The atmosphere is game show, but matter at hand is not trivial. The rules here are the rules for survival of the fittest: everyone participating feels the struggle, the loser sacrifices everything for naught, and the winner victoriously takes the prize. Sounds easy, right? Play the game. BONUS: All accounts are now interest bearing! Play it smart and you'll never have to purchase additional funding, even if you keep losing. Just don't go bankrupt (always good advice)! Race for the Money is not a game of chance. Money spent playing may even be considered an educational expense! This is not sponsored by Apple. Laws of thermodynamics may apply. ***** "Money won is twice as sweet as money earned." -- Paul Newman "The goal is to win. It's not about making money. I have many much less risky ways of making money than this. I don't want to throw my money away, but it's really about having fun and that means success and trophies." -- Roman Abramovich "Success is a matter of not quitting and failure is a matter of giving up too soon." -- Robert H. Schuller "Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up." -- Thomas Edison "Succeeding is not really a life experience that does that much good. Failing is a much more sobering and enlightening experience." -- Michael Eisner "We all have to decide how we are going to fail . . . by not going far enough or by going too far. Success is not built on success. It's built on failure. It's built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe." -- Sumner Redstone "My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure." -- Abraham Lincoln "Failure is the opportunity to begin again, more intelligently." -- Henry Ford ## Key features - Daily cash races - Weekend special races - Dollar Auction simulation - Social competition - Interest-bearing accounts - Skill-based gameplay ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Money +1 | $0.99 | one-time | | Money +5 | $3.99 | one-time | | Money +10 | $6.99 | one-time | | Money +5 Intro Discount | $0.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (5 of 5) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/race-for-the-money/id384491285/reviews.md ### 3/5 — addicting *2025-02-20, version 4.0.0* You can’t cash out. I think it’s rigged. But I’m addicted to the concept I might overcome this challenge. There’s no way it represents actual other people in the world playing it, it’s a simulation. I love that it has a basis in economic philosophy, and the trick is maybe I can somehow use good practices to make the microcosm mean good things for the macrocasm, but maybe it’s like the test they gave Captain Kirk in the academy and he had to chest to win. Update: The app stopped working and the developer’s website won’t load. The whole thing is very mysterious. I hope it fixes itself soon. ### 5/5 — addicting *2025-01-20* You can’t cash out.

Took my money but crashes 1second after opening ### 1/5 — Doesn't work! *2011-05-14, version 1.1.0* App opens for less than a second then closes ### 4/5 — Where eBay meets Vegas *2010-10-15, version 0* It has a rather odd interface for a game, but I suppose games like Roulette and Blackjack would be considered odd, too, if we weren't all so familiar with the wheel/ball and deck/cards respectively. It has potential, though. Works as promised, but really needs more players to reach its full potential. I'd like to see an iPad version with a bigger race track. ## Frequently asked questions about Race for the Money ### How many races are available in Race for the Money?
