Hello everyone,
I wanted to make money, but a website called Sprouts Gig stopped me. They blocked my account for invalid reason.
Some people might think there's always a reason for this. But trust me, try working on that website. When they block your account, you'll remember what I said.
Thank you!

This website is a digital hellhole for freelancers. SproutGig (a. K. a. PicoWorker) is run by some of the most shameless bloodsuckers on the internet. It lures in people from poor countries, makes them grind like machines for peanuts, and then throws them out like garbage the moment they start earning. I wasted months of my life on this useless platform. Worked my $#*! off for 10–12 hours a day just to earn a few miserable dollars. Then one day, boom — suspended without a single valid reason. No warning, no explanation, just a pathetic copy-paste message from their so-called "support team." Bunch of clowns sitting behind a desk playing with people's lives. Oh, and they love tracking you. Open one account and they spy across your laptops like f***ing malware. Pop-ups show up on your other devices saying "you're being tracked." What kind of shady-$#*! system is that? Creepy as hell. This isn't freelancing, this is online harassment. Then they ask for ID cards like they're some official institution. Let me guess — they probably SELL that data to god knows who. Can't trust a site that bans people for breathing wrong and hides behind generic replies. I invested money in internet devices, power, and hours of my life. They took it all and gave back anxiety, stress, and disrespect. The founders should be ashamed for exploiting struggling workers. SproutGig is not a platform — it's a f***ing TRAP. Avoid it like the plague. Block it, report it, warn others. Don't fall into the same disgusting trap I did. Final Verdict: 0 stars. Burn this site to the ground.

It seems that this site is run by bastards. Those who work do not get paid for their labor. Account ban for trivial reasons! Listen to me, beg on the streets with a plate of food. Do not eat the money of the oppressed. The owner of this site was born in a forbidden village. Refrain from working on this bastard's site.

They do not have the lowest levels of professionalism. I applied for a small job as an employer and they rejected it many, many times, and each time they gave me a different reason for the rejection, and every time I fixed it, they repeated the matter and rejected it. I also felt a kind of racism against Arabs since the job was theirs... I would never recommend them for work.

SproutGig is a very bad and poorly managed site. It was fine before 2022, but since then, it has become extremely difficult for workers to earn on this platform. The management of SproutGig has designed an algorithm that immediately suspends the accounts of workers as soon as their balance goes above $4, without any valid reason, especially for those workers who follow the site's rules properly. This has happened to me 11 times—whenever my balance exceeds $4, my account is immediately suspended. When I email them, the automated response simply says I didn't follow the rules. We are not children. My advice to everyone is to use a different platform.

My Account suspended
September 26, 2024

I had 8 dollars. But they suspended me for a trivial matter. Where it was buyer's fault. This is totally scam. I have been with this website for almost 5 years.I'm glad I didn't have much money. No one will work. This website will be destroyed if necessary.

Worst site ever, was good at first but not any longer, so annoying, they didn't allow you to withdrew your money without any reason. They block your account, stops you from working, everyday they bring rubbish updates, that will ends up destroying people effort. So I don't recommend this platform and don't waste your time.

Like others here, there have been a lot of acc suspensions lately, & I'm one of those who experienced it. I have proof that they cannot provide any evidence of what & where I violated, they can't even help me. I even filed a ticket again, but still nothing.

They don't even send an email or notify you the reason why your acc was suspended, you'll just be surprised that your acc is suspended. Their Zendesk support is not consistent. They even take your earnings as part of their policy, so it's really unfair especially for small earners like me.

Always DYOR in online jobs, guys!

A very unfair place for workers. This site has some absurd rules - if their algorithm evaluates that you have done the same task twice, which does not have to be true at all, you get a penalty of 60 seconds interval between two tasks, which increases every time you are negatively evaluated again. As long as this penalty lasts, you cannot withdraw your money earned until then! Incredibly.This means they can fine you indefinitely for false reasons, and you can't withdraw your money.In addition, Sproutgigs does not provide any protection to the employee from a dishonest employer. Most tasks are scam. A very disappointing experience.

SproutGigs is a nightmare for anyone seeking fair employment. The platform is infested with cheating publishers who exploit workers without consequence, thanks to laws that shamelessly favor them over the hardworking individuals trying to make a living. Speak out against these injustices, and your account will be promptly blocked, silencing any dissent. Adding insult to injury, many publishers reject completed tasks without reason, and there's zero oversight to hold them accountable. Workers on SproutGigs are treated as expendable, with no value or respect. Save yourself the stress – I strongly discourage anyone from working on this platform unless you want to risk a nervous breakdown.

Attention all users,

I want to share my unfortunate experience with SproutGigs. My account was suspended without valid reason, and my funds were frozen without explanation. Despite multiple requests for clarification, the platform failed to provide any evidence of wrongdoing.

This lack of transparency and unfair treatment is unacceptable. I am not alone in this; several of my referrals have faced similar issues. It's disappointing to see a platform operate in such a manner.

Beware before engaging with SproutGigs. They have stolen money without justification and pushed users out without valid reasons. I am now left with no choice but to warn others about their practices.

This is a scam site and it is owned by an unknown person from Bangladesh. I worked on it for a month and a half and saved $130. Whenever I want to withdraw, it gives me a penalty for using a VPN proxy, and when the penalty period expires, I try to withdraw and am rejected again because I used a VPN. My father never used it at all. If you find positive comments, they are comments that are bought with money to put them... Be aware that it is a scam site and professional in fraud, and if you do not believe me, you will find on their site the address of their company. Search for that address on Google and you will find that that address is fake and does not belong to that name, i.e. Sproutgigs.

They won't allow you withdrawing your own funds, keep that in mind before depositing any funds. Moreover, the gigs listed on the platforms doesn't worth it, they copy thumbnail from fiverr sellers or something similar, quality of the work is below par.
I tried 2 projects and was disappointed

I was a business owner on the platform, and I requested backlinks from one of the sellers, so he sent an excel file with the links,, and when browsing the links, I found them links to sexual and porn sites. I asked the seller to delete it, and he blocked me. I contacted support, and their response was, after a long discussion, that I have screenshots of it)We have restricted the seller.( BUT that fake. After that they said (We're still investigating the seller and this may take a little longer.)> My site was damaged by work, and they say the opposite of what they do. It's a very sad thing for those people in support. A platform that does not care about its customers does not deserve to be registered with it... It was badly damaged and they are indifferent... Whoever wants pictures of the conversations, I will send them to him.

Update: now they are block and banned my account...

Updated review

This is a Very good site where you can work to earn something out of it.
One has to complete the jobs and rated successfully to get paid. If you do the jobs correctly then you will get paid.
I have added a picture of my screenshot showing that funds were successfully sent to my account.

The site is very good for those looking to make something online. It has set of rules that if you complete and they are rated as good work then you get something out. Just follow rules and you will earn.
