So how can FreeLoadr give out free games by just running their program? When you run FreeLoadr on your computer, what your computer is doing in the background is mining cryptocurrency. Instead of having to deal with everything associated with cryptocurrencies, you are paid in return in the aforementioned FreeLoadr points to be spent on games.
FreeLoadr is from the company Online Blockchain who are the UK’s leading company in Blockchain. If you are unfamiliar with what Blockchain is, the video below will explain. “We want to take the power of the blockchain to add value and make it possible for anyone, anywhere to get the computer game they want using the latent power of their PC. We have made this possible for anyone with the current generation of gaming computer to do just that without needing to be a blockchain or programming expert,” said Clem Chambers, CEO of Online Blockchain. “Just press go, let the software run and get a game of your choice. It really is that easy.”- Article continues below...

Redeeming a game is a very simple process, you save up the number of points required for what you would like and go on to the FreeLoadr store to redeem them. Then in the orders tab, you can view your purchased games and view the codes to activate them. After leaving my desktop computer for a couple of weeks running continuously, as I use my laptop most of the time, I had amassed 1,266,273 FreeLoadr points and I spent some of them on a DLC pack for the game Cities: Skylines. In minutes from purchasing the pack, I was sat playing it.
