I have been searching for a while for ways to make extra money and one thing I see alot are the words "play games for money" Anyone know if you actually can make money playing games and are any of those sites actually legit? I have tried a few. Two required you to place a wager before playing a skill based game against others. The others just had you play games for the chance to spin, scratch, or play a minigame for money. I have never won wnything on those sites but it still has me wondering if there is such a site out there that actually pays people to play games.

First of all you can try playing the RPG game called 'Dungeons and Treasures' it is a game where you are conquering dungeons and gathering money. For a level 1 rank you must gather 400.000 coins to have one dollar, but with each referral you can gain rank ups. This increase your conversion percentage. Rank 2 is 350.000 coins and so on. Second game is Anno1777 it is a really complicated game, but when you are doing it right you can earn lots of money, but the road to lots of money is long without invesment. It is a game where you must fight against each other, making skaves and trade them. Or you can go to work and earn it legally. Or making a business like casinos or shops. It is your choice. I hope I liked you, happy gaming and mylotting! :D

Actually the conversion rate of Dungeons and Treasures varies monthly, no matter what rank you are. But of course, the higher your rank, the bigger the conversion rate. Gaining referrals does not increase your rank, buying star points does. However, having referrals in any rank can gain you more money, but again higher rank = more money. You can increase your rank buy buying star points that is worth a dollar each. With each star point, you gain 4 extra dungeons as well and 4 fidelity points which you can spend. :] :D

Hi there RoestEmPoe!!! Well I've tried doing this things before.Joining site that will pay you to play game but I guess it was never meant for me.I never last a week in sites like this.And I can say that I can't assure you that this kind of sites are legit.But you can try at your own risk.

I haven't lost anything myself but I haven't won either. But you see them anytime you do a search for money online. SO I have to admit I have tried some, I do like to play games after all so the draw is too much. Well maybe a site that actually pays will present itself someday.

You can actually play games to earn money but don't expect to earn heaps on your first go. I tend not to trust the game sites that require an investment, especially those risky challenge games that you compete with others because what if you lose? I'm not a fan of gambling either, you probably want a game that promises you cash and not losing any. Like what everyone else is saying, dungeons and treasures or anno177 are games that pay you to play. But it requires strategy and patience to start earning a lot. Maybe investment is required to get the basics started in order to start earning. I played anno1778, I just lost interest because I wasn't earning much. There's also moola which you compete others and as you win you earn more and more. I don't think you need to invest there. There's also Winster which is a very fun game. There's no investment and it's just like a slot machine except you are given a number of spins. You can trade slots with people playing alongside with you and you can earn extra spins, you can play all day actually.
