The social network VKontakte uses its internal currency - votes. You can use it to pay for anything within the network, except for commercial advertising. You can buy a virtual gift, you can pay for some units in numerous games. Is it possible to give them to someone? We’ll tell you about this last option - how to transfer VKontakte votes to a friend.
Is it possible to transfer VKontakte votes to another person?
How to transfer votes to a friend on VK in 2021 and is it possible? — a question from account owners who want to share their own ratings. The communication platform is constantly being improved. Most features are being updated, and some are being removed altogether. One of these is transferring voices to another person. Back in 2021, users could send conventional units to each other. To do this you needed:
- open a personal account, enter your login and password;
- follow to the “Settings” section;
- open the column associated with “Payments and transfers”;
- Find the “transfer votes to a friend” button at the bottom, indicate the recipient and quantity.
In 2021, the developers banned the function and came up with a new way to protect customers from fraud.
Where do the voices come from?
In order to transfer votes to someone on VK, you must first receive them into your account. As previously stated, votes allow you to buy gifts that are worth between 1 and 50 votes.
You can get votes in two ways: either buy them for real (or virtual) money, or get them for free.

In order to buy voices on the official website, you need to go to the “My Settings” page in the “Payments” section and click on the “Top up balance” button. A window will then pop up where you must select one of the payment options for votes:
- Bank cards (Visa and MasterCard)
- Mobile phone (Payment from your mobile phone account)
- Payment systems (payment system wallet with an exotic bird, Yandex.Money, WebMoney)
- Payment terminals (Payment terminals in Russia and Ukraine)
- Special offers (Free votes)
The last option is considered the easiest. Users can get VKontakte votes by completing a simple task. A few more options for getting votes are:
- through special applications;
- earn money by also completing tasks of this type such as: joining a group, putting likes on VK, etc.;
- win the competition.
How to transfer VKontakte votes to a friend in 2021?
We are faced with a question: how to give VK votes? Unfortunately, after April 20, 2021, it is no longer possible to share votes. Many users did not lose hope and tried again. However, the option is blocked to this day. To make sure of this, you need to visit the “Help” section. To start:
- open your personal page from any browser on your computer and view all sections;
- find a line to write a question, the answer will follow within 1 minute, specialists quickly respond to new requests or offer ready-made answer options;
- It says here that it is impossible to convert conventional units, since many scammers used the option for personal gain, which helped stop it.
Difficulties you may encounter when transferring votes
There are three main restrictions that are imposed by the VKontakte administration:
- Up to 100 votes can be transmitted per day.
- Voices can only be transferred to friends. In order to transfer to a stranger or someone who is not your friend, you need to add him as a friend, get confirmation and only then send the votes. (The procedure is long, tedious, but safe).
- To confirm the transaction, you must provide your real phone number, since confirmation of the transaction via SMS will be required.
Now let's look at the obstacles that most often arise when performing such a procedure:
- Long waiting time for confirmation code. The code can arrive via SMS quite quickly, literally within 30 seconds, or maybe within half an hour. If the code doesn’t arrive, you don’t need to chaotically press the “Submit Code” button, you just need to be patient and wait.
- After confirming the operation, the confirmation code is no longer requested when performing the next transfer.
- There are malfunctions, and when sending a code to your number, VK may write that “this number is already in use.” In this case, there is no need to buy a new SIM, just reload the social network page and repeat the operation again.

