I Tried Rakuten Point Mall's "Mall Gacha" for a Shot at Up to 10,000 Points

Good morning. It’s まさきん.

While going through my usual morning lotteries, I came across something called Mall Gacha. It’s a free lottery on a site called Rakuten Point Mall. The top prize is 10,000 points, so I gave it a spin right away.

What kind of campaign is this?

Rakuten has several “play and earn” campaigns. In a previous post, I covered Lucky Kuji and Karuta.

Mall Gacha is a little different. It’s run by Rakuten Point Mall, which is a shopping site. It felt like a separate entry point from the Point Club app.

How to join and what you can win

It’s simple. Register for a free Rakuten Point Mall membership, then press the gacha button.

In the first spin, 1st prize is 10,000 points for 1 winner. 2nd prize is 1,000 points for 1 winner, and 3rd prize is 1 point for 50,000 winners.

If you then watch a video ad, you can move on to a second spin. There, 1st prize is 100 points for 100 winners, and 2nd prize is 1 point for 50,000 winners.

Points you win are given as limited-time points. They’re valid for 2 months, and it takes about a week for them to be credited. It runs every day from 0:00 to 23:59 and seems to be a permanent campaign.

I feel that point hacking works best when your daily life is set up to earn points easily. Our household has put all our phone plans on Rakuten Mobile, and we got up to 14,000 points through a referral when we switched. If you haven’t yet, it’s worth a look.

What I found a bit confusing

What surprised me most was the gap in winning odds. The 3rd prize of 1 point goes to as many as 50,000 people, while the 10,000-point top prize goes to just 1.

Looking only at the numbers, it may feel more like a participation prize than a real win. Still, since it’s free to spin, it’s an easy one to try.

Another thing: the second spin only appears after the first one. If you don’t watch the video ad, the second gacha doesn’t even show up.

It’s also easy to overlook that these are limited-time points. They expire sooner than regular points, so it’s safer to decide in advance how you’ll use them.

Things to check before you join

Here’s a quick summary of points worth checking before you take part.

• You need a free Rakuten Point Mall membership
• There’s no individual notification if you win, and points are credited about a week later
• What you get are limited-time points, valid for 2 months

I’ve also written up our household’s “daily lottery habit” in a previous post. Mall Gacha has a similar feel, so it should be easy to work into your routine.

Summary

Mall Gacha is a campaign you can try every day once you sign up for a free Rakuten Point Mall membership. The 10,000-point top prize is a long shot, but watching a video ad gets you a second spin.

Cutting fixed costs also plays a part in setting up a life where points add up easily. Our household puts our monthly phone bills on Rakuten Mobile. If you switch, you’re eligible for up to 14,000 points through a referral. If you haven’t yet, take a look at this too.
