Play Games and Earn Money | Esports and Blockchain
In the past, gaming was always looked down on, either as a waste of time or something that nerds, and dare we say it, losers did.
Gaming has come a long way, both for play and social opinion, as well as for earning potential.
Today let’s look at the different methods of how gaming can be more than fun and not just a waste of time…
How do I play games and earn?
Method 1 Esports
Esports has opened an avenue for serious players, but the problem is that not everyone can dedicate themselves to full-time gaming. Some of us can play for hours and grind, but for a lot of us, competitive gaming is hard and draining.
However, if you have what it takes to play at the top and join an Esports team, you can earn some serious money.
Take the following Esports teams earnings:
Team Liquid | Top Players and Their Earnings:
Ivan Ivanov (MinD_ContRoL) — $4,462,254.00
Kuro Takhasomi (KuroKy) — $4,458,754.00
Maroun Merhej (GH) — $4,082,604.40

These players have earned millions from only playing games…which isn’t what mom and dad would have seen when telling their kids to stop that silly gaming and study more!
Blockchain and play to earn gaming
Method 2
You may have heard of cryptocurrency and blockchain. These two things have come together to give us paid gaming option number 2.
The concept is simple, and unlike Esports, it’s not just a matter of being the best, but actually playing the game and receiving rewards for your time and effort.
Game Companies like PTE Game will give players in-game currency, just like other traditional games, with one important twist. You can sell it online to others and ultimately get whichever currency you want, including GBP, USD, YEN, DOGE, Bitcoin……honestly, whatever you want through online exchanges.
You play the game, and you earn.
Blockchain, cryptocurrency, NFTs, digital wallets…this might all sound a little bit overwhelming but to be honest, with the development in this industry over 10 years, it’s never been easier to get involved, or, at least, try for free.

Play and earn
To summarise, gaming is turning into more than just a stress reliever or a waste of time. Real earning potential can be achieved from multiple avenues, and while both have their flaws, from skill gaps in becoming an Esports pro to technology understanding in blockchain, it’s no longer something to be ignored as impossible or a dream.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
A gamer!
It’s not something to laugh at anymore.
