The ads I see in fremium gaming that claim you can “earn real money just by playing!” aren’t these just scams or are they real?

I play this interior design game on my phone and I constantly get ads for other games that claim you can “win real money just by playing!” or “win real amazon giftcards by playing games!”. I always just assume these are scams, but I’m curious: does anyone have any experiences with these “realmoney” games? Are they real or is it just another way for hackers to steal your info?

There is some money to be made, but not as much as you think. And in general these tools work by seeding a reasonable payout at the beginning, so people recruit their friends, and then gradually reducing the payouts once they have a committed user base.

Monetizing advertising to chase the few people who actually spend money in apps and games is a big business.

Disclaimer: I actually won an iPod Shuffle from Blingo back in the long ago, but since then I only do “offer wall” stuff for gems in two games. And even that fails to pay out as often or not.
