Has anyone ever used the G2A Goldmine program and had success like me? If so, I'd like to hear your stories.

Hello Workonline!
My G2A Referral Link: (Please use it! I appreciate any reflinks, I'll click back and buy games to join your team too!) https://www.g2a.com/r/zagg
Since I had some luck making money a few years ago, I've always kept chasing the same success I got at the age of fifteen. As a poor student, I don't really have a lot of money, nor time. Working online, preferably with the minimum amount of hours put in was always my goal.
A couple of months ago I gave up on trying to monetize websites and on a whim I signed up for the G2A goldmine program, and I've been making a decent amount of money so far. I put a couple of hours in each week while listening to my lectures, so I'd say that my results are easily surpassed if you put more work into it.
To start at the beginning: What is G2A?
G2A is an online site selling games at a cheap cost, while at the same time allowing a marketplace for third party sellers to sell theirs too. They do frequently carry games much cheaper than Steam or other vendors.
What is the Goldmine program?
The goldmine program is a way for you to make money on each game sold through your own promotion. You get paid to promote games, and if someone buys a game through one of your links, you get paid a commission. This commission varies from game to game, for example Call of Duty: Ghosts can earn you ~$20 per sale.
Simplified, the way it works is that you create a link yourself. You specify it's name, where on the site it takes you and then you promote it. For every click, the clicker gets a cookie that marks them as "yours". So even if they don't buy a game from the link you sent them, but instead go on G2A later, up to two years from now, you can still get paid for the purchase.
So for example I could choose to promote the "Call of Duty: Ghosts" game, and I create a link that lands you at the games purchase page. I then promote this through any means I can come up with. The key of the game is being either hardworking or smart. Better yet, both. Spamming might earn you some money, but you won't get anything big nor will you be well received.
The customizing of your own link is quite good, as you might see below.
Payouts are either bank transfer, skrill of paypal. You may request a payout from €10.

I wouldn't trust this site, guys. There has been a fair amount of controversy after looking online. Ashley, I'd suggest deleting this thread.

I've heard good and bad things about G2A. I won't remove the thread but I will caution people against using it unless they're careful and take appropriate cautions.

My advice: Don't use it if you'd be upset if your money went missing. So far as I've heard, you're likely to get it... But not by any means guaranteed. If it's like $1 or something, go for it.