Why was the “translate votes” option removed?
When starting work, many users became interested in the option. It was actively used. Conventional units were needed to pay for stickers, play in applications and give gifts to another person. Currency has become a kind of payment for use. After a while, the activity of the voices began to decline. This was the main reason for stopping use. The second reason to refuse was the tricks of users. Third-party pages were selling virtual currency for real money. Users received nothing in return. Customers began to complain and write to support. In such a situation, the developers could not influence it in any way. The third reason is that customers liked it much more and purchased it more actively.
How to get it for free
Special offers of the social network
How to get votes on VK for free, earn them or transfer them
In one of the screenshots above, you probably noticed the “Special Offers” item in the menu for selecting methods for replenishing your balance. In this section you can get votes for free. To do this you will need to complete several tasks. You may be asked to complete the game to a certain level or become a member of a community.
Here is an example of one of the tasks that are available to me in the special offers section.
After clicking the “Go to the advertiser’s website” button, I was taken to the browser game page. It turned out to be a simple match-three game. Already from the first rounds, they began to intrusively offer me to buy a paid account, but I did not expect that someone would give me so many votes for thank you.
It took me 40 minutes to reach the second level (out of ten required). Considering that the speed of leveling up will decrease, it will be possible to complete the task and get the coveted votes in about one week, spending 2 - 3 hours a day on the game.
Please note that the special offers available to users vary depending on the information provided in their profile. An adult user who has many friends and has a large city listed in his personal information will have more tasks than a fifteen-year-old resident of the outback.
There are several reasons why your special offers list may be empty.
- You just recently registered on VKontakte. Offers will appear a few months after you register a new account, so you'll have to wait.
- You have changed your personal information in your profile. In this case, the tasks will be lost until the moderators check the information for accuracy.
- All tasks have already been sorted out. Check back a little later - new tasks are added almost every day.
Other ways to get votes
The most convenient and reliable way to get votes is to complete tasks from special offers, however, if you have been waiting for tasks for a long time, and you still don’t have them, then you can quickly earn extra money on special services.
Before the ban on transferring votes between users, there were a huge number of platforms where you could earn them by completing tasks.
Some of these services have closed, but most have changed their payment format. Now you receive payment in rubles for completing tasks. After accumulating a certain amount, money can be withdrawn to an electronic wallet, and then buy votes in VK.
In fact, the services with which you can make money on the Internet are not entirely relevant to the topic of the article, however, I still checked one popular site where you could previously get votes for completing tasks.
The Roboliker service offers to earn money by completing three types of tasks:
- subscribe to a person (add as a friend);
- like;
- join the group.
To register on the site, you must provide your email and VK page address, and then confirm that this page belongs to you by liking it.
Now you can start completing tasks. They can be found on the “Earn Coins” tab; on the same page there is a video with instructions on how to complete the tasks.
For liking and subscribing you will receive one coin, for joining the group - two. Looks good until you go to the withdrawal page and see the local currency exchange rate. To receive 15 rubles you need to give 1,400 coins.
To earn 1,400 coins, you need to join 700 groups. I don’t count likes, because they pay less, and I ran out of tasks of this type after only two likes. Considering the page loading time, it takes at least 5 seconds to join the community.
It turns out that to earn 15 rubles you need to spend at least one hour of personal time. The prospect is not very tempting, especially if you take into account that part of this money will go to the commission for transfers to electronic wallets and the fact that for such violent activity you can get your VKontakte page frozen.
I will not consider similar services in detail, I will only provide links to similar resources so that there is plenty to choose from. They all work on the same principle.
- The customer gives a task to boost the indicators of a community or personal page on VK.
- Performers complete the task (like, subscribe, repost and comment on posts).
- The service takes money from the customer and transfers it to the contractor, charging its own commission.

What are votes and how to buy them
Voices are a universal digital coin that is necessary to pay for various additional functions on VKontakte, as well as to purchase stickers and gifts. You cannot pay for advertising using votes.
The cost of voting may vary depending on the current pricing policy, the number of units purchased and the shares held.
For example, at the time of writing this article the prices were as follows:
- 20 votes – 140 rubles;
- 50 votes – 350 rubles;
- 100 votes – 700 rubles;
- 250 votes – 1750 rub.

Choose a convenient payment method, indicate the required quantity and make the payment. You can pay using a bank card, mobile phone, electronic money, “Thank you” bonuses from Sberbank and at payment terminals.
Money transfers
Money transfers are a great way to pay for a purchase in public, buy the full version of a book or a movie. In addition, this is real currency that is withdrawn to a bank account. The client would not be able to use conventional units. They are needed for entertainment in applications. This service will help you send funds quickly and reliably. There is no need to be afraid of entering data incorrectly. Many users do not like to transfer money to their account because they are afraid of making a mistake in the card number. This problem has now been resolved.
VK pay
This is a new platform for payments within a social network. VK pay is designed to simplify the transfer of money between users of the social network, as well as the purchase of goods in the internal stores of the site and the withdrawal of earned money.
Thus, this is not just a money transfer system, which was mentioned above, but a monetary ecosystem that allows you to conduct a full-fledged business. And many people are already actively using it.
As for votes, they are still used to buy virtual gifts, stickers and donations in games. And if your friend needs votes, then you can simply transfer the required amount to his card, he will accept this transfer to his card, and buy votes on his own. Now it works like this.
How to buy stickers through VK Pay
Stickers are one of the ways for users to express their own emotions on existing social networks. A large number of them are offered for free, but there are also some that require you to pay real money.
VKontakte sells stickers for its own currency - “votes”. Upon purchase, it is automatically converted into the national currency of the Russian Federation - rubles. You can find out the number of votes on the page in the “Payments and Transfers” item located in the “Menu” section.
To buy stickers through Vk Pay without commission, you need:
- Start a conversation with any account and select the “Smiles and Stickers” column with the mouse cursor, located on the right side of the text window.
- In the window that opens, you are asked to select any stickers to send to your interlocutor. If you want to purchase a new sticker, you need to enter the “Sticker Store”.
- Different stickers will appear in a new window, sorted by category.
- To purchase a set of stickers, you need to click on the one you like and find out the cost. Standard price – 63 Russian rubles. The social network VK regularly makes promotional offers during which you can purchase emoticons at half price or less.
- After clicking on the cost, a window will appear indicating the cash balance and the amount that is missing for the purchase. You can pay additional funds in any convenient way - using a bank card, from a phone number account, electronic money or using terminals.
