Coverd is an American financial technology company headquartered in New York City. The company operates a mobile application that combines consumer spending rewards with sweepstakes-style gameplay, allowing users to win cash back on everyday purchases.

Coverd's platform allows users to link existing debit or credit cards to its mobile application via Plaid, a financial data aggregation service. Users earn in-app currency called "Coverd Cash," which can be used to play casino-style games for a chance to win cash prizes of up to 100% of eligible purchase amounts as statement credits.

The application operates as a sweepstakes promotion under applicable United States federal and state law. No purchase is necessary to participate; users may obtain Coverd Cash through alternative means of entry, including a mail-in request method.

Coverd has been described as applying to consumer credit cards the same gamification approach that Robinhood applied to retail investing. The platform reframes routine spending as a "win-back mini-game," where users stake potential cashback rewards against a chance to win larger prizes.^[1] The company has described its offering as providing users "up to 100% back" while they "play fun games for a chance to get credit card purchases covered."

The application uses geofencing technology to restrict access in jurisdictions where sweepstakes gaming is prohibited. Coverd uses Plaid identity verification for user onboarding and compliance with applicable regulations.

Coverd was founded and is based in New York City. In 2025, the company raised a seed funding round of $7.8 million to develop its gamified personal finance platform.^[2] The company launched its consumer application in September 2025.^[3]

The company announced plans to launch a co-branded credit card that would allow cardholders to earn additional gameplay credits based on card spending.

View from the Wing, a consumer finance and travel publication, described Coverd as turning credit card spending into "an actual slot machine" and characterized its model as a natural extension of the gamification trend in consumer finance.^[1] The publication noted that "the real innovation [of Robinhood] was reframing trading as entertainment," and that Coverd applies a similar premise to everyday spending.^[1]
