You know that talk about making money by playing? Well, I’ve tested several apps that promise to pay via Pix, and I’ll tell you what actually works. It’s not to get rich, but it provides a decent extra income if you’re patient.

Most don’t pay directly through Pix; they go through PayPal first, which is a bit annoying. But there are some that are more straightforward. For example, Cash App releases withdrawals faster. Then there’s Make Money, AppKarma, CashPirate – these are well-known. They make you download apps, answer surveys, play mini-games. Nothing extraordinary, but it works.

What I found interesting was Toloka. It’s not a traditional game; it’s more micro-tasking, but it pays properly. And Big Time has raffles with bigger prizes, but that’s kind of a lottery.

Now, for real: these money-making games that pay via Pix won’t replace your salary. I earn about 50-100 reais per month if I stay consistent, nothing special. The time you invest has to be worth it. And some people fall into traps, download shady apps, and end up with viruses. So be careful.

If you want to try, start with the most well-known: Cash App, CashPirate, Make Money. But go in with low expectations. The good thing is that some of these apps that pay real Pix actually pay, unlike a lot of scams out there that are just fake.

And if you’re looking for something more serious, like real investing, that’s a different story. But for quick extra income, these apps work. Just don’t put too much faith in them.
