Real Cash Economy Games

  • These virtual currencies are normally in virtual worlds and are earned through playing the game.
  • Real cash economy games allow you to earn money that you can then spend in-game and/or in real life.
  • The way these currencies work is by only being worth a percentage of currency in real life. For example, a virtual dollar may only be worth 0.15% of an actual dollar.
  • These currencies normally have specific dates when you can withdraw, and require a certain amount of money to be obtained prior to being able to withdraw. For example, if you earn $1500 in-game, and the threshold for payouts is $1000, you can withdraw the money at whatever conversion rate the game uses, along with waiting for the cash-out day, typically at the beginning or end of a week/month.
  • If you are good at games, have a lot of time on your hands, and want to make money; it would be wise to play multiple real cash economy games so that you increase the amount of income you get per game.
  • I would also advise that you have multiple computer monitors so that multiple games can be played at once to optimize your earnings, and a calendar be created to keep track of withdraw deadlines and to budget your in game and real money.
  • Most Real Cash Economy Games are Free to Play.
