I have been a die-hard gamer since I can remember. You can imagine my excitement when a buddy of mine told me there was such a thing as a game tester job where you could actually make money from playing video games. What I did not know was that there was a web of greedy scam artists waiting to take the money off newbie game testers desperate for jobs. I wrote this article because I wanted to make sure everyone is aware of this game testing hoax.

My Story

About 2 years ago I was just your average die hard gamer. I would seriously spend anywhere up to 40 hours a week playing games. It was getting tough to hold down my part time job. So one day a buddy of mine tells me he knows this guy who is making like $80 per hour working in a game tester job, beta testing unreleased video games – it sounded more than ideal.

So I decided to go online and did some Google searches for game testing and game tester job. There were heaps of guides promising upwards of $100 per hour jobs and instant offers. I could not believe it and handed over the cash, and waited for the offers to come rolling in. Guess what? And they never did. Actually - only the 1 lame offer for an online PC game paying a measly $10 per hour. I was out of cash, and as you can imagine pretty angry.

So I emailed the guys a few times asking for refunds. I never heard back from them. They did not have a money back guarantee. It was an absolute rip-off! I was so angry and didn’t know what to do next…

I was going to give up, but was still desperate to find this elusive game tester job. Next I jumped on a few forums for video game testers. I came across some pretty cool people - they all recommended the same guide which was encouraging - it had landed them all some decent jobs. So I gave it one last shot, and invested in the guide.

As I said earlier that was over 2 years ago. Today I make a full time income from game testing. I owe it totally to the guide which got me started and helped me land my first few jobs. Its an unbeatable lifestyle - and all you need are a couple of jobs to get you started.

Here’s My Secret

So right now you are probably pretty keen to find out the name of the game tester guide which delivered - right.. Don’t worry I am not going to leave you hanging - I know how much that sux.. The guides name is gamer testing ground review and I strongly recommend you check them out.
