THNDR Play Games to Earn Bitcoin

[Mr. Magkaisa]

    -   First of all, thanks mate for sharing the games you have given on this topic. If it's just the right game and entertainment, it can be played even if there are sats earnings.

Tried to play the bitcoin bounce, it's a bit difficult to play but I can play it too, although the sats are low, that's how it is when you play to earn, and the easiest to play among them is the Bitcoin baya, it's entertaining and not hassles to play though you have to think before throwing the bubbles because they are limited.

I wouldn't expect the reward to be super high at all, was just curious the exact amount. These ads you didn't like are how they are able to give you a few cents, you shouldn't be upset because you have to watch an ad many times. You're not going to get rich playing this, be happy you can make a few cents in your spare time.

I am trying some of their games and the amount of ads you have to watch is way less then I was expecting, so not annoying at all.
Also be aware you are not awarded sats directly when playing but you earn tickets for a raffle, held every few hours or so, and the amount of tickets you can earn are related to the gameplay; for every raffle you are displayed the amount of sats in the jackpot (I guess they are proportional to the number of players playing that specific game in that raffle), there a re different prizes in every raffle so the sats prizes are awarded randomly.

Good way to stack some sats in your free time, could be good to bring people close to crypto maybe, but nothing but nothing worth investing too much time in.

So you're not guaranteed anything? Interesting but do you think it'll make  bitcoiners more or less likely to try it out without a guaranteed prize? Maybe they will try it because they might just enjoy the games themselves? Glad someone tried it out and gave some good feedback for the community.

Smart idea IMO.

I don't know if it's guaranteed, but as far as I've seen, I get tickets depending on the gameplay, and after the draw, they always reward me with some sats. I haven't quite figured out all the intricacies yet, but what matters to me right now is that the games are enjoyable to play (I'm into this kind of stuff anyway), and the ads aren't too intrusive or distracting.

The apps are full of ads, and whenever you lose a game you are forced to watch a video ad. The experience is annoying because sometimes you lose 2 times within 5 minutes and you'll have to watch a 40 second long ad to replay the game.

It's worth noting that not all games are equally cluttered with ads. You should try some other games if you haven't already.

It somehow seems to me that there is no need to talk about earning, but about entertainment in the case of such things. From what I know, you can earn more on faucets in one hour than playing these games - although some will say that faucets are a waste of time. Besides, playing games on a smartphone usually drains the battery very quickly, and you also need internet to play online if I understand correctly?

[seoincorporation]

The idea is good, is like a faucet while playing games, I don't like much the fact that you earn tickets for a raffle and not direct earning, but we still have the chance to win, which is good.

It reminds me a game that I played some years ago in my phone, it was flappy bird but with bitcoin rewards, I remember I made a withdrawal of 0.002btc in that game in only 2 days. That was nice, but after some months the game stopped paying and was taken down because there were too many abusers farming the app.

[Kakmakr]

I think it was very clever to add the raffle system for the player rewards, because that makes it legal for people from restricted countries to access the Apps and to play the games. It is a lot like what Stake.com did with their sweepstakes system in the US version of their site. 

I am just glad it is not like those "faucet" type sites that we had back in the day, because those sites were crap. Users spend hours to receive only a small amount of Satoshi .... and it is actually a waste of time. 

[maydna]

It looks like this is a faucet in the form of a game that allows people to get free satoshis. Maybe the developer can make it available for playing on computers or laptops and not just for mobile phones because some people prefer to play games on their computers or laptops. But unfortunately, there is no writing on which countries are included in their list, so we have to see it directly on the Google PlayStore. They should have posted it on their site so people could see it instead of visiting the PlayStore. Hopefully, there will be updates from the developers for all the games because I see a game like this that can attract the attention of gamers to try it. They can also get the free satoshi.

[coolcoinz]

Are these games loaded with ads that you have to watch? I'm assuming that's how the developer is able to give out money? How many sats are you able to earn? I'm sure you won't earn alot playing but would be nice to know. Either way, pretty cool you can get paid to play a game in your spare time.

