COLA Tabs are a form of virtual currency available on the Twitch stream page for Gatorbox. Viewers earn these non-monetary tokens by watching the stream, betting on prediction outcomes, and occasionally clicking a little treasure box that appears every 15 or so minutes. These tabs can then be redeemed for various stream events such as reading a bad joke, reading a piece of useless trivia, or answering a question in Texas Trivia. Higher valued rewards include being able to pick the next Jackbox game during a community game night, spinning the Prize-O-Matic to reveal what's inside one of the boxes, and having your own custom Nightbot command. There is also an instant VIP chat badge available and a prize for one million tabs titled "The Most Expensive Chuck E. Cheese's Prize", a joke reward that is meant to be unobtainable. (Draco has stated that if anyone were to actually redeem that award somehow that he'd send them some show memorabilia and a sticker pack.)

COLA Tabs were introduced in 2019 as part of Twitch's "Channel Points" system, which Gatorbox was accepted into the beta of. Left with no real direction or ideas from Twitch, Draco game up with a number of meta games to play with the tabs with the hope that he'd be able to send physical awards to people who "won" the various games, however these have not yet materialized. Draco claims a chat bot would be needed to keep track of redemptions for things like "Literally Nothing" in order to know who'd claimed the most of them in a calendar year and thus who would be entitled to the award.
