If you are looking for ways to earn online, there’s a site called HideoutTV that promises to pay you just for watching videos. It sounds very easy and appealing, right?
But is HideoutTV legit though? Or is it just a scam?
Let me answer this question right away so we can discuss other important aspects. Yes, HideoutTV is a legit Get-Paid-To (GPT) site that will pay you for watching videos (you will see payment proof later in this review).
But is it worth joining? Well, that is an entirely different matter. And to answer that question, we have to consider a couple of things first.
This HideoutTV review will show you exactly how it works and what you can expect so you can find out if this is a site for you or not.
What is HideoutTV and what does it offer?
HideoutTV is a GPT site that deals specifically with videos. In other words, you will be paid to watch videos on the site.
It’s a bit different from most of the other GPT sites you will encounter and I will explain later why.
Now, to figure out if it is worth joining, we have to find out if it has good earning potential or not. And to do that, we have to take a closer look at the earning opportunities it offers.
Option 1 – Watching videos
As you already know, you will be able to earn rewards on this site by watching videos.
When you become a member of this site, you can log in to their site or app (yes, they have an app and I will talk about it later) and watch videos.
As you can see in the photo above, there are plenty of videos to watch. A lot of these videos are also entertaining to watch. All you have to do is pick a video to watch and click it to earn rewards. But there is something you need to remember.
First of all, you need to be logged in to earn. You can start watching the videos without logging in but will then not earn, so you need to remember this.
Also, you actually don’t get rewarded by watching videos. Instead, you will be rewarded by watching the ads that will be played before the video, during the videos, and in between the videos (refer to the photo below).
The ads that will be played before videos will be determined by your location.
It’s important to note that there will be times when there won’t be any ads shown.
That means there aren’t any active campaigns running for your location. So, no matter how many times you watch a video, if there isn’t any ad showing, you won’t earn anything.
That’s why if you really just want to earn and if there aren’t any ads loading before, during, or after the videos, you better skip watching and wait until later or try again another day.
So, to recap, in order for you to earn a reward by watching a video, there have to be ads playing and you have to finish watching the video.
If you can’t earn by watching videos in a day, there’s a consolation you will get, which I will talk about next.
Option 2 – Hideout TV promo code
As mentioned, if there aren’t any ads that will allow you to earn by watching videos, you will still be able to earn rewards, albeit it’s just a small amount.
HideoutTV will give out a reward you can claim every day.
Every day, you are entitled to a free reward you can claim by clicking on the Reward button found below any video (refer to the photo above). Just click that button and you will see a daily promo code you can redeem.
To redeem the code, you simply have to click the Add button and it will then add a small number of points to your HideoutTV balance.
To be honest, it’s really not that much but it is better than nothing. At least, you are guaranteed to earn points every day by just logging in.
So, during your first log-in of the day to the site, I suggest you make it a habit to claim it right away so you won’t forget it.
Option 3 – Hideout TV giveaways/sweepstakes
One of the newer options on HideoutTV is its giveaways and sweepstakes.
They have a section where you can go and register for this for free.
You can find new options here monthly and be lucky to win some extra points without much effort.
Just make sure to rad the exact conditions for each giveaway before registering so you know what you are saying yes to, as you in some cases might have to agree to receive further promotions/ads to get a chance to win.
How do you get paid?
You will earn points when you watch videos from this site. But here’s where it becomes a bit more interesting and also a bit tricky so you need to know how this works.
The points you’ve earned on HideoutTV can be exchanged for a prepaid Visa card. However, this option does not seem to be available in all countries.
So, if you can’t see this option on the reward list, then it’s not available in your region. If it is, the minimum amount you can redeem is $5 and the maximum will be $1000.
Each amount will require a certain number of points. To set the amount you want to redeem, just move the slider to the amount you want. It will then show you how many points you will need to redeem it.
You will then receive an email that will ask you to choose between a virtual or physical card. If you choose a virtual card, it will be emailed to you immediately. If you choose a physical card, it will be sent via mail (shipping and handling fee of $3.00 to be deducted from card balance).
The funds in the prepaid Visa card must be accessed within 4 months from the date it is issued. Once the card is redeemed, you will have 7 months to use the funds. So keep that in mind when redeeming a prepaid Visa card.
