By playing games that are made by thndr games as well as using Wallet of Satoshi you can get free satoshis every hour without any "play to earn" gimmicks.

TL;DR - download bitcoin bounce and wallet of satoshi to your mobile device and you can earn some free sats. The string to attach is that you'll need to watch some advertisements in-app every now and then.

Personally when I heard about thndr games, there was literally only one game I played from them and that is "bitcoin bounce." it's kind of like flappy birds, but with the theme being bitcoin-ized in unity or unreal engine.

You can find all of their games on this website: https://www.thndr.games/

After playing for a few hours (at least for bitcoin bounce, not sure about their other titles) you can earn a few satoshis that can then be withdrawn to "Wallet of Satoshi" or "phoenix wallet" on your mobile device.

If you're looking for a new and free way to get onboarded to the lightning network and see what it's like, then I recommend at least trying this out if you don't have cash to spend on bitcoin itself.
