What's up

Hey,

I happened to stumble upon Ikaruga's blog because he just beat be on Bejeweled and had a look at his profile site with the cashgamers link. Great idea with creating a forum and blog for skill gamers who want to earn cash!

A little bit about myself, I'm 20, studying applied networking and systems administration at RIT and love playing skill games over luck games (poker, lottery etc.). I'm also into graphic design (2D, 3D), I play piano, fix computers and play badminton.

Hey Birmu, welcome to the forum! Glad to have you aboard.

Yeah, I'm trying my hardest to get up to a 10000 rank on BJ right now -- my goal for the end of the month is to make it on the top players list, which I'll need at least a ranking of 11,800 to do.

Keep it at, and try out Worldwinner.com's version of Bejeweled if you haven't already!

Thanks for the welcome,

I actually gave worldwinner a shot, I put in $20 and started playing a few games. I made a few bucks here and lost some too. Once I had around $60 on my account I had a shot at one of the bejeweled premium games ($45 entry fee, 5 players 1st place prize: $200). I've never felt so nervous playing a skill game than that particular one. To my amazement I one first prize xD. But after that, things started to go downhill, I started loosing game after game and dollar after dollar until I had around $221 left. So I finally decided to withdraw $200 and call it quit with worldwinner as the players seemed too good.

Right now I'm primarily active on King.com (since the beginning of this year) where I make around $200 - $300 a month which is quite a sum for a college student as you can probably imagine, but after reading your interview with Renaldo Moon I might give it another shot.
