Welcome to my 2048 Cards review.
A few weeks ago, I decided to review a game very similar to this one. It was an okayish game; however, when it came to paying out, there was no surprise to see they didn’t.
Ever since then, I have noticed some developers have made their own adaptations of the game 2048 that was released back in 2016, and today I will be checking out another one of them called 2048 Cards.
I will tell you in advance there are some pretty big similarities between this game and others already released; however, does this one actually give out, or will they leave you regretting your choice to install it.

What Is 2048 Cards?
2048 Cards is a game that is an adaptation of a widely popular 2048 game that was released years ago.
In this game it featured you moving blocks of the same number and multiplying them.
The aim was to reach 2048, which, while seems simple, was tricky since you would have to be careful not to run out of room.
Back then, it consisted of a grid, similar to the photo below:
It’s still the same concept just instead of swiping tiles. You are shooting balls instead.
On paper, it sounds like a great game; however, if this is the first of this kind of game that you have come across, you might be unaware of other similar games out there.
For the purpose of this 2048 Balls Shoot review, I went ahead and played the game, going through a number of the levels.
And straightaway, I noticed identical aspects which reminded me of 2048 Balls Merge.
As we go through this review, I will explain exactly the aspects that have been copied.
How Do 2048 Cards Work?
When you launch the game, you are taken through some tips on how the game works.
So what you will have is similar to the image below, with some cards at the bottom with numbers on them.
From here, your goal is to drag them into the queue at the top and combine them together.
It follows a popular trend of merging games with ones I have reviewed such as:
With the image above, you will see I have a number of cards in each queue.
Now, if you look at the second column, for e.g., I have a 32 card at the bottom, and my next card is also 32.
If I put them together, that will make 64, which will cause the number above to double to 128, 128 to 256, and so on.
You get the idea.
So it’s all about merging numbers and getting closer to that 2048 number.
As you keep on merging numbers, you will also earn XP; this is found above the four queues.
Earning XP will level you up to the next level.
Before I go into the next section of the 2048 Cards review, let’s talk about the tools.
These help you if you become stuck.
On the bottom left corner, you will see ‘Universal’ and ‘Cut.’
Using cut will cut a card out of the deck. This is useful if you misplace one.
Universal gives you a card that merges with any number (like the image above).
How To Make Money With 2048 Cards?
How you make money is very similar to the other 2048 game I mentioned earlier.
Within about one minute, you will get a PayPal $3 card rewards credited to your balance.
After that, you get money randomly for merging cards and clearing queues.
You don’t repeatedly get $3 mind you as after that. You get smaller amounts to keep you playing longer.
Not only that but some rewards in order for them to be added to your balance, you must watch an advert.
One of the gripes I have with these apps is that while they all say you can earn, you never know what your going to get.
It’s not like completing surveys or doing gpt tasks as you don’t know how much your getting for your time.
This is why most users who play games like 2048 Cards just keep playing until they have enough to cash out.
The thing is that it can be neverending as you don’t know how long it will take.
How Do They Pay?
In total, there are two ways to redeem rewards using 2048 Cards, which I will go over now.
Redeeming PayPal
In the first 5 minutes, I had already accumulated $7.83.
But if you have played the game for a while, you will likely have between $150 and $190.
I was given a lot and had only had it for a few minutes, but just by playing it for an hour or two, you can get a good amount.
When you consider a full-time salary is around $11, its not too bad.
Where the catch is that, you can earn money really easy earlier on, but until you have the right amount to cash out, it’s basically worthless.
This is why there are thousands of people who have money on their accounts but will likely never get paid it.
If you click on the PayPal icon at the top, you will see this pop-up.
It doesn’t look the most professional, but as it says for me, it says to play the game to earn more dollars until you have at least $200 to cash out.
I won’t be putting in the time with 2048 Cards mainly because of past experiences with apps like this.
But from doing more research, there seems to be no info on how long it takes to get paid.
Using Your Coins
The second way that you can get paid is by using coins.
Coins are rewarded similar to cash; you get given it at random times.
I found I got the most when I merged multiple cards in a row.
Now anyway, the conversion for these is for every 22400 coins earned; you get $1.
But you will need more than that to withdraw since the lowest amount available is $5.
This requires 140,000 coins, and you can get either:
- PayPal
- Amazon
- Google Play
- iTunes
- Steam Wallet
- Playstation Network
- Xbox Live
This is very similar to what is offered in Dice World. Now rewards can vary depending on what currency you wish to receive it in as there is a drop-down supporting other countries.
What I Am A Fan Off
1. Consistent Until $199
You may be thinking why am I getting money so easily; however, as soon as I am 4 cents away from a payout, I ain’t getting a single cent.
