How much does it cost?
While the core Island Saver game is completely free of charge, the Fantasy Island Saver expansion pack costs £4. NatWest does not make any money whatsoever from the sale of this pack. Instead, net proceeds will be given to the game developers, Stormcloud, and donated to two important charities: Young Money, which provides resources and training to those teaching young people money management skills, and SpecialEffect, which helps enable people with physical disabilities to play video games.
This nominal cost also enables the free game to be available on all major gaming platforms, and simultaneously introduces a real-world money decision at a fixed, pocket-money friendly price point. There are absolutely no in-game purchases, and no hidden costs.
