Gendama Complete Guide 2026 — Getting the most out of the industry's oldest 10-million-member point site

What Gendama is — the industry's grand old veteran

Gendama is a point site that Real World Inc. launched in 2005, among the very oldest in Japan's point-site scene. With over 10 million members and 20+ years of operation, it's a true veteran — running since the days when point activity was still called "pocket-money earning".

There was a time when "point sites = Gendama". The rapid rise of Moppy and Hapitas has shifted its standing somewhat, but Gendama's own touches remain very much alive: earning points through a train board game, a distinctive cash-out route via Real Pay, and a 3-tier referral system.

💡

Bottom line first: Gendama runs on a 10 pt = 1 yen rate, minimum cash-out 3,000 pt (300 yen), and cashing out goes via Real Pay as a rule. Its distinctive 3-tier referrals route part of your down-line's and their down-line's earnings to you. It shines as a "sub-of-a-sub" for steady mini-games and free offers.

The 10 pt = 1 yen rate & minimum cash-out

Gendama's rate is 10 pt = 1 yen — easier to convert than Pointtown (20 pt = 1 yen), and the numbers look bigger than Moppy (1 pt = 1 yen). The 3,000-pt (300-yen) minimum is the industry standard.

The intuitive anchor is "1,000 pt = 100 yen". When the train game says "you won 1 pt!", that's 0.1 yen — calculate mini-game expected values with that in mind.

Where Gendama wins

Category	Gendama's tendency
Gendama Dentetsu (board game)	Unique. A few hundred–few thousand pt a month
Surveys	Plenty of offers, good for steady grind
Free offers (info requests, free sign-ups)	Lots worth 10–500 yen each
Rakuten Ichiba / Yahoo!	1.0% (tied)
Credit-card sign-ups	Industry standard (Moppy ahead)
FX / brokerage	Industry standard (Moppy ahead)

Gendama's signature is "Gendama Dentetsu" — a sugoroku board game that resets monthly: roll the dice and earn the points of the square you land on. 500–3,000 yen equivalent a month is realistic.

Ways to earn points

① Gendama Dentetsu (build the habit first)

Roll the dice once a day. Each square's instructions — watch an ad, do an offer — earn points. 500–1,500 yen equivalent a month. Building a login habit is the side benefit.

② Surveys / monitors

5–50 pt each (0.5–5 yen). A volume play. 500–2,000 yen a month is realistic.

③ Free offers / info requests

"Request info for 200 yen", "free sign-up for 500 yen" — plenty of risk-free small-money offers. Clear 5–10 a month for 5,000 yen.

④ Route shopping (Rakuten / Yahoo!)

1.0% cashback (tied). The same as Moppy / Hapitas, so a Gendama main user can use it as their routing site too.

⑤ Credit-card sign-ups

Gendama sometimes tops rivals during campaigns — compare on pointnavi each time before applying.

Cashing out via Real Pay is the norm

Gendama cash-outs first send your points to "Real Pay", a point-exchange service run by the same company, then convert to cash, e-money, gift cards, and so on.

Destination	Min.	Fee	Arrival
Bank transfer (Real Pay → bank)	500 yen	Free	3–5 business days
PayPay (via Real Pay)	500 yen	Free	2–3 business days
Amazon Gift	300 yen	Free	Same day–next day
Rakuten Points	500 yen	Free	Next day
d POINT	500 yen	Free	Next day
JAL miles	1,000 yen	50% rate	1 week

The transfer to Real Pay itself is free above 3,000 pt (300 yen) within Gendama. There are many fee-free routes, but the weakness is that arrival is slower than rivals (2–5 business days). Not suited for "I want cash right now".

The 3-tier referral system

Gendama's biggest distinguishing feature. Where a typical point site is two levels ("you → the person you referred"), Gendama links three levels: "you → down-line → their down-line".

Tier 1 (down-line): people you referred directly. 10–35% of their earnings is credited to you on top
Tier 2 (their down-line): people your down-line referred. 1–12.5% of their earnings is credited to you on top
Only Gendama links to a third tier. Excellent stock-type income for those who refer at scale on a blog / social

🌱

For long-term bloggers, Gendama's 3-tier design can "grow exponentially". There really are bloggers in the point-activity world earning tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of yen a month from referrals.

Watch-outs — quirks of a veteran site

① The UI is dated — "hard to find the offer you want"

Launched in 2005, its UI design isn't modern. Basics like "search by category" and "sort by order" are fine, but compared with the Moppy / Hapitas apps, there are moments where things feel hard to find.

② Cash-out arrival is slower than rivals

Because Real Pay is mandatory, bank transfers take 3–5 business days. Moppy / Hapitas suit people who need "instant cash" better.

③ High-value offers fall short of Moppy

Card sign-ups, FX offers and the like favour Moppy. The realistic split is "Moppy as the main, Gendama as support".

FAQ

Is Gendama safe?

The operator, Real World Inc., was founded in 2005, is a JIPC member, and holds the Privacy Mark. With 20+ years of operating history, there's no safety concern.

Is Gendama Dentetsu actually worth playing?

It earns 500–1,500 yen a month and builds a login habit. On pure time efficiency, a single card sign-up earns half a year's worth — but for those who enjoy it, the fun keeps them going.

Can you really earn from 3-tier referrals?

For bloggers or social operators who keep gaining a steady number of "down-lines" and "their down-lines", it can grow into tens of thousands of yen a month in stock income. For those without social reach, it doesn't realistically pay off.

Worth using alongside Moppy?

"Gendama Dentetsu", "3-tier referrals" and "free offers" are things rivals lack. The best setup is Moppy as the main and Gendama as a sub for "fun + stock referrals".
