Play games for money: how game rewards work
You don't get paid by the hour for playing. A game publisher sets a goal — reach a level, finish a chapter, unlock a building — and rewards the players who get there. Quest Reward lists these goals from our partners and credits your points once the publisher confirms.
Why publishers pay players
Studios spend heavily to find players who stick around. Paying for a player who reaches level 20 is more useful to them than paying for an install that's deleted a minute later. That's why the reward depends on a goal, and why deeper goals pay more.
Before you install
Read the goal, the time limit and the eligible devices. Estimate honestly how long the goal will take you. Pick games you'd actually enjoy — it's the best way to reach the goal.
Fair play
Emulators, bots, multiple accounts and VPNs are detected by publishers and void the rewards. Play normally on your own device.

Frequently asked questions
Do I get paid for the time I play?
No. Rewards are tied to goals, not time. Two players can reach the same goal at very different speeds.
What is a multi-step game offer?
Some games pay in stages: a first reward at an early goal, then more at later levels. Each step is shown with its own reward and is credited separately.
Why wasn't my progress credited?
The most common causes: the game was already installed before, the offer's time limit passed, a VPN was active, or tracking was blocked. Always start the game from the offer link and read its conditions first.
How much is a game reward worth?
Each offer shows its points. The conversion is fixed: 1,000 points = €1.
How long does it take to reach a goal?
It varies by game and by player. Read the goal and time limit shown on the offer and judge honestly whether you can reach it in time.
