Play-to-Earn Games; Make Money by Playing

Play-to-earn games, also known as tap-to-earn or earn-to-play games, are mobile games where people complete different tasks to receive bonuses, virtual coins, and (maybe) real money. The basis for all these games is the same: do repetitive tasks (tapping on the screen, like in Notcoin) to earn in-game tokens. Once, the exchanges list the tokens, you can trade them with real money.

7 Types of Online Games

Until now, different types of games have been developed for different tastes and ages. Players can choose one or more types of these games based on their personality, a game’s popularity, and how its reward system works. In the following, you can see the 7 types of games, including the tap-to-earn ones.

• Role-playing games

In role-play games, you have a fictional character and live in an imaginary world where you should complete tasks and gain rewards.

• Strategy games

In strategy-based games, you should make timely decisions to manage the in-game tasks. Create your kingdom, lead your army, build farmlands, or run your factory to earn digital money. Keep in mind that these games usually don’t have complex strategies, so anyone can play them.

• Collectible card games

The most famous examples of collectible card games are Pokemon, SilverName, and Hearthstone. In these games, you should collect digital cards. You can then trade them in in-game and crypto markets.

• Virtual real estate games

You can buy, sell, rent, and lease virtual lands on the real estate games. Upland and Decentraland are two most famous virtual real estate games.

• Play-to-earn games

In play-to-earn games, you do repetitive tasks and complete them to earn money. It is interesting to know that in all these games, the more time you spend in the game, the more you gain. So, complicated strategies and cheat codes don’t work with them.

• Sports and Racing games

In such games, you participate in sports matches and race with other players. The game will reward you based on your performance, speed, and skills.

• Adventure games

In adventure games, you explore lands, solve puzzles, decipher codes, and find hidden treasures to gain rewards.

How Do Play-to-Earn Games Work?

Most of the play-to-earn games (P2E) use blockchain technology and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to make secure transactions. The players gather in-game rewards by playing mini-games and completing exciting tasks. Then, they can convert their rewards into NFTs or cryptocurrencies, enabling them to trade their virtual money into the real one. OK, the players can earn money through tap-to-earn games, but what does it have for the developers? Well, the answer is quite clear: they make money through ads, in-app purchases, and cuts from players’ transactions on the platform.

Moreover, the players create different communities and work with each other to complete tasks and trade their cryptocurrencies or NFTs. The best examples of such communities are the Telegram channels that share Hamster Kombat daily combo cards and websites that share the Morse codes related to this game.

Best Play-to-Earn Games in 2024

The following play-to-earn games became trendy in 2024. Take your chance and play these games to make extra buckets. We are not 100% sure whether such games are viable and will make you rich overnight, but it is worth trying.

Notcoin 

With almost 40 million players, Notcoin is the blueprint of nearly all tap-to-earn games. In its early stages, people had to only tap (or click) on a gold coin to earn rewards. Now they get even more by inviting their friends and following certain social media accounts.

Hamster Kombat

Just like Notcoin, Hamster Kombat is a Telegram-based game with more than 100 million players. So there is no need to install an additional application on your cell phone or Windows. The game starts with tapping on a hamster and continues by customizing this cute mouse, completing in-game tasks, earning digital coins, and converting them into tradable tokens. Binance has not listed the HMSTR token yet, but many believe that it will be listed on reliable exchanges soon.

TapSwap

TapSwap is a game bot in Telegram where 50 million players earn TAPS coins by clicking on a shiny, gold coin. Players can even gain more digital money by completing tasks and inviting their friends. If you are into trading cryptocurrencies, you can learn about them by playing this game. It’s fun and educational! What else do you need?

Yescoin

Yescoin is different from the other games in two ways; 1. it has a vintage theme, and 2. you have to swipe on the screen (not tap) to get a bonus. This game has also been launched on Telegram, so there is no need for third-party apps. Although this game is TON-based and has 18 million active users, Binance has not listed it yet.

Are Play-to-Earn Games Safe?

Now the main question arises: “Are play-to-earn games safe or will I lose all my money?”
It is almost impossible (and of course too soon) to validate tap-to-earn games. The players are involved with real money or cryptocurrency, so there is always the risk of scams or fraudulent schemes. Be cautious and browse the net before joining any online game, including the P2E ones.

The Last Words

If you are thinking about making money through Telegram games, create a channel and share your gaming experience and data with other players. But, DON’T do it for free. Get a subscription bot and charge your subscribers for your valuable information.
