Verdict up front: a BlockMiningMiner user reports receiving one small initial payout, after which payouts stopped, and warns others not to invest more money. Another describes a daily withdrawal cap of under $2 until you buy more miners. The app has 100,000+ downloads and is published by a developer called Sticker Game Studio.

A sticker studio selling hashrate
BlockMiningMiner describes itself as “a cloud-server-based mining computing management tool” that lets users “view and manage mining-related computing tasks and operational status through cloud systems without purchasing or maintaining any local hardware”. The developer name is Sticker Game Studio. The category is Tools.
The gallery is a shop: “Easy Mining In One Tap”, a “Powerful Pack” offer, “Power Up With Upgrades” over a miner market, “Manage Mining Assets” listing rows of 410 GH/s miners, and a seven-day check-in calendar.
What users report
Two recent reviews
gurpreet singh, 16 September 2026: “I think this app has turned into a scam; it isn’t issuing payouts. Don’t invest any more money in it. I received one small initial payout, but then it stopped.” Ian Moore, 23 August 2026: the withdrawal limit allows only a small amount, less than $2 initially until you buy more miners, and only once a day.
The first payout is the advert
An app that pays a few cents once has bought itself a five-star review and a customer who now believes. The second withdrawal is the one that tests the model, and that is where this user says it stopped. It is the same pattern we have documented in other apps in this vertical: a small early payout, then rules or silence once the buyer is committed.
A cap of under $2 a day that rises only if you buy more miners turns the withdrawal itself into a sales funnel. The only way to move more of “your” money out is to put more money in.
Screens we have seen before
The Powerful Pack offer and the Market/My Miner layout match screens we have already documented on other mining listings under different developer names, including PowerMine. A shared template does not prove a shared owner, but it does mean the same playbook is being run behind several storefronts.
What a 4.6 average hides
7,330 reviews at 4.6 stars sounds decisive. But the complaint is not “it never paid” — it is “it paid once”. Every user in the first-payout phase is a potential five-star review. The reviews that matter are the ones written after the second withdrawal.
Before you pay any mining app
Four checks take less than two minutes. Read the full description for the words simulation, virtual or for entertainment. Find the withdrawal minimum and compare it with what one day of “mining” adds. Look at the Play category and the developer name: a mining app filed under Tools or Productivity, or published under a personal name or a string of keywords, is avoiding scrutiny. Then sort the reviews by newest and read the one-star ones about withdrawals. If none of those checks passes, the only safe amount to spend is nothing.
- One small payout proves nothing. Try a second before spending anything.
- A withdrawal cap that rises only when you buy is a sales tool, not a limit.
- A “sticker” or “game” studio selling hashrate is a mismatch worth noticing.
- A mining app under Tools is avoiding Finance.
If you have already paid
Cancel any subscription in Google Play (Payments & subscriptions), not inside the app. Request a refund through Google Play while the charge is recent. Screenshot your balance, the withdrawal screen and every purchase before anything changes. Then report it at IC3.gov, or to Action Fraud in the UK.