This is not a coincidence as too many games do this; they give out all this money, which seems like for free; however, once you’re close to getting that long-awaited payout, you find it impossible to earn the amount needed.
The reason for this happening is pretty clear, and that is these apps have put systems in place to prevent users from earning a certain amount.
Its a bit like if the lottery gave people ten numbers to choose from, and each person got to pick five numbers, a lot of people would likely guess all of the numbers.
Now, if it was legitimate like the lottery is, then everyone would get paid fairly. However, that is not the case with these apps.
2. Similar 2048 Games Don’t Pay
I understand that this is a new game, by what I believe is a different developer.
However, if you take the time out to read not only my other reviews but also the reviews of others.
It will make you question whether or not you will get paid, as no one seems to do.
And what I mean by that is I am yet to come across a clear payment proof that a user has genuinely been sent.
I can only imagine this one is the same, and with $200 needed, it likely means even more frustration for the users.
Now you may get to $150; however some people don’t understand that until that money has been deposited to you, it means nothing.
You could have a balance of $9999, but if the minimum threshold is $10,000, then technically, the app has no reason to payout.
Often these games do mention in the terms that currency can’t be converted to actual money.
So its also worth going over the terms of games along with reading what other people have to say, as that can save you a lot of time.
2. Earning $1150
This 2048 Cards review wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t cover the advert.
The advertising used by this app is likely a big reason for so many players surging to play it.
I can see why since it says you can make $1150 playing the game.
It literally shows someone making tons of money in a short space of time.
As you can imagine, this is far from a correct reflection of 2048 Cards.
If you have been following up to now, you would have noticed how I have not even mentioned a number in the thousands.
That is because it’s not possible to cash out such an amount.
You will accumulate many small $1’s and $2’s here and there, but that won’t get you to a grand.
Heck, you likely won’t get to the minimum threshold; it’s just how these games work.
They draw you in by claiming you can make the money you have been hoping to get.
Then hours later, of grinding the game, you are nowhere near the amount advertised.
Even more importantly, no payment has come through by the app. This will be the case with 2048 Cards and other games of its kind.
Conclusion
2048 Cards is a nice game; however, the fact that so many games of its type don’t pay out does not put you in good faith.
So unless you want to be in the same position and be left stressing because you cant earn the remaining dollars for a reward, I would stay far away from this game.
There are apps like this one, if you browse through my site, you will see so many that I have reviewed that operate in the same way, but you will also find legit ones.
These are the ones that will give you the most for your time; here is a list of 10 money-making apps plus a list of games that have been proven to payout.
You can also have a little gander through these rewards sites, too, if something like watching videos and doing surveys for cash interests you.
Thank you for reading my 2048 Cards review, and if you do have any comments let me know below.
Pops Connect Review: Are They Real?
I still can not retrieve my $ from 2048 cards? I have earned $223.00 but can not figure out how to get it on paypal ?
That is interesting as it looks like you have surpassed the minimum threshold. What does it say when you press the cash out button? I can only assume it doesn’t let you.
Mine says i can only cashout then i have $ 1000 … I don’t have options to cash out lower than $1000
They do this Chantelle to encourage users like yourself to play for hours so that they can generate revenue. They don’t actually have any plans on paying you out if you reach it tho, so don’t worry too much if you cant reach the amount as you arent missing out.
Josh 🙂
Mike here I have 2900 in PayPal card supposed since December 2nd2000have yet to receive any money three cards say they’ve succeeded started with 7 to 15 days when that finished it said 72 hours in addition the format changed now has72 hours cards actually with countdown on them it does a yellow one when that’s finished it turns red countdown an additional 72 hours saying pending when that timer goes away it says success I’ve been waiting a week and PayPal has yet to show the payments made tried contacting the game no reply persistence pays off I guess or not I’ll let you know Next time I will send pictures if requested of the PayPal cards CoolKool peace out
It’s bs false advertising first game I ever played in it’s a joke
I’ve got up to $199.80 an now it want let me play anymore
I’m up to $498.89 but have to earn 8000 points before I can get it. How the f#&k do I find out how to get the points? Grrt
I’m not sure why but Google play reviews are apparently private and can only be seen by the developer not by the public (ie us) which doesn’t seem to be a good start I thought it was going to be a typical scenario where you seemingly accumulate money often but when you get close to the cash out amount they stop paying out so you can never reach the amount especially when it showed the minimum cash out was $200 and you had to meet requirements of playing for a certain amount of days, having a certain amount of of points and using a certain amount of props (the higher the amount you want to cash out the more the requirements) however I managed to cash out $300 it says before cashing out delivered within 72 hours definitely works but when actually cashing out it says you’ll receive the payment in 7-15 working days which is obviously a lot longer than the 72 hours originally stated. I cashed out Monday 30th Nov so only time will tell if it genuinely does pay out or not. Another thing is it’s not in GBP £ It’s dollars $ but which country I don’t know because obviously different countries have different currencies for example American dollars and Hong Kong dollars are completely different amounts when translated to GBP Has anyone successfully cashed out and actually received payment ? And if so what currency is it in ? I will update my review according to the outcome of my cash out but to be quite honest I’m not holding out much hope, as the saying goes if it’s too good to be true it probably is…….
