I found that the mypoints rewards are nice but the games suck. I suspect that they are "outsourcing" their games. I have spent hours doing surveys, and have made some points, and some cash. But it works out to only $1.00 / hr plus change. Not a very good use of my time. I read an article about an online money making opportunity. I tried It and now, with only about 2 hours a day investment of time, I am making $150 a day in additional income.

You made out well by getting your $8 and change back. Your odds are better playing in a casino. See, in a head to head competition on Mypoints Games, you go up against another competitor. You each wager $1.00, for example. The winner takes home $1.50. The loser, nothing. Where does the other .50 go? Right into the house's pocket. If you win 50% of the time, you actually LOSE money. If you win half the time in a casino, you can expect to break close to even on most games. On mypoints games, you must win 67% of your matches just to break even. If you want to take home a profit, you'll need to win basically 75% of the time, or 3 out of 4 competitions. Since that's statistically impossible (you are matched against players of similar skill levels), almost everyone loses money even if they're winning a majority of their games. The only winner is mypoints games because of the 25% rake they take out of each game. SCAM SCAM SCAM. Worse than a casino.
