Getting Paid for Playing Mobile Games: the Strange Reality of 2018

There are many ways to earn money today that were previously unheard of. Strange ways of earning money is the topic we are going to discuss further today. Why do we call them strange? Well, because they are uncommon, and have only become possible with the development of new technologies that allow people to monetize their online activities.

Mining

When cryptocurrency arrived on the scene, we found out that one could earn by using the computational powers of a personal computer. Any owner of a computer can mine — you just choose the cryptocurrency and pool to participate in, and get real cash in your account. Of course, there is not much chance you will earn a lot with one PC (even if it is powerful one), but the point is, your PC (and now even your smartphone) can earn you cash without much effort from you. This all became a possibility with the birth of the cryptocurrency market, which solves trust, privacy, and security issues using a surplus of computational powers on the devices we own.

The main factor here is to make sure you use the most efficient equipment (on the basis of computational power/price calculations). You should also consider the costs involved, like electricity. Selection of the right cryptocurrency to mine is important, too.

Task Accomplishment

Another way to earn is on sites that pay you to complete a mini-task, such as:

watching ads, videos, and pages

writing comments

signing up to sites and forums

downloading and installing apps

There are often various tasks you need to do. Usually, such sites offer jobs that require you to create traffic on site. This is a routine job that demands a lot of effort to earn a few dollars for several hours of work. It is not rewarding at all, and you usually need to work days to get a minimum amount of funds available for withdrawal. However, it is still a new kind of activity that has been monetized, and which did not exist previously. You sell your own traffic, and you can do this since you have unlimited access to Internet — that’s what you sell when you earn in this way.

Completing Surveys

Completing surveys is a job often offered by sites that work with marketing agencies conducting market research. Here, you often need to fill out a form sharing some of your private data, and then you will receive a survey with specific questions you’ll need to provide answers for.

You can make $1–10 per survey completed — and it’s usually not too much work. In the past, this kind of work was available when people were gathering in focus groups, but now, this can be done online. As in the previous examples, you don’t get paid for your skills; you earn cash for something else — in this case, your opinion and tastes, if you are the target audience of the company conducting the research.

Playing Games

You also can get paid for playing games. How is this possible? As mentioned before, there is always a good reason why people get paid — for sharing their computational power, their market insight as consumers, and/or creating traffic — so what is the point of paying someone who just plays the game?

Targeted advertising. That’s what you get paid for — not for playing, but for the fact you remain on the page and watch ads pop up during the game. This is, in fact, another way to get traffic. Can you earn much? Not really; it is a waste of time if you want to earn more than a couple of dollars for hours of gaming.

Can This Get Even Stranger?

We have discovered that people get paid for some pretty strange things that do not lead to considerable income. Most of the jobs require a lot of time, with a rather small reward at the end.

However, what if people could get paid much more for gaming? No, this is not about how to cheat a casino, or about online gambling strategies to beat the algorithm. This is something new. Something that has come to fruition after cryptocurrencies appeared on the scene.

Remember when we were talking about mining? Mining is when you share your device computational powers for the good of the network and receive rewards for this. What if you mined so-called ‘game credits’ for an online casino with your smartphone, then gambled with them?

The main downfall for mobile mining (or even PC mining) is the fact that you cannot mine very much on this kind of device. It doesn’t earn the miner that much.

The main drawback of gambling, and the reason it is prohibited or limited in the majority of countries, is gambling addiction: people lose a lot of money to the house, which can be detrimental to them and their families.

But what if you gambled in an online casino, using only coins that you have mined? This is FreeCash. A shared crypto wallet brought to users with a gaming platform completely powered by cryptocurrency mining. Coins are mined automatically by your smartphone after you install an app and activate mining.

How FreeCash works

You cannot lose your salary, your spare cash, your car, or your house. You only risk with what you have mined on your smartphone. This solution compensates for many of the downfalls of smartphone mining, as you can multiply your mined currency if you win in the online casino. As for gambling, you only lose what you never had: mined currencies that you pay for only with your time on-site.

Afterwards, you can cash out with PRIZE tokens and convert them to cash or any other cryptocurrency.

It is said that the house always wins, meaning players lose. With FreeCash, the players always win. You can find out more about the project and how it is going to work here.