I've tried to install one of them and got immediately asked to link my google or twitter account.

Ok, so I gave it a try to see how much I could be getting and here's the catch: you are not getting sats for playing, for high scores, for nothing really. You get tickets that allow you to enter a lottery, where you can win a few sats, or not. So, if you feel like you can make some bitcoin playing, it's probably possible, but your head will be in pain after a few hours of watching commercials and you'll probably get $0.1 for it. Yes, it's not a mistake $0.1 because the top prize that I saw was 1000 sats (0.00001 BTC)

[hopenotlate]

By the way, I tried the game and earned some sats that I was only allowed to send  to a linked wallet called "Wallet of Satoshi" ( lol ) but didn't try to use it besides spending there game prizes. Anyone had a closer look to that built in wallet?

I didn't try any of the games yet, but it seems like the racing game might be fun, or maybe I feel like that because I'm a fan of racing video games. Anyway, I wouldn't expect very high rewards for playing free games so even if I get a little, it is still not bad because people usually play games for nothing only to pass their time and if the games are engaging and entertaining, there should be no issues for anyone to play them.

I'm sure there are people who still use PTC sites to earn a few cents each day or use Bitcoin faucets for a few hundred satoshis per week, these games can be a great asset for them as they will do something entertaining and also earn a few cents for doing that.

I believe any wallet that has Lightning Network (LN) functionality installed on your smartphone should be supported. According to their help pages:

While you can just use any Lightning-enabled wallets to withdraw your bitcoin from our games, here are a few wallets we recommend:

Blixt Wallet: Android / iOS
‍Blue Wallet: Android / iOS
‍Breez: Android / iOS
‍Muun: Android / iOS
‍Phoenix Wallet: Android / iOS
‍OBW: Android
‍Wallet of Satoshi (WoS): Android / iOS‍
Zeus Wallet: Android / iOS

Currently, I'm using Blue Wallet on my device, but I get a weird error from the wallet's side while attempting to withdraw, specifically when creating the LNURL. I'll give it a shot with another wallet to see if the issue persists.

This games wont make anyone rich but many people are playing other games and wasting time for free all the time so I dont know why anyone would complain on lower rewards.
Few satoshis maybe dont worth a lot today but this could change in future, just remember what happened with Pizzas and early Bitcoiners.
Some people would hold a fortune if they kept Bitcoin from faucets, but at that time it was almost worthless.

Well its close to what we have before such as clicksense, there isn't even an option to skip ads. Still there are tons of kids out there that might be interested on this, I just hope they are not asking KYC withdrawing coins because this definitely will be a scam when someone finds a way to use bot or AI to keep playing while away from their screen.

There is no KYC for playing games and withdrawing sats with Lightning Network, and its silly to say this is a scam.
Do some basic research before saying stuff like this please.

I don't know if it's guaranteed, but as far as I've seen, I get tickets depending on the gameplay, and after the draw, they always reward me with some sats. I haven't quite figured out all the intricacies yet, but what matters to me right now is that the games are enjoyable to play (I'm into this kind of stuff anyway), and the ads aren't too intrusive or distracting.

Most of the apps are with ads anyway, but maybe there is a way to hide some ads with changing DNS settings and adding adblocker in phone DNS settings.

Currently, I'm using Blue Wallet on my device, but I get a weird error from the wallet's side while attempting to withdraw, specifically when creating the LNURL. I'll give it a shot with another wallet to see if the issue persists.

I think Bluewallet is currently not supporting Lightning Network anymore after making some changes, but there are other wallets like Electrum.

The point is valid but you're mentioning about the games that are truly addictive and have very high graphics and gameplay mechanics. The games like Pubg mobile, Free fire, Genshin impact, are created in a way that even kids enjoy playing those games. But, the games offered in this case aren't that much addictive and I have just played the Tetris game in the list and it's not even comparable to the Tetris games of the 1990's, and games such as this can't be addictive.

