10 Games That Reward You In Cryptocurrency

With the introduction of smartphones, casual gaming has taken off in a massive way over the last few years. Games like Candy Crush, Gardenscapes, Pokemon Go, Lord Mobile, and Roblox are not only dominating the Play Store grossing charts but are also widely known in most households these days. Adults, teenagers and kids alike, all investing hours into levelling up in their game of choice.

Getting Actual Rewards For Casual Gaming

If you invest the hours, why not get real rewards that you can really cash out. Crypto rewards have now been introduced to gaming. App stores release more and more each day, some with good reviews, some with bad. With many South Africans still very sceptical about cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash & Ripple, these mixed reviews scare you off. And we would rather avoid playing these games than wasting our time struggling with payouts, or even worse, being scammed.

I have been dabbling in this space for a while. I played so many of these games and abandoned many of them. And I can confirm that few games easily give you legit payouts. So here’s my list of top games that really payout.

10 Tried & Tested Games That Pay Out Cryptocurrency

Hive Blockchain Games

The Hive blockchain is a decentralised platform initially built as a content-driven blogging social network where users could mine the cryptocurrency called Hive and Hive Dollars by creating and curating content. The platform has evolved much since its inception, and you can now era rewards through staking, curating, posting, playing games and trading in the truly decentralised fashion of the blockchain. Tokens earned on the Hive blockchain are called HIVE, HIVE DOLLARS, HIVE POWER.

Over the past year or two, a number of Hive games have can and gone, but few are sticking around and making a name for themselves. The two I can highly recommend are Splinterlands and Rising Star. 

9. Splinterlands

Spliterlands, previously known as Steem Monsters, is a play to earn digital, collectable card game built using blockchain technology. The gameplay can be compared to other card games such as Magic the Gathering and Hearthstone, where you build up your card collections, all with different abilities and skills, and battle other players in skills-based matches.  All transactions happen on the blockchain, and players can buy, sell and trade their cards digitally without constraint, just as they would do with a physical card game. 

Monster based and loads of fun, you battle your way through the different leagues, complete quests and can join guilds if you like. Earn extra rewards by competing in special events and have loads of fun as you build up your collection. 

How to Sign up: You Can sign up free to Splinterlands here. If you don't have a Hive account, they will create one for you.

Startup Cost: Sign up is free, as well as all gameplay. But an initial purchase of a Summoner's Spell Book this required to get started. This will set you back about 2 USD and contain all the cards you need to get started on your journey. This is the only obligatory buy-in; the rest you can earn as you go along or purchase with in-game tokens.

Type of Crypto Rewards: The native Token earned in Spliterlands, called Dark Energy Crystals or DEC.

Availability: Games are browser-based, so you can access them from any device with a web browser. A mobile app is also available, but I would recommend signing up on the browser first

Payouts: DEC can be transferred directly into one of the following wallet types: Hive Engine Wallet, Steem Engine Wallet, Ethereum Wallet, Tron Wallet or Binance Smart Chain Wallet.

What we think: This game is lots of fun and highly addictive. Constant challenges so you never get bored. New cards are released periodically, so there is always new NFT's to collect. If you build up your collection, you can earn a decent amount, cash in your rewards and trade for more popular tokens such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. 

10. Rising Star

Rising star is a card-based blockchain game based on the premise of becoming a Rockstar. You start off as an Illegal busker, busking for change and work your way through various gigs from there. You tackle everything from Open Mic night to headlining at a home town gig and playing at country festivals. As you progress, you purchase more cards to improve your gameplay and help you progress through the various levels. 

The best part for me about this game is how low-maintenance the gameplay is. You play as much as you want to, and you will still progress nicely. All you have to do is log in to startup your gig throughout the day and watch the rewards flow in.

How to Sign up: You will need a Hive account to start here. If you don't have one, the easiest way to create one is via Ecency, a third-party app facilitating the content creation on the Hive Blockchain. Go to Ecency.com and create an account. They will send you further instructions.

Once you receive your passwords go to Risingstargame.com and follow instructions to login. 

Startup Cost: FREE, strictly play to earn. 

Type of Crypto Rewards: Starbits (STA) - this can be traded for other tokens on Hive-engine. 

Availability: The game is browser-based, so you can access it from any web browser on your desktop. Once you sign-up, you will get a mobile link that you can use to play via your mobile browser.

Payouts: These can be transferred directly into one of the following a Hive Engine Wallet. 

What we think: I have been won over by this game since day 1. the simplicity and the ease of play, and the devs are always releasing new features to make things more exciting. It might not look like much right now, but with the way things are going, I'll say this is one to watch. In the meantime, I'm just enjoying the show!
