If we told you there was an app that pays you to play mobile games or go on shopping sprees, chances are you'd say "yeah, right."

Boasting a four-star rating on both the Google Play Store and App Store, plenty of people flock to this rewards app to get money back on their shopping - I mean, it's basically free money. However, you can also play a bunch of mobile games and get paid doing so.
How does it work? Well, developers and publishers want their hard work seen by plenty of players, and so they strike deals with ShopBack in order to get players invested. So, when you're getting paid to play some games, developers get vital information on when (if) you gave up on a game, while ShopBack earns money for promoting it to you. Win. Win. Win.
