Moola.com is a site where you can earn money playing games. There are four main games: Hi-Lo, in which you and your opponent bet on whether or not the next flipped card will be higher or lower than the last; Ro-Sham-Bo-Fu, which is rock-paper-scissors with a twist; Gold Rush, a game that involves betting pieces of gold hoping to end up with the highest total (this one is my favorite); and Charity Cash Cow, which is a virtual slot machine that has a progressive jackpot that is split between a charity and a lucky user.
So, how do you make money? Before you play a game, you place a bet. If you win, you get your wager back, in addition to your opponent’s. You double your money. Do not worry, it’s not really your money (yet). Moola actually gives you a penny to start. At first, you will be dealing with tiny amounts, literally, pennies. However, hypothetically, if you won 30 games in a row, doubling your original penny 30 times, do you know what that is? Over 10 million dollars!
Of course, no one has actually reached that level because all of the games are at least partially dependent on luck, which means there’s a chance you will lose. The good thing is, when you feel like you have won an amount that you do not want to risk losing, you can transfer your money to a savings account from which you are unable to withdraw. If that account reaches $10, you can cash out: Moola will actually send you a check! (It’s true; I’ve seen it.) Also, if you happen to lose all your ”moola” and find yourself back at zero, Moola will give you another free cent.
The skeptics are asking, “Where is Moola getting all this money?” Well, there is a catch.
“Ha!” they exclaim, assuming a user might have to sign away her life or give blood in exchange for the free money. No, that’s not it. Before playing a game, a user has to watch a 10 to 15 second advertisement and answer a question to prove he or she actually watched it. That’s not so bad, right? Moola sustains itself with these ads and in turn has been able to give out over 8 million dollars!
