#BlogLife135 - Face off with Mistplay

I was looking in Mistplay today and they had a boosted game. I don't usually bother but my headphones broke.

I need to replace them. I have a regular set, the one I reviewed and another pair that refuses to work on the laptop. 

Phone yes, Bluetooth is seamless. Laptop it will connect but won't stay and will not output sound. Grrr. 

I've seen a few £10 ones on Vipon but I only have a fiver in Amazon.

Anyway I downloaded this game and soon earned the last few hundred units to get a £5 amazon redemption.

I clicked and then it said switch on your camera to verify you're human. WTF!!

I just feel like they are sick of paying out and know some people will be put off by this extreme rule.

Last time there was also hoop jumping but this is ridiculous!! Previously they asked to verify I was human via my phone number and I did it. 

How many bloody times do you want me to do it? What next DNA samples? Credit card statements? Fingerprints? Perhaps you want my passport?

Who do you think you are? The government?? I'm starting to hate the games anyway. Plus longer to cashout and now there are loads of alternatives out there. 

Goodbye Mistplay!!

#BlogLife121 - Mistplay App update

I have been using this app for about nine months now. It didn't seem that long ago since I discovered it. It is still a bit buggy where I will be playing a game and suddenly it pops up with a message..

To signify I am no longer being rewarded so I have re-click on Mistplay to keep benefiting from the perks. They haven't added Paypal or made it available for Apple users but I hope those additions are forthcoming soon.

I think I have redeemed about 5 times altogether and my current balance is about 996 units. Which is pretty nice overall. Just for playing games.

There are still irregular codes and competitions running on their social media pages which helps. I am just a bit sad about the gameplay.

I really have come to love Daily Themed Crossword even though it is a low earner at 1 unit but it's fun with large and mini types of puzzles.

The only issue is the abundance of adverts and I keep doing the same ones over and over. It doesn't seem to register them as completed which is annoying.

However the plus side which I have never seen before is that, when you are on a streak or maybe just randomly it sprinkles letters across the board for free.

I don't know about you but I typically get stuck or think there could be more than one possibility but here at least with some letters revealed, it's less frustrating.

I uninstalled most of the games as the rewards were taking too long to collect and it doesn't register accurately the time spent playing.

New games pay you faster so that is what I look for. I just hate that the dull ones pay a lot and the fascinating ones, do not but some I can leave running.

I am currently playing Pop Slots casino as that has the maximum 4 units to earn but it is very boring just running slots. It does level up fast though :D

Also I spotted a new game which was Solitaire Cruise, I wish they had the regular version, instead of tri-peaks. It's still challenging and interesting but I prefer the original game.

That is for 3 units which should help me cash out faster. That's it really. Just keep looking out for new games and be aware that they can modify the amount of units for that game, at any point.

Any questions, just ask and I'll get back to you.

Mistplay and game tips

I've done a lil bit more research and have made a few new discoveries so I thought I would start a new post. 

A lot of this information is found within the game or on social media but for those who just want these summarised, here goes..  

Randomly or it could be relegated to holidays, there are Mistplay codes to be found on the social media pages. There was one listed for Valentines Day for example.

I think these are for avatars but if you are lucky, I think you may get some bonus units too. I followed them both on Twitter and Facebook as I don't really check the pages that often, so now I have a lil reminder.

I didn't realise that each user is unique and has games tailor made for them on their account. I find that a lil disappointing, maybe it is a space issue?

I would have preferred to search for a game that I liked and then be rewarded for it. I can't speak for anyone else but my attention is drawn towards the highest earning games, whether I enjoy playing them or not.

I currently have nine games installed and the only one I relish playing is Scrabble Go but I periodically play them to cash out quickly.

My balance is already at 3563 and I just need 4200 to redeem for my Amazon voucher. I have a feeling I will put it towards a Mother's Day gift.

I just downloaded Bingo Blitz as you can earn three and a half units and the maximum is four. For once there isn't an abundance of adverts cluttering up the pages.

I would have thought automatic dab for the bingo cards would be present or maybe I have to unlock it at a higher rank but it is manual at the moment, which is so tedious.

I am not enjoying it at all but there is a slot feature which has autoplay so I can leave that running while I do other things.

Keep an eye out for the pop up which says you have gone up a level and collected units because then you can switch games.

There is a time limit for collecting units so move on to different games to carry on collecting so that you can redeem more easily.

Raid Shadow Legends lets you collect four units which is the maximum. It is not my type of game to be honest but again it helps to level me up quickly and has autoplay for the battles.

When you first load it up, there is about five or six in game pop ups that even if you disable, still display. Too frustrating when you want to get on.

It's one of those interactive multi, roleplay games. Pick someone as your mascot and then battle endlessly. The costumes bit is perplexing because it is sooo complex.

