Hey Creators,
We’re kicking off a limited-time experiment that we’re really excited about — In-Room Cashback, a pilot program designed to reward players who spend tokens inside your rooms.
Before we go any further, we are footing the bill on this one. It should be only upside for you as a creator if you are in the Cashback program – We are encouraging players to spend in your rooms, and we give them a % back as a result – you still cash out and earn at the same rate!
Why Try Cashback?
We want to create stronger incentives for players to engage more deeply with the rooms you build. We have clear evidence that when players invest in a room’s economy, they tend to 1/spend more time there 2/have more fun 3/come back more often – We know, as creators, you’re already building amazing, enriching content, it’s on us to help drive the right incentives to help players engage with that great content.
We know some rooms already do really well with getting the gameplay mechanics right, where the purchasing of content can really make the room more fun or more exciting.
- Ducky’s Penthouse, where players can’t get enough of consumables like the Baseball Bat (hilariously decapitates friends)
- IgnitedBonnie’s Nightmare Mode, where one upgrade makes Bonnie impossible to escape — and watching your friends scream and scatter never gets old.
This is all about seeing if we align interest with incentive – do players see a good opportunity to try out some of that great content you’ve been building!
What Rooms are Eligible?
A room must have generated over 3 million tokens in total in-room spend over the last 3 months. We then did some extra vetting to make sure no low effort spammy content was included. This should be roughly 40-60 rooms. These rooms will gain visibility on the feature page in a carousel called “Limited Cashback Room Promotion (till 6/16)” that illustrates the cashback promotion. This will be featured prominently on the Play watch menu.
How Does it Work?
- Dates: June 6th – June 16th (two full weekends included)
- 20% token cashback on UGC in room purchases in eligible rooms*
- Custom avatar items, inventions, consumables, currencies, keys, and offers
- Eligibility: All Rec Room players
- We issue a one time manual token refund within 72 hours after promo ends
- Cap: 60,000 tokens refunded per player (300,000 token spend limit)
- Minimum: 3,000 token in spend (total across any of the rooms in the list) to be eligible for minimum payout (600 tokens)
To be extremely clear → Cashback means – We , Rec Room, are giving tokens back to players who spend in the eligible rooms. You as a creator should only benefit from this program – the more players spend, the more you earn – We, Rec Room, are refunding the players, not you!
Feel free to customize or advertise in your room (if it was selected and is showing up in the list) to ride the momentum of the promotion! Add posters, add banners, tell players – this is a great chance to leverage the summer momentum and encourage players to try out the awesome content you’ve spent your blood, sweat, and tears building.
TLDR FOR PLAYERS
- Go in game > Play > find the ‘Limited Cashback Room Promotion’ rooms list
- Click ‘View More’ and check out all ~50 rooms
- If you spend a collective minimum of 3,000 tokens (total across any / all rooms in this list) you’ll get 20% of your tokens back (Rec Room covers this not the creators)
- The Tokens cashback will show up as a gift box within 72 hours after the event ends
EXAMPLE
If you spend a collective 25,000 tokens across all of the promo rooms during the promo period - you’ll get a gift box with 5,000 tokens in it from Rec Room once the promo concludes. Your spending could look like 25,000 tokens spent in one room. Or 1k, 2k, 500, 500, and 21k tokens spent across 5 rooms. Either gets the same 5k tokens cashback.
FAQ
When will players get their cashback?
Once the promotion ends, on 6/16, we will begin to issue manual refunds over the next 72 hours. A player will receive a giftbox that says “CashBack Tokens!”, which when opened will replenish your token balance from the promotion.
What are the Terms & Conditions?
TLDR: We reserve the right to review any transactions to deem eligibility, and purchases from owners or co-owners of a room are deemed ineligible.
