Do you fancy yourself as a skill-based game master? If so, this article could be for you.
What you may not know is that you can turn your proficiency into real money, provided you know where to look. Below, we have taken a look at three such skill games which offer players a chance to win cash prizes. Let’s get going.
Online Slots
We will start off with an unexpected suggestion: online slots. You might think slots are a pure game of luck, but that is far from true.The actual skill lies in knowing when to play what game. If you master this, the reward is usually great in form of a jackpot.
So, how exactly do you use skill in order to win money from online slots? It may seem daunting, but in reality, if you follow a few basic tips, you should see some success.
There are four key things that you must consider before you decide on a slot. Namely: its volatility, its return to player rate, its betting limits and finally, whether or not you can secure a bonus by playing it.
Volatility refers to how unpredictable a slot is. A lower level of volatility means you have a better chance of winning, although the jackpots will be less than higher volatility slots. If you have a smaller budget, you should steer clear of risky slots, as they generally require a larger investment before you win.
Another thing to consider is the RTP rate of a slot. Expressed as a percentage, this is the proportion of all wagered money that a slot returns to its players. Sourcing information on RTP is easy; it only takes a quick Google search.
The final things to consider are betting limits — the higher the better — and whether the slot has any sign up offers. These can be used to play for longer without spending your own money. If you combine these four factors, your chances of making money from online slots will increase.
Esports
Esports, or competitive video gaming, has skyrocketed in popularity over the past decade. If you think you are good enough, you may even be able to turn your hobby into real money.
Some of the most popular esports communities are CS:GO, StarCraft and League of Legends. More commercially mainstream games like FIFA, NBA 2K and Call of Duty can also be played competitively as well.
For the very best players, there are international tournaments, where teams compete against each other for both silverware and huge jackpots. There are also services on the internet that allow less experienced players to connect and compete against each other for real money. Your jackpots will likely start off small, but as you gain a reputation you will be playing for larger sums in no time.
Quizzes
If you have strong general knowledge, you could start earning real money from online quizzes. Similarly, if you specialise in one particular area — such as sports, films or celebrities — there are also more focused quizzes that you may be interested in.
One of the best things about his method of making money is that there is often no entry fee at all. Most companies that offer these services make their money from investors and advertisement, so its players do not have to foot the bill.
In addition, many of the quizzes can be played on your smartphone. This means that, as long as you have a healthy internet connection, you can win real money no matter where you are in the world.
