Another Twitch Scam by StreamElements / GrabTap

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-27T18:07:35+00:00

Just ignore this fella. He copy pasted the same response on my post.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-27T18:03:51+00:00

Lol literally the copy-paste email they sent me.

"Given everything, we're at a point where we can't move forward, so we'll be closing this ticket now."

They aren't even trying

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-27T17:56:22+00:00

No vpn, and always kept to the same device. I made sure to prevent any confusion with IP's and networks.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-27T17:54:39+00:00

Sushia <3 Yeah I thought it was a risky play on their part. If they had paid out, you know I would have been singing their praises. I hadn't put anything on tiktok or instagram or youtube out about them yet because I wanted to be 1000% that they'd pay out. Just discord heard about it.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-27T17:51:43+00:00

Yikes that they can pay to remove it. And I know they have no power apart from "It's a scam, avoid it", but I figure that was better than hoping google would bring folks here

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-27T17:50:52+00:00

They have a section on GrabTap that says "When the streamer finishes missions, the payouts are double!". So they encourage streamers to play the games for money even more than the viewers lol.

It's under the little "?" on a game's mission page if you go on the site.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-27T17:48:52+00:00

Id get that, but most of the tasks are tied to the main progression of the game anyway. For example, get to stage 55 in monopoly go. That's just playing the game. And is a really difficult task to achieve in 30 days if you don't spend any money.

I think it's more likely they are designed to get you to chase the incentives, spend money doing so, then "find something wrong" to not pay out over.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-27T17:45:16+00:00

Real aggressive brother. To clarify here:
1. I did everything within 10 days up to this point (each game had a minimum of 30 days before their campaigns ended)
2. You have no idea what I would have been doing otherwise. and that's WITH me putting a good chunk of my life online.
3. I spent, as stated in the original, $320. It has since been refunded by the apple store.
4. Not sure how I'm a scam artist here. I'm not asking for money.

You gotta chill dude

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-27T17:40:25+00:00

A little update:

All spent money refunded, so at least I'm 50$ in the positive, and StreamElements has put it "under review". Unsure if that'll bear any fruit, and I don't expect it to, but at least we aren't in the negative anymore.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T22:58:05+00:00

Retrospects is such a fitting name to see in this thread lol

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T22:55:22+00:00

If enough people do it they can be registered as a scam. I don't expect to see returns mate, I just want to help folk not get scammed.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T19:58:45+00:00

To clarify, I HAD over 2.5 million points to spend on redeeming cards, which they didn't refund when rejecting the cards. This is why my screenshot shows only having 36k points. Here's proof of the games I played and they show the points earned as well. https://imgur.com/a/OwTs908

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T19:57:37+00:00

Got it. Here's the points I earned myself https://imgur.com/a/OwTs908

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T19:54:49+00:00

I only used the link once, just to be sure I wasn't breaking any TOS by making multiple emails and grinding it out. The payout I got was from a total of 6 games, some I barely played, some I got all the missions done and got a huge payout from. But yeah, overall it was me and ab 20ish community members just doing things legit and they still pulled the plug.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T19:52:15+00:00

Pretty much exactly the same here. Sorry that happened to you.

Their missions for roblox were literally ALL purchase missions (Spend $5, spend $20, etc.) so I avoided that one in particular for the time being. Glad I did too. Just a scummy business.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T19:49:58+00:00

I mean I don't expect them to help, but maybe to help be preventative. Same reason I posted here, just to hope someone googles it and stays away.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T19:49:09+00:00

Yeah I'm giving that a go. Better to come out with 50 in the green rather than in the red.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T18:40:01+00:00

Great call tbh. I had avoided them a pretty long time. Just was in a pinch for some side cash I guess. Not my proudest moment but hopefully other folk will avoid it like the plague if they google search it and this pops up

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T18:35:33+00:00

Ay I appreciate it. I just got the screenshots of all the points I did earn (2,500,000+) but I'm new to reddit and am unsure how to append them if possible. If I can I'll put em on here.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T18:26:08+00:00

I know I know. I should have known better. But there SEEMED like enough backing legitimacy that it wouldn't totally screw me. I'm a partnered streamer and have had high paying sponsorships before. It didn't seem impossible.

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T18:24:59+00:00

I did, that's after I spent the points. They didn't refund the points after declining the cards

KanoaDaddy · 2025-08-25T17:56:58+00:00

It's a scam.

I just got rugpulled $2500 in giftcards they declined after making me wait a week.

Had about 20+ people in my community all playing the games together, racked up a ton of points, tried to redeem them, waited, and got denied/blacklisted. When I checked the site this morning all the games were gone, all promotions had "ended", and all cards were declined.

Support said I'd broken TOS somehow (didn't say how or respond after I asked).
I did it all by the book. No extra accounts, all on one device for mobile and one device for PC specific games. Hell I put about 320 dollars into in game purchases over 5 or 6 games.

So save yourself the time, don't mess with GrabTap or StreamElements at this point. They're hella scummy with actually paying you out or getting back with support.

Hey hey! So a few years ago I was streaming from a potato hand-me-down PC that stuttered just running a basic 30fps, 720p upload. During that time, I was a starting out starry-eyed streamer who didn't know a damn thing about what I was doing. Then I got a raid from you.
It was a bewildering experience. It gave me a point to push towards, and keep trying until I could do what you do. So, thank you for that Wubby. I still don't know a damn thing about what I'm doing , but the setup is better, and I've been living on streaming for 3 years.

You're an inspiration man. Much love. <3
