Money-making Match 3 games, Real or Fake? Day 2


Match 3 games day 2

When playing online money-making games we need to remember that we will always have to watch ads. This is how the developers make their money and without ads, no money can be distributed through the games. We should remember that not all online money-making games are legitimate and give cash out as the games are advertised. So, I would pass on the advice that we need to be careful when downloading money-making games. 

Many of the match-3 games I have played this year not only made me watch video ads but also charge for power-ups. I stay away from these sorts of games because I need to make money not spend it. One of the reasons I chose to start my blog was because I got into trouble spending money to make it and never came out ahead. I chose to have my purchases through apps shut off so I am no longer able to make purchases while playing games on apps. Is this the move everyone should take?  I do not know, but for me it works and keeps me from spending money I do not really have. 

My husband did not understand how I could just spend money and did not realize how much I was spending. I explained to him that my head only looks at winning and getting ahead. I have an addictive personality that needs to control the outcomes. If I start something I need to finish it, whether that be a book, movie, tv series or game. When in a competition in a game, I want to be first in the race so my brain wants to stay on this one task until I win. It started out small, $1.99 here and there, then $4.99 wasn't bad. We would be ok, except before I knew it was $19.99 or $49.99 that would get me to the next level. Each level needed to be finished no matter what. It wasn't until I was exhausted and hungry that I finally broke down and told my son what I had done. Three days of no sleep and very little to eat as I sat on my phone hoping that I could get through the level and finally withdraw the money. Sadly, the withdrawal never comes and I have just wasted our food money on foolishness. It is no different than gambling but playing online money-making games at home felt safer. 

So here are a few of the games that I have played and not spent money on that I am unable to withdraw my earnings from. A lot of these games are so much alike I would think I would know better than to think I would win. Unfortunately, the ads are set up to get you hooked on playing games by showing real live people winning so much money. Yes, I do believe there are some legitimate games online but the majority are fake.

Turtle Looking for home

Seller- Kalsi Sharma  

The preview for this game states: 

”This is a game to help the little turtle find a home. Compare with your friends to see who can find the little turtle's house in the shortest time.”

This game has a good rating of 4.6 out of 5 from 922 ratings. Well, that is until we read the individual reviews. Most are not very promising. First off in the game that is downloaded there is no turtle looking for home. No, this is a typical match-3 online game.  It is so simple until you get to level 4 and realize it is impossible to beat. To read the reviews please visit: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/turtle-looking-for-home/id6738021948?l=ru&see-all=reviews

While playing Turtle Looking for home, Soap Bubbles Game was advertised so I downloaded it of course. These two games are exactly alike with the same background and playing tiles. The difference is that they are sold by different people.

Soap Bubbles Game

Seller- Ramika Garg 


The preview for this game states:

“This is a Soap Bubbles Game. The function is :

1.Calculate the sum below based on the numerical relationship provided above.

2.Select the correct option below based on the text described above.”

 




This game has a good rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 763 ratings. The ratings are mixed again and people who have not won the first 3 levels give it a good review. Again, as most match-3 games level 4 is impossible to beat and you cannot withdraw your earnings. Read the rating for yourself at: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/soap-bubbles-game/id6737454353?see-all=reviews

I have taken a picture of each game on level 4 and as you will see, I played them a lot and have nice balances.

If anyone knows how they can get away with this please send me a message and let me know. My curiosity has me wondering.

Of these three games Wooden Tile & Triumph was my least liked.

It had a lot of forced ads which just pop up right in the middle of game play. The tiles in this game are much too small and on level 5 it seems to be way too many pieces. The colors are similar and a little hard to look at.

Juice Match 3D was my favorite online money-making match-3 game. Sadly, it froze up on


me and I am unable to finish watching the videos so I can withdraw my money. I made it to level 86 before it went away. It was by far the best fun and addictive game play. I do not believe I used my power-ups more than once but added more spots several times. Strangely, I went to log in one day and there were no bottles or crates to be found. I looked for an update but never found one. I am currently waiting 30 days for my first small withdrawal. Guess I will find out sometime in February if it really does pay. 

It has a sad rating of 4 out of 5 from 127 rating. It looks like a lot of reviewers had the same problem with the game freezing. I would have loved to play this game to the end.

 After reading the reviews I recalled that I had to get $500 before I could withdraw and when I looked at the withdrawal task, I was only getting $46.70. Hmm, wonder what happened to the $453.30 that I worked so hard to earn. I still enjoyed the game play so maybe they could come back with a free not money-making game. Then I would download again and see how far I could get. But for a money-making game it would get a big fat F!

 

 Left with 6 videos to watch                                My $46.70 withdrawal

This game has a 4.7 out of 5 from 481 ratings.  I see that many people are rating the game before they actually get to the withdrawal level. This makes these games look better than they really are. I know a lot of games pop up the rating star window in the first or second level and I refuse to give a rating before I see the withdrawal process. My belief is that if everyone would wait and only rate after they realize they cannot win then possibly some of these fake games would go away.

 

I did not make it too long playing this game as level 3 is not beatable. So, this app will go into the delete file!

 

 

I do believe that I have reviewed enough games for today. Tomorrow, I think I will talk about the games where I do win sometimes. (Not very often) Until then, have a wonderful night and I hope you are enjoying my blog.
