Here follows a concise guide for working apps which includes African countries. Believe it or not, African countries are excluded from certain apps. Only working apps for African residents will be reviewed.

  1. Money Well

This app is quite straight forward. It lists games which can be played to earn points. These points can be exchanged for currency based on your country. Points range from minimum to maximum pay out. Please note that a PayPal account is required to receive the your withdrawal. Multiple games are allowed, but the points per minute decreases after frequent use. Not to fret, the app suggests new games at regular intervals.

Pro tip: This app does not measure progress, but the total amount of time played. There for, your game can be left open while doing menial tasks. Samsung’s gaming app works well, as your screen is locked but not off and allows the game to run.

2. Bling Games

Together with the rise of technology, cryptocurrencies has been on a steady boom as well. You can now earn real Bitcoin by playing the companies set of games. These games are linked by one Gmail account, where you can build your balance with all of their games. This is quite a unique feature that differs from its competitors. Please note Coinbase account is required to withdraw and convert your points into Bitcoin. The build-up can take a while to achieve a reasonable amount, but for an avid gamer, it’s small hurdle.

Pro Tip: Do not withdraw the minimum for one or two games but build from all 6 games. Pay out occurs every 7 days after the previous pay out run.

3. Crypto Games

This brand of games work similar to Bling’s games, but with a passive offline feel. You collect your rewards in the form of crystals and mini games. Buy crates which contain the games’ blockchain currency Phoneum (PHT) which can be converted to Tron cryptocurrency. The minimum withdraw amount is 15000 PHT. Other cryptocurrencies can also be found, but at rare intervals. Please note you require a separate wallet, Klever, as all crypto wallets are not equal. These games are great addition to fully utilize time in a passive manner.

Pro Tip: Build up a big amount of crystal, as opening crates in a consecutive manner yields more rare rewards like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The rarest crate also offers more Phoneum.
