I've been asking myself that very question after years and years of playing online games, so I decided to give it a try and signed up at WorldWinner. Basically, it involves a deposit of $20 for you to become a cash player, and then you can start playing to win some money. Of course, you won't be playing for free; you have to put in a little money in order to play. There's a free game available daily--check the Free Play calendar--and you can also get some practice in by playing the Warm-up games.

So have I made big money from these online games yet? The honest answer: Not big money, but it may just be due to my incompetence when it comes to certain games. A word to the curious: Sign up, but do the Warm-up games first. It's always best to improve your skill in the games before shelling out any cash on the cash games, plus it gives you a greater chance of winning the prize money. Good luck!
