Even a small adoption of the reward token could see up to $300 million used to fund environmental initiatives and provide clubs with funding to benefit the community.

In a small coastal town just north of Brisbane, Queensland, 20 members of the Coolum Surf Club have been taking part in an initial trial of the Erth Point System, a crypto rewards platform from the Australian company Rewards4Earth.

Doug Flockhart, former CEO of Clubs Queensland, the body for community clubs in the state, spoke to Cointelegraph about how his goal is to integrate the system through over 1,000 community clubs across Australia.

Flockhart said the top professional rugby league competition, the National Rugby League (NRL) “are very keen” on the idea and for Flockhart, it “confirms the capacity of this system to deliver”. The top Australian rules football competition, the Australian Football League (AFL) has also expressed interest he added.
