It Pays to Play – Apps that Reward for Playing

It Pays to Play – Round 1

Get Rewarded by Playing – apps that pay to play or try something new

This post is on two types of apps – ones that you play a game and earn points for an eventual payout and ones that you get points by downloading and using other apps (which often include game apps). It pays to play – apps that pay to play or try something new….

[edit]

ROUND 2 – Part 2 of my it pays to play posts with some new apps and sites that pay to play is available here. AND, a perfectly playful song and the rest of the original post

And via Amazon:

Earn Points by Playing

1. TapsForMoney

• Available: app is on both the App Store as well as Google Play.
• Run down: it is what it sounds like. You tap on things to water your tree, grow your farm, and also play mini games. Sometimes you tap on items that reward more points in exchange for watching an ad. Sometimes the ads have you play a game (without leaving the TapsForMoney app) as a way to try out an app that you can download which is kind of neat. Or a bit more fun than just watching an ad.You can also earn tickets and enter those tickets for a chance to win various prizes.
• Warning: Expect lots of ads and pop ups. A LOT. 
• Payout: You need to reach a certain number of taps and then you get $15. Note that it’s not a 1:1 ratio for actually tapping to how many taps you get. Sometimes you click to watch an ad for 325 taps.
• Time commitment: A lot. If you are bored and feel like playing something go for it. You never have to play for a set amount of time (you can go in and play for 2 minutes if you feel like it). But to rack up enough points to cash out, it will overall take a bit of time.
• My recommendation: if you are bored and even better, if you enjoy the game, hey go for it. There are tons of games out there with a bunch of ads that never pay so if you enjoy playing on this app why not use it. Just do not do it for the money because it will take a long long time for $15. So long I almost feel bad mentioning it. I am including because I want to review apps I have tried to give others some info or my take on an app that may be considering. 
• Referral Program? You can get points by sharing via text, Twitter or Facebook.

2. FishForMoney

• Available: app is on both the Apple App Store as well as Google Play. Or you can click on this link: https://www.appsthatpay.co/ffmdownload.html
  • This is my referral link. If you share via text you get 2,000 pounds of fish (basically the points). To be honest…since this isn’t by text, I am unsure if I get anything from that link but you can use it to text to friends. 5,000 for tweeting. Money for weekly contests if you are on Instagram or Facebook.
• Rundown: Here you catch fish for points. Some fish are worth more than others. Also you can unlock fish that give you more points through tasks.
• Ads ads ads ads. Sometimes this game can be a little fun but for me, the ads quickly take away from that. And you will notice that you are seeing the same ads pop up a lot. So lack of variety makes it more irritating.
• Earn enough points (1 million pounds of fish – bigger fish are worth more) and you get $15 via PayPal or Amazon Gift Card.
• Again if you enjoy playing this game why not do it. But don’t do this for money because it will take a while to get there.

3. MooJoy (along with MooCash and MooBucks)

• <<EDIT: I no longer can suggest using this app>> And so I deleted my review.

Earn Rewards via Trying Other Apps

1. MooCash

• Was Discussed above in connection with my blurb on MooJoy. <<EDIT: I no longer can suggest using this app>>

2. CashApp – Cash Rewards App

**NOTE: this is different than the Cash App by Square (money transfer app)

• Available: Get the app on the App Store or Google Play.
  • NOTE: many have similar names. I included links to help with that.
• Rundown: Earning points:
  • (1) checking in daily gives you 20 points.
  • (2) download an app by clicking on one listed in this app under the task tab>list. Note: pay attention to exactly what is required. It is listed in the home screen that shows available apps/tasks but you can also click on an app to see what’s required. For example, it may ask you to reach a certain level or complete a task within the app. Here you will also see other important info like if this is limited to only new users of this app.
  • (3) go to task tab>map. Here you can search for local tasks to complete at nearby stores.
• Note: when looking at the list of tasks under tasks>list, you will notice only some are asking you to download an app. There are quite a few that ask you to register for something to get a gift card for a store or restaurant. If you click on one of these, you typically see that you need to sign up for a deal at 3 different levels. Some are free, some free trials, and some cost money. May be worth it if you find deals listed you’d like anyways.
  • I haven’t used this option but can imagine it may lead to spam, so use caution and perhaps an alternate email account and phone number (you can set up one with your gmail account on google voice)
• Payout: once you reach the necessary points, you can request a payout via PayPal. The app says this is currently the only option.
• Referral program? Use my code: 0C7SUM.
  • Then I get 100 points and you get 20.
  • So you can share once you download to get the 100 points for your referrals.
• Warning: one of the tasks available is to rate this app 5 stars on the App Store. So don’t necessarily trust all reviews you see….It may just pop up under the list of tasks as I see the refer a friend on a very similar app listed next..

3. Money App

• Available: Get the app on the App Store or on Google Play.
• This is so similar to CashApp that they look the same. Almost exactly.
• Refer code: FF2D9W
  • Note this got reset for me.. so word of caution.
• Given the similarities between the this app and CashApp, id suggest checking both out but quickly choosing one to stick with. Otherwise you will see the same tasks to download apps on both apps and have to spread out those points if you use both. Although, both do give a daily sign in reward, so you can keep one for passive earning via simply collecting the daily points: just prepare for it to take a while.

4. Make Money

• Available: Get the app on the App Store or Google Play.
• Another app virtually identical to CashApp and Money App, so the blurbs on there apply to this app as well.
• Referral code: 7D7E8R
  • also got reset for me now twice….if you use the app a lot you will still get the 20 extra credits I believe from using my code. But may not get it from others (or perhaps it changes a lot)

5. GetRewards

• Offered tasks are extremely similar to CashApp, Money App, and Make Money.
• It is set up a bit different, whereas the other three look almost identical.
• A bit glitchy. The home page has three categories you can click on for tasks. Usually I can only click on one and it varies which one I can click on.
• Referral program? Yes. If you can find your code. If someone uses your code when they first sign up, you are rewarded by earning half of their earnings for life.
• Offers other rewards besides PayPal.

6. PocketFlip

• Why not round out this list with yet another that looks almost identical to CashApp, MoneyApp, and Make Money.
• A few noticeable differences with this one though: the FAQs are much more helpful. The referral program is also a bit different. Anyone that uses your code gets 100 coins off their first gift card redemption. Also, according to the app, you will earn up to 1,000 coins with them, 50% of the coins they earn.
• My referral code: fnctjm369
• Note that one difference is a negative – this one has no daily check in reward.

Final thoughts

• HAVE FUN
• The games you can download for points from each site WILL overlap. What does this mean? You get points with only one. Unless you are into downloading a lot, I’d narrow it.
• TapsForCash and FishForMoney have no downloading but the ads are sneaky so it’s hard not to accidentally do so.
• Bored?????? Go ahead. I will list some other games that pay to play in another post. More so free gambling games or Satoshi!
• But if you get irritated, just set them aside for later. You won’t make that much to be annoyed here.
• So after reading this list of some apps that pay to play or try something new…

NOW YOU TRY THEM OUT

*please be careful though and not overdo it on spending money and signing up for subscriptions or agreeing to something for a free trial. I personally do not do either – no money and no signing up for something.