However, you also have another payment option and this is available in all the countries where HideoutTV is available (more about which countries these are later).
You can transfer the points you’ve earned on HideoutTV to any partner site. You just have to link your account to that partner site (refer to the photo below).
You can link your account to many different partner sites and they are usually GPT sites – but you can, of course, only transfer points to one partner site every time.
When you do it that way, what happens is, that the points you’ve earned on HideoutTV will be converted into the equivalent number of points of the site you want to transfer it to.
The conversion rate will vary depending on the site you transfer it to. Some sites have higher conversion rates than others. So you need to look into this to find out which sites will allow you to make the most out of the points you’ve earned on HideoutTV.
You can also check out this list of the best sites to earn by watching videos that will show you where to get the most out of your time.
Going the second route is definitely a bit more complicated than just redeeming prepaid Visa cards.
Now, if you want a much simpler reward redemption process, I suggest you check out the top sites that pay via PayPal instead.
How much money can you make?
If you were hoping to earn a significant amount from this site, then you will really be disappointed.
This site doesn’t pay that well. In fact, they even mention it on their support page. If you are purely looking for a way to earn cash, this isn’t the right site for you.
The rewards you will get for watching one video will be less than $0.1.In fact, when I tested it, I had to watch around 15-20 videos (including a lot of ads) to earn points worth $0.15.
So, you won’t be able to earn a decent amount without spending a lot of time on it.
The real value that this site offers is that it will allow you to earn a small amount and have fun at the same time.
Because as I’ve mentioned earlier, the videos you can watch on this site will definitely be fun and interesting if you just choose a video category that fits you.
Can you use it on mobile?
As mentioned earlier in this review, HideoutTV has an app you can download so you can just watch videos on your mobile device.
In fact, if you go to the website Hideout.tv, they promote the app more than the browser version of their platform.
If you look at the homepage, you will clearly see the download links for their app. But you can also see a small link you can click on that will take you to a different URL.
This will take you to Hideout.co and this will be the web version of their platform.
So, you do have the choice to watch videos on your mobile device or your laptop or desktop. This makes it a very versatile platform.
As for their app, it is available on the Amazon app store and Google Play.
So, if you are using an iPhone or an iPad, you will have to use the web version of their platform. Also, the Hideout TV app currently does not seem to be available in all countries so in some countries you have to stick to the web version.
Fortunately, their site is mobile-friendly, which will make it easier to use.

Can you get support?
The one thing I like about this site is how they handle their support. You will be able to find most of the answers you are looking for if you check out their Support Center.
As you can see in the photo above, they have a well-organized support center. You will be able to search for frequently asked questions easily. It’s also very comprehensive and each topic is explained in detail.
If I were to name a perfect example of a good support center, theirs would definitely be on the top of my list.
Plus, if you can’t find the answers you are looking for, you will be able to create a support ticket and submit your inquiry.
You will also be able to track the status of all your inquiries and you can view resolved ones just in case the need arises.
Final Verdict
HideoutTV is a legit GPT site that will reward you for watching videos. It has a couple of good features but it also has certain limitations that are hard to ignore.
So, let me end this review with a summary of its pros and cons to help you decide if this site is worth your time or not.
Pros:
- Has a user-friendly site and app
- Well-organized and comprehensive support center
- Has a lot of fun and interesting videos you can watch
Cons:
- Limited earning opportunities offered
- Very low rewards
- No guarantee ads will be available (which means you cannot always earn)
If you are just looking to watch interesting and fun videos to earn rewards, this site is definitely an option. But if you are really looking for good ways to earn extra cash, then you are better off joining other sites. The main drawback of HideoutTV, in my opinion, is the low rewards they offer.
It will practically take you thousands of hours just to earn a decent amount. So, it’s not the most efficient way to earn online. But as I’ve said, it can certainly be fun and interesting.
The best thing I can suggest if you are really interested in this platform is to sign up to one of their partner sites because these sites offer better earning potential. So, you will be able to get the best of both worlds.
You can still watch fun and interesting videos, plus you can earn more rewards from other earning opportunities.
But also, you will be able to find plenty of sites that have way better earning potential than HideoutTV. Plus, you will be able to find a site you can join regardless of where you live.
