Daily Rewards system in FiveM

One of the problems that every FiveM server faces is maintaining its player base. Daily Rewards is the simplest and most effective solution.

Why must there be Daily Rewards?

• Players who receive the daily reward have a 40% higher chance of returning to play
• Streak system creates FOMO that keeps players coming back.
• Rewards that escalate make players feel "The more you play, the more it's worth it."

M2.DailyRewards settings

Config = {}
Config.TOKEN = "YOUR_LICENSE_TOKEN"

Config.Rewards = {
    [1] = { label = "Day 1", money = 1000, items = {} },
    [2] = { label = "Day 2", money = 2500, items = { {item = "water", amount = 2} } },
    [3] = { label = "Day 3", money = 5000, items = { {item = "sandwich", amount = 3} } },
    [7] = { label = "Day 7 — JACKPOT!", money = 25000, items = { {item = "goldbar", amount = 1} } },
}

Config.ResetAfterMax = true
Config.Cooldown = 22

Integration with ESX

AddEventHandler('M2.DailyRewards:GiveReward', function(src, reward)
    local xPlayer = ESX.GetPlayerFromId(src)
    if not xPlayer then return end
    
    if reward.money > 0 then
        xPlayer.addMoney(reward.money)
    end
    
    for _, item in ipairs(reward.items) do
        xPlayer.addInventoryItem(item.item, item.amount)
    end
end)

Tips for Server Admin

1. Set a reward for escalate — Day 7 must be very attractive.
2. Insert rare items in the last days.
3. Announcement in Discord When someone receives the highest prize.
4. Use cooldown 20-22 hours instead of 24 for timezone flexibility.

Summary

M2.DailyRewards is a worthwhile investment for servers looking to increase retention.
