Ladies & gents, boys and girls, my time of playing blockchain games all day for a few cents is coming to an end, I will be starting a new job in August so this may well be my second last edition of this top 10. It's been an interesting few months and I've enjoyed getting to know all these new forms of gaming and passive income. But I've gotta say, earning potential for an average guy like me could be better :)
This month was again plagued by the high gas fees on ethereum, this really seems like a killer for many games but it's nice to see some innovative solutions being developed. Specialised side chains seems to be the way forward with both Gods Unchained and Axie Infinity announcing they are working on such solutions.
As always, the profits mentioned are for the whole year and as I started all the different games at different times there is absolutely nothing scientific about this top 10 :) Also in many cases, it is quite hard to calculate the value of your NFT collection, so I do my best but in many cases they are probably overvalued and the gas fees will also eat away at the profits if I decide to sell out.
If you have any other suggestions that could break into my Top 10, please let me know in the comments! Most of the things I play at the moment came from suggestions from you guys, thank you for that :)
Number 1 - Blockfi/Nexo (>0)
Profit: >$200 (BTC, ETH, XLM)
In my opinion the absolute best way to stack some sats if you own crypto already. Just hold you positions on the platform and watch it grow every day. Blockfi is the platform I trust most and has great rates for BTC and ETH. I added Nexo this month as they offer decent interest on XLM of which I hold a small position.
Here the rates I'm getting as of time of writing:
- BTC: 6% (Blockfi)
- ETH: 4.5% (Blockfi)
- XLM: 4% (Nexo)
And here my referral links for Blockfi and direct link to Nexo (no referall program as of yet) if you want to try them out (1 Blockfi referral as of today):

Number 2 - Forgotten Artifacts (>0)
Profit: $159.85 (ENJ Collectibles)
Still holding strong at number 2, no other game is coming close in terms of earnings. I try to do one run a day and the four blockchain items I get for each adventure stone are still adding up nicely. There have been no real improvements to the game this month and if I am honest the game is getting quite grindy for me. But I know the developer is working hard on future improvements and I'm excited to see where the game goes in the future.

Number 3 - League of Kingdoms (NE)
Profit: $33.04 (ETH Collectibles)
So this game has not even released yet and it burst into my top 10 at 3rd place :D I bought some level 5 land during the first round of the presale and it has already gained quite a bit in value. So the game will be a MMO strategy game and looks very promising to me. So the way I understand it I will be able to earn crypto using my land in some way and I will be able to build and raise armies to terrorise my neighbours. Sounds good to me :D Game should have released end of June, so hopefully I will be able to tell you more next month.

Number 4 - LBRY (^2)
Profit: $26.36 (LBC)
I like this platform more and more, I have a few cool crypto content creators I watch on a daily basis and to get rewarded for that is cool. The rewards have been halved recently, you now only get a random amount between 0.5 and 50 LBC a day. A large chunk of my profit also comes from referrals, I still don't quite get why this is the only platform people seem to actually use my referral link for :D
Anyway, if you are interested in this censorship free alternative to youtube where you can earn some crypto for viewing and creating content, check it out using my referral link (18 referrals as of today):

Number 5 - Swissborg (NE)
Profit: $22.91 (CHSB)
Clearly a marketing gig for the Swissborg wealth app, this little gem blasts into my top 10. So all you have to do is predict once a day if bitcoin will go up or down. You get points for doing this and the goal is to climb up the ranks. Top prize is amazing, over $7000. You need to get into the top 20k to start winning prizes, over 120k players at the time of writing. But the beauty is you get 50 CHSB for certain achievements and the token is worth around $0.11 at the time of writing. I have been using the app for less than two weeks and already have 200 CHSB, high reward for a low effort if you ask me.
Would appreciate it if you use my referral code (0 referrals as of today) if you decide to sign up:
- https://www.swissborg.com/
- Referral Code: WPQ7NEQ
Oh yeh, and the prize pool increase by $1 for each new user, so what you waiting for ;)
Number 6 - PUBLISH0X (v1)
Profit: $21.35 (BAT, LRC, DAI)
Lost a spot, but still doing very well. A lot of the sites I now use come from recommendations on this platform and if you ask me, they have the best reward policy out of all these crypto social media platforms. No people spamming comments to collect rewards and some really interesting content. Love it.
Number 7 - Axie Infinity (v4)
Profit: $19.39 (ETH Collectibles, SLP, DAI)
So I've been losing money with this game this month and so it drops 4 places. High gas fees are making breeding really expensive and the price of my axies and land have gone down slightly since last month. This game has loads of potential, the PVE I still find very boring but the PVP is great. No game annoys me more, but that just makes the victories which I still have hard time getting, that much sweeter :)
Many ways to earn in this game: Trading, breeding, completing daily quests (SLP) and you also get some DAI sometimes when playing arena games during the ranked season.
I can't wait for land play to be released, meaning another source of income in this exciting constantly growing eco system.

Number 8 - Dualmine (^4)
Profit: $14.74 (BTC, ETH)
So profit wise, this cloud mining platform is starting to get interesting and an impressive climb of 4 spots. After nearly half a year, I'm in the green with still 1.5 years left on the contracts. Is this site legit and sustainable? I have had my fair share of warnings, but according to other people online, they are still paying out profits.
Before you invest anything in this: I have not tried to withdraw any of my profit so I can not vouch for them yet. I honestly just don't want to jinx it :D If my profit gets into the region of $100 I will try to withdraw it and I will let you know the result. Crossing my fingers that they don't bail out on us all before that :)
Here my referral link if you want to give it a go (5 referrals as of today, but nobody made any orders so no influence on profit):
https://www.dualmine.com
Number 9 - Blockchain Poker (v3)
Profit: $14.49 (BCH, BTC)
Surely it's last month in the top 10. Hardly any free rolls left and to be honest, I have hardly played last month. I love poker, but the bad beats get to me and it can consume so much of your time with so little reward at the stakes I play.
Still, here my referral link if you want to try your luck at the tables (0 referrals as of today):
https://blockchain.poker/
Number 10 - Rising Star (^4)
Profit: $10.88 (STARBITS, Cards)
I'm gonna be completely honest here, this game probably only made it into the top 10 because of how I calculate the value of my card collection. As far as I know there is no way to see for how much cards are sold, so I take the lowest listed price for each card and that is how I try to give value to my collection. Of course I have no idea if anybody would even buy my cards at these values :D
But anyway, I'm happy the game is here because it's kind of fun and even though it's very simple, you just want to get better and better. In the end it's just and idle browser game, you use energy to go on missions and you hope to win fans and in my case you are desperate for discarded pizza boxes (fill up energy). The developers are constantly adding stuff which keeps the whole thing interesting and I'm always happy when I have enough Starbits to buy new card packs. There is a feeling of progression and this month I got a rare card that totally boosted my star power and gave me a great sense of reward.
If you wanna give it a go, please use my referral link, I will get 1 starbit for each mission you accomplish:
