Long Game is a savings platform. Long Game encourages people to create and build a savings account in a way that’s fun and accessible — by rewarding them with real prizes for positive saving behaviors.
How does it work? It’s a concept called “Prize-Linked Savings” — and it’s already helped millions of people outside the United States save billions of dollars. As savers maintain and grow their savings, they are rewarded with entries to play games where they can win real prizes.
The money in a Long Game account is always accessible and can be withdrawn at any time. The best part is that savers get chances to win up to $1,000,000 for maintaining and growing their balances.
Long Game is the first company to bring Prize-Linked Savings to the American market — and thanks to the American Savings and Promotion Act (ASPA) of 2014, this new savings mechanism is federally authorized. Long Game is inspired by the ASPA, but due to the current legal landscape, relies on sweepstake law to run savings promotions. Using Long Game, savers receive entries into sweepstakes for saving their money, and these entries allow them to play for prizes (see official rules for details). Savers never lose their money.
Long Game awards up to $5,000 daily in prizes. Guaranteed $500 and $100 winners every week with chances to win $100,000 and $1,000,000.
