I know I’ve talked about playing games for money in the past. Sometimes it has been a rough go, either struggling to find a good deal to work on, or fighting for a payout that won’t happen. Either way, the best payouts always involve either 30+ days played or putting some money into the game to reach the higher payouts early on.

The screenshot above is almost all from Puzzles & Chaos: Frozen Castle Android. There’s another $340 left to earn, but I did the math and I’d need to spend around $500 to get the last four castle levels, which would make that a major loss. As it was, I spent $244.95 to get through the goals that I did accomplish. Unfortunately, I could have saved at least $40 of that if I would have calculated that the level 30 was impossible without more spending.

Of the payouts that I did accomplish, $131 was payments back for the spending. But that puts me at a 38% return on my money in 1 week.

It gets even better, though: I had Google Opinion Rewards and Google Play gift cards from points that I can’t use on anything besides google play purchases. I used $13.78 in points, which brought my out of pocket down to $231.17. Then, FreeCash lets me withdraw via Stake, which gives me a 30% bonus. Since 30% of $400 is $120, so this offer should net out to $520 of Bitcoin, which I can move to my Robinhood Wallet, sell as cash, and either buy dividend stock, or put toward debt payoff.

At $520 and removing the $231.17 paid out of pocket, I made a profit of $288.83, which is a 55% return. Next up I’m working on the Swagbucks offer with Rise of Kingdoms. Wish me luck.
