I recently had an idea to create a website where people play games for money. Many people love playing games but it's just a hobby for most, the way my site would work is basically you'd sign up, there would be a list of current tournaments going on for different flash games. You would enter the tournament and play a small flash game. The top 3 players with the highest scores would be rewarded with some sort of points, they could use these points towards gift cards, paypal money, hats/shirts.etc the reason I'd use flash games is because they are really simple, you don't need to download them and it's easy to implement.
I know that there are other point sites like swagbucks and I think some even have the option to play games for points but mine would focus only on games and the target audience would likely be teenagers who are looking for some spare cash. I'd generate revenue in the beginning from just adsense but in the future I'd like to give people the option to buy points and there would be tournaments that you would have to pay points to play (With higher rewards). I'd also like to contact some companies or something like that, games could be created around their brand and they'd pay me, I think I could charge a good amount for this considering that people are literally interacting with the brand opposed to watching a video or looking at an ad.
My biggest problem is I'm on a very small budget, I think I could create the site with my budget but I don't think I could afford to advertise it. Do you think this is a good idea? Would it be worth trying?
