2. Swagbucks

3. Nintendo

The Nintendo testing program takes place in Redmond, Washington. This is a truly unique experience because this is an on-site beta access opportunity.

That means you’ll be called into Nintendo’s offices and you’ll get to play some of Nintendo’s hottest titles in the house the company built.



4. GBTN

The Global Beta Test Network (GBTN) is an organization that acts on behalf of a variety of gaming companies that need beta testers. And it pays through PayPal, so you can get your money instantly without the formalities.

All you must do is fill in a questionnaire and make sure you have the communication software to participate in testing sessions.

The more platforms you have available the better the chance you have of getting accepted.



5. Twitch

Twitch is not an official beta testing network. However, if you build up your channel through live streaming you have the potential to connect with brands.

It’s quite common for popular channels to have the opportunity to test out new games before anyone else. Brands often reach out to famous Twitch streamers because they want a passionate gamer and some early exposure.

This can be a great long-term strategy.



6. Microsoft

Microsoft is also looking for beta testers for its games. And the best thing is they’re not looking for anyone specific. They opened their doors to everyone from the hardcore gamers to the casual gamers who play once per week.

Beta testers for Microsoft will get the opportunity to go to their officers in Redmond, Washington, and play the latest unreleased games. They’ll also get discounts and free Microsoft software as a thank you for their time.

It’s a great opportunity to work for one of the biggest tech companies in the world.


7. Playtest Cloud

Imagine if you only had a few spare minutes every day and a smartphone. Now you can use those two things to get paid for gaming.

The Playtest Cloud will record your screen and everything you say on the game as you play the latest in browser games for iOS and Android.

For every game you play you’ll get paid $9 directly via PayPal. The average test requires just thirty minutes of your time too.
