Bounty, and what to spend it on
Last reviewed 3 September 2026
Two numbers, and people mix them up constantly. XP is the score — it sets your level and rank and cannot be spent. Bounty is the money — it is spent, and earning XP does not add any.
What earns Bounty
| What you did | Bounty |
|---|---|
| Mark a game Completed | 50, once per game |
| Have an answer accepted as a solution | 25 |
| Write a review of a game | 15, once per game |
| Claim your daily streak | 10 to 60, depending on the run |
| Finish a quest | whatever the quest says |
| Publish an article (staff) | 30, or 75 for a review |
The "once per game" ones are remembered against the game, not against the row on your shelf — so removing a game and adding it back does not pay twice, and neither does un-completing and re-completing it.
What it buys
Profile customisations — themes, frames, badges and post colours, from free up to 1,500 — and a small rewards catalogue on top of that: a profile spotlight, a custom username colour, a shop discount, a theme, a badge and a frame, priced 250 to 1,500.
It does not buy anything real
Bounty is not money, cannot be bought with money, cannot be cashed out and cannot be transferred to another account. It exists so the things you do here add up to something visible.
Where to see the balance
On your own profile. Every award and every purchase is written down, so the number can always be accounted for.
