BR1 Infinite, an invite-only PC extraction shooter, is offering players real-money rewards for playtime and kills, while charging $1 each time they spawn into a match. The model has prompted concern because poor performance can cost players money, potentially blurring the line between gaming and gambling and creating incentives for cheating.

The game reportedly pays $10 an hour and $1 per kill, and its developers say testers have received more than $100,000 so far, including free spawns. Players can also loot and extract cash drops and trade operatives and skins; critics warn the system may encourage boosting and exploits, while the article notes no obvious age verification despite the financial mechanics. Backed by investors including PUBG publisher Krafton, the project has attracted 40,000 Discord members despite longstanding online scepticism.
