  Maybe something like "200位に達するまであと30点です。"

  *edit* typo mistake, meant to say "３０もっとに...”

  The above is your rank in relation to other participants. If it's some sort of system that doesn't have a distribution like that, you could go with "ランク200になるまであと30です。" or such

  もっとお金があればいいのにな。I wish I had more money...
  あと10万貯まれば十分です。I'll have enough if I save up another 100000.
  あと5分で授業が終わります。Class will finish in five more minutes.
  もっと先生の話が聞きたかったです。I wanted to listen to more of the professor's stories.
  私は父よりもたくさん稼ぐよ。I'm earning more money than my father.
  
  Might take a bit to get used to, but there are different kinds of "more" you need to use depending on the situation.

  The "more" in "more ... until" becomes "あと" like in the examples above. Until is "まで". This is omitted if you put "あと" at the beginning of your sentence.
  
  授業が終わるまであと5分です。
  あと5分で授業が終わります。

  Sorry, this works too for your sentence if you want to inverse the order "あと３０で２００にランクアップです。"
