There are an increasing number of play-to-earn apps that allow users to be rewarded with cash prizes.
The top play-to-earn apps
There are dozens of apps that pay users just to play or interact with them in some way. Which are the best ones that pay in cash or cryptocurrency for playing games, thus combining business with pleasure?Â
Certainly, these are small amounts of money that are not going to make anyone rich, but since they are predominantly aimed at a young audience, even a few euros can be useful for taking away a few small whims.
The first question many people ask is: why should an app pay users just to play games?Â
The answer is quite simple and relates to traffic to a site or app, which in turn generates returns in terms of sponsors and advertising.Â
The greater the traffic the greater the revenue.Â
That is why these apps have every interest in increasing their user base.
