Still unsure how to manage reward costs?

These common questions will help you budget better and make smarter loyalty decisions.

Why do loyalty programs often go over budget?

Many teams underestimate how user behavior scales especially when rewards are too easy to earn or poorly tiered. This tool helps you simulate real usage scenarios before it's too late.

What variables affect my loyalty reward costs the most?

The biggest drivers are user volume, points-to-currency ratio, redemption frequency, and reward type (e.g., discounts vs. store credit vs. gifts). The calculator lets you experiment with different inputs to find a balance.

How can brands stay profitable while rewarding users?

Fintech brands can tie rewards to value-driving actions (like referrals, card usage, or app engagement) rather than pure spend. Gameball makes this easy by letting you assign points to key behaviors, not just transactions.

Can this tool help me make a business case to stakeholders?

Absolutely. The output includes a breakdown of your projected costs per user and per segment, which is ideal for getting buy-in from finance, operations, and leadership.

How does Gameball support ongoing budget optimization?

With Gameball, you get live dashboards that track reward redemption, cost per segment, and reward ROI. You can adjust rules anytime based on real-world data to keep your program effective and cost-efficient.
