Not all offerwall offers are created equal. A video-reward offer might pay a few cents, while a credit-card or verification-style offer can pay several dollars per completed action. PIN submit offers sit at the top of that range — and they are one of the least understood offer types in mobile app monetization.
If your app already runs an offerwall, PIN submit offers can materially lift ARPDAU with the same users you already have. This guide explains exactly what they are, how the flow works, what they pay, and how to enable them safely through platforms like Perkox.
What Is a PIN Submit Offer?
A PIN submit offer is a CPA-style offer in which the user verifies a real action by entering a one-time PIN code — usually delivered by SMS to their phone. Typical examples include:
- Registering for a service (telecom plans, streaming trials, finance apps) and confirming the registration with the PIN code sent to the phone number used.
- Completing a limited-time trial or subscription that requires a phone-based verification step.
- Submitting a one-time code to activate a bonus, a package, or an account promotion inside the advertiser’s app or website.
The PIN is the proof. The advertiser pays the network — and therefore the publisher — only when the verification code is received and matched. Because the action is verified end-to-end, PIN submit offers command some of the highest payouts in the industry per completed user.
How a PIN Submit Offer Works
From the user’s perspective, a PIN submit offer is a two-minute task. Behind the scenes, it is a carefully sequenced verification flow:
- Discovery: the user opens your offerwall, picks the offer, and lands on the advertiser’s page or app store listing.
- Action: the user completes the required step — for example, registering for a mobile subscription or starting a trial.
- Verification: the advertiser sends a one-time PIN by SMS or push notification to the user’s phone.
- Submission: the user enters the PIN in the app or on the landing page.
- Postback: the advertiser fires a server-to-server postback with the event (usually a “signup” or “activated” conversion) to the offerwall platform.
- Reward: the user gets the in-game currency or reward, and the publisher gets credited for the payout.
Because the conversion is confirmed by a code rather than a click, PIN submit offers convert fewer users but pay far more per conversion. That trade-off is what makes them an excellent complement to mass-market CPI and survey offers.
What Do PIN Submit Offers Pay?
Payouts depend on the offers available in your geo, but the pattern is consistent across networks:
- CPI offers: typically $0.10–$0.60 per install, hundreds of available offers.
- PIN submit / verification offers: typically $0.50–$3.00 per completed action in Tier-1 geos, with a smaller offer pool.
- Revenue impact: a single PIN submit conversion can equal 5–15 rewarded video views in revenue, which is why a handful of verified users can move a monetization dashboard noticeably.
As always, geography drives the numbers. United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia have the deepest verification offer inventory; Tier-2 and Tier-3 geos see fewer offers and lower payouts. Position the offer type as a Tier-1 revenue lever rather than a universal one.
Why PIN Submit Offers Are Valuable for Publishers
For a mobile app or game, the benefits go beyond single-offer payouts:
- Higher ARPDAU per engaged user: one conversion pays like a week of banner impressions.
- More revenue from the 95% who never buy: verification offers monetize non-spenders without touching your IAP funnel.
- Direct advertisers: PIN-type inventory often comes from top-tier telecom, finance, and streaming brands, which keeps the quality of the offer pool high.
- No extra work: the offers drop into your existing offerwall placement — same SDK, same reward flow, no new integration.
Risks — and How to Enable PIN Submit Offers Safely
High payouts attract attention, so responsible publishers manage three things:
- Transparency: the offerwall entry must make clear that a phone number and verification code are required. Users who feel tricked leave bad reviews and churn.
- Fraud control: use a platform that performs server-side reward validation. PIN submit offers are a favorite target for automated fraud, and reward-granting should only ever happen after the verified postback — never client-side.
- Compliance: respect regional rules around subscriptions and consent (GDPR, CCPA, app store policies). Make sure the advertiser’s trial and pricing terms are visible before the user commits.
Platforms like Perkox screen demand sources and route verification inventory through publishers that maintain clean user experiences — which is why a structured offerwall layer beats stitching together direct deals one by one.
PIN Submit vs. CC Submit vs. Sweepstakes Offers
Pin submit offers are often confused with two neighbors:
- CC submit: the user enters a credit card to start a paid or trial service. Highest payout, highest friction, and the strictest compliance requirements.
- Sweepstakes: the user enters for a chance to win. Low payout per user, but very high completion rates.
- PIN submit: the middle ground — verified (a real phone and a real code), but lower friction than a card. Best balance of payout and conversion for most audiences.

How to Enable PIN Submit Offers with Perkox
There is no separate PIN submit SDK. The offers are part of the demand mix that your existing Perkox integration already receives:
- Integrate the Android SDK (or iOS / Unity / React Native / Flutter / web version) once.
- Turn on the verification offer categories in the Perkox dashboard together with CPI and survey offers.
- Set a reward tier for verification offers proportional to their payout, so users see a fair deal.
- Monitor conversion and abandonment by geo in the dashboard, and focus your rewarded placements on the countries where verification inventory converts.
Because demand sources rotate constantly, the mix of PIN submit offers available in your geo changes weekly — recheck the category periodically and let real conversion data, not assumptions, decide where you push users.
What is a PIN submit offer?
A PIN submit offer is a CPA offer where the user completes an action (like registering for a service or starting a trial) and verifies it by entering a one-time PIN code sent to their phone. The code confirms the conversion, which is why these offers pay more than standard installs.
How much do PIN submit offers pay?
In Tier-1 geos, PIN submit offers typically pay $0.50–$3.00 per completed action, compared with $0.10–$0.60 for a standard CPI offer. Payout depends on the advertiser, the geo, and the offer pool your platform has negotiated.
Are PIN submit offers safe for my users?
They are safe when the offer is transparent: users should know they are registering for a real service and that a verification code is required. Use a platform with server-side reward validation so rewards are granted only after the verified postback, and avoid inventory that hides terms.
Do PIN submit offers hurt my retention?
No more than any other reward monetization — and often less, because the user actively opts in. Keep the placement optional, cap daily attempts, and pair the offer with a reward that feels fair for the effort. Users who earn and stay are the point.