Well i guess this tops them all! Im playing 2048 cards i have earned $989.70 i have met all cryteria the number of days to play and do so many combos and have score of 8000 to cash out and it still wont let me.
I made $375, After that I have to complete some task:-
1- complete 5 days login.
2- reach 8000 score.
3-use the prop.50 times
After completing the task I have to wait for another 24 hours to get the cash out.
Finally I got the option to cash out my amount.
But I have to wait for next 7-14 days working days to get the amount get credited in my account.
I have met all the requirements, and have cash out 4 paypal cards totaling $1,600 and it says I have to wait between 7 to 15 business days. I cashed out my first card on 11/30/20. Still waiting to see if I’m going to get paid.
pls confirm if you are able to get cash out through 2048 card game
I was playing trees for money and had over 700 on it. When I went to cash out I had to bind my account then said wait 10 go 15 days g or my money. Ive been waiting 4 weeks and nothing. Is it a scam?
Have you received it yet? I redeemed and it said the same. Cashed out at 300 and now waiting 7-15 business days.
Hi Cash out several times. says wait 7-15 business days that to the first week of january 2021. Seems to good to be ture I cash out 5 cards out of the six we’ll see what happens.
Was excited, but whey paypal pays I’ll be the first to let you all know.
I did this two times and they let me cashout both times within two days saying that i would receive it in 7 to 15 work days to my email but its been about 13 days but i aready figuered it was all bs
How did you get to 8000? why I have 611052 in score and 53848 in coins but the tick does not appear.
same here, 2-$300 cards & it says it’s been processing since 11/08/2020. did you ever recieve any cash?
How do you get the 8000 score? I’ve reached nearly DOUBLE that and it STILL is telling me to get the dang 8000 score. WHAT AM I MISSING?
Thanks for any help!
how did you get the 8000 score?
This game allowed me to cash out several times and even has a status page three of my payouts say succeed but there is no money in my PayPal. Totally disgusted
How you reach 8000 score
What is a prop?
Its the things on due and it isn’t so much using then but watching videos ti get then if you use china to get thru you get no credit for it
Hi. I have. 2 times 300$. Again 300$ doller win but redoom wait. No credit my account ..
All these games seem to be scams, I’ve followed the rules. Made it to the amount for pay out. Waited the time till they say you will receive funds… And nothing. This goes for several games out there. I would like to hear from someone “not working for these companies” to state that they have actually received funds and how they actually got paid.
How do you bind paypal with the game?
Update: I posted a comment on December 13, 2020 about this game and my comment is still waiting approval. Cashed out on 11/30/20 for $300, which makes it now over the 15 business days, and have not received the money in my paypal account. I have contacted the owner (Bowling App) to see what the hold up is. I’m waiting for a reply, but seriously doubt I will get one. I can surely say, this 2048 cards game, by owner Bowling App is a fake. Don’t waste your time.
so who are the people that are paying them after we watch the adds they must have investors? so i want to find out so i can report this card game. mine says i have 17 days before it will go through. i have photos
355 hours lol for it to cash out. so we will see.
I’m playing the game since last month I reached the $200, $300 and $500 I cash out all you said the money will transfer to my PayPal account luckily you wrote me with white colour that my money was transferred to my PayPal account but I don’t receive them of to now so what happened to me and why the money didn’t arrive still?
These apps will tell you exactly what you want to hear. They will tell you that the money is on the way, even though it isn’t just to keep you playing their games.
Like I have mentioned in the conclusion its not likely that you will receive any rewards from them.
Josh
I made $839.36, After that I have to complete some task:-
1- complete 5 days login.
2- reach 8000 score.
3-use the prop.50 times
I finished 1 and 3 task but i dont know where was that score mentioning in this game i am right now in 6 to 7 level. can any one guide me how to reach that 8000 score task……..
Same here 2 300 dollar 0Y gift cards never paid
2048 cards I’d that fake too is PayPal taking also cause I never got my money 200 plus 500 so this might be a scam
I don’t know what happened but when I downloaded the app I didn’t see a place for PayPal like I only earn coins which is very annoying and discouraging. How can I get my own PayPal benefits for playing this game?
How to get my money i was earned above 6000 USD please tell me how is it possible to claim
The money is virtual, so it doesn’t hold any value 🙁
I completed everything and i was told to wait for 15 good working days ,,but now its a month and not yet received anything
