I found this wave of games paying via Pix that’s growing in Brazil interesting. I started testing some of these apps and there are definitely some that work, but most require patience.

For those just starting out, Cash App is practically the only one that pays directly through Pix. Others like CashPirate, Make Money, and Toloka pay via PayPal first, then you transfer to Pix. It’s not complicated, but it takes extra time.

I tested Make Money for a few months – it’s really simple, just do daily check-ins, download some partner apps, and complete tasks. AppKarma also works well, but the earnings are quite slow. If you want something faster, Big Time has sweepstakes with bigger prizes, but that’s more luck than guaranteed.

Toloka is different – it’s not a traditional game, it’s tasks like classifying images or answering surveys. It pays in dollars, and the amount is well defined for each task. I liked this because you know exactly how much you’ll earn.

Now, about expectations: these apps won’t make you rich. They’re good for extra income, like 50-100 reais per month if you’re consistent. Gamee and Cash Alarm have even slower earnings.

The biggest caution is not to fall for fake apps. The ones I listed here really pay, but there are many scams out there. Before installing anything, check Reddit or Brazilian groups that have already tested them.

This wave of games paying via Pix is more of a way to earn some change while you’re on the bus or waiting for something, you know? It doesn’t replace a fixed income in any way. But if you’re looking to supplement a few reais a month, it’s worth testing.
