PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a reward point management system for managing reward points, which allows a user to flexibly use reward points according to a game medium. SOLUTION: A Pachinko game machine 5 is connected with a dispensing machine 3 for supplying game balls, and the dispensing machine 3 is connected to a hall server 2. The hall server 2 is connected with a counter 4, and further connected with a reward point server 1 through the Internet 90. A non-contact IC card provided at a player's mobile phone 6 stores a user ID. The dispensing machine 3 and the counter 4 are allowed to read the user ID of the non-contact IC card. The mobile phone 6 is allowed to be connected to the reward point server 1 through a mobile phone network 91 via the Internet 90. The player can store the number of acquired game balls in the reward point server 1 or take out the reward points from the reward point server 1 to play a game. The reward points are allowed to be exchanged between the users and used for shopping. Further, the reward points are exchanged with those of another reward point management system.
