Frequently asked questions

Create a free account, shorten any link and share it. When someone opens your short link, they confirm they’re human, wait a short countdown (currently 10 seconds) on a page that shows ads, and then go to your destination. You earn for every valid view. The amount depends on the visitor’s country — see the payout rates.

A view counts when a real person completes both steps: the “I’m not a robot” check and the full countdown, then continues to your link. The first view per visitor IP address per publisher every 24 hours earns the full rate. A few repeat views from the same visitor that day still earn, at a reduced rate; after that, repeat visits show up in your stats but don’t earn.

Views don’t earn when they come from bots or crawlers, from VPNs, proxies or datacenter networks, from the same IP too many times in 24 hours, or from you opening your own links. A view also won’t count if the visitor’s IP changes midway through or the captcha can’t be confirmed. These rules protect advertisers — and that’s what keeps the payout rates possible.

No. Timers and steps are checked by our server, each page has a browser check that bypass scripts can’t pass, and links can’t be opened through VPNs, proxies or server networks. Visitors who open a huge number of links in a short time are slowed down. Your visitors simply turn their VPN off and continue.

It depends on how many valid views your links get and where your visitors are from — views from countries that advertisers pay more for earn more. Your dashboard shows an estimate during the day and the final amount once the day is finalized, usually the next day. The payout rates page shows recent estimates per country. We can’t promise a specific income: it follows what advertisers actually pay.

Share your referral link from the Referral program page of your dashboard. There’s no limit on how many people you invite. You get a bonus of 5% on top of what they earn from their links. Vylo pays the bonus — it never reduces your friends’ earnings.

You can request a withdrawal once your balance reaches $5.00.

Right now: PayPal from $5.00, USDT (TRC20) from $10.00. Add your payout details in Settings, then request a withdrawal from the Withdraw page.

Every withdrawal is reviewed by hand before it’s sent, which usually takes a few days. You can follow the status (pending, approved, paid) on the Withdraw page. If we need more time to check traffic quality, the request stays pending until the review is done.

Yes. If we find invalid traffic — bots, paid or forced clicks, self-clicks or VPN farms — we can hold or remove the earnings from it, and serious or repeated abuse leads to a ban. Normal sharing on social media, forums, groups and websites is exactly what Vylo is for.

No phishing, scams, malware or fake downloads, no illegal content, no content that sexualises minors, and no links that infringe copyright. New links are checked against public phishing and malware lists, and links that break the rules are removed. See the Terms of Service for the full list.

Use the report form or the “Report this link” link at the bottom of any Vylo link page. We review every report. Copyright owners can also read our DMCA policy.

Yes. Vylo has an AdLinkFly-compatible API, so Telegram bots and mass-shrinker tools that support those shorteners work with Vylo. Set the domain to vylo.cc and use the API token from your dashboard. See the developer docs.

Yes. Creating an account and shortening links costs nothing. We make money from the ads on the link pages and share part of it with you.

Please don’t. One account per person keeps payouts and referrals fair. Duplicate accounts used to farm referrals or get around limits may be closed.
