Millions of people love to play video games. And if you're one of them, you have probably wondered if you could actually get paid to play. As a matter of fact, you can! Although it may sound too good to be true, there are opportunities where you can get paid to play video games all day long. However, it is important to realize that not just anyone can do it.

When you're a paid gamer, your hobby becomes your job. A good way to get started in this industry is by signing up to become a beta tester. As a beta tester, you will find any glitches, errors or bugs within the game. The development team will use your information in order to perfect the game prior to its release. Beta testers may not always be paid, but it is valuable experience and sometimes you even get to keep the game!

If you're serious about earning real money playing video games, you should consider attending a technical school such as ITT or Devry and submitting your resumes to top video game production companies. There are other ways to potentially get paid to play video games as well.

Entering a tournament can give you the chance to win cash money. Worldwide, video game tournaments are becoming more and more popular and they often have cash prizes. Of course, keep in mind that there will be expenses involved in traveling to the tournament, possible entry fees and no guarantees that you will win. Top gamers who dominate the tournaments often spend countless hours honing their skills in an effort to be unbeatable.

Becoming a video game reviewer is another way you can get paid to play. Magazines, websites and other venues need video game reviews. Video game reviewers test new games upon release (or occasionally prior to release depending on the employer) and provide detailed reviews.

The review would include details about the game's story, characters, graphics, controls, etc. Video game reviewers must be passionate about playing, be able to play long hours and have acceptable writing skills. While not easy, it is possible for gamers to get paid to play.
