Welcome to my Big Time Cash App review.
Now there is a high chance your here for an opportunity to make ‘free cash.’
That is the claim anyway of an app called Big Time Cash, which pays you to play games.
But if you have read the heading, you will see more to this app then meets the eye.
If you want to learn the truth, keep on reading as some of the secrets they don’t share with you are shocking.

Whos Behind Big Time Cash?
So Big Time Cash is an app that you can download on your phone, which rewards you for playing various themed games.
They are owned by WINR Games who are based in Ontario, Canada.
There is no catch (that’s what they say), and you don’t need to pay anything to get involved.
I have reviewed several apps at this point, a lot of which are similar, check out these for instance:
But Big Time Cash is intriguing because they already have so many ‘free cash’ apps launched.
An outsider looking in it would seem that whoever’s behind it gets bored often and then launches a new game with the same idea behind it.
If you look at the screenshot below, you will see many other games and the classic ‘make money free’ type of apps.
I counted them, and there are roughly 50 apps that, while being slightly different, will make you money.
Most of them don’t have many downloads, averaging around 50k each.
On the other hand, Big Time Cash caught on with many and now has over 5 million downloads since there release back in December 2014.
How Does Big Time Cash Work?
You will have a few options to sign up when you load up the app for the first time.
You can connect your Facebook or use your email. There is also an option for you to try it out as a guest.
To use the app, you must be 14 years of age and agree to there terms.
It will now take you through how it all works in two steps. Which to go over briefly is:
- Earn tickets through playing the games
- Get entered into cash prize draws using the tickets you have won
Below you will see a video that shows you how the game works by the developers themselves.
How To Start Earning Tickets
From here, you will be shown a selection of games.
Not each one will be available as you will unlock them by playing on others.
For the time being, you will have a few to choose between. I tried 3 or 4 to get a taste of how easy it is to get tickets.
Unfortunately, I found it somewhat tricky, as you will find out, later on, I find that they are all rigged to some degree.
In the above picture, you will see I tried a game called ‘Kinetic Console’.
Basically what you have to do is link the colours to each other which covering every square.
It sounds simple, and it is to start with, but it gets out of control by the time you reach level 8-10 with so many tiles added in.
Because there is a time limit unless you don’t suck, you will get to the same level each time.
You are winning roughly the same tokens each round.
How Do They Pay?
You have the draw that you will be automatically entered into, this occurs each day and is around four figures each time.
On the day I joined, it was ‘$2’780’ however, that will change each time.
As for other ways, users can also swap their tokens for rewards like PayPal.
You will need to earn $10 to get a payout.
However, I played the game for roughly an hour, and I only got about 8000 tokens.
Above you can see you need 10’000 to reach $0.10, so you will need to grind hard to get money.
But to be honest and with the five secrets you have been waiting for I would say not to bother.

