Raptr introduces new rewards program

The Raptr gaming community has launched Raptr Rewards, a program that will give away 350,000 free prizes totaling $1.3 million in value to active participants.

By using the service and ranking up, gamers can earn free video games, downloadable content, beta codes, discounts, and more.

“We see Raptr Rewards as a natural evolution of what Raptr can do for gamers,” CEO Dennis Fong said. "Raptr’s reputation system already ranks players based on their skills and activity in their games. We’re now taking the next step in rewarding players for the time and effort they’ve invested in these games.”

The beta version of the program will distribute rewards on a first-come, first-served basis. Gamers can claim the following rewards during the month of May:

• Exclusive in-game items for Blacklight: Retribution
• Major discounts on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3-branded Logitech G-Series peripherals
• Early access codes for Diablo III
• Major discounts for Gunnar gaming eyewear
• Beta access for Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
• Consoles, rare collectibles, and in-game items for Mass Effect 3
• Microsoft Gold package, featuring a free one month Gold subscription, plus Xbox LIVE Arcade games
• Free copies of Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition
• Free copies of RIFT, as well as upgrade to Collector’s Edition
• Exclusive in-game items and currency for Shin Megami Tensei Imagine, Pandora Saga
