Online Game Websites
Make Money by Playing Games Online
Do you love playing video games? If you are anything like me, the answer is a resounding, “yes!!!” I loved playing games as child and I still love them to this day. However, I stopped playing a lot of games because I needed to get a real job and make money! haha Wouldn’t it be great if you could make money from playing games though?
Actually you can!
So How Can you Make Money Playing Games?
There are many websites you can play games on for money. Depending on the website, there are card games, arcade games, game show games, and even bingo.
Note: These are games for fun. NOT GAMBLING online.
However, most websites don’t offer cash directly. You’ll be rewarded with points instead. You can then redeem these points for cash and prizes or use them to enter a sweepstake drawing for money. Some companies also offer you points for taking part in special events through their website. The more points you have, the better the chances of you winning a sweepstake. These sweepstakes usually have a bigger cash prize or better prizes than what is offered with normal game play.
Some websites offer game competitions as well, with the winners earning sizable cash amounts or other prizes.
How Much Money Can you Make?
Winning a cash prize from a sweepstake can range anywhere from$5 to $100. Winning an online game competition can earn you around the same amount. Some websites offer monthly sweepstakes up to $500.00. Redeeming your points for cash or gift cards can earn you anywhere from a few bucks to hundreds or dollars. This again will be determined by what website you use, how much you play, and the prizes available when you redeem your points
However, you will have to play a lot of games and have luck be on your side if you want to make hundreds of dollars per month. A more realistic expectation is around $10-$20 bucks if you play often.
Who is This For?
Playing games online is a way to make some pocket cash on the side while having fun doing so. You’ll also need some luck if you plan on winning cash by entering any sweepstakes. If you love playing games online though, why not earn some cash doing what you love to do?
Pro vs. Cons
Pros
Very easy to do. Doesn’t require any specialized skills so anyone can do it.
Is very enjoyable, so you can earn money while having fun.
Many people play games online for free anyway. Why not earn points and try to make money from it?
Cons
You don’t get paid for each game that you play. Instead, you earn points.
To earn money, you will need to win a sweepstakes drawing, which means luck is involved.
Game competitions can earn you money, but usually only the top winners will receive a prize.
Summary
Playing games online usually will earn you points that you can use to enter sweepstakes for cash or redeem for prizes. To win a sweepstakes contest, luck is involved so you probably won’t earn much cash every month (although the more you play, the more points you get which increases your chances of winning).
Some websites also allow you to redeem your points for cash or gift cards. You’ll have to play quite often if you want to make a significant amount of money. You’ll also have to act quickly because some good prizes (high value gift cards) have a limited supply and run out quickly.
But if you enjoy playing games, why not make some potential money at the same time? And it’s possible you can earn cash prizes of $500 or more with monthly cash drawings. So why not get paid to have fun?
My #1 Way to Make Money Online
While playing online games for money is a good option for people who like games, it probably won’t earn you much money at all. So the main thing is that you enjoy playing the games, and think of the money as a bonus.
If you want to earn a significant amount of money online, in my opinion, there is only one legitimate way to do it. Creating a website/blog about something you love. Maybe your passion in life, a hobby, or just something you are interested in.
Don’t let building a website scare you off. You can build a website in minutes with no experience these days. A website is THE BEST way to earn money online. Not only can you earn enough money to live off of, but you can also give value to people by sharing knowledge with them. You can make money while sharing an interest you have with the world.
If you want to know exactly how to build a money making website, I wrote a step-by-step guide on how to do that.
