We reserve the right to make modifications to this schedule. Any such modifications will be announced on the forum.

How does it work?
You view websites in 30 second sessions via the "Surf Ads" page. Once the 30 seconds is up, you'll either get a green tick sign or a red 'X'. The green tick sign means you've earned $0.01 and as premium member $0.0125 for the visit and the 'X' means you have not earned money for the visit. You'll get red X's when you have more than one website from the "Surf Ads" page open. When this happens, you get no credit.

NOTE: Inactive accounts are deleted after 2 weeks (14 days). Your account count as inactive if you have not clicked at least 1 ads per 2 weeks. Having referrals does NOT count as being active. You cannot click 2 ads and think it will count for a whole month, it won't. All inactive accounts are permantly deleted, earnings lost and no refunds of purchased products.

Can other people in my household join?
They must have a valid unique e-mail address and valid unique Alertpay address/account to register with our program. As far as cheating goes, our software detects users who create fictitious accounts and use the same computer so if someone else in your household wants to join and will legitimately use their account; you shouldn't be flagged for abuse. You may not share computer, or IP with any other members and you may not use proxy servers.

What residents can join UrOnlineBux?
We accept user from all countries that are in the list on the registration page. Also see our Terms of Service.

MY country is not in the list when registering,m can I sign up with another country?
No, we do not accept registering any false information. Your country is not in the list simply because we do not accept users from that country.

Can I have more than one account?
No. There is no need to maintain more than one account. If you've lost your login information, you can request to have it sent to your e-mail address. If you are caught with more then one account open (we have a very strict auditing process before payments are sent) your account(s) will be terminated, your ip address(es) will be banned and you will not receive any earnings.

My network, school or ISP all use the same or randomly used IP addresses, can I join?
Yes if you are 100% sure no one else with a UrOnlineBux account will use the same computer and IP you can do that. The same general rule applies from the previous question.

Can I use another PC to log into my account?
Yes if you are 100% sure no one else with a UrOnlineBux account will use the same computer or IP you can do that. If you use a computer at an internet café, library etc chances are someone else will log into UrOnlineBux from the same computer and that means both accounts will be banned. We suggest to stay away from public computers when logged into UOBux.

How much money can I make?
We pay you $0.01 for each website you visit and $0.01 for each website your referrals visit. As premium member $0.0125 for each website you visit and $0.0125 for each website your referrals visit. There is no limit in the amount of websites you visit or referrals that you obtain. Your earning possibilities are virtually endless.

How do I refer others?
Use your unique referral code found within the user area "My Stats".

How do I buy referrals?
When they buy-botton on each purchase page is visible then it means that there are referral packs available to buy. Click the payment/buy button to place the order and nother pay-button will appear. This one takes you to the AlertPay website and you can now pay for the order.
Do not press the buy-buttons if you do not intend to make a purchase or we will delete your account for spamming the system.

If there are no buy button visible that means we don't have any referral packs to sell at the moment.  More packs will be available when more unreferred members sign up.

How can I cancel my account?
Inactive accounts are automatically cancelled after certain time.

Can I have my earnings transferred to someone elses accout?
No we will not transfer you earnings to another account. If you need to send someone money go to a bank.

I need some changes done to my account (create new account and delete old one, change upline etc, cancel payouts etc) can you help me?
Yes we can help you with that but we charge and administrations fee of $10 up to $50 depending on what you want to be done to your account. The money is to be paid in advance to our AlertPay account: support@uronlinebiz.com.

When will there be more ads for free members?
When more people advertise.

Why I have to click twice to see the OK-tick?
Check your antivirus, antispyware/adware programs, your browser settings for cookies and java script acceptance. If this doesn't work, try cleaning your cache or reboot your computer.

Why I have not received answer to my request?
You have to make sure you put our email adresses in your safe list: info@uronlinebux.com and support@uronlinebux.com. We get hundreds of emails bouncing back every day and we only do one attempt to send them. If you haven added us to the safe list you might never get our answer.

I can't see any ads!
If you see no ad links on the "Surf Ads" page but you DO see stats on the right hand side then you need to disable all antivirus and antispyware/adware programs. If this doesn't work, try cleaning your cache, temp files, cookies, etc. If you're still having problems after all of that, try changing or updating your browser.

My stats aren't updating!
This is either because your browser is saving the page in it's cache or you're not waiting for the dollar sign to appear after the timer is complete. Try cleaning your cache, temp files, cookies, etc. If you're still having problems after all of that, try changing or updating your browser.

I keep getting "Invalid verification code entered." when I try to register or login!
First, make sure you are correctly typing in the verification code. If you are typing in the correct code and still having problems then it's something to do with your browser caching the previously used session image. Try cleaning your cache, temp files, cookies, etc. If you're still having problems after all of that, try changing or updating your browser.

How often are the statistics updated?
Stats are normally updated immediately.

What happens if I click a buy-button for referrals or upgrades and do not make a purchase?
Your account will be suspended!

