    SHOPBACK may be most known for letting its customers earn cashback on their shopping, but the firm is increasingly leaning into other non-transactional use cases like allowing users to earn rewards by playing mobile games.

    This feature, called ShopBack Play, marks the company’s entry into a “play-to-earn” ecosystem, the firm said in April. In Hong Kong, the feature has given back over HK$5 million (S$813,133) to users since its launch.

    ShopBack Play was released in six markets in January last year.
