Making money with Splinterlands.

You may know Splinterlands as Steemmonters rebranded for a wider audience.

Now I have to ask you. What kind of a return do you want on your money?

Let's run some numbers.

I'm not much of a player anymore. Although the game is very addicting and I have won a good deal of money in the tournaments, I just don't have the time to play as I used to when I was a working man. I would come home from work and before bedtime I could play for a few hours.
I won't say I was good. But, I was happy with my progress.

I amassed quite a team. I was a very early investor so I got many cards in the .04 cent to .02 cent range.

I developed a diamond level team every card in the Alpha stage . . . Maxed.
It was a good deck.

But, that's not what I make money on now.

Let's look at just today.
I purchased this:
Selena Sky, Level 4

(We start with Level 1 and as we gain more cards and more powers we eventually end up at Level 4 - Legendaries)

It takes 11 cards to become a Level four in legendaries. I paid $100 dollars.

" One hundred dollars?!
Have you lost your mind? A Digital game? There isn't even a real card you can hold? It's all on the computer!! "

Bear with me.

The cards are registered on the Steem blockchain, so I can prove that it belongs to me.
And here is the thing; I can sell it. I can rent it!

I have 4 that are on rent at the moment. 3 are rented. This 4th one will rent for .14 cents a day with a $2.00 escrow. (If the renter breaks the contract then I get $2.00 for my trouble and to cover a seven-day cooldown in which the card can not be played. (whos gonna want that card?)

We are looking at a %4.11 Roi. a month. 4.11X12 equals %49.32 a year.
That's a good return.

I have some cards that are renting for over %7.00 a month.
I'm buying more cards.
Math is good too me.

Management and development men are top notches. - Arggoed, Yabba Matt are the founders. And a shout out to the entire Slinterlands team.- Get in near the ground and there are riches to be made.)
