So, have you guys noticed this wave of Pix-based gaming that exploded around here? Yeah, after Pix took off, some apps promising extra income appeared, and it's a joke. But real? I tested a lot of things and I'll be honest: it does pay, but not that easy money they promise.

I started with Make Money because it's really simple. You download it, check in every day, test some random apps, complete small tasks. The balance accumulates in dollars and then you withdraw via PayPal to transfer to Pix. It takes a little while, but it works. Then I tested AppKarma, which is similar, but here you can also get gift cards if you want.

Now, if you want something more straightforward, Cash App is kind of the only one that pays directly to Pix. Surveys, games, simple tasks. Very practical for those who want to avoid the long PayPal-Pix route.

There are some more interesting ones like Big Time, which works with sweepstakes. The prizes are bigger, but then you're betting on luck. I also tested Toloka, which isn't a game in the classic sense, but it's really gamified. You do micro-tasks (classify images, answer questions) and each has its value. Surprisingly reliable.

CashPirate is quite well known, simple interface, recurring payments. Gamee has some cool mini-games if you like that kind of thing. And there's Premise focused on quick tasks, FeaturePoints which is more complete, Cash Alarm which pays slowly but steadily, Easy Bucks with various earning options.

Now I'll be honest: none of these apps replace a salary. But how about playing via Pix to earn some extra cash? It works. You won't get rich, but you accumulate some change. The trick is to have patience and realistic expectations. Anyone thinking they'll make 5 thousand a month playing will be disappointed.

The easiest to withdraw via Pix remains Cash App. The others you withdraw via PayPal and then convert. Some require a minimum amount to withdraw, others are more relaxed. It depends on the app.

My tip: don't put any hope in this as a main income. Use it as a supplement. And before starting any Pix-based game, check if the platform really pays, don't fall for those that promise but keep stalling.
