List Of Games On Mistplay
Who doesn’t want to get paid for playing video games? This series follows mobile applications, some of which are borderline games at best, that claim to reward users with cold hard cash (or gift cards). In my pursuit of extra cash to blow on games, or Steam gift cards to add to my collection, I have tried a number of these applications. I hope my experiences can help others steer clear of the more dubious of these applications.
In the second article in this series, I will be taking a look at Mistplay, a free application released by Mistplay Entertainment in 2017. This application is not really a game itself, but more of what is known as a “loyalty reward” app. In a nutshell, you get points for playing various games through their platform, which can then be cashed out for gift cards.
Before anyone gets too upset about this not truly being a game, it does relate to gaming in that you can be paid to play games via applications like this. I wanted to cover these service apps first, so there would be something to reference in future Mobile Money articles about these games. So, on to the details about Mistplay.
Source: Mistplay. Mistplay is an app that pays you for playing games, and it has a 4.1 rating on the Google Play store. Unfortunately for Apple users, it’s only available on the Google Play Store, but iPhone users can join the iOS waiting list to be notified when it’s available. Mistplay lets you discover games you'll love, and earn rewards for playing. As you play games, you earn units. Then, you can redeem your units for awesome rewards, like gift cards to Amazon, Visa, and more! Plus, chat with your friends, enter weekly contests, and compete to rank in our leaderboards.
The first thing that you need to do after downloading this application is to create a profile. You don’t have to provide a lot of personal information to sign up, but you do need to provide an e-mail address and birthday, to validate that you are of legal age to use this application. You create a public user ID and choose an avatar from a selection of icons.
Introducing Mistplay, the app that lets you earn gift cards while playing games ⚡️💰🎮 1️⃣ Discover new mobile games that are curated just for you. 2️⃣ As you play, you'll earn units. 3️⃣ Redeem your units for gift cards to Visa, Amazon, the Google Play Store, and more!
When signing up, you are asked a couple of questions about game preferences, so it can suggest some games you may like to play. The main menu of Games, pictured above, is several lists of games organized by genre, new additions, popular games, or games currently giving bonus points for being played. You can pick one to start playing in order to earn rewards “units”.
The main way that you get rewarded for playing games in Mistplay is simply by spending time being active in a game. During play you earn “experience points” for that game, which are basically just a measure of how long you’ve been playing. When you spend enough time in a game, you “level up” earning units. Each game has 20 levels that you can earn points for, though each consecutive one takes longer to complete.
Different games pay out different amounts of units for gaining levels in them. You can get a rough idea of how many units a game pays, based on on the Units value on the game listing. To use the screenshot above as an example, War Eternal is offering the highest level of units, while Marble Dash is offering the lowest.
In addition to leveling up games, they typically offer achievements that can be completed for bonus units. For some reason, they seem to want to encourage people not to sleep and have an achievement for playing for an hour after midnight. I would also strongly advise against making any in-app purchases to complete achievements. If you are trying to earn money by playing games, then paying out money just does not make sense.
How Mistplay Creators Make Money. This app is free to download and still pays gamers for playing games on the platform but you might be wondering how the app owners make their own money. It's quite simple Mistplay is basically a game testing platform that allows video game developers to test run their games. As users of the app play games, they give feedbacks on how easy or difficult the. The frequency of new game arrivals varies greatly based on your geographic region. If you don't have many games in your library that's most likely because you're in a region where we've only started operating recently. If that's the case, don't worry, we're working really hard to get more games in your area.
Each week, if you play a game every day for at least 5 minutes you also earn a few bonus units. Finally, there is also a weekly contest where one user wins a large prize, usually 10,000 units. To enter the contest, you need to complete a set of requirements. These requirements are usually to play a new game up to level 5 or 6, get one new person to follow you on the app, and to play a certain game for at least 30 minutes.
So, what are units actually worth? A total of 1,500 points is worth about $5 in gift cards, but only if you get ones worth $10 or more; $5 gift cards cost 1,800 units – making them a worse purchase. So, if we divide 1,500 by $5.00, then each unit is worth about a third of a penny. At the time of this writing, the available gift cards are for Amazon, Google Play, Xbox, Game Stop, Apple, PlayStation, Starbucks, Ebay, Nintendo, or a pre-paid Visa card.
The next big question would be, how long does it take to earn 1,500 points? Playing somewhat casually, it takes about a month on average, at least in my experience. There are a number of factors that impact the rate at which you will earn units.
