Are these 'paid to play games' apps really worth it?

It takes ages to make any financial gains playing these games and a lot have minimum cash amounts that you need to reach 70 dollars in one case and a lot are like pay to play??? Where's the sense in that if you Google best company to join there's a list of best, good luck but it's not a way to make serious living if that's what your thinking, it's like beer money. Good luck 🤞0

Have you looked at sites like Cointiply,.
get paid in coins for reaching certain levels on games, also get coins for PTC (paid to watch short ads) doing surveys buying goods etc.
other sites like Freecash also.
Cointiply pays out in Cryptocurrency which you can sell for cash0 -

Playing games on swagbucks can be profitable- only if you enjoy playing games though. Pick and choose though, as some only give sensible rewards for a long, long time spent playing.Make £2025 in 2025- £751.88/£2025
Make £2024 in 2024- £852.21/£2024

The only one I've found to consistently payout is Mistplay, but I think it's still Android only. If you meet the daily challenges - usually 15 minutes each on 3 named games you have recently played, then 25 minutes more on 2 of them - you'll easily earn £25 a month. Not life changing but easily achievable and pays promptlybest wins to date-£500, 48 theme park tickets, Holiday to Italy+£250, Venus makeover package, laptops, pro-audio gear, £500 B&Q, £1500 Gucci bag, £1000 Maplin0

The daily challenges I receive on mistplay are more often downloading new games, or spending money. Never received just 'play games you're already playing' for all the challenges, it's just one of the three you must complete - and the new games offered are usually 1x - 2.5x rewards, the days of a selection of 5x games to choose from are long gone.
£5 a month is still my usual, (£70 total in 2024), for playing the games I actually find enjoyable and abandoning anything glitchy and full of ads - which is definitely more than a few of the games offered!

Re-answering within forum rules...
I've been using Free Cash app. Someone at work recommended it to me as I play mobile games anyway on commutes etc. They gave me a sign up link and that gave me £4 as soon as I used their link and installed my first game. I'm up to £34 (signed up 12 days ago) from playing a few games and I'm actually really enjoying a few of the games to be fair.
They have a daily Wordle in the app that gives you 8p just for doing it which seems good as I did Wordle anyway, just now I'm getting a few pennies to do it and each day you earn at least 1p you get a wheel spin which seems to win you anything from 1p and up. The game selection is pretty good (lots of different types) and alot of them have things like 1p just for playing it each day and then you can hit streaks, so if you play every day for 14 days you get a further bonus etc. One of the word games I have gives you 1p for each day you play but then 33p for a 7 day streak up to £6+ for a 30 day streak plus payments for hitting milestones in game. My biggest milestone was £12.60 and I didn't spend a penny in-game.
You don't even need to be crazily grindy. Not going to make anyone rich but if you play them anyway, it feels like there is definitely opportunity to make a few quid rather than doomscrolling socials etc. It also looks like you can get paid out via Paypal, crypto, google play credit, visa etc.Trying to increase my wealth1
