Frequently asked questions

How free and reward games work, what credits are, and how creators earn.

Playing on BentGame

What is BentGame?

BentGame is a safe-for-work platform for simple games built around creators’ photos and videos. Creators publish games on their page, and fans play them for fun or to unlock content from the creators they follow.

What’s the difference between free games and reward games?

Free games are just for fun and engagement. They never cost anything, and some reveal a bonus image along the way.

Reward games cost credits. Every paid play always unlocks the content the game describes. The game only changes how, and in what order, that content is revealed.

Which games can I play?

Right now there’s Magic Box, a reward game where 1 credit opens a box that always reveals an image, and Guess the Card, a free game where picking the right suit reveals a bonus image. Picture Reveal is in development. See all games.

Do I need an account to play?

You need a free account to buy credits, play reward games and keep the content you unlock in your collection. You must be 18 or older to create an account. You can sign up here.

Who creates the content on BentGame?

Our creators: photographers, videographers and other people who share their work on BentGame. They choose the photos and videos in their games and are the people behind the content you unlock.

Credits and rewards

What are credits?

Credits are the prepaid units you use to play reward games. Each reward game shows its price in credits before you play. You can buy credits at the prices shown at the time of purchase. Credits don’t expire while your account is open.

If I pay to play, do I always get something?

Yes. Every paid play of a reward game unlocks the content the game describes. For example, every Magic Box you open reveals an image. Games only decide how and in what order content is revealed, never whether you receive it.

Can I cash out, sell or trade what I unlock?

No. Rewards on BentGame are always digital content from creators, never cash. Rewards and credits can’t be sold, traded, transferred, withdrawn or exchanged for money.

Is BentGame a gambling service?

No. Free games cost nothing, and paid plays always unlock the content they promise, so you never pay for a chance at something. Rewards have no cash value. Our terms of use also require creators to describe their games without gambling language.

Something went wrong with a purchase or a game. What can I do?

Get in touch through our contact page with the details and we’ll put it right, which may include restoring or refunding credits. Your full rights are set out in our terms of use.

For creators

Can I become a creator on BentGame?

Yes. Create a free account, set up your page with your work and links, and publish your first game. Everything you upload must follow our safe-for-work content rules. Read more on BentGame for creators.

How do creators earn?

Creators keep 80% of what fans spend on their reward games. Free games don’t generate earnings, but they’re a good way to introduce fans to your work. Earnings are paid to the payout method in your account, on the schedule and above the minimum shown there. You can follow them on your payouts page.

What content is allowed?

BentGame is safe for work. No nudity or sexual content, nothing featuring anyone under 18, and only images and videos you own or have the right to use, of people who have agreed to appear in them. The full rules are in our terms of use.