I must say that the best thing which I have noticed about the platform is that they're paying players some rewards in the form of Satoshi for their time. I know that the creator might earn a lot more from the ads, but still the idea is unique and the players who just love to play any game can spend their time on such games to generate some revenue.

This are great games and most of it I've played while coming up as a young boy, though not from THNDR though..
My favorite in all the games mentioned is bitcoin snake, I used to stay awake and play this game all though the night, as simple as the game is, it was one of the most interesting to play.

I will definitely look into this games, download and play and then come back with a better review of my experience.

[davis196]

I think that this topic doesn't belong to the Gambling forum, because it's about gaming, not gambling.
The players don't place bets on the platform you mentioned, they just play the games and earn really tiny awards.
The earning potential is so tiny that the players are basically wasting their time. Playing some boring games for hours only for the sake of getting the equivalent of 200 satoshi is a waste of time.
There's another crypto gaming platform called Rollercoin. You could play games there, earn a tiny amount and reinvest into "mining equipment". The website seems to be legit(according to some online reviews), but there are way better ways to earn money online.

Yes, you are right that this game is not a place for a source of income because the game to generate bitcoins is usually used as entertainment, nothing more than that, apart from draining the battery, it also requires the internet, but I think not only that, but also in terms of security, sometimes I always think about security. on this kind of game app.

There are many cases of coin theft where hackers access cellphones through an app on the cellphone, that's why I need to be careful about installing anything, except using a cellphone that doesn't have a crypto wallet in it or crypto wallet key information data because it will be dangerous in my opinion.

I have never even tried to play one of these games, I don't even feel interested in playing it.
I heard that this game has been around for a long time, even for TNDR itself, many of my friends have played it and they are very enthusiastic about playing it every day wherever they are when there is free time.
But everyone has their own pleasure so you can't have to follow what other people are doing.
Even though the game can generate Bitcoins, if there is no intention and interest first then it will only be in vain because there will definitely be boredom and boredom.

I would not agree with you, because I know how things are with faucets at the moment, and it is far from the fact that something cannot be collected on them if you have a strategy. I made my first BTC through faucets and I don't think it was a waste of time, especially since I saved and spent that BTC only when it increased in value x100.

As I already wrote, strategy is important - without talking about passive income (referrals) or being the owner of a faucet.

Yeah, you are completely right, a man's food  can be another man's poison , and it's completely normal for that is how human being are wired, if we were wired to all like the same thing, there won't be new inventions and lots of other options  to try out.

So like I like on my first comment, I indeed enjoyed playing snake 🐍 game on my small Nokia phone, ive not played it for the bitcoin reward yet, but my guess is that, the amount of bitcoin reward attached to the game is what will motivate those not playing it for fun, to keep playing or quit playing.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

I had these games shared on our local board several months ago and posted on the English board but was moved to micro earnings https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5420245.msg61266398#msg61266398, tried some games but it is not satisfying to play since most of these are bombarded with ads, although I understand that these ads are the ones keeping this game and the reward alive.  

The only good thing about those games is their free nature. You earn for playing, I know the earnings are very low but for some people those earnings are enough because they can enjoy playing the games. In the example of Tetris game they have hourly draw and I think they share around 1000 or 10000 Satoshi per hour for the players.

The earning isn't worth the time but the entertainment is.  It somehow gives a retro feeling whenever I played these games specially the Tetris and Snakes.

    -   It was last year, I thought this year was being launch, Meaning, this thread should be locked because you have already made this topic of sharing plays to earn. If it's just entertainment, it can be the games here.

But if I'm looking for a profit about Bitcoin, it's not worth it to play, because this kind of game will just eat and  waste your time instead of making other ways to get profit. These kinds of games are just the right to take a break and entertainment to keep you from getting bored.

Nobody should hold a fortune on their phone but people today are using them a lot more than computers and it is harder to prevent theft and losing of devices.
People should use strong password protection for phones and move more coins to cold storage.
What mobile wallets with support for Bitcoin and Lightning are you suggesting people should use?
