Half are 5 stars and 28% are 1 star. Complaints focus on tighter payout rules and fees. The company has replied to half of the negative reviews.
What to expect
- Clicks pay cents and fractions of a cent. They teach you the system, they don’t pay the rent.
- A team is the only source that scales, but commissions come only from members who pay for ads.
- Advertising is Godl’s strength. If you have a site, channel or project, this is a cheap way to get first visits.
- Time is your main investment. Work out what you earn per hour and compare it with other options.
How to test it in one month
- Sign up and switch the interface to English (flag in the top right).
- Read the price list and the AGB.
- Set a fixed slot, for example 20 minutes on weeknights and an hour at weekends.
- Log in at least every 3 days and try different sections, from emails to the rally.
- If you own a site, create one ad slot and one cheap campaign.
- Note your time and balance once a week.
- After a month, divide earnings by hours and decide whether to stay and build a team.
- Keep the first withdrawal small to check how the money arrives.

Do I need to invest money? No. Deposits are only needed to buy ads or referrals.
Can I join from outside Europe? Yes, but payouts go to a European (SEPA) bank account or PayPal. Make sure you have one of them first.
How much can I earn? Pocket money from tasks. The larger sums in the payout log come from teams, advertising and referral sales.
When do team earnings arrive? Commissions credit after 30 days, Werbe-Bonus on the 1st of each month.
Verdict
Godl.de is one of the most transparent PTC sites around: a registered company, open prices, public stats and a public payout log. For click income it works as a training ground. As cheap advertising for your own site or project it is more interesting. If you try it, give it a month, measure income per hour, and never hold more on your balance than you are ready to spend on ads.
