Telegram Clicker Games Profit: How Much I Actually Earned After 6 Months of Tapping

The Truth About Hamster Kombat and X Empire: My Honest Airdrop Results

The ultimate reality check: debunking the myth of becoming a crypto millionaire by tapping on a digital hamster

Last year, like a bolt from the blue, more and more new clicker games started appearing, promising to make you bathe in money like Uncle Scrooge for participating in the projects. 

My intuition told me that all this was nonsense, but curiosity, the desire to be in the trend and a community of interested people took over. I started clicking too. I chose the most popular clickers for games. I admit — I don’t like video games at all, for me this experiment was torture. 

I’ll tell you how much time I spent and how much I managed to earn. Don’t repeat my mistakes.

Hamster Kombat

Hamster Kombat game appeared on March 26, 2024. I started playing it on May 30, 2024, when I was invited to the gameAt first, I thought it was some kind of nonsense. How can you make money by clicking on a hamster? Then I began to see this hamster more and more often on YouTube, and he won, I also began to play.

There was no airdrop planned, although other projects that came out later had already distributed some coins. I continued to believe that it was not in vain, but I did not expect to receive more than $300 — Ha-ha! Naive!

How Much I Earned

The airdrop of the game was scheduled for September 26! Let’s see what I earned!

I believe I achieved level 10, I don’t remember how many coins I collected, but they were transferred to Hamster Coins and the amount became 1947.8 Hamster Coins. What did I earn when I exchanged them, I left a small amount (maybe it will grow like Bitcoin).

I exchanged 1718.96 Hamster coins and received $9.07 USDT, their rate is $1 = 1 USDT approximately. Was it worth clicking the hamster for 6 months, logging in several times a day? Of course not.

I completed all the tasks and watched videos with this hamster, but did not invite anyone (or rather, I invited, but no one agreed to play). As a result, several popular bloggers with a huge number of subscribers earned money. The main income was given to those who invited many referrals. Was it honestly — no.

X Empire

I’ve been playing this game since July since the second day it appeared. You had to log in every few hours to collect coins and buy upgrades. I spent half a year on the game.

My phone’s power dropped a lot because of the clickers. Since I didn’t invite referrals, I was given a few tokens.

How Much I Earned

As a result, I earned $7 in 6 months. Was it worth the time and battery life — absolutely not. 

In addition, I had to pay a fee for withdrawing 0.5 TON, which is about $1.94. In total, $5 for half a year of playing.

Many people check the X Empire price hoping for a moon, but the reality is much harsher.

Catizen

The project started in January, 2024. I only found out about it in the summer of 2024. I went to see what the game was about. You had to crossbreed kittens. The airdrop was on September 20, 2024.

How Much I Earned

I thought that no one would pay for this project for sure. But I was wrong.

It was the best and most profitable clicker, I only went there 5 times, and for this, they gave me 2 $CATI. The rate was 1 $CATI = $1 approximately.

I hardly played here and earned $1.78. So I can’t say anything bad about this game. Probably those who played constantly were satisfied.

CATS

The Cats Clicker game was released on  June 2, 2024. I entered the CATS game on the first day of its release, entered every day completed all the tasks, and eventually earned 15,377 CATS.

The CATS airdrop took place on September 30, 2024. To get an airdrop in cats, you had to either complete a strange transaction or invite 5 friends. The day before the end of the game, I convinced 5 people to connect to the game.

How Much I Earned

I earned $0.94 for 15,377 CATS (or rather 15,257 CATS, since they only let me sell that amount, there was probably some kind of commission). Was it worth to spend 4 months playing— Absolutely not!

DOGS

The Dog Clicker game was released on March 14, 2024. The main task was to log into the project every day, and they also pressed the initial tokens for the age of the telegram account. You could also complete various tasks, such as subscribing to a group. 

How Much I Earned

The airdrop took place on August 14, 2024. It brought me the highest income among clickers.

1 DOG cost approximately 0.0011432 USDT. So if I traded all the dogs at once, it would bring me $37.237 for 32573 DOGS. You can see the DOGS historical data to understand the pump and dump cycle.

MAJOR

The Major Telegram bot was launched in July 2024. In the game, those players who made purchases in the game and invited many referrals received more money.

At first, the clicker also gave tokens for the age of the account, then you had to log into the game every day, then they started adding annoying stupid games in which you had to click on the screen.

How Much I Earned

The airdrop of the Major token (MAJOR) took place on November 28, 2024. Almost 5 months of play gave me $0.7324 USDT (1 USDT is about $1) for 0.64 $ MAJOR.

The Total Income

  • Hamster coins: $9.0;
  • X Empire: $1.94;
  • Catizen: $1.78;
  • CATS: $0.94;
  • DOGS: $37.237;
  • MAJOR: $0.7324.

As a result, for more than half a year of games, I earned $51.16. 

I conclude that these toys waste a lot of your time, this time could be spent with family, with pets, taking courses, working part-time in a normal place, where you could earn many times more money. Such toys bring income only to the creators of the game and several popular influencers who bring referrals, but not to us, ordinary users.

Soon, on February 21, there will finally be an airdrop of another popular clicker, which has existed since February 5, 2024. This is the Tap Swap clicker. They have postponed their airdrop so many times that I don’t believe in the project, I think they will also give away a few cents.

I will not play these games anymore, because they only cause anxiety.

The time you reclaim from unproductive digital habits is your most valuable asset, and the best way to use it is by building a professional foundation for your online presence. Instead of chasing fleeting airdrops, focus on long-term growth through sustainable strategies that actually bring results. To help you transition from mindless clicking to smart digital marketing, I’ve compiled a list of essential resources in my latest article: 5 Best Free and Paid SEO Tools for Keyword Research and Blog Promotion. Discover the professional equipment you need to boost your search rankings and turn your blog into a high-traffic success!
Insider Tip: as I’ve learned the hard way, these clickers are a "battery killer." If you've ruined your device's capacity like I did, you'll definitely need a professional repair kit to bring your phone back to life. Don't let a $50 airdrop cost you a $1000 smartphone.

While the world is busy chasing digital hamsters that might never pay off, I’m focused on creating things that actually last and bring joy. Why settle for a few cents when you can get something useful for your real-life skills or just treat yourself to something beautiful that won't lose its value in the next market crash? 🦝
