Rollercoin has been a quite popular game in the play to earn genre. The game rewards players with many different, well-known coins such as ETHEREUM, BITCOIN and even MATIC or SOLANA. This game sounds too good to be true and unfortunately to those aspiring Rollercoin players, it might be true.
What is Rollercoin:
Rollercoin is a play to earn mining simulator game. Players can purchase their native token, RLT, with other cryptos. To earn, players have to simply buy miners with RLT or play games for power. The earnings are distributed in "blocks" and based on the player's ranking on the leaderboard will determine how much they earn from each block. Block rewards are distributed every ten minutes to players high enough on the leaderboard. The top players on the leaderboard earn around 5-10$ worth of crypto every day passively. This game sounds very promising and it is probably encouraging you to get started right away, but first you must learn the harsh reality of this game.
The reality of Rollercoin:
As said previously, yes top players make around 5-10$ worth of passive crypto every day, but there is an untold truth. Usually a player on average makes pennies of the dollar even with good miners. The price of miners isn't cheap either, costing around 2.50$ for the cheapest miner possible. Even if you invest around 400$ for the best miners in the shop, it would take FOREVER to get your ROI (Return on investment) back. I personally was fooled by this false perception and I bought the cheapest miner possible in the shop for 2.6 RLT(2.50$) and now I am only earning 0.00000138 MATIC each 10 minutes, making my ROI almost impossible to earn back.
Can you start Rollercoin for free?
Yes. Well at least that's the short answer. To start for free, you would need to grind on the season pass and complete game quests to collect XP and claim pass rewards. You can only claim 1 out of every 3 prizes out of each tier and the rate of earning XP is also terrible. To earn around 35 XP per day you would need to win at least 80 games to claim that much XP. If you are thinking that the XP amount to rank up is small, then you would be wrong. It takes 100 XP each tier to rank up in the season pass. The free to play rewards are also terrible in comparison to the event pass rewards. Even if you somehow manage to reach around tier 20 in the pass, you will only be earning around 0.00001c a day if you mine MATIC and probably zero if you mine any other coin with the free miners in the pass. So in the end, yes, it is possible to start as a free to play player, but is it really worth your time and effort?
Conclusion:
I highly recommend you to never even invest your time and money into this game. Even though this game pays you and allows you to earn, it is a waste of your time and money that could be used to do other valuable things. As said earlier, the ROI is absolutely terrible and don't expect to get a ROI back once you put your money into this game.