I have bought referrals and some of them are inactive, will you replace them?
Each user is repsonsible for checking if their purchased referrals are active or not. We do NOT check for this randomly.
We will replace inactive referrals for those who have bought the 500 referral pack earliest 2 weeks after purchase at latest 2 months after purchase. If the referrals are still inactive after 2 weeks (14 days) send us a specified list with username and how many clicks the user has and we will check their logs and replace them if they have not clicked any ads in 2 weeks. 3 months after purchase we will not replace referrals if they become inactive. We will replace inactive referrals maximum 2 times per package.
Note: If you send a list with referrals that are active there will be a penalty fee of $1 per referral. Inactive referrals are those who has clicked ZERO times during a 2 week peeriod, UNLESS they are in vacation mode.
If you try and get referrals replaced that you have NOT purchased from us it is considered fraudulent activity and we will charge a penalty fee of $1 per referral. If it is an obvious fraud attempt (repeatedly trying to get referrals replaced that you have not purchased) your account will be closed, all earnings lost and no refunds for purchased services.
We keep records of all transactions and what referrals each member buy from us. We also check log files to see if the referrals really are inactive or not.
As from April 22nd we can provide users that have bought referrals with a list of which referrals they bought from us for an administrative cost of $15 (has to be paid in advance).

I have purchased referrals and see the same referral name multiple times?
You can be assigned several levels with a referral. For example if you buy 20 referrals we can assign you 4 levels on 5 referrals. This mean you earn 4 times each time the referral click an advert. 4 x 5 = 20
This way it is easier for you to keep track of who is active and also easier for us to replace inactive referrals.

The date is wrong when requesting Payout, it says 1969?
Yes it is an old bug. It has been solved and new paymnet requests should work fine We have logs of the payout requests with the correct date and the faulty date will not affect when you get paid.

How do I get paid?
You have to click at least 200 ads before you get paid the first time. After that you have to click 50 ads per month minimum. If you have at least $10.00 accumulated, you can click on your account balance within your stats area and it will submit your request. Currently, we only make payments via Alertpay. UrOnlineBux may at any time require of the user to upload scanned of photographed pictures of valid photo ID and a recent utility bill to prove user identity and adress. If the user do not do so payments will not be processed and the account will be terminated without refunds for purchased services. The pictures of photo ID and utility bill has to be of good quality and no larger than 200 kb per picture. The pictures are to uploaded via UrOnlineBux ticket system and the user must provide username.

When do I get paid?
You can request for payment once you're account balance is at least $10.00. Your payment will be processed and issued via Alertpay within 60 business days for standard members and 15 buisness days for premium members. You can only request one payment at the time.

It is past payday and I have not recieved my money?
We send out emails to people requesting photo ID and utility bill but in many cases the emails bounce or are blocked by spam filters. If you have not recieved your payment it is because we are waiting for the documents requested. Send them via the ticket system.

What is Alertpay?
Alertpay is the payment processing solution that we use to pay members. Your Alertpay address is the e-mail address you use to register with Alertpay. You can get a free Alertpay account at http://Alertpay.com.

Why did I get paid less then what I was owed?
If you have a business account with Alertpay, they charge a 2.9% transfer fee plus an additional $0.30 base fee when you receive funds.

Buying mutilple packs of referrals - HOW TO:

If you are going to purchase more than one pack of referrals you have to press the AlertPay button one time for each referral package you want to buy. If you do not do this we will only get one order from you but payment for multiple packages. Should this happen we will simply refund you and cancel your order. We will NOT process referrals manually because we simply don't have time for that.
Order your referral packages FIRST and THEN pay for them. It has to be done in this order or we will cancel your order and refund you.

Clicking a Anti Cheat Link
On the surf page there are anti cheat links every now and then. The anti cheat link is easy to reconize as it says ANTI CHEAT LINK or something similar. If you click the anti cheat link your account will be terminated permanently. This goes even if you are not logged in. Your IP is registered and any IP that has visited the anti cheat page will be removed from our system= accounts deleted!
In some very exceptional cases the account can be restored after the user has paid a penalty fee of $20 (as this takes time that we we really don't have and that we rather spend on members who READ what links they click on).

Advertiser FAQ

How does the advertising work?
When you order an advertising package, we first approve the site and then insert it on the "Surf Ads" page. All new ad entries appear at the top of the list. We only charge you for unique visits that our members generate. All outside visits are free. For instance, you may order 1,000 visits but you may receive 1,300 or more visits because of non-members checking out the "Surf Ads" page. You're essentially getting more for your money.

Are my visits guaranteed?
Yes. We guarantee that you will receive at least the amount of traffic that you ordered.

Is each visit unique from the last?
Each visit is unique on a scale of 24 hours. Meaning, you will only be charged for the same visitor once per 24 hours. On the "Surf Ads" page, the "Member Visits" counts the unique visits from members and the "Outside Visits" counts each page hit from non-members.

Are there any restrictions?
Your ad cannot promote adult content or illegal activity. We also do not accept sites that use frame breakers.

Why did my ad end so quickly?

Smaller purchases like the 100 and 500 visit ads usually expire within 2-5 minutes. Sometimes even sooner. generally has 1,000-5,000 users online at a time.

How do you calculate the prices?
Simple. We charge $1.99 per 100 unique member visits. That price includes a 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fee to cover the Alertpay costs.

Why I have not received my Ad status email?
You need to make sure that mail from the domain is not being blocked, Try adding "mail@uronlinebux.com" to your address book.
