I’m not going to pretend winning $10 by playing a game is like winning the lottery. But over the years, I’ve spent so much time playing games on my phone and computer. Earning $10 by simply playing a game would have seemed like magic five years ago. You can win much more than $10 by playing the Pocket7Games app. The point of this guide is to get your first $10 from Pocket7Games as quickly as possible. To get there, I’ve compiled a guide on how to earn that first $10.

The rules for this guide are simple. I’ll only be playing Solitaire!, I’ll only play free games or cash games with money that I’ve won using free games, and I won’t use any extras that are only available to paying players. See it as a general road map to your first $10 won in a mobile game, not as a guaranteed way to riches – the perk here is that you win money doing something you like anyway. I’m sure an easier and faster way to earn $10 is applying to work at a local fast-food restaurant.

With all that being said, here are the five steps to your first cash winnings from Pocket7Games:

Step 1: Log in every day

This may sound like a pretty lame first step. But truth be told, you’re going to need a lot of Tickets, and the fastest way to rack up Tickets is making sure you grab the ones that the game hands you for logging in every day. Same goes for the various minigames that you earn entries to. Any time you’re offered a stack of Tickets, you take them.

Step 2: Tournaments, tournaments, tournaments

With your fist full of Tickets, it’s time to start participating in tournaments. More specifically, you enter the free cash prize tournament that runs daily and the 5-player tournament that costs 2,000 Tickets to enter. Why those tournaments specifically? There are two reasons.

First, the stake/reward balance is best in tournaments. This is most obvious in the free tournament with a $55 prize pool (because winning $30 without putting down any Tickets is a great trade off), but also true in the 5-player tournament, where you can turn 2,000 into 5,000 Tickets (or 3,000 Tickets for second place). Furthermore, winning these 5-player tournaments is in my experience as easy or difficult as winning a ‘master’ match where you win 2,000 Tickets with a 1,300 stake.

Second, you can’t just waltz in and start winning. You need to get some practice under your belt. There’s no use starting to play for cash when you can’t win the free tournaments. Tournaments are a much better way than matches to tell you where you stand compared to other players.

Step 3: Trade your Tickets for Bonus Cash

With Tickets, you can only enter one type of cash game: the 8,000 Ticket game that wins you $0.60. Before you enter this game, make sure you don’t have the alternative to trade Tickets for Bonus Cash. Sometimes, you’ll find offers in the Ticket Store that are equal to or better than the 8,000 for $0.60 (without the risk). Make sure you keep this exchange rate in mind before trying to win cash with Tickets.

Step 4: Enter easy cash matches with bonus cash

Once you’re confident you can win a fair amount of games (remember, you’re always linked to players of a similar skill level), you can start entering cash matches. These cash matches have a similar set-up to the Ticket matches, meaning that the beginning stages are easy enough to win.

Summary: 4 steps that are the fastest route to $10 in Pocket7Games!

Winning your first $10 in cash with Solitaire! in Pocket7Games is a simple four-step process:

1. Use all available avenues to get free Tickets
2. Use tournaments to quickly get better and use their optimal risk/reward rate
3. See where you can beat the formula of 8,000 Tickets = $0.60
4. Use your $0.60 and other Bonus Cash to enter beginner cash games

Just because the four steps aren’t difficult doesn’t mean it’s a foolproof system. You still have beat your opponents in Solitaire. Luckily, you can get better and get Tickets at the same time and get to your first $10 in five days or less.

Playing Solitaire for money is incredibly easy with the Pocket7Games app. Most people already know how to play Solitaire, and because you’re always matched to a player of a similar skill level, you don’t just end up playing against the top 1% of players. Best of all, you can turn free Tickets into cash. To help you win real cash with Solitaire!, I’ve put together a list of ten tips and strategies that can help you win your next Solitaire! game on the Pocket7Games app.

1. Use the tap

When you tap a card in Solitaire!, it’s automatically placed in an position. Especially in the beginning stages of a game, tapping the cards you want to play can save you precious time. Later on, you might have a better idea of where to place a card than the automatic placement, but using the automatic placement taps in your first minute is a great way to get ahead of your opponent.

2. Stop the game when you’re out of options

This tip is especially important for beginning players. In the Pocket7Games app, Solitaire! is a game where you win based on skill and time. Often, the player who has exhausted all the available options and ends the game first, wins. Only rarely do you find a way to keep playing when you’ve initially assessed all your options. Play the best you can, but don’t wait too long to stop the game.

3. Don’t rush

At the same time, make sure you take the time you need to see solutions that aren’t immediately apparent. In other words, you’ll need some time to see if there is a way to shift things around and rack up points after all. Rushing won’t help you win a game or get you to one of the cash prizes in Solitaire!

4. Use all the free draws

If you’ve run out of options early, make sure you use the free draws that are available. Making your way through these cards won’t take that long and might just get you the card you’ve been missing so you can continue playing and increase your score. You get three free draws through the deck, and using them all doesn’t cost you anything, but can add quite a few points to your score.

5. Don’t skimp on buying an extra draw

That being said, don’t stop the game simply because you don’t want to spend the points on an extra draw. Placing one of those cards in the draw will make up for the points you spent, and often create a cascade of new possibilities. My rule of thumb is to buy another draw if I know there’s a combination in there, or if two positions have switched on the playing field.

6. Focus

I’m not here to tell you how to play, but when you’re starting a game of Solitaire! for money, make sure you set aside the time it takes to win. You don’t want to miss out on cash prizes by getting distracted.

7. Use the ‘undo’ button

It’s there for a reason, and it has saved my game more often than I care to admit. I use the undo button when I’ve placed a card from the draw that I already had available in the playing area.

8. Free up space in the playing area

That ties neatly into this next tip: focus on getting your playing area open. Make space for your Kings, because all other space, combinations, and freed-up cards come from those.

9. Prioritize cards that are not in the draw

Also related: always prioritize cards in the playing area. If you’ve drawn a card that’s also available in the playing area, you should play the latter. In the late game, those cards blocked by other cards are much harder to get than the cards included in the draw.

10. Keep your stacks balanced

The final tip: keep your stacks balanced. It often happens that you can start building a top stack after you’ve placed your first Ace. But getting one stack much further along than others can block your progress in the draw and other cards you unlock. It’s best to make sure your stacks grow more or less simultaneously, since you need cards from one stack to free up cards from another.
