Earn on Minit Games!
Yes, you can get paid for this. Here's how earning works on Minit Games today, and where it's heading.
In short
- Today: Game Jams with real cash prizes. Coming: earnings as people play, seasons, brand deals.
- Set up your payout profile (creator agreement, 2FA, identity check, PayPal) before you win.
- The audience you build now is the one you'll earn from.
Today: Game Jams with cash prizes
Right now, the way to earn is Game Jams. A Jam is an event with a deadline: creators enter, and a jury awards cash prizes to the best entries.
How a Jam works:
- You enter with one Post per Jam.
- Approved entries go live together shortly after submissions close, so everyone starts at the same moment.
- Some Jams are run together with a brand partner.
You'll find open Jams on the Events page in Minit Studio. If you use the Minit MCP Server, your AI assistant can list open Jams and submit a Post to one. Even if you don't win, a Jam is a great way to get a Post in front of players with a fresh, focused idea.
Get paid: set it up before you win
Prize money lands in your balance on the Earn page in Minit Studio. To send it to you, we need a few things in place:
- Accept the creator agreement.
- Turn on two-factor sign-in for your account.
- Verify your identity.
- Connect PayPal. That's where your payouts go.
Payouts have a $50 minimum and go out in a monthly run.
Tip: Finish the payout setup now, before you enter a Jam. The day you win is a lot more fun when the money can move straight away instead of waiting on paperwork.
Coming next
Game Jams are the start. Here's what we're building toward:
- Earnings as people play. You'll earn as people play your Games, while playing stays free for them. No paywalls, ever.
- Seasonal events that reward creators who post regularly.
- Brand deals that connect creators with partners.
We're not putting dates on these yet, but they're on the way.
The audience you build now pays off later
Every one of those future ways to earn depends on one thing: players who enjoy your Games and come back for more.
The habits from this playbook (clear endings, instant starts, daily Posts, a recognizable series) are exactly what grow that audience. The followers you earn today are the players you'll earn from tomorrow.
Warning: Only use art, music and code you have the rights to. Jam entries and paid work need clean licensing, so check your third-party content before you submit.
