The P2E game RollerCoin has caught the attention of many, but what does it involve, and what does it offer users? Can you trust RollerCoin, or is it a scam?

What Are P2E Games?

Play-to-earn (P2E) games are popular in the crypto space and allow players to earn crypto-based assets and NFTs by completing tasks, winning battles, selling in-game items, and more. While you can always earn crypto by buying, selling, and trading assets, P2E games offer a more enjoyable, interactive option. Though P2E games shouldn't replace traditional trading, they're certainly a fun way to make a little extra on the side.

Many P2E games involve NFTs (non-fungible tokens). In such a setting, an NFT can represent any in-game asset, such as an avatar, weapon, clothing item, or piece of land. Tokenizing in-game items can give them value, and NFTs offer the perfect avenue for this.

When you buy, win, or earn an in-game NFT, they can be sold on marketplaces. For example, Axie Infinity, a widely popular P2E game, allows the sale of Axie NFT avatars on OpenSea, an NFT marketplace. Axies can be sold in exchange for Ethereum (ETH), allowing players to make a real profit from the game.

P2E users can also be rewarded with fungible tokens or cryptocurrencies. The Decentraland (MANA) metaverse, The Sandbox (SAND), Axie Infinity (AXS), and Enjin Coin (ENJ) can all be earned in such games, which, in many cases, can be traded on exchanges. Smaller P2E games may not yet have their cryptocurrencies listed by major exchanges, so watch out for this before you begin playing.

Other examples of popular P2E crypto games include Star Atlas, CryptoKitties, Splinterlands, and, of course, RollerCoin. But how, exactly, does RollerCoin work, and what does it offer players?

What Is RollerCoin?

Launched in 2019, RollerCoin is a play-to-earn crypto game representing a crypto mining simulation, allowing players to mine virtually. As you may know, blockchain crypto mining uses hardware, such as ASICs and GPUs, to secure blockchain networks. Miners earn a profit through this venture, but the upfront costs and maintenance can be very high, making crypto mining inaccessible to many.

This is where RollerCoin can be useful. This game allows you to earn virtual currency by mining cryptocurrency in a simulated setting.

The main RollerCoin gameplay page consists of your avatar on their desktop, mining cryptocurrency.

But, unlike typical crypto mining, this venture isn't passive. You need to play games to harness power for mining cryptocurrency within RollerCoin. These start as pretty basic games, and there isn't a steep learning curve involved with playing them. As you advance, the games increase in their difficulty.

As you can see, to advance from PC Level 1 to Level 2, you need to win 10 of these games.

However, if you're not into playing these games regularly, you can also gain crypto-mining power using virtual mining hardware.

You can buy hardware within the RollerCoin marketplace. For example, you can grab virtual fans, wires, and hashboards. You can also buy entire miners, lootboxes, skins, and racks. You can also unlock the marketplace's miners, racks, and other in-game assets by gaining experience (or XP). Experience comes from completing weekly tasks and logging in to your account regularly.

But RollerCoin doesn't stop there. You can also go on adventures, complete quests, and play with friends within the game.

With RollerCoin's adventures, you can go scuba diving and skateboarding, celebrate seasonal events, and more. In these adventures, you can collect valuable in-game items. You'll need a pass to participate in events, which you can get for free in its most basic version. To upgrade your pass and get exclusive rewards, you'll need to spend your in-game assets (which will be discussed soon).

RollerCoin also has a referral program. This allows you to earn rewards by introducing more people to the game. RollerCoin's referral program gives users a chance to earn 25% of the referred user's virtual mining profit, which can be a hefty sum depending on how often the user plays. RollerCoin will connect each user you refer to your account so that you can earn consistent profits. You can also earn a 15% commission from in-game purchases made by the users you referred.

You can become a RollerCoin referral partner by simply getting a referral link when you sign up and sharing it online.

What Do You Earn With RollerCoin?

P2E crypto games typically reward users with NFTs or cryptocurrencies. But what does RollerCoin offer?

Technically, RollerCoin players earn Bitcoin. But there's a very important point to note here; Bitcoin is earned in Satoshis (or Sats). Satoshis are minuscule fragments of Bitcoin. In fact, one BTC contains 100 million Satoshis.

To put this into perspective, let's consider Bitcoin's value and what that can give you via RollerCoin. At the time of writing, one BTC is worth $27,000. So, each time you earn a Satoshi within RollerCoin, you earn $0.00027. Of course, this is a tiny fraction of a dollar, so it'll take you a while to build your earnings up to something significant.

You can withdraw your Satoshis from RollerCoin, say, to a Bitcoin wallet to sell on an exchange. But the minimum withdrawal amount is 10,000 Sats, so you'll need to earn this much before taking out your profits.

RollerCoin also has its own cryptocurrency, known as RollerToken, or RLT. One RLT is only worth a tiny fraction of a dollar but has real utility within the game. With RollerToken, you can buy items from the aforementioned RollerCoin marketplace, which can help you advance in the game.

However, RollerToken cannot be earned like Satoshis. Rather, you need to buy crypto, deposit it within RollerCoin, and then convert it to RLT. A variety of cryptocurrencies can be deposited, including:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • BNB Coin (BNB)
  • Binance USD (BUSD)
  • Tether (USDT)
  • Polygon (MATIC)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • Dogecoin (DOGE)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • Tron (TRX)

Of course, this means you are investing money in a P2E game, which almost seems against the point. If you're willing to play regularly for an extended period, you can theoretically earn this back and more, but if you're unsure whether the game is for you, it's best to hold off on making any purchases.

Is RollerCoin a Scam?

In short, no. RollerCoin is not a scam (i.e., it is not a fake or illegal game and does give out real assets to players). The game is safe to use and is a legitimate way to make a profit through virtual mining.

But the thing you do need to question here is whether the time spent playing RollerCoin games is worth the assets you get in return. The best way to earn a decent holding through RollerCoin is by playing daily, which can be challenging for those with busy lives. So take note of this before signing up.

As per the video above, yes, you can make a little crypto, but you'd probably be better off investing your time into something more lucrative, like learning an actual skill, then turning that into employment.

RollerCoin Is a Fun but Time-Consuming P2E Game

While you can earn crypto-based assets with RollerCoin, it's important to note that if you want to earn a significant amount, you'll have to commit a lot of time to the game. But if you love gaming and want to earn a little extra on the side, RollerCoin could work for you.
