People nowadays are always looking at their phones, whether it's browsing the internet, chatting with friends, or playing games. But if you are playing games most of the time, why not use that skill to earn money? Some apps are now offering incentives just for playing mobile games. The catch? You must reach goals in the game to receive payment, and not all of them are easy cash as you might think. Read on and find out how these apps work and which apps offer this kind of paid gaming deal.

Mistplay

Mistplay is very well-known as an app that pays its users to play games. It is not just a side offer; it is all about gaming. It is for Android users who play regularly and have a whole lot of different games to choose from. It looks to be more of a game-testing app than a rewards site. Developers who participate in this platform want real people to test their games, give feedback and find bugs, and play through them. Rewards will be given based on how long you have played and level progression. It won’t get you rich, but if you use it regularly, you can have enough points to cash out gift cards.

Playtime by JustDice

Playtime is pretty much like Mistplay, which works closely with game developers who want users to test out their games in exchange for rewards. When you download their app, you'll be given different game recommendations. The more time you spend playing those games, the more points you will earn. There is no need to hit the milestones; just playing gives you credits. To track your playtime, the app will run in the background, so make sure that you keep the game active and allow permissions.

Swagbucks

Though mainly known as an app for surveys and cashback deals, Swagbucks also offers games in its “Discover” section. These game offers can pay more than the surveys, sometimes even more than $50, but of course, they come with challenges. To get the full rewards, you usually must reach a certain level in a limited time, say, for example, Level 30 in 10 days. Just a tip: before downloading a game, read the offer requirements so you’ll know what you are getting into.

InboxDollars

InboxDollars gives you credits for different online activities. Much like Swagbucks, you will need to reach certain milestones to get paid. It is fun, but not always easy. Some of the games take too much time or may require in-app purchases to help you level up faster. Still, if you choose carefully, there are a lot of choices to choose from in the app.

GrabPoints

Though not as high-paying as Swagbucks or InboxDollars, Grabpoints has a few selections of game offers on its platform. Just like other apps, you need to play games and hit goals to get rewards. These tasks may take some time to clear, so be prepared.

If you are into games, these apps are a solid pick, especially if you are consistent and don’t shy away from a challenge. It takes a lot of patience, time, and effort to know which games are worth playing. Just remember to read everything and play smart. This is not a job, but it is definitely a fun way to earn a few extra bucks on the side.