Mistplay gets paid by referring new players to applications. If you have previously played a game, then you will usually get almost no units, and achievements will be unavailable. The speed at which you can level up in games also continues to slow as you progress, meaning you earn points more quickly when starting off in a new game. I was unable to find a hard breakdown of time for each level, but I estimate going from level 11 to 12 takes about 2 hours of actively playing a game.
One item of note is that it tracks your progress in games by monitoring the activity on your phone. This may be a big negative for some more security conscious-gamers. The company site does have a list of terms and information about how they use information here.
Other than that, the application is well designed. The interface is professionally put together and simple to use. It also further makes using the app somewhat of a game-like experience, by having your account level up as you accumulate levels on various games. There is no sound to speak of that I noticed while using the app, though the sound is often turned off on my phone.
Overall, if you want to get paid to play games, I feel that Mistplay is a good option. It tracks your time spent in games well, the amount of points to earn a reward is reasonable (at least for services like this one), and it doesn’t have any annoying advertisements. Granted, the app itself is an advertisement for games. I give it a solid “B” grade, or 8.5/10 stars.
If you want to check out Mistplay, it is available from the Google Play store here. They do have a referral program, where you get 100 units for anyone that signs up from your link and gets up to player level 4. If you want to toss me 33 cents worth of a gift card, you can sign up using this link instead.
Mistplay is one of the most popular apps that pays you to play games. Yes, you can play games and make money in doing so. Now, the money won’t be life-changing, nor will it allow you to quit your day job, but it could be enough to buy dinner or two for the month.
If you love playing games and want to explore new titles, all while getting rewarded for doing so, it may be one to consider.
In today’s review, like all of my reviews, I dig in deep. I show you how you can sign up, how much money you can make as well as how the entire process works. In the end, I will share my honest thoughts, letting you know if it’s worth your time. As always, I would never promote something I personally wouldn’t use.
If you have an Android phone and you want to get paid to play games, then this is an app that may be worth downloading. Let’s dive in and see if it’s worth your time.
NOTE: As a fair warning, the app isn’t available for iOS devices just yet. I will update this when it is available. If you want to do so, they have an iOS waitlist if you want to be alerted first when the official app is available.
What is Mistplay?
Mistplay’s slogan is “the loyalty program for mobile gamers” and is said to be the first loyalty program for gamers. They have more than nine million users and is one of the fastest growing companies in North America. Leveraging the in-game data they collect from you while using the platform, their company can learn about your habits and recommend games you may enjoy. In using their app, they will reward you just for using it.
The app is operated by Mistplay Inc., a company based in Montreal, Quebec, with more than 11+ employees. They were founded in 2017. While the company didn’t talk much about themselves on its official website/app, I had to look through the privacy policy and then find more information about their operations on their LinkedIn page.
Is Mistplay Legit?
There’s no doubt the company is legitimate, but as I almost always say, just because the company is legit and pays, it doesn’t mean the product is good. That’s why I like to write these reviews.
Let it be known that they do pay out and they have a customer service staff that can answer any questions if need be.
Signing up for Mistplay
To sign up for Mistplay, they will ask you to either connect your Google or Facebook account.
I chose to link my Google account as I don’t use Facebook all that much and don’t feel comfortable connecting it to a third-party app. Whichever way you connect it, however, will lead you to the same questions thereafter.
After you connect, it will ask you for your birthday, your gender and to pick out an avatar. This is required. Aside from these simple questions, they ask you which games you like to play so that it can better match you with games that you will enjoy playing to earn rewards.
While this part is optional, it only takes 10 seconds and can help you enjoy the app even more, so I do recommend you at least click on a few games you like if you see it on the list.
When I signed up, they gave me a 200 unit bonus, but this isn’t guaranteed. I just wanted to point out that a bonus may be possible.
You must be at least 18+ years old and you cannot use a VPN to join. If you do, you will be blocked, no questions asked.
As for who can join, the app is available to residents in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore. It is 100% free to join.
Mistplay Dashboard and How it Works
After you join, you can immediately access your dashboard, which will look something like this…
The dashboard is self-explanatory, as you can see. You can view the arrivals, or in my case, since I like playing poker games, it showcased some apps that are similar to that of the World Series of Poker. You can continue to scroll down and view games by categories, such as single player, multiplayer, casino, etc. It continues for quite a while. The games are always changing, but if you search for a Mistplay games list, you should be able to find which games are out at the time. I did read reports, however, that some people do see different games than others, which are base don your gaming preferences.
At the very top, you will see four numbers as well.
Is Mistplay Worth It
The fire-like logo is your “Daily Play.” If you play for at least five minutes a day for seven days, you can get your bonus. When I had my app downloaded, I could earn 14 units.
