How Much Do Game Reward Apps Really Pay?

Realistic earnings from play-to-earn apps, and why it isn't income.

The short answer

Small amounts. Expect occasional gift cards, not a paycheck.

Why earnings drop

Games reward you more early on and less as you level up, because advertisers pay most for new players.

Calculate your hourly value

Divide the payout by the hours it took. It's often well under minimum wage, so play only if you enjoy it.
