Play & Earn

Play games and earn money with Custard

Play mobile games and earn cash rewards through Custard! Choose a game from our library, follow the offer instructions, and complete the listed gameplay milestones.

Once your activity has tracked and approved, the reward is added to your Custard balance, ready to withdraw as cash as soon as you hit our £10 withdrawal minimum.

Creating a Custard account is free and available to UK residents aged 18 or over, and we’ve got heaps of puzzle games, merge games, hypercasual titles, and more to choose from.

How does playing games for money work?

Each game offer has its own reward ladder. Before starting, check the supported device, any new-player rules, the gameplay milestones, the deadline, and whether a particular step mentions an in-app purchase. The safest journey is:

1. Create a free Custard account
2. Choose a current game offer and check that you are eligible
3. Follow the link from Custard and install the game as part of the same journey.
4. Allow the tracking required by the offer—avoid VPNs, ad blockers, and iCloud Private Relay, as these can prevent your progress being tracked properly.
5. Complete one or more milestones within the stated time limit. Each milestone may credit a different reward.
6. Wait for Custard to validate the activity—RapidPay offers validate in as little as 48 hours.
7. Withdraw your rewards as cash once your balance hits £10.

You don’t need to complete every available milestone! Pick the games and milestones that suit your playstyle: go casual for a bit of extra cash, or lock in to max out all the available rewards.

Which games can you play for money?

Custard’s library includes puzzle, merge, strategy, idle, board, and casual mobile games, with iOS and Android options available. Examples include Coin Master Board Adventure, Pixel Flow, Merge Cat Cafe, Monopoly Bingo, Eatventure, and MONOPOLY GO.

Our library is updated regularly, so check back on this page or subscribe to email updates to find out when new play-to-earn offers are added. 

How much can you earn by playing games?

The amount you earn by playing games depends on the game and the milestones you complete, but some games have a total rewards ceiling of over £500.

Each offer card shows an “up to” total, made from several separate steps. That maximum is not a guaranteed result, and simply shows the total earned if all milestones are completed within their respective deadlines. Some milestones require in-app purchases, whereas others can be hit by simply grinding out levels. The latter may take a few hours of play to complete.

How do game rewards and withdrawals work?

Rewards get credited to your account once they have been validated with the relevant partner. It’s important that you avoid VPNs and ad blockers here, as they prevent us from checking the offer’s progress and validating it for you.

Once you’ve hit a milestone, the offer will show as “Validating” while we wait for the partner’s confirmation. It will then switch to “Completed” once verified, and then becomes payable according to the offer terms. It can take up to 3 hours for status updates here, but be sure to contact support if the progress isn’t tracking properly after that.

When your payable balance reaches £10, you can request a withdrawal to your own UK bank account or a PayPal account that matches the name on your Custard account.

Bank transfers normally take one to three days and PayPal payments two to four days. A RapidPay label means the reward can be validated and become withdrawable within two days.

Custard is a great place to start your play-and-earn journey: we’ve paid out over £1 million to our users, and we’ve earned an “Excellent” Trustpilot rating in the process. There’s a whole load more reasons to earn on Custard, too:

• RapidPay offers can be cashed out in as little as 48 hours
• Huge game library: merge games, puzzles, hypercasual games, and more
• New play-and-earn games added regularly
• Best-in-class customer service: we’re real people (not AI!) and we always try to help

Tips to make sure game rewards track

A few checks before installation can prevent most avoidable tracking problems:

• Start from the Custard offer link and complete the installation in the same browser journey.
• Check whether the offer is for new players only.
• Allow the tracking permissions named in the offer, and switch off VPNs, ad blockers, and iCloud Private Relay before starting.
• Record the install date, milestone, and completion evidence: screenshots can help if you need to raise a support ticket!
• Make sure you meet the deadlines for each individual offer in order to receive the rewards you’ve earned.
• Before contacting support, check your offer’s Terms & Conditions to see the expected tracking time. If it says 1-3 days, for example, wait until day four before reaching out.

Is playing games for money legitimate?

Yes! Play-to-earn gaming on Custard is completely legitimate, and we’ve paid out over £1 million to our users over the years. Don’t just take our word for it, though: we’ve earned our reputation, and we’re very proud of our Excellent 4.4/5 rating on Trustpilot.

Our partners pay us a commission when you complete milestones like downloading their game, and we share a portion of this commission with you.

Frequently asked questions

Can you really earn money by playing games?

Yes. Choose an eligible Custard game offer, complete a milestone and allow the activity to be tracked and validated. The approved cash reward is then added to your balance.

Are the games free to play?

Creating a Custard account is free and almost all of our games are free to play. Some reward tiers may mention an in-app purchase, so check the conditions for specific milestones.

How much money can I earn from a game?

Rewards ceilings vary by game, but you can earn up to £660 on some titles. However, this is a combined maximum for all milestones, not a typical outcome, and includes requirements for in-app purchases that will bring down your net earnings.

In terms of average earnings, many reviewers on Trustpilot report hitting the £10 withdrawal threshold within a week or two!

How does Custard pay me?

Once your payable balance reaches £10, you can request a withdrawal by bank transfer or PayPal. Your payment details must match your account details, so make sure you sign up with your real name and information.

How long does it take to receive a game reward?

Tracking and validation times vary by offer, but are typically around 1-3 days. After a payment request, bank transfers normally take one to three days and PayPal payments two to four days.

RapidPay offers can be paid out in as little as 48 hours from completion.

Do I need to be a new player?

Many game offers are limited to new players. Read the eligibility terms before installing, as a previous installation or existing account may make your activity ineligible for a reward.

Why has my game reward not tracked?

Common causes include starting outside Custard’s link, blocking tracking, using the wrong device, missing a deadline, or not meeting a new player rule. Check My Activity and the support guidance before raising a support ticket.

Who can use Custard?

Custard is available to UK residents aged 18 or over. Individual offers can add their own device, location, account, or new player conditions, so check each one of those separately.

Pick a game and start earning

Browse our game library, compare the milestones, and choose an offer that suits the kind of player you are. Create a free Custard account, start through the tracked link, and follow the offer terms from installation to validation in order to get paid. Good luck!
