Hey, I’m George — I’ve been testing money-making apps in South Africa for a while now, and if you’ve ever Googled how to earn money online by watching videos, then you’re in the right place.

I’ve tried a bunch of sites that promise easy cash for just watching content — some work, most don’t. But I have some awesome news!

💡 New Feature: Watch Videos and Earn Points in Points Castle

The app I’ve been using (and honestly loving) is Points Castle — and they’ve just launched a new feature that lets you watch short video ads and earn points instantly.

Here’s how it works:

• Open the Points Castle app
• Go to the “Games” section
• At the top of the page you'll see a chest, click this
• Watch a short video (about 20–30 seconds)
• Earn 5 points per ad — no catch

You can rack up points daily and redeem them for OTT, 1Voucher, or airtime once you’ve built up enough.

I’ve personally used it in testing to top up my phone and even grab a few Betway vouchers without spending a cent.

💸 So, Can You Really Earn Money Watching Videos Online?

Yes — if you’re using the right platform.

If you want to watch videos and earn money online in South Africa, stick to verified apps like Points Castle, where there’s zero sign-up cost, and you’re actually rewarded for your time.

You won’t get rich, but if you’re already on your phone watching TikToks or YouTube, why not earn a little back?
