What Loyalty Points actually are
Most social casinos give you nothing but entertainment for your time. PLAYSTUDIOS built a second layer on top: every spin, bonus collect, challenge and tournament also pays myVIP Loyalty Points, and those points are spent in a catalogue of real-world rewards rather than on Chips. The Chips keep you playing; the points are the part that leaves the game. That is why it is worth understanding the earn rates even if you never intend to redeem anything, because the ladder also raises what your in-game bonuses pay.
Where the points come from
The rates are not published in full, but the pattern is consistent and community tracking has pinned down the main ones. Spinning earns at a low rate per Chip wagered that varies by machine and tier, which means the repeatable actions matter more than any single big session.
- Two-hour timed bonus: Around 5 points a collect. Eight collections in a day is roughly 40 points for almost no time.
- Daily login: About 30 points a day, and it is the single easiest item on this list.
- Daily challenges: Points on completion alongside the Chip payout, once they unlock at level 15.
- Tournaments: Points for entering and placing, on top of the Chip prizes.
- Spins: A small rate per Chip wagered, varying by machine and by your tier.
There is no daily points cap
This is worth stating plainly because it circulates as fact, including in our own earlier version of this guide: there is no documented daily cap on Loyalty Points in myKONAMI Slots. If your points appear to have stopped moving, the likelier explanations are that you are between timed bonuses, that the machine you are on earns at a lower rate, or that the day's challenges are already complete. Play on and they keep accruing. The real limits in the PLAYSTUDIOS ecosystem sit on the redemption side, where individual rewards have their own availability and frequency rules, not on earning.
The seven myVIP tiers
myVIP runs seven tiers, from Turquoise at the bottom up to Tanzanite at the top, and progress is measured in points earned rather than money spent. Tiers compound: the higher you sit, the more each activity pays, which is the argument for consistency over intensity. The third tier is reachable on daily play alone, and most regular free players settle somewhere in the middle of the ladder without ever buying anything.
Tanzanite and the personal host
The top tier, Tanzanite, comes with a personal myVIP host. Community reports describe hosts sending ad-hoc Chip bonuses, making exceptions on redemption rules and finding access to rewards that show as unavailable in the catalogue. PLAYSTUDIOS does not publish what the tier includes, so treat the specifics as reported rather than guaranteed. What is not in doubt is that the tier exists and that reaching it takes sustained play rather than a single spending decision.
How redemption works
Rewards live in the playAWARDS catalogue, reachable from inside the game, and cover hotel stays, dining, show tickets and experiences, heavily weighted toward MGM Resorts properties. You browse, you spend points, and you receive a code or booking to use in the real world. Two practical notes: the catalogue depends on where you are, and it is much richer for players in the United States and particularly around Las Vegas, so check what your region actually offers before setting a target. Availability also moves, so a reward you are saving for may not be there when you arrive.
Pool your points across the PLAYSTUDIOS apps
This is the highest-value thing to know in this guide. myVIP is not specific to myKONAMI: the same account and the same point balance run across PLAYSTUDIOS' other titles, including myVEGAS Slots, POP! Slots and MGM Slots Live. A short daily routine across several of their apps, collecting the login and a couple of timed bonuses in each, comfortably clears 170 points a day without a long session in any one of them. If you already play more than one, make sure they are all on the same account, because two accounts means two half-built tiers instead of one good one.
The mistakes that waste points
Most lost value comes from admin rather than play. Not linking your accounts across the PLAYSTUDIOS apps splits your earning. Redeeming early on a small reward, when a few weeks of the same routine would reach something worth several times more, is the other common one. And ignoring the tier thresholds means you spend months earning at a lower rate than you could have. Check where the next tier sits, then decide whether to spend or hold.
