I completed several of the play this game offer and earn 9-44 SB. I think they would get some revenue from ads, but most definitely not 9 cent. I still can't figure out what exactly is their revenue model...
Then there are other advertisers that state get free gift card, but redirect to a site that has a free watch with no conditions attached. The countdown timer is also fake and counts down from 10 minutes regardless of whether you are a new or old visitor. I don't even have to name the advertiser as it is so obviously the ones that don't require any payment details. They require email address and date of birth which I find to be very dubious.
Usually the free watch would come with a side offer that you must complete a platinum offer, bronze offer, silver offer, and gold offer. They would use this to give you a free watch, which may or may not arrive.
These same offer walls don't pass information onto Swagbucks though... How do I know this? Well, I've seen them before as some guy at work was playing with the offer walls to get free bitcoin back when it was popular. Supersonic and Trialpay are the common ones that I remember. I think those sites still exist, but I don't know how many people are actually paid their bitcoins.
I am however, completing these offers at home, so it shouldn't flag anything and nothing is working. They just don't pay me for some reason...
There is another one, Weekday Newspaper or something. You visit it and click all the way to the end with 12 or so pages but there is no captcha and all you end up doing it generating ad impressions for the scammer...
Are the offer walls useless?
I always have to clean the cookies as I guess they pick up a lot of tracking cookies on the way through those fake advertisers.
Similar offer walls have failed on me previously with tapjoy showing some of the same "scams".
