Abstract: A notification regarding a real-money application is transmitted to a user of a second application when the user is executing the second application. The notification conveys a reward available to the user within the second application in exchange for performing a required action in the real-money application. Upon selection of a control object by the user, the real-money application is executed with reference to the user so as to provide the user with an interface to perform the required action in the real-money application. Upon determining that the user completed the required action in the real-money application, a status of the user is updated in the second application to provide the user with the reward in the second application corresponding to completion of the required action in the real-money application.

Abstract: A virtual vault is generated and displayed for a user of a real-money application and is defined to hold in trust real-money rewards for the user. Each real-money reward is redeemable for real-world monetary value within the real-money application. The virtual vault includes respective reward graphics for the real-money rewards for the user. Upon selection of a reward graphic by the user, a determination is made as to whether or not the user is qualified to receive a real-money reward corresponding to the selected reward graphic. If the user is qualified to receive the real-money reward, the user is credited with a real-world monetary value specified by the real-money reward. Or, if the user is not qualified to receive the real-money reward, the user is notified of one or more actions required by the user in order to qualify for receipt of the real-money reward.
