How to Make Money by Playing Games

Playing video games can be a lot of fun, but making money by playing video games can be even more fun. Here are a few ways to make money by playing some of your favorite video games.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Enter a video game tournament.
   The competition at a video game tournament can be huge, but also so can the prize money. Many video game tournaments offer prizes and money to the winner. So if you are very good a video game, you might want to consider doing this. Some of the competitions require you to have a team. So make sure your whole team consists of great players.

2. Play online games for money.
   Some websites allow you to win money or prizes by playing others in video games. When joining a website make sure it is a legitimate one. Not all of them will have the best games either, but it still is nice to make a little extra money. So whether you are at work or just sitting at home, you can add a small amount to your income.

3. Become a video game pro or a video game tester.
   It may sound too good to be true, but it's not. You can get paid for trying out the latest games to make sure there are no glitches and it is fun. While there are not a ton of these dream jobs, they are out there, so keep looking.

Tips & Warnings

• If you decide to do a tournament you might want to try just playing that game until then. That way you, and if you have a team, will get even better.
