When PC gamers use Eamonn, the Spyware and Adware-free service and program offered by JACT, it tracks the amount of time they spend playing games on their PC and awards them with BUX based on that time. Users can then spend their BUX in the JACT Mall on thousands of prizes ranging from new games and PC components to yoga mats and cook books. The millions of JACT BUX already rewarded equate to over one million cumulative hours of logged game play by JACT users since the service began.

"We've all been so incredibly impressed with how well users have responded to the service during our initial beta phase which we believe reinforces the vitality of PC gaming," said Jimmy Yang, JACT president and co-founder. "We started JACT with the purpose of rewarding PC gamers for what they already love doing. We'd like to show that the industry is as strong and vibrant as ever. After reading all of the user-submitted reviews on the site, I can't help but feel like we're well on our way to doing just that," continued Yang.

To ensure the validity and safety of the proprietary Eamonn program JACT developed to reward BUX, the development team consistently tests and scans its software with the latest and most popular virus, spyware/malware and key logger See keystroke logger.  detection services to ensure Eamonn meets all guidelines for safety and security.
