It is normal that to have a game on our mobile we have to pay, but the opposite is also true: some games promise to pay us just to play. While there are examples that actually behave this way, you shouldn’t rely on these promises: many of these games are scams. We tested them to find out.
Open your phone, load a game, have hours of fun, and at the end, get paid for all that free time you spend gaming. Looks good, right? Developers know that there are many titles on the Google Play Store that promise get paid just to play. Just search for “game victory» so that a multitude of results appear, many of which promise the same thing: amassing small fortunes by giving in to vice. Let’s see what they actually have.
“Earn real money just by playing”
The promise of these games is striking, especially for people who could benefit from extra income. Because if they still want to play with their Android, why not get money in return?
On Google Play there are many examples of this type of game. We have tried several and the mechanics are generally the same in all of them:
- Download the game (or game platform) from Google Play.
- Open the installed application: usually They usually give welcome coins.
- They request authorization to use the access: they thus control that the game is actually used.
- The app usually records times, progress, scores, and wins from the game itself.
- The conversion of time into currencies is usually very uneven: it takes several hours to obtain virtual money. And these virtual currencies translate into a ridiculous amount of real money: between approximately 10 and 20 hours to earn approximately five dollars. This amount is easier to get at first, since these apps try to get you hooked so that you keep going (the first one is free, you know).
- Depending on the game, payments may be cleared quickly or take several days. And you shouldn’t trust him either: the platform may suddenly disappear leaving its users in suspense.
Game types are generally casual and geared towards quick play, although usually with a hook that requires you to constantly return to the game to maintain both progress and money earned (in-game currency and in-game currency actual). They usually pay per accumulated game hour, also for missions. And always very very small quantities: To make any profit, you would have to play almost 24 hours a day.
There are games that really pay, even if the amounts are minimal and require you to accumulate dozens of hours just to receive a small sum.
Trades are made when the user has a minimum accumulated amount and normally thanks to gift vouchers (like Amazon) and payments via PayPal. They are generally a minimum of 5/10 dollars or dollars; which usually amounts to thousands of virtual currencies. If you want to make a profit, and with no real guarantee that it will happen, you have to play constantly.
Some games really pay off. Not a lot
Our advice is not to give in to temptation and keep this type of applications away from your Android: apart from the fact that the games generally have questionable quality, They will force you to be attentive all day if you want to accumulate enough money to receive a payment.
What piques your curiosity? We’ve selected three options that are reliable enough to get you started. But remember: there is no guarantee of making too much moneyespecially in the medium and long term.
- Misplay. It is a platform with a multitude of casual games that offer money based on how long you play. You have it here.
- Gamee. Another gaming platform that gives money in exchange for the hours you spend playing. It also offers additional rewards, like spinning the wheel. It is available on Google Play.
- Break. This works quite well, although it can cause problems with cumulative payments. Like the previous ones, it is a casual gaming platform that pays for playing. It is here.
Conclusion: If you want to make money, don’t invest your time in games that promise to give you money
It’s true that you can charge, that if you combine all the platforms and play throughout the day you will surely earn money, but it will always be a minimal reward at the cost of enormous effort. The games are generally low quality, titles you would only play if they paid you. Therefore, we don’t think these apps deserve such an investment in the most valuable thing you can give: your time.
Never trust yourself when you see that an application is paying to use it: even if you have already seen that it is not necessarily a scam, the truth is that there are many scams in this area. Better to enjoy good games, even if you have to pay for them yourself.