There are two rankings which is ridiculous. There is a star system which goes up to five or six and then there is a verbal one which is common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary.

I haven't figured it out yet. There are artifacts (costumes), which are common (the lowest rank) but at four stars. What the hell does this mean?

Does the common rank, migrate higher to uncommon? Am I supposed to be concentrating on the stars or the words? Help?!

I think they should have explained it a lot clearer. Plus there are all these artifacts with abbreviated skills, which mean what exactly??? 

There is only a basic list and for the others, what am I supposed to do, guess??? Not very well thought out, with these games, there are lots of freebies though. 

Promotions for regular play and levelling up. I don't believe in paying for ingame perks, so I don't do that but my champ is stuck as she isn't powerful enough to progress..

It is really difficult to get someone tough enough to be a worthy opponent and progress higher up the chain. 

Another issue that which bugs me is when you autoplay the battles, it is only sped up in x2.

It is too slow, some of these battles take over five minutes and I am stuck waiting for it to be over, zzzz snooze fest. It should be x4 or x5.

The next game is Board Kings which is simple enough. Again when you first start it, there are four or five popups that you have to tediously click off to begin.

It's just a board game that you progress through. You roll the dice and proceed. It's just like monopoly. Rebuilding or buying houses.

There are even cards which give you money or gems. The only other thing you do is participate in the mini games and jump aboard a train to steal from other players boards.

It doesn't hold my interest but it does pay three and a half units so it is worth having just to expedite your units. 

Dice Dreams is worth the maximum 4 units and is very similar to Board Kings, minus the board. I just roll the dice and buy kingdoms.

Sometimes it will land on attack and then you pull a slingshot to land on a random persons property and steal their bounty. 

Even if they have shields up, you get a portion, which makes me wonder, what is the point of having shields??

If I have no spins left, I just look and use up my coins to buy kingdoms because the next time I login, a huge chunk of money is always missing.

Let's move on to Coin Master which is similar to the above, building villages and spinning a slot machine. It starts with five ingame popups, despite disabling notifications.

What really annoys me is at the last of your spins, sometimes they have promotions, like floating balloons to click on to get more coins or spins but because the popups come up on the last spin, you lose the promotion.

Grrr, frustrates me to no end. Again I advise you, despite owning shields, spend out your coins before you exit the game because on your return you will be lucky to have any of it remaining.

Looney Tunes World of Mayhem. Hmm it's cute but overwhelming, there is a lot of options and I think it's overkill. 

There shouldn't be that much but I guess the goal is to keep you there for a long time.

Some of the actions are limited, which helps. The goal is to collect pieces of the characters until they are fully formed and then put them into battle to collect coins and various props to level them up and make them stronger.

You get constantly rewarded so even if the energy is depleting, various things will just help to refill it. I tend to save my gems to open the crates before they get stolen.

I haven't verified it but at the moment, I am neither opening nor assigning my crates until I can afford to open them and they don't seem to disappear or get stolen by other gamers..

There are dozens of toons so I would concentrate on your top ones to improve their skills first and that way, you won't be stuck and you'll be earning an abundance of goodies.

The battles do have autoplay but I am not sure you get a perfect score when you do that. 

The reason to get it, is to be able to replay the level for lots more goodies.

The good thing about this game is that it doesn't have adverts unless you choose to watch them in exchange for gems.

Best Fiends is a puzzle game where you have to press and hold the screen to form a cluster. Not so keen because you never get the full group just a partial.

I don't connect this to Facebook and it still saves my progress. This doesn't really have popups or ads unless you want to earn more stuff.

It's just basically collecting friends and completing puzzles in a fixed amount of moves. It's good at first but then I lose interest because it's repetitive.

It is worth three and a half units, hence why I downloaded it. Also you should be aware that after you have collected your maximum points, you are free to uninstall the game and those points remain.

Now on to my favourite game on the list. Scrabble Go. There is a choice to play solo or with random people around the world which is nifty.

There are tournaments and various other games for rewards. I think what they should have done instead of every action, displaying an advert, they should have kept running them at the bottom or top of the screen.

There is enough room for them and it would be less aggravating to not lose a whole minute trying to click off a long advert and not being able to do so.

I should point out that unless you are playing a Duel game, which is a mini head to head. Lasting merely five rounds with forty seconds to have your turn.

Most other games are played at leisure. You can see who is online and respond quickly and have a full match, assuming your opponent has the time or like me, you can take your time and have the match last a few days.

There is the option to block or favourite players. I hate those people that make two or three letter words and bunch/overlap the board so it doesn't spread out.

I like making long words so that you have so many options for words. Yes it is a strategic game to maximise points but there is no need to constantly be on the offensive and make it difficult for the other person.

