ALT-1 Get Paid to Play Games on the Internet
Do you want to make a fortune on the Internet, with little effort and no skills or qualifications required? If so, then the site I am about to describe is NOT for you. But if you spend a lot of time on the computer surfing the web or playing mindless video games and wouldn't mind the opportunity to make a little extra cash, then PrizeVillage.com might be just the place for you.
PrizeVillage.com is a great website that allows users to play games for cash rewards. When you win, you are awarded points, which can later be turned in for cash and gift cards to your favorite stores and restaurants. Unlike many sites, where your points or tokens will only award you the CHANCE to win cash by entering drawings and contests, Prize Village points are traded in for CASH cards or gift cards as soon as your balance reaches 25,000. There are no drawings to enter or annoying offers to complete. Just play the games and watch your balance grow. You can even win instant cash prizes.
Sounds too good to be true? Well, there are some downsides to Prize Village. For one, as of now there are only two games available on the site. However, a new game is scheduled to be released some time in 2008. Also, there is a limit on the amount of times you can play in one day. In the past, play was unlimited, but apparently they were giving out too much money. However if you want more plays, Prize Village has two affiliate sites, FreeMoneyWheel.com and Netwinner.com. Both are identical to Prize Village and even use the same account information.
If you're really into games, then you might be bored by the simplicity and limited variety that Prize Village and its affiliate sites have to offer. The first few times I played I was enthralled, but after awhile, I became bored with the games. Now I only play them while I am watching TV or surfing the net. They don't require a lot of concentration, so I can watch my balance grow with very little effort while I occupy my mind with something else. That being said, don't expect to earn 25,000 points your first day. It can take awhile, depending on how lucky you are and how often you play, but is very easy money.
Also, while Prize Village surely makes most of its revenue via advertising, it is possible that it also sells your email address to other advertisers, a risk that you take any time you sign up for any money making site. My spam and junk mail seemed to increase shortly after joining Prize Village, but it could also have been the result of one of the many other sites that I signed up for and wasn't anything to extreme.
Finally, once you have accumulated 25,000 points and selected your prize, it can take up to 2 months to receive your winnings. Unlike other sites that deposit funds directly into your Paypal account, Prize Village gift and cash cards are sent via the U.S. Post Office. However, I have received several gift cards and they were all legit. No tricks or fine print here.
So, I'd be lying if I said it was the perfect site, but from what I have found it is one of the only game sites from which you can actually legitimately win cash for your efforts, albeit not a huge sum.