5 Secrets The Big Time Cash App Is Not Telling You
1. Time Suck
The game is designed to keep you playing as long as possible.
You are led to believe that your effort is going towards a good chance at winning a big prize however you are benefiting them more with the ads you have to watch.
As I said, I played the game for an hour which admittedly wasn’t the best use of my time, but I wanted to see how many tokens I could make.
The result was not a lot, not even enough to get $0.10.
So that tells you that you will only end up wasting your time if your goal is to get a $10 payout.
2. Coins Being Stolen…
There aren’t users going around stealing each other’s tokens somehow it’s actually Big Time Cash doing the robbing themselves.
You may be thinking I’m jumping to conclusions here, but there are so many people reporting how when they go to cash in the app glitches.
The most common error message here is ‘no internet connection’ followed by several disappearing tickets.
I think it is coincidental that this is all happening.
Now, if you’re thinking it a glitch, it’s not as numerous reviews are backing this up.
In that time, Big Time Cash have updated their app multiple times on the market but haven’t addressed this issue which is concerning.
3. You Will Encounter Many Ads
Ad revenue is the business model Big Time Cash rely on to make money.
That is fine, however, and it’s not just me, but people are finding the constant ads a problem.
After every game you play, you are forced to endure through a 30-second advertisement, which you can’t skip.
So not only are you playing for the slightest chances of winning, but you are being strung along in the process.
4. Try To Get You Hooked
Before I talk about this point, let me say the games are fun and designed to hook you.
In general, games are made to be addictive anyway.
However, they tell you before each game is ‘I bet you can’t get 25 tokens’.
That is before you start any of the games.
Its an attempt to get you playing over and over again until you have reached that token count.
Going back to the last problem, you will pay these guys in ad revenue as you will get hit with ad after ad as you play.
It comes across as if they are quite desperate to get ad revenue from you by encouraging you to play the games.
That brings me on to point five, which is quite essential when it comes to succeeding in the app.
5. Games Are Rigged
One thing I noticed is how rigged the games are.
I played a few before it caught on with me that it’s designed to keep attempting them.
I also noticed the difficulty was ramped up fast, shortly after starting. Why they do this?
Its to stop you from winning tokens.
It gets to a point where you will be killed off once you have earned a certain amount.
I will refer to the game ‘Rover Ranger’, where you need to use your fingers to navigate the car around obstacles.
I would start each game fine; however, once I reach a certain level, it wouldn’t respond to me swiping the screen.
That would result in me crashing.
It comes to the point where you play the game for roughly 30 seconds before watching an ad for the same period.
After a while, you also find you’re watching more than playing, which signifies that this Big Time Cash app is a scam.
Is There Any Big Time Cash Hacks?
There are currently many YouTube videos going about with possible Big Time Cash hacks.
I had a look at some videos, and it does look like there are a lot of false claims going around.
In particular, some people are claiming to have ‘special’ referral codes that give you unlimited tokens. That isn’t possible, though.
These rumors are going around because they make them money every time someone uses the referral code.
Not only that, and regardless of the fake codes, but any hacking also is not condoned and will get your account banned.
So if you see any hacks floating about, I would ignore them.
Is Big Time Cash A Scam?
What baffles me is how Big Time Cash reviews are going around, showing they are legitimate.
Either they haven’t done all their research or are promoting them in return for money.
Whenever I check out an app, specifically those claiming to give you free money, I pay attention to the crucial details.
That is usually enough to tell you whether the app developers are bringing you a genuine service or not.
As you can see from the aspects I spoke about, this one is an app to avoid.
Instead of downloading apps like this one with the hope of free cash, it would be better to put your destiny in your own hands.
You can get paid to do surveys, play games, watch videos and that kind of thing.
But instead, everything you do you gets paid for instead of being entered into draws for the chance.
How I know this is because I have used legitimate and well-known sites that payout.
Check out these reward sites and see which one suits you the most.
I only recommend ones that are established and will give you the most for your time.
I hope you learned a thing or two in this Big Time Cash app review.

I actually have one game, Cosmic Jump, from The Big Time Cash App. I have to say that they are actually legit. I found out about this platform because I wanted to play a game similar to tower and I wanted to get paid for it lol I mean it is a legit program, however when you get paid you only get paid with Canadian dollars, so if you live in the States like me it went down.
This is not a get rich quick game or platform but if you want wanna accumulate a few cents from playing games that you love (which you usually don’t get paid) then this is the app for you.
Cheers!
Good to hear you got paid using the app Nuttanee!
Ah, I figured there were some things that didn’t look right about this rewards site. The Big Time Cash App (the name alone) sounds deceptive as well. But I think it tricks some people to thinking it pays out a lot of cash to them. So I didn’t buy it when I started reading the review.
I’m glad you mentioned how the games are rigged, and that the payouts were low as well. Reading the cons of this app really helped out. I guess I can throw this app down the garbage can full of scammy apps.
Thanks for sharing- I enjoyed reading it!
No worries, Eric 🙂
Thanks for the thorough review of the Big Time Cash App platform. I had been told to check it out by some friends who wanted to know if it was worth their time. After reading through all the information you included here, including the 5 secrets they are not telling you, it is going to be a definite “no” from me.
Based on the negative reviews, the amounts of money that you earn for time spent playing games, and the ads (I use them too, but I do not like them as a consumer) this seems like a waste of time. I was going to check out a few reviews, but yours is enough to convince me that this is a platform to stay away from.
Glad this review helped you Dave 🙂
Can you guide me into a legit apps that pays real cash… I am always a victim of scam playing games apps… If you have found a legit paying apps please email me at icofranklin49@gmail.com, thank you and have a nice day…. God bless.
It’s not designed to make a full income just spare change to play games you enjoy. You would play for free right? Why not earn a little money with it? It’s not designed to be your job or career just a side hustle to make a little money now and then.
Hi Misganaw,
You are right this app isn’t one where you can make a full-time income from, however, if your lucky you might be able to make a few bucks.
Josh
i cashed out 12.7$ and it moved to processing after a moment it becomes a 0$ ??
I would love to know who the winners are of the 3500 dollars? Who are they? Why don’t they post in reviews? I think it is a scam . There are no winners.
With the reviews, it’s tough to know which ones are legit and which are paid testimonials. All these games have close to 5 stars because people give them high ratings before they have received a cent. But yeah I think your right there Styliani!
Josh
True.. I think so too. If there are true winners, then why are they hiding? I haven’t seen even one testimony from the winners, except for their names and a single picture.
Thanks for this review, especially the 5hidden truth they are hiding. please let me know if there are real games that pays.
Thank you for your review.
The current highest winner entered 95 tickets only. The winners are joke?
