Abstract: A point pass-on system is provided which permits users to utilize points without restrictions on use units and purposes and increase a point recovery rate. The amount of points held by a user is converted to reference points based on a conversion rate stored in a conversion rate database, and the reference points are stored in a member database. A content providing unit collects a participation fee from the user by the reference points and provides the user with content such as a game, auction, survey, contest or the like. A point management unit 16 manages the participation fee and the balance of bet as well when the content is accompanied by a bet, and accumulates all the reference points consumed thereby as consumed points in a point consumption database. The point management unit distributes the consumed points stored in the point consumption database to virtual shops and real shops and notifies them of the distribution.
