Abstract
Systems and methods to facilitate usage of multiple currencies having different utilities for different types of players within an online gaming platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may execute instances of a game; control player accounts associated with the players; facilitate usage of a first currency that is exchangeable for a first set of utilities by players of a first player type, including a first player; facilitate usage of a second currency that is usable to upgrade players from the first player type to a second player type, wherein upgrading unlocks additional utilities; receive an upgrade instruction from the first player; perform an in-game action falling within the additional utilities on behalf of the first player, wherein the in-game action is performed by virtue of the first player having been upgraded to the second player type; and/or other steps.
