Mistplay's Economy Disclosure

LAST UPDATED: July 25, 2024

By joining the Mistplay Rewards Program, you can play and earn your way toward gift cards and other rewards in the in-app Mistplay Shop. To join the Mistplay Rewards Program, sign up for an account on the Mistplay application, available for Android devices via the Google Play Store.

Mistplay promotes the games of various game developers (Game Partners) to provide you with the Rewards Program. As part of our promotional offerings, there are many ways for you to earn and accumulate units and gems, which are the two types of Mistplay in-app rewards. Below is a general overview of units and gems, and how you can accumulate them by playing new games discovered through the Mistplay app to redeem gift cards in the Shop. Be sure to check the app often for new ways to earn.

Units and Gems

Mistplay provides two types of rewards, units and gems, which can be converted or exchanged for gift cards and other offerings in our Shop. You can accumulate units by playing new games that you discover through the Mistplay app, and by undertaking certain tasks or promotional offers. You can also acquire gems by making in-game purchases within one of many Loyalty games listed in-app. Loyalty games have a gem icon on their game tile. Availability and status of Loyalty games may vary by time, user, and location.

The Mistplay Rewards Program aims to provide you with a personalized experience. The games and promotional offers available to you, and the amount of units that you can earn for your gameplay, are unique to your Mistplay account. They are not the same for all Mistplay users. Game selection, the availability of promotional offers and sweepstakes, and the rates at which units and gems accumulate in your wallet vary among users, and may continue to change based on multiple factors. These factors include your behavior in the Mistplay app, preferences Mistplay identifies through your engagement with games and offers on our platform, your location, limits set by our Game Partners, and more. Rules related to promotional offers and features are available in-app. Gift cards and other reward offerings in the Shop, including redemption values and promotional discounted offerings, may also vary by user, provider, and location.

To acquire units and gems, you can:

Play new games discovered through Mistplay, reach game checkpoints, and make in-game purchases in Loyalty games.
Participate in sweepstakes, special offers, or promotions; applicable rules and limitations are communicated in-app.
Take on new challenges and special tasks or features (e.g. friend referrals, Daily Task events, leaderboard tournaments, etc.)
Maintain your Daily Streak by actively playing each day.

When you discover and install a new game through Mistplay, make in-game purchases, or participate in promotional events, there can be pending time windows that apply before you receive units or gems in your wallet. These time windows enable Mistplay to check compliance with program rules, verify your completion of tasks and promotional offerings with Game Partners, including the discovery of new games through the Mistplay app, and prevent fraudulent activity. To complete this process, Mistplay might require information about your game discovery and activity from the Game Partner. If a Game Partner is unable to verify your in-game purchase, or indicates that said purchase is canceled, suspicious, or invalid – or if the Game Partner cannot confirm that you first discovered the game through Mistplay, whether due to technical issues or otherwise – then Mistplay may not be able to reward you for the task completion or action taken.

How Units are Calculated

You can verify your unit balance by checking your Mistplay dashboard or wallet located in the Shop. You will continue earning units as you reach new game checkpoints. The speed at which you reach game checkpoints is based on the Game Experience Points (GXP) earned per minute of playtime. The amount of units earned at each checkpoint is based on the baseline checkpoint units multiplied by the unit multiplier (UM) of the game. The UM is personal to you and is determined based on how you interact with different games discovered through the Mistplay app.

For every minute you play a game from your Mistplay selection, you will earn Game Experience Points (GXP). Your rate of earning GXP can vary by game and user. Accumulating GXP in a game then enables you to reach the next checkpoint in that game. You can even earn GXP toward game checkpoints in multiple different games at once. Each game has a 2-hour daily cap on earning GXP, unless there are special circumstances in which the 2-hour cap can be lifted, such as for a leaderboard tournament or event.

For each game checkpoint that you reach, you will be rewarded a set amount of units, calculated as a base amount of units multiplied by the unit multiplier. Each game has a maximum number of checkpoints. Once you’ve reached all checkpoints in a specific game, you can continue earning GXP, but you can no longer earn units for playing that game. The UM for units earned at each checkpoint is unique to each game and can be found on each game tile. The maximum UM for all games available to you is based on your Loyalty Tier Status.

Example of how the UM works:

If a user earns a base of 20 units and the game offers a UM of 5, then the user will earn (20 * 5) or 100 units at each game checkpoint.

You can also gain Player Experience Points (PXP) at each game checkpoint. Accumulating PXP will enable you to reach higher player levels, gaining additional units each time you level up. Certain games may offer a PXP multiplier, which would be applied to the base level of PXP that you earn at each game checkpoint. For instance, if a user earns a base of 200 PXP by reaching a game checkpoint, and the PXP multiplier for that game is 2, the user would earn (200 * 2) or 400 PXP at that checkpoint.

How Gems are Calculated

You can acquire a certain amount of gems for every dollar you spend in a Loyalty game. You can also acquire gems by undertaking Daily Tasks and promotional offerings for gems. Gems can be converted to units for greater spend in the Shop. The amount of gems per dollar spent can be found in the Game Details page and may vary by game and user alike. In addition, Mistplay may offer limited-time gem boosts in various Loyalty games. A gem boost provides a multiplier on the base amount of gems that you can receive for in-game purchases.

Each Game Partner provides Mistplay with information to verify your purchases. Restrictions on your ability to acquire gems may vary by game. There is a maximum cap on the amount of gems that you can receive for your spend in each game. In addition, there may be a limited time window after installation of a game in which you are eligible to acquire gems. Caps and time windows all vary by game, according to each Game Partner. Once a game’s Loyalty status has expired, you will no longer be able to accumulate gems for your spend in that game. Information about a game’s Loyalty status and your ability to earn gems can be found in the Game Details page.

Loyalty Tier Status

Acquiring gems can advance your Loyalty Tier Status from Bronze to Silver, Gold, and Platinum, in order to unlock more rewards. You can find the benefits and entry criteria for each tier in-app. For example, as you advance your tier, you can access higher UMs and more opportunities for earnings and rewards. To stay in your current tier, certain requirements may apply. For instance, you may have to acquire a minimum number of gems per month to stay in a particular Tier Status. Mistplay occasionally rolls out new Tier entry criteria and benefits. Notifications of such changes will similarly be provided in-app.

Things to Know About Earning Units and Gems

You cannot purchase units or gems when using our applications.
Mistplay only rewards your play and spend in games that you’ve newly discovered through the Mistplay platform.

You cannot transfer units and gems between accounts, applications, or to someone else.
When you have enough units, you can redeem them for rewards or gift cards with a total maximum value of $550.00 USD per year.
You can progress through game checkpoints to earn units for up to two hours of playtime per game daily, with limited exceptions for games in promotional offerings and features, such as leaderboards.
Units and gems can expire if you do not log into the Mistplay app or earn rewards for 180 days.
Offers and promotions can vary or be limited in time. The gift cards and offerings in the Shop, and the structure of rewards, promotions, incentives, tiers, and features can change from time to time and from user to user.
