Update: Cashrewards closed in September 2025. It is not a live cashback app. People still search this comparison, so here is the honest version.
If you want the old Cashrewards habit — click a store, buy, wait, get a percentage back — that model now lives on apps like ShopBack. ROOPON is a different product.
What Cashrewards was
Cashrewards was a free cashback platform. You clicked through to a retailer, completed a purchase, waited for tracking to confirm (often 30–90 days), then withdrew once you hit a minimum. It did not run prize draws.
That model is still useful. It is just not Cashrewards anymore.
What ROOPON is
ROOPON is a paid Australian membership club. Membership starts from $19.99/month (Basic) and scales through Premium, Elite, and Ultimate. Cancel anytime.
You get:
- Partner discounts at checkout — not a pending cashback wallet
- Member deals and tools (including the payday allocator and subscription tracker)
- FREE Included prize-draw entries per your plan. Basic includes 5 FREE entries per billing cycle; higher tiers include more
- Extra FREE entries for a specific live campaign, sold separately
- Published winners on roopon.com/winners
Current prizes and rules are on roopon.com/giveaways. Prize amounts and dates change. Winning is not guaranteed.
You are not buying a “prize ticket”. You are paying for membership. FREE Draw entries are a benefit of that membership, plus any extra package you choose to buy for a specific campaign.

When a cashback app is enough
Use ShopBack (or another live cashback app) if you shop across many sites, will not use ROOPON partner codes, and do not want a membership fee. There is no reason to pay for a club you will ignore.
When ROOPON is the better next step
Join ROOPON if you will use partner discounts and you want those FREE included draw entries. Check live campaigns before you join.
Do not join because someone promised a fixed weekly prize. Read the campaign terms.
Can you use cashback and ROOPON together?
Yes — with ShopBack or another live cashback app, not with Cashrewards. Stacking rules vary by store. See ROOPON vs ShopBack and the longer write-up at roopon.com/blog/roopon-vs-cashrewards-australia.
