Is this really possible? I’ve been looking into ways to increase what I earn online and of course, this would grab my attention since I love playing games. Is this really a way to make money or not?

It depends because most gaming sites I’ve seen either have a jackpot that you could win or you earn points to buy gifts. Moola.com is about the only one I know that offers you cash when you win. Of course, you start out with a penny and must win many games in a row to have a nice amount.

I’m not sure the market research really shows online game portals as a profitable way to advertise. So you can win money but just not at lot and not often. Most online games have a jackpot, so if you’re lucky enough to win, then you can earn money. If you don’t win, at least you earn tokens that are good for prizes.

Since I’m researching ways to make money online this summer, I will have to dig deeper into making money by playing games. It does sound really enticing as long as it’s not a jackpot sort of setup but actual cash for playing.

Pogo.com used to be one of my favorite online gaming communities. Then I started enjoying the downloaded casual games more instead of playing them online. I guess my old age is catching up with me since games installed on my PC are bigger and easier to play. Still, I miss some of the games, so I thought I would check them out again. Am I glad I did!

I found a real gem in Scrabble Blast. It’s a word game as you probably guessed from the title. In the main game you have 100 letters to make as many words as you can. Tiles must touch, so you have to build chains. You are scored on the actual Scrabble value of each letter.

I have been playing a lot of computer Scrabble lately and really enjoy it, so finding a word game with a Scrabble theme is right up my alley. Too bad Big Fish doesn’t carry this title as I would love to use a game credit to buy it.

Sometimes it pays to click links that you aren’t sure of what exactly it might be. But this link was on Big Fish games, so I trusted it. It’s a link to Atlantis, Big Fish Games online community. You can play games online. It looks interesting and might be a better way to play games against other people than having to run CAT6 cable throughout your house.

I have 500 tokens, so it looks like I will be playing some online games soon. I hope that our satellite Internet connection can handle it. There are some games that I haven’t noticed before on their main website like Unwell Mel, Mush, and Riddle O’day.

You can play ad free for $2.50 a month. You can win prizes like cash or games. The address is atlantis.bigfish.com.

Now here is a free online game that not only is surprisingly fun but addicting as well. It’s called TypeRacer and you can practice your typing skills while competing with others.

What slows me down is mistakes. You have to fix them before you can go on to the next word. I’m not a fast typist as my fingernails get in the way. You can even put in on your My Space page or other social networking site to challenge your friends. It’s a fun, fast game and a great time waster.

One classic board game that will be popular until the end of time is Chess. It’s a game for two players that requires strategy and patience.

I’m a huge trivia buff. I love trivia games and taking trivia quizzes on the Internet. Couple that with a love of sports and I have found a nice sports trivia community. You can take the sports trivia test that is made up of user submitted questions. The quizzes are in category by sport. I did think I knew a lot about sports until taking one of the quizzes.

Some trivia is more obscure than other facts. This can make it more challenging, and you can get to learn some new facts. I don’t mind hard trivia as it just means more when I actually get some of them right. TriviaFix.com has trivia in several popular sports like hockey, basketball, baseball, and football. You can sign up with them to keep tally of your score. There are also monthly prizes to those sports trivia gods who do really well the whole month.

After signing up with Trivia Fix, you can invite your friends to join you. You can play together as a team. What is a sports game without a team anyway? Since all questions come from users, you can submit questions to be added to the mix. On the stats page, you can see the percentage of people who have gotten your question right. Some questions that you thought might be easy might be a bit more challenging. The stats will reveal all.

Players earn points for answering trivia questions correctly. If you view another player taking the lead, then you can challenge them. Simply submit the question you would like to see them answer, then wait to see if they are up to the challenge.

Much like sports in general, Trivia Fix is a challenging and competitive way for sports fans to “get into the game.” Answer questions, challenge players, and develop a team, then get to answering those trivia questions for a chance to win some prizes.

I want to learn more about investing in the stock market in a safe environment where I don’t lose any money. That’s why I was so glad to learn about MyWallSt.net.

It’s called the rookie challenge and each week a rookie player wins the $1000 prize. Each player begins with a portfolio of $100,000 to invest how they so choose. The rookie player with the highest percentage gain in their portfolio is the week’s winner.

I will officially began playing tomorrow then the market is open again. Each day at the end of trading, stats are configured and are viewable in your profile so you can see exactly how you are doing. I’m looking forward to taking part in the rookie challenge not only for the chance to win some real cash but a chance to learn more about investing.

MyWallSt.net combines social networking and online gaming, taking real quotes of stocks and market values to make up game data. I love the social network aspect since you can view other people’s profiles and learn something about investing from your peers. I remember in high school playing the stock market game with pen and paper. Now this method is much cooler and easier. Best of all, it’s free and takes less than five minutes to sign up and confirm your account.

I can’t wait to get started. Hopefully I can take first place in the rookie challenge. If not, I hopefully will learn a little something about investing while playing the game.
