Often comes unexpectedly. And for some GTA Online players in the form of additional millions in the in-game bank account that they would not have expected. A glitch in the multiplayer mode of Grand Theft Auto 5 currently ensures that Players paid out the $ 500,000 bonus multiple times
This is despite the fact that this bonus should only have been distributed once per person. On Reddit, GTA Online players are currently reporting that they have already received up to three times the $ 500,000 gift, which is what a total of 1.5 million in-game currency summed up.

In GTA Online you can easily get rich right now
The glitch is not reproducible: Before you are happy too early: At the moment the Reddit community has not figured out whether and how the glitch can be triggered in a targeted manner. So it seems to be entirely up to chance who gets the $ 500,000 two or three times – or not once.
Not every player gets money: The fact that something is currently wrong with the bonus payout in GTA Online is underpinned by the fact that some players receive no money at all – not even the one-time payment of $ 500,000.
How does Rockstar react to the mistake? Rockstar Games has not yet commented on how to deal with this error. However, as GTA Online is updated weekly, the glitch could come to an end soon.
We asked Rockstar how to deal with the issue, but we had no response at the time of writing this article.
Do players affected by the glitch have to fear consequences? At the moment we don't know how Rockstar will deal with the problem. Again, we asked the GTA developer for official information, but have not yet received an answer.
However, it cannot be ruled out whether Rockstar will withdraw the additional money from players. Accordingly, those affected by the glitch should not be happy too early and think twice about spending the additional money. Either way, at least the players who have not yet received $ 500,000 should be compensated.

Red Dead Online: The most popular in-game currency is only available today
Why is Rockstar giving away money? It is nothing new for Rockstar players from GTA Online or Red Dead Online to receive regular bonuses in the form of in-game currencies. The developer wants to reward his players for their loyalty and keep them going.
For example, every GTA Online player currently receives a bonus of $ 500,000 by the end of April. Already in February each player of the multiplayer mode from GTA 5 received two million of the in-game currency for free. And also in Red Dead Online, players have the last chance today, on April 14, 2020, to collect five gold bars for free.
