fake / scams: no. extremely misleading: yes!
Ok, finally gave in to a promo / ad about the alleged "money making games / apps". Was not dumb enough to believe I would get $100 - $1000 by playing a game. It was plain curiosity about the ads / promos. You know: "no ads" (required in almost every one I tried"). "no threshold to cash out" (don't tell you the minimum amount). People acting incredibly stupid / fake / making you laugh after the first few. This pretty much describes single games.
With these games, pay attention to every detail of promo / ad. Some at the bottom have a disclaimer. In every game / app tried: They don't tell you about all stipulations / steps you have to go through to receive money. The closer you get to "withdraw" goal, lower payout gets, especially within the last $20. Example: you may win $100 in the beginning. $490 mark: $1 probably less. The ads part? You will, at some point, have to deal with them. One I love: You cash out / withdraw, to get approved (for 1st time), 10 - 150 ads. After wasting all that time, next step!
They don't tell you about in promos / game (app) how many stipulations / steps until you receive money. Oh, "Cash Out / Withdraw" has a different meaning. Throughout promos / games / app you never see everything you have to achieve. It may be in the Terms / privacy, definitely not highlighted / stated while you are playing. It is always another approval / wait time / etc.
Summary: Ads are how developers / companies make money in this category. Don't blame them for severe overload. Being upfront about process for actually receiving money / maybe giving you some form of credit for dealing with them would go a long way. Will you, eventually, receive the money? Possibly. 1st one I tried (slot), still waiting in queue over 10 weeks (payout: $510, line position: 1710). Are these games fake / scams? No. Extremely deceiving? Definitely! Don't expect to receive money any time soon. Pay attention to all details in promo / game / app. Played a few where every 10 seconds there was an ad. Your best bet is next section. I have uninstalled 10 (as of article) before even getting close to final steps, over a 2-month period.
Apps that offer multiple games / choices are far more realistic. Mistplay best example I have tried (around 3 years and over $300 in gift cards). They do have ads but are not every few - 30 seconds. You can enjoy playing the games. With these apps, you will receive money when promised. Usually when you hit a certain point goal, main experience with Mistplay. These apps / games allow you to enjoy the game not getting annoyed with large amounts of ads. In most cases, ads / promos are between levels or in game.
Summary: This category is honest about what you / when you receive money. They don't offer unrealistic amounts / goals to keep you playing. Variety of games (few to dozens) make you want to play. As of article: every one I have tried, has paid out when promised. You don't have one more "stipulation / step" or "watch more ads to approve / cash out". Plus, a few have games I am addicted to playing!
Scroll down for this list / result. Check back for updates! Hit the point, even if I am in queue, time to uninstall. At some point either I will receive money or I won't.
