Belgians get their phone bill reimbursed by gaming

If you work so many hours a day or week gamen it would be nice if there was something in return, wouldn’t it? Of course gaming is very entertaining, but what if you could also earn money with it? We’re not referring to a career as a Twitch streamer or game journalist this time. A Belgian provider called Mobile Vikings now has a promotion that allows you to game your phone bill to 0 euros in a game.

PSN of Steam

It has teamed up with gaming company VCTRY to come up with challenges for gamers throughout October that will ultimately pay them only $0 on their phone bill that month. The telecom provider, which falls under the umbrella of Proximus, has never done this before. You do need a PSN or Steam account to take advantage of the offer.

You can get trophies on the PlayStation or achievements on Steam to earn Viking Points this month. You do need to link your account on Steam or PlayStation to a Mobile Vikings account. So it’s not like you have to play certain games or do some lame advertising game devised by an obviously non-gaming marketing team.

You just play the games you normally would, only now you earn those Viking points in addition to your regular trophies and achievements. And with one Viking point you earn 1 euro.

Save Viking points

In addition, there are weekly challenges that you can join to earn even more Viking Points. You can use Viking Points as calling credit or as a discount on your account. If you are really fanatical, it is possible that you even manage to get your account to 0. There is also an ultimate winner: he gets 1 year of unlimited Mobile Vikings for free.

Kind of stupid for anyone who doesn’t use Mobile Vikings, you’d think. Fortunately, the promotion is also for people who are not customers. So you can’t get a discount on your phone bill, but you can win headsets, merchandise from Ubisoft and other prizes. It’s nice that you can still earn something even without being a customer with your gaming behavior. You must then create a Mobile Vikings account.

Gaming for your phone bill

Maarten Raes, Brand & Marcomms Lead says: “62% of Belgians played a digital game in 2020. At Mobile Vikings we are constantly looking for ways to reduce everyone’s phone bill, so why not reward our customers for their favorite pastime?”

Good luck with gaming!
