Becoming A Game Tester

We have seen a record number of requests at Skeptic-Reviews from people wanting to know if this was for real and could any of these products really help someone to start making money while playing video games?

After doing our own independant research, joining some sites and reviewing the information, the truth is, there is a huge explosion in the need for game tester jobs.  As video game sales skyrocket year after year, game developers need more and more game testers to go through levels, try out new characters and just play the game.  Most games today have a multiplayer aspect to them and this requires extensive game testing to fine tune for release.  For this, game developers will pay good money per hour to have these projects tested and re-tested again.  The hard part is getting in with these groups to be a part of that labor force for the developers.

We discovered the game industry does these things in a certain way and they also have sources they go to for hords of game testers.  Being a member of one of these clubs or joining a group of game testers is how you get your foot in the door to start making money for testing video games.

After some initial research we were able to aquire the information on dozens of products and clubs that claim to help you get started as a game tester.  Only three made it to the review, the others were deemed to be scams and not worth any mention.  We will save you the heartache and frustration of being ripped off by following our recommendation to one of the valid services we discovered below.

The following sites offer the best possible opportunities for becoming a full or part time "Game Tester".

We reviewed each one and the following is what we found:


Product 1 - Game Tester Guide

We were impressed by this program because the founder of this group is a game tester himself and has been making money doing this for some time now.  His expert guidance was very helpful.

Game Tester Guide is a little different because it offers a one time membership fee of $44.95 but, that gets you in for life.  This seems like a pretty good deal, then we dig further.

This program basically does it all for you!  From the initial setup of your gamer profile to getting you submitted for the video game testing jobs.  Then, you receive the games in the mail to play.  Once you play them, there is a survey that you have to fill out and return.  After you submit the review, they send you a check for your time!

We really liked Game Tester Guide because it had a lifetime membership, it was easy to get started and was realistic on the amount you will actually get paid to do this kind of job.

We gave them an 9 out of 10 score for their product.  If you would like to sign up and take advantage of the lifetime membership, see if you qualify by viewing our full review at our site below.



Product 2 - Gamer Testing Ground

Gamer Testing Ground is a another great program that provides all the information, support and hook ups to get started at game testing in a short period of time.  We liked the access to unreleased game titles and the broad selection of game assignments.  The game copies are a nice bonus to the game tester job.

This program provides a ton of inside resources that will help you become a game tester in short period of time.  The insider contacts and information here are invaluable to someone seeking a tester position.  This information is impossible to aquire by yourself and with the right contacts and resources this plan gets you the job!  We liked it and within a week, with a little effort, we were actually playing games for money!

This one also seemed to have access to some very popular game releases and the most unreleased game titles out of the three.  If your in it for game diversity, then this one is for you.

We gave them a 8 out of 10 for their product.  If you would like to sign up and take advantage of the special offer they are running, please follow the link at the end of this article.


Product 3 - Only For Gamers

The initial reaction was good.  We thought the webpage was good and we were excited to see what the difference was with this one.

Once signed up and looking for how this one compared, we were hit with a decent 3-step plan to get paid to play games.  We followed the steps and sure enough we started getting in on some unreleased games that needed game testers, we followed the plan and we were hired on to test a game that has a new version coming out next year.  After a week of testing, we got our first check!

Only 4 Gamers had a different approach than some of the others and is geared to the person wanting to start right now.  We found the information great and it did help us get some awsome gigs playing games.  We also made some nice cash doing it.

We gave them a 7 out of 10 score for their product.   If you would like to sign up with this one, and get started in this business right away, please click the link to our site below.
