How to make a five-minute reward system

So my goal is to make a gift system like in pet simulator x. That is, you can pick up a reward every certain time. The question is how to do it?

I would suggest making a timer on the server and looping through the players and reward them like so:

RewardScript (Parent: ServerScriptService)

while true do

for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetChildren()) do
-- Reward the player
player.leaderstats.Cash.Value += 10 -- Your reward, I chose cash in leaderstats but that is adjustable
end

-- Wait 300 seconds (5 minutes)
task.wait(300)
end

You can try something like this:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RewardInterval = 5 * 60  -- 5 minutes in seconds
local PlayerPlaytimes = {}  -- {player.UserId = seconds_played}

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	PlayerPlaytimes[player.UserId] = 0

	-- Timer loop
	while player do
		wait(1)
		PlayerPlaytimes[player.UserId] = PlayerPlaytimes[player.UserId] + 1

		if PlayerPlaytimes[player.UserId] >= RewardInterval then
			-- Player eligible for reward, reset the timer for the player
			PlayerPlaytimes[player.UserId] = 0
			player:SetAttribute("CanClaimReward", true)
		end
	end
end)

Players.PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
	PlayerPlaytimes[player.UserId] = nil
end)

You’ll need a function or an event that gives the reward to the player when they choose to claim it:

--// Maybe use remote event?
local function giveReward(player)
	if player:GetAttribute("CanClaimReward") then
		-- Give the reward to the player here

		-- Reset the attribute
		player:SetAttribute("CanClaimReward", false)
	end
end