The purple-like logo are your “game badges.” As you play games, you can unlock badges after you download the app. Every time you unlock a badge, you can earn even more units.
The yellow ticket are contest opportunities and you can join a contest if you follow the directions noted inside the app. For instance, while I writing this review, I could win 10,000 units if I installed an app and had at least one follower. In doing so, I could earn a maximum of two entries.
Lastly, your greenish number is the most important. These are what are known as your units and this is what you can exchange for rewards on the Mistplay store. As you play games, which I will get into next, you can earn points and shop via the “shop” button near the bottom. Later on, I will explore the rewards and get more into detail, but for now, let it be known that 400 points are worth about $0.50~.
How to Play Games and Earn Rewards
Now, to start making those “units,” you will want to click on a game of interest. But, before you do so, you will want to pay close attention to the game title as it will show you how many units you can earn as well as how much PXP you can earn as well. The more bubbles that are filled, the more potential there is to earn.
For instance, in that screenshot, the Solitaire Decked Out game only had a half of circle colored in, so the earning potential isn’t really there. However, in looking at the King’s Throne game, there were more than three bubbles colored in, so that could earn you much more.
To start earning rewards, it’s fairly easy. What you’re going to want to do is click on a game of interest and see what you have to do in order to earn these units.
So, in my example, let’s click on that Solitaire Decked Out game and see what it takes. Here’s what it says:
On this screen, I can view the rating, its PXP multiplier as well as what will take to earn “GXP.”
Explaining PXP, GXP and Units
Now, you’re probably wondering, what the heck is PXP, GXP and Units? I know, the terms are kind of annoying, but let me clear things here to make it easier.
GXP
Your GXP is what is known as game experience points. These are points that are rewarded to you as you log minutes played in the game. The longer you play a game, the more GXP you can earn. The more GXP you earn, the higher you level up in that game, in which can earn you units. Keep in mind that units are all that matter but GXP and PXP can help you earn these said units.
PXP

Your PXP is referred to as your player experience points. These points are based on your total player experience and can be earned to increase your player level. And, why does this matter, you may be wondering? Well, every time you do level up, you can earn units.
Units
And, lastly, your units, as explained, are your rewards. Picture it as the currency you can exchange for rewards, such as Visa prepaid cards, Amazon gift cards, etc. Whenever you play a game, you will want to check out your PXP multiplier to see how much you can earn. So, in that example above, I would earn a 0.5 multiplier on any points I earn. The higher the multiplier, the more you can earn.
How Much Can I Earn Playing a Game?
To start earning units, you will need to install the game and then follow the directions on the Mistplay page. In that example, it said that I would have to reach level 2 to earn more “units,” but it doesn’t tell me how many units I can earn. This seems to be the case in most games.
While I couldn’t find anything about earning units on the game, I had to dig deeper and try to play a game to see how much I could earn.
What I found is that after playing for a few minutes, I earned seven units for every level I passed in a slot game. Of course, these unit averages can vary depending on the game you play, so it’s hard to give a definite answer.
In the end, I don’t think you will make much, but it could be possible to net $1 to $2~ per hour playing games, maybe more if you unlock badges, etc.
Again, this isn’t life changing money, but if you wanted to play games, you might as well earn money doing it, right?
Mistplay Rewards
Once you earn enough units, you can cash out for a variety of rewards. At the time of writing this, Mistplay offered the following reward options:
- Amazon
- Virtual Visa Card
- Google Play
- Xbox
- GameStop
- PlayStation
- iTunes
- Starbucks
- eBay
- Nintendo eShop
These are subject to change, but they do not offer a PayPal option at this time.
Once you earn enough units, you can simply add the reward to your cart and confirm the email on file is correct. Once your order is placed, it can take up to 48 hours to be approved and sent out.
How Much Are Mistplay Units Worth?
Like many of the money-making apps I have researched in the past, it made sense to wait for a higher-valued prize as the point value seemed to increase.
For example, a $0.50 Amazon gift card would cost 400 units, making your units worth $0.00125, whereas a $25 Amazon gift card was 7,500 units, making your units worth $0.003.
So, depending on which gift card option you choose, your units will be worth anywhere from $0.00125 to $0.0033 each.
If you love playing games on your phone, then I don’t see a problem in downloading this app. They seem to offer a ton of options and it’s a great way to pass the time. Heck, if you want to try out a new game and you’re not picky, then why not get paid in doing so?
While you won’t get rich, you could earn about $10~ a week if you play aggressively, but it won’t be much no matter how much you play. As long as you have that mindset, it can make the app that much enjoyable.
For now, I leave it up to you.
