I found it interesting this recent boom of games that pay money directly to Pix lately. I tested a few, and I’ll be honest: it’s not that treasure hunter gold they promise, but you can make some extra cash if you know what you’re doing.

I started with Make Money and AppKarma, which are pretty simple — basically download apps, play a little, answer surveys. Withdrawals are via PayPal and then sent to Pix. It takes a bit, but it works. CashPirate also pays, but it’s slower. There are some that promise lotteries like Big Time and Gamee, but those are more like gambling.

Cash App is the most straightforward if you want to withdraw instantly via Pix, no need for that PayPal middleman. But most apps that pay real money directly to Pix usually go through PayPal anyway.

Toloka is different — it’s not a classic game, it’s more like tasks, but it pays better than the others. You classify images, answer silly questions, those kinds of things. Each task shows how much it earns. I found it more reliable than wasting time on mini-games.

My advice? Don’t expect to get rich. These games that pay money directly to Pix are just extra income, like 50-200 reais per month if you do it consistently. But some things aren’t worth it — lotteries are illusions, and some apps take too long to pay out.

If you want something more serious, it’s better to go for investing. With a decent platform, you can access stocks, crypto, those things — and then you have a bigger potential. But that’s a different level of risk and commitment.