I tend to block and quit those games because they are not enjoyable. I also tend to get messages on the chat side, from male players but because I have linked it to Facebook and my personal information is there.

I don't engage with them. I am not obligated to chat or flirt and some male participants, don't understand that. If it was banter about the game itself, then I might respond.

I would like to find a balance between a competitive player and someone that spreads out the board. I can't find it. 

Either a player is so relaxed, they don't even try to win or they are super in the zone and don't make it fun with two letter words.

I have some repeat matches but I keep winning them and need a challenge. 

It's a lil weird that common words are sometimes not accepted but odd words are...

I am so bad at the duel games. I mostly lose those because I don't play smart. 

I spread out the board but the leisure games, I take my time and play more craftily snapping up the triple and double letter words but I also offer them to my opponents too.

I'm glad they have the option to switch letters because sometimes it is all vowels or constonants and all you do is watch an advert to get different letters and then you can play your turn.

You can also skip your turn and watch your statistics grow on your page.

Am I a player (of games)?

When I say game player. I don't mean slick femme fatale minxy, juggling dozens of guys on the go. I mean doing some stress busting while messing around with silly insignificant games on my phone.

I'm currently trying out Mistplay and Appstation on my Samsung phone. I think they are both just for Android users. As long as I am horsing around anyway, why not make some spare cash?

I just downloaded AppStation and as a welcome bonus I got 5,555 coins which is nice but I rushed to the cashout page to see how the rates were and to afford a £10 Paypal or Amazon voucher I need to earn 119,281 coins. Yowswer :o

Not looking so generous now is it? There is a long list of free and paid actions to acquire coinage. From 1,000ish to 92,000ish coins.

There is a lot of *new users only* in the small print. How do older users compete? What if they have completed all the required options and still can't cashout?

Another little note is that there is a time limit to finish the tasks. A few say, seven days and some say 14. Not good if you are more of a leisure gamer.

I'm not sure I can be bothered with this, compared to Mistplay. They gave me 200 complimentary units which is their currency and I need 2,100 for a £5 Amazon or 4,200 for a £10 Amazon card.

There are other rewards like John Lewis, Visa and Mastercard but I tend to stick with the Paypal and Amazon versatile options.

I installed Mistplay on New Years Eve and have tried a few games. Scrabble Go is a new favourite but each reward or action plays an advert unless you are willing to pay £4.49 a month to partially remove them.

I said partially because if you want the bonus items, you still have to watch a thirty second advert to receive them. Misleading a bit.

I've taken the seven day trial just for a bit of peace and so far my balance is 1,845. I would prefer a one off fee, if it was reasonable and included the removal of all adverts, even those to obtain game boosters or perks.

I've not tried cashing out so I don't know how smooth the process is. It can take up to 48 hours to receive it according to the blurb.

I'll update this post when I have or if I run into any difficulties. I'm also playing Coin Master which is more of a dull repetitive slot game where you build and create villages and plunder others.

It has the highest payout of coins at 4 and I just play every now and then to rise up the ranks and earn more. There are others to choose from and in the beginning it is easier to earn coins.

The negative aspects are that even though they are monitoring my usage. It is not accurately accounted for in the tally.

Also on my older phone, Coin Master wrecked the system and made it unstable. I had to quickly uninstall it. There are multiple times when it says, there's an error and you need to go back and click through from Mistplay to continue collecting rewards.

Way too many obtrusive adverts. Yes I realise they need to make money, while giving so much of it away but many times. Clicking off the advert cannot be done and it just links you to Google Playstore.

These are just my findings and your experiences might be different. One last tip and then I am off to try and get some sleep as I am returning home tomorrow.

If you have multiple devices as I have, These games are going to kill the battery. Load them up on your different phones and log in with Facebook and that way all the progress is saved.

Plus they will give you added extras. I downloaded Solitaire Grand Harvest and it's tripeaks which isn't my favourite and you also use your balance to play each round and you quickly burn that out trying to finish up.

Not too keen but at least the coins are going up when hitting the milestones. I guess to make the most of it. Choose one favourite game to play as often as you can and then pick high ranking games to earn quicker.

*10/1/21 Update*

I just redeemed my 4,100 points for an £10 Amazon voucher. Not too bad at all. Woohoo I just received it via email on the 11/1 that was really fast :)


* 2/2/21 Update*

It seems like monthly I will be able to redeem if I play the games regularly because I have just exchanged another 4200 points for a £10 Amazon card. 

Apart from the onslaught of in-game popups, it's a really fun way to get vouchers.

*21/2/21 Update*

I applied for my third Amazon voucher by signing up to the newsletter as I just had to collect four measly points to get to 4300. 

Bit cheeky that the point redemption price keeps increasing but it's all free so I can't complain too much :D
