Gaming isn’t just about the games anymore. With MoneyLion Games, you can turn your gaming victories into real financial wins. But to make the most of it, you need to get started. One smart option is to open a RoarMoney℠ banking account so you can cash out your rewards. Level up your finances while gaming!

Choose an account for your rewards to be deposited – RoarMoney is one of them!

Before diving into perks, your first step is to open an account. RoarMoney is a great option for plenty of reasons — here are just a few:

  • Make money easy: Get paid up to 2 days early1 and access up to $1,0002 of interest-free Instacash with direct deposits.

  • Get cash: Earn up to $500 in cashback on 5 qualifying purchases of $10+ with Shake ‘n’ Bank rewards every month.

  • Invest effortlessly: Start investing with your spare change using Round Ups.

Once your RoarMoney account is set up, you can start using features like Shake ‘N’ Bank. This feature makes spending money rewarding. For the first 5 qualifying purchases of $10 or more each month, you get the chance to “shake” your phone and earn cash — up to $500 per qualifying purchase. Can your current debit card do that? (We’re guessing not!)

  • How to maximize it: Use your MoneyLion Debit Mastercard® for everyday purchases like groceries or gas.

  • Why it matters: Shake ‘N’ Bank turns routine spending into an opportunity to help build your financial base.

Setting aside money doesn’t have to be tedious. MoneyLion’s Round Ups feature makes it effortless by rounding up every qualifying transaction you make to the nearest dollar. The difference is then transferred.

  • Where it’s transferred: Choose to invest in a Managed Investing account or purchase Bitcoin 

  • Why it works: Round Ups helps you set aside your spare change. Over time, that spare change can really add up.

Now that your account is funded, it’s time to start investing. Whether you’re new to investing or looking to help grow your portfolio, MoneyLion’s Managed Investing account and tools are designed to simplify the process.

  • Why it’s easy: You don’t need prior experience to get started. MoneyLion’s platform makes investing straightforward and beginner-friendly.

  • How it helps: By reinvesting your gaming rewards, you’re setting aside cash before you even get tempted to spend it.

Still unsure if it’s worth it? Many gamers have already turned their rewards into tangible financial progress. From paying off debts to investing, the results speak for themselves.

  • What to watch: Check out testimonials and short videos of users who’ve transformed their gaming rewards into real-life wins.

Gaming is fun, but it’s even better when it helps you achieve your financial goals. Don’t leave your gaming rewards unused and consider this as one way to redeem your points. Open a RoarMoney or Managed Investing account today and start turning them into real money moves.
