Become a PUBG Streamer or YouTuber
PUBG is currently one of the most watched games in the world on YouTube and Twitch, as per stats from Newzoo. Why not take advantage of this wave and become a PUBG streamer or YouTuber?
If you’re already playing the game, you can start to build up a channel simply by downloading OBS for streaming. You can also record your games and edit them into fun gameplay videos, tutorials or other PUBG content.
This one won’t make you money overnight, but the biggest streamers in the world are making millions. If you’re willing to put some time and effort into a project, this can pay off big time, as well as being a lot of fun.
Play PUBG At LAN Events For Cash Prizes
If you really want to take your competitiveness to the next level, you can go beyond online tournaments and compete in LANs.
Look for open LAN parties and you might find one with a hefty cash prize. Even large organizations like DreamHack often include open tournaments for games like PUBG at events.
You could also sign up for the official PUBG Europe League or North American League. The tournaments allow any team to sign up and rise through the ranks, culminating in a large LAN finals for the best up and comers to win a share of the million Euro prize pool.

Bet Your Friends At PUBG
Not exactly the most legit way to make money playing PUBG, but it is a lot of fun! If you have a PayPal account and some PUBG buddies, make things interesting by throwing down a bet.
You could jump right in a game and bet your friend a few bucks you’ll get more kills than them. Or you could play against other friends on online platforms and bet that you’ll beat them. If you have skills and friends that like to make things interesting, this is something that can grab you a few bucks, although it’s mostly just for the banter.
