A reader has a question about the promises some games make:
“My daughter asked me if there is a website that could tell you if something is for real or not. I said you! 🙂 She was thinking of playing some games that pay cash for playing. Sounds a bit fishy to me. They are Rewarded Cash and Cash Giraffe. Are these legit?“
Well, it depends on what you mean by legit. Do some of them occasionally give out small payments to players? Yes. Do some offer rewards that can be cashed in eventually for gift cards. Yes.
But you aren’t likely to make very much at all playing games, just like the odds aren’t in your favor if you head to the casino. There’s always the danger of spending a lot more than you mean to in hopes of winning… just like heading to the casino. The likelihood of getting real money is low.

If you’re a fan of playing mobile games, you may have come across apps that promise to pay cash for playing games. It sounds like a great way to earn some extra money while having fun, but are these apps really legitimate? The truth is, not all game apps that promise to pay cash are created equal. Some are legitimate and will pay you for playing games, while others are scams that will waste your time and never pay out. To determine if a game app is legitimate, here are some things to look for:
1. Research the app: Before downloading any app, do some research to see if it’s been reviewed by other users. Read reviews on the app store and on other websites to see what people are saying about the app.
2. Check the app’s terms and conditions: Legitimate apps will have clear terms and conditions that explain how they pay out rewards, what types of games are eligible for rewards, and any restrictions or limitations.
3. Look for payment proof: Legitimate apps will have payment proof on their website or social media pages. If you can’t find any payment proof, it’s a red flag that the app may not be legitimate. 4. Don’t pay to play: Legitimate game apps will never ask you to pay to play or to receive rewards. If an app asks for payment or personal information, it’s likely a scam. While there are some legitimate game apps that pay cash, it’s important to be cautious and do your research before downloading any app. By following these tips, you can increase your chances of finding a legitimate app that will pay you for playing games.
However, considering the amount of time and skill it would take to win even a little money, might be better put toward a part-time job.
