Playwell is just like the other large amount of game apps. You get recommended games, you install the games, play for 15 minutes, at least of the game, get coins per goal or milestone and then you get those coins to add up and hopefully get to a decent or fair payout. Playwell is in the 50% of these types of apps that will allow you to withdraw to your Paypal account. A large number of these game apps tend to only do payments through giftcards which take longer to get or you don't get at all.
What makes this game funny or worth me installing and writing about, is that this game was chosen by me because of their Ad campaign. This game app is one of those which has an actor or actress say things like "if you don't win money within the first 3 minutes of gameplay, delete the fake game". They trick you with this game because when you first install it, they go right to a bonus amount of coins and then go through the steps to send it to your paypal, which it does. I did get the 10 cents that it sent me. But then....... it is forever.
So I downloaded some Bermuda adventures game. You get energy, use the energy to chop down trees or mine rock, use the resources to build things and then use more energy to harvest stuff and so on and so on. One of the milestones from Playwell was to at level 10 in the game where you would earn like 100,000 coins. So, I spent the last week weeks grinding this game and many others from the app. Playing a ball sorting game, a casino game and a bingo game to get me the most coins I could get. Finally getting to level 15 in the Adventure game, I was awarded with 500,000 coins and finally reached the 900,000 minimum needed to get a $5 paypal.
I was so happy and went to the reward screen and when I tried to withdraw the $5, I was given a message indicating that I needed to be level 20, in the app, to withdraw anything more than $1 a day. How do I get to level 20? Well, logging in every day will get me about 20 exp, playing a game for 15 minutes a day will get me 20 exp, and so forth.... but ended with me only able to get 120 points a day. Now, I could get way more points, if I spend money in the games, but if you are trying to get money, why waste it. Basically, everything that the ads tell you, for their own game, are fake.
Pros:
- You play a variety of games, so it doesn't feel bland
- You can withdraw $1 for 200,000 coins
Cons:
-You have to spend money or play this app full time, 7 days a week, in order to get to the ability to withdraw a $5 amount.
My take-away? I had earned 927,000 coins and because I am not allowed to withdraw it as $5 for 900,000 coins, I am instead using the $1 withdraw for 200,000 coins. So, my money isn't stuck on this app, like many other apps where if you don't get that next amount, you can't withdraw. I am using the loophole of the $1 buy. Yeah, I might have to play another 15 minutes of a game to get over that next hump, but cashing it all out an earning about $5 through slow, daily, $1 withdraws still gets me my money.
