For Playtesters

Earn $10/hr by recording your gameplay and providing honest verbal feedback.

Getting Started

Section titled “Getting Started”

  1. Register at app.weplaytestgames.com/register/playtester and verify your email

  2. Set up your profile — select your preferred genres, platforms, and hardware so we can match you with the right games

  3. Complete your first public playtest — new playtesters must complete one public playtest as a validation trial

  4. Get validated — an admin reviews your trial submission. Once approved, you gain access to private paid playtests

  5. Browse and claim playtests — find games that match your interests and reserve a slot

How Playtesting Works

Section titled “How Playtesting Works”

Once you claim a playtest slot:

  1. A 24-hour deadline starts — you must submit your video within this window
  2. Play the game for the specified duration (30 min for public, 1 hour for private)
  3. Record your screen and audio — narrate your thoughts, reactions, and observations as you play
  4. Upload your video through the dashboard
  5. Wait for the game owner to review — they have 7 days, after which your submission is auto-accepted

Claiming Rules

Section titled “Claiming Rules”
  • Before validation: You can only have one public playtest at a time, total
  • After validation: You can only have one playtest in “reserved” status at a time. Once you submit, you can claim another (you can have multiple awaiting review simultaneously)

Recording Tips

Section titled “Recording Tips”

A great playtest recording includes:

  • Constant narration — describe what you see, think, and feel as you play
  • Honest reactions — don’t hold back on criticism or praise
  • Bug reporting — call out any bugs, glitches, or confusing UI
  • First impressions — your initial confusion is valuable data for developers
  • Audio quality — use a decent microphone and minimize background noise

Earnings & Payouts

Section titled “Earnings & Payouts”
  • Earn $10/hr for accepted private playtests
  • Public playtests are unpaid (they’re your validation trial)
  • Request payouts via PayPal or in Crypto (USDC, BTC, ETH, or SOL)
  • You provide a wallet address when requesting a payout
  • Payouts are processed manually by an admin — typically within 1-2 business days

Disputes

Section titled “Disputes”

If your submission is rejected and you believe the rejection is unfair, you can file a dispute. An admin will review the submission and the rejection reason, and make a final decision.
