Moola.com: Easy Money, or Great Scam?

Moola.com. An absolutely addictive game website available by invite only. This site offers the player a chance to win money by winning simple online games against other players. The site provides the player with a penny to start, and if the player wins a measly 30 times in a row they can win over $10,000,000,000. But the player can cash out long before that. When I last checked the lowest cash out was $10. A seemingly easy amount to receive considering that every time a player wins he doubles his money.

If only it was that easy. The games on this site are enormously difficult to win. With all the competition, the chances of consecutively winning enough times to make any money are slim to none, and slim just left town.

So to make up for the difficulty of winning money moola.com has a search engine that gives the searcher a chance to spin a prize wheel 1-4 times a day. The wheel has prize amounts from a penny to $9000. But by looking on the forums, one finds out that no real money is made off the prize wheel.

But if the games are hard to win, and the prize wheel doesn't produce cash, how can the player make any money at all? Well moola.com's answer is the booster zone. Here the avid money maker has the chance to buy a service from another website and get cash back from moola.com. The latest one I've looked at was from a poker site, where the only thing the player had to do for $65 was sign up, deposit $20 and play $20 worth of games within thirty days. Another option was to download software from a survey company, that would monitor one's computer use, and track where they had been online. For this the player would get $2.55.

As ingenious as all this is, the creators behind this site are even smarter than they first appear. Not only do they rarely have to give out money, but they're really raking in the profits with all their advertising. The genius part is that, to get to a game, the player has to watch an advertisement and then answer a question related to it.

The idea of the site being invite-only is even smarter than one might initially give it credit for. At first glance it might seem that this is just to limit the amount of potential prize money that will be given away. But it's actually very easy to get an invitation, the site itself recommends that the potential player goes onto the forums and ask someone for an extra invite, which almost everybody has, since all new players are given three invitations to give out. So the site is probably invite-only to help generate interest. Making it seem exclusive makes it seem more credible.

But this site isn't all smokes and mirrors. In the forums are many accounts of people winning, with posted pictures of their check. Though anything above $12 is hard to find, it is money the winner didn't have before.

The site Moola.com is one of the best money making tools I've ever seen, for the site owners. With all the draw of the Las Vegas slot machine, it can keep a player coming back for more even after they've lost everything. After all, the first penny is free.
