FAQs About Free Online Games

Perhaps you’ve wanted to try out some free online games but haven’t taken the time. Maybe you have questions about how free online games work and haven’t been able to find the answers to those questions so you just haven’t given any of these great games a try. Maybe you find it hard to believe that these fantastic games are really free, in spite of what the sites say, and you’d rather not give out your personal information to get caught in some kind of financial or legal trap.

The bad news is that you’ve been missing out on some of the most enjoyable gaming experiences imaginable. There are free online games that you can play any time you want, from any computer you are authorized to use that has an Internet connection, for as long as you want and with anyone that’s online at the same time as you are, no matter where they are located.

The good news is that you don’t have to skip these free online games any longer once you have a good understanding about what free means and what not to do when it comes to these games. Here are some frequently asked questions and answers to help you get started enjoying free online games:

Q. Are there hidden fees associated with playing free online games?

A. No. We reiterate: Absolutely not! When you play free online games, there are no hidden costs, no registration fees, no monthly maintenance fees, no per game costs, no tokens or coins to buy. There is typically just a registration process that requires you to become a member of the site.

Q. What about free trial games, do these cost anything?

A. The word “trial” here is the key. Typically, when you sign up for a free trial, in the fine print it will tell you that there is no charge for the trial period, which can be anywhere from a day to a week or longer. The catch is that you do have to provide your credit card number or bank account number and your account will be charged a full amount if you do not cancel within the trial period.

Q. I can play an unlimited number of games for 24 hours for just $1. This sounds reasonable but is it safe?

A. The simple answer is no. Although you may be providing your credit card information through security sockets that are safe, the process itself is a ploy. The 24-hour period may start when you enter your information, not when you start playing. Once the 24 hours is over and usually not a second later, your card will automatically be charged a huge website access fee that is typically non-refundable.

Q. Should I have to provide my credit card number to play free online games?

A. No, you should not. Free online game sites do not ask for your credit card number because there is no need for it. You may be asked to provide your date of birth if you are playing a game that has adult content but this is only to ensure that minors are not engaging in the game.

Hopefully, these answers have given you the confidence and reassurance you need to get online and start enjoying some of the great free online games that are waiting for you now!
