1. Why would someone pay me to play games?
The Gaming industry is a business; each business wants to sell a product that it's consumers will like and recommend to others. If a game company sells games that they do not test, what do you suspect will happen? The untested games will have bugs in them and most customers will find those bugs and return those games due to all the glitches and this game company will not make any money. A business that does not make any money will not be in business for long. If a Game company pays 100 people to test their games and because of their testing 100,000 people will NOT return that game, this company has just made a profit.
2. How can I be assured that the companies are really going to pay me?
You will have to use your discretion here, but I highly doubt that companies that you've heard of will not pay you. You can always sue.
3. Am I limited to only my home computer, can I test on my laptop at a coffee shop?
You do not need to test only from your home computer. You can test from anywhere as long as the game is up and running. If you have a super duper laptop that has two video cards you can test from a local coffee shop if you wish. As long as you can run the game...
4. Is there a limit to how many games I can beta test, or how much money I can make?
The only limit to how many games you can play/test and the amount of money you can make is your time. If you wish to put full-time effort into beta testing, then you will make more money. Your income will be completely dependent on your effort and attentiveness.
5. What is the method through which I'll be paid? How often will I be paid?
This will depend on the company that you work for. Most companies pay bi-weekly by check or direct deposit. You will have to talk with the Human Resources department of that company about further details.
6. Are there jobs available for residents of Canada, United Kingdom, and Australia, Africa, or other countries?
At this moment we only list jobs for: US, UK, and Canada. No other countries are supported at the moment.
7. How do I know that this is not a SCAM?
I understand that there are some shady companies out there -- so to my toughest critics: If you have doubts about my guide I offer you an 8-week money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with it after you've given it a serious try I will refund your purchase 100% though I will not allow you to purchase it again in the future.
8. I'm don't like giving out my credit card number online. What guaranties do you offer that my credit card number will stay with your company and not be sold to someone else?
The billing for your credit card is done through a High-grade Encryption (AES-256, 256bit). Furethermore, our credit card transactions are done through ClickBank.com - this company works with over 100,000 different websites. No one but ClickBank.com will see your credit card.
For added security you can also pay via PayPal.com if you wish.
9. Why is there a subscription for monthly time periods? Do I have to remain a member of GamerTestingGround.com after I find a job?
The reason for the various monthly time periods is because the guide is updated regularly. I hope that all of my members find a job within 6 months, but just in case I do offer 1 year and 2 year memberships.
Once you find a job you no longer need to stay a member unless you wish to use my guide to look for other gaming jobs.
10. Is a job guaranteed?
No, my guide will help you land a job but it does not guarantee a job. Since you will work for Big Name Game companies that produce the games and not for GamerTestingGround.com, I can not guarantee you a job. But with at least a 6 month membership to my resources the help you receive will more than put you on your way.
11. What platforms / gaming systems do I get to test the games on?
It really depends on the job. M****soft for example, has testing on both the XBOX and the PC. The job that you land will dictate the platform that you will need to test games on.
12. What if I don't have all the platforms? Will I be provided with a new XBOX 360, PS2, PS3, etc? What if I have a slow computer?
This will depend on the company. The job description will dictate whether you will be provided with a new system (if you don't have it) or whether having the new system is a requirement to land the job. This will be disclosed to you when you apply for the job.
13. I did not receive the membership Welcome email! What's the deal?
Please be sure to check the SPAM filter in your email account. The membership Welcome email from us will have the subject of 'GamerTestingGround.com Membership Information' (without the quotes).
14. I reset my password but I never received the new password in my email!
Same as #13 above, please be sure to check the SPAM filter in your email account. The 'new password email' from us will have the subject of 'GamerTestingGround.com - Your new password' (without the quotes).
15. How can I change my password to something else?
For security reasons I do not allow members to choose their own passwords. If you wish you can reset your password via the "forgotten password" feature to a new randomly generated password.
16. I don't have a credit card, can I pay by money order, check, or cash?
Unfortunately I do not accept money orders, checks, or cash. You can only pay via a credit card or Paypal -- If you have a checking account you can sign up with paypal.com and then by paying via paypal attain membership.
17. What's your phone number? Can I call you for more details?
Unfortunately I do not provide phone support at the moment.
18. Is there an age requirement?
Yes, there is. In order to apply for a job you MUST be 18 years of age or older, there are no exceptions. This is due to child labor laws.
19. Are the jobs available in multiple languages?
Unfortunately, the jobs and all of the details are available in English Only.
20. Is the membership fee paid every month, or is it a one-time fee?
The monthly breakdown is for illustration purposes only. You are billed up front via a one-time payment for the duration of the membership.
21. Can GamerTestingGround.com sponsor me and I'll pay the membership fee from my income? Can I have a month free?
Unfortunately this is not possible. GamerTestingGround.com does not provide the jobs. You will be working for game companies and not GamerTestingGround.com, hence I have no control over whether you get hired or not and also no way of enforcing for you to pay your fees. No exceptions.
