Do I have to pay to be a playtester?

Nope! 

We will never ask you to pay a subscription or anything like that to become a playtester.

Will I need to make any in-game payments?

Unless explicitly stated, we will not ask you to pay for anything in-game. If you are asked to go through the payment function of a game, you will likely be provided with credentials that you can use to test the function.

Don't forget - a lot of these games are live!

When you take part in a playtest, you may come across the option to buy or pay for something as you would in a normal game. This is especially true for games that you install directly from the App Store, as these are already available to the general public. These could be for things such as boosters, inventory space or extra energy.


When payment options appear and you enter payment details (such as credit card, PayPal etc.) that is a real payment. Once you add your details there, the payment would be taken from your account if the game is already released to the general public. We therefore advise that you close these promotions or prompts when you see them. We will not be able to reimburse you for any payments made.

Note: If you request to be paid via PayPal, Tremendous (our payment provider) has recently introduced a 6% fee when processing. Please see our FAQ article about that for further info.
