It is totally fraud 🤥

Is it a scam? Not sure about it. After many non-paying surveys, for prequalification purposes, I received a dozen of invitations for games. But even after only 10 minutes, the slots have always been filled. I asked twice their support for explanations, but their answers were not credible.

This is a pick-who-they want to pay system. I tested the so-called play test and on one i didn't say a word and was paid $9. I talked on the next three and was not paid and the last one did by the book and did not get paid. i think they have a lot of testers and they can only pay so many. but they use all of them or at less try to. i also think if you play the game and they don't or can't hear you they should pay half because YOU STILL TESTED THE GAME. Of course i think they know that

I was initially very excited and eager to test out their services and did my playtest for a game and provided my recording for reviewal. Needless to say, I never received a single invite for a Playtest. Highly dissapointed, as they never tried to provide any feedback as to why, or what I could do to improve my reviews. (also unsure how long I have been registered, I may have had the account for approx 2 years)

I would put a higher rating, but after so long I give up. Good luck ahead.

I have been using this service a few months now, I've tested a few games and done a few surveys.

Only 1 game test I didn't get paid for and that was due to sound quality of my headphones, there was alot of cracking.

I understand why I didn't get paid for this playtest.

Generally I've had a really positive experience I've been paid out pretty fast usually within a day and paid directly to my PayPal after I choose my payment method.

Games vary between 30 minutes and a few hours.

All payment rates have been reasonable and around the minimum wage for my area.

Only one survey I haven't been paid for but it was just before the holidays so I expect a longer delay in getting the payment.

I have been getting new tests and surveys on a weekly basis.

I will continue to use this service as I get try exciting new games and get paid for it.

I am currently a tester for this company and they have been up and down for the first year or so, it took some serious time until they started sending surveys every 1/2/3 days which are at a first come, first server basis, if you're not fast, you won't get in, there is limited slots per survey/game test, people need to realise that this is a testing company, it's not going to be fully consistent, it's as per and when. I am more than happy with their surveys and questions, the playtests are thorough, require minimum effort and all they ask for is a small criteria, they were very inconsistent at first, but over time they can and will bring more opportunities your way if you're willing to show them you're going to give them results, I was luckily interviewed by (I think) capcom, I was video interviewed and was rewarded for an hour's conversation, not test, conversation about the Resident Evil series, which I am quite a fan of, and I cannot be more proud of it. People need to stick to their guns and be quick, give effort and results in their tests, only then they would be given more opportunities moving forward. Fact.

Never received a play test or payment for anything but was constantly giving out data in surveys then hearing nothing.

I did game testing for around 2 years with this company.
Is it legit? Yes they do pay you to test games.
Is it a lot? No, it's not a lot of money. Nor is it worth your time if you're doing it for money. I just liked playing the games. However, they like to play games themselves.
On the first time they didn't pay me. I thought okay, maybe it's my fault.
The other 2 times I made sure to check every block. I noticed they don't like to pay you for being too critical of the game. They send over absolute garbage games and want a good review that's says it's good and you should not change anything. The excuse they'll give is that I didn't do a survey or didn't do something else even though I had proof.

I now play games for a company that plays games via console it's a lot better and pays substantially more. They have some strict NDAs but worth it. .
I'd stay away from Playtest Cloud.

Det er meget svært at lave en profil der inde og man kan ikke gøre det hvis man er 15 eller under jeg ved ikke om man kan hvis man er over 15 men det er meget æveligt fordi jeg vil gerne tjæne nogle penge

I signed up for playtest cloud 16 days ago and have already made a lot of money. You literally play games (entertainment), then say your thoughts and opinions, its that easy.

I’m really enjoying this at the moment I done my first game test it was good I used my headphones and I was giving my opinion on the game within 3 hours of me stopping playing I had $11 in my PayPal account

PlaytestCloud is legit. They do pay you for doing their tests. However, there has been times when they had not paid me. When I did emailed them about it, they will have excuses saying that either they couldn't hear me talk, I didn't complete a survey, video didn't upload, etc. I've even sent them a screenshot of a game issue but they still refused to pay. Based off these comments, I'm not the only one they did this too.

Similar to others before me, but I will say: they took me in fora test, I did it, trying to give best feedback, both technical and emotional, uploaded the video. After I was going to city and receive an email where they were saying "you are not eligible for playtesting" and "we can't provide any information about our choosing parameters"

I wrote them an email asking for explanation but they still didn't answer.

This is my experience so far.

I will update if this changes

This company is a JOKE. Want you to test games, and then come up with every excuse to not pay you. Says my voice was muffled.

After months of waiting I finally got a game test. They say you have to play for an hour and talk. I played and talked. There was no timer so I actually played longer than I got paid for and then they didn't pay me. So I worked for them for over an hour and answered surveys and then didn't get paid a cent.

They will find every reason not to pay. I played for an hour a horrible game game checked the recording was fine now they telling me my headphones not working.

They won't pay even if you fulfill the contract. I have tested 4 games and only was paid for 1. They keep saying I'm not talking enough, but I spoke throughout the time. Not all players talk for an hour straight. I played and reacted authentically. There is no constructive criticism and no way to get feedback through the process. I do other studies for others and get compensation. I am now feeling that they are taking my data, still using it and not paying for the data. Don't waste your time.
