What are Winnly Coins?
Winnly runs on three coins with strictly separated jobs: Blue is earned free and enters free arenas, Pink is won there and enters reward arenas, and Gold (won only by top-3 finishes) is the single coin the rewards shop accepts. None of them ever converts to cash.
earn Blue → win Blue Arenas → get Pink → top 3 in Pink Arenas → win Gold → redeem gift cards
Blue Coins
The free entry coin
- How you get it
- Earned in the app, never sold: watching an ad earns 1 (2 while a 2x Booster is running), and the weekly EARN tasks pay up to 50. By design there is no way to buy them; that's in our Terms.
- What it does
- Blue Coins enter Blue Arenas: the always-free competitions where winning earns Pink Coins.
- What it can’t do
- They never convert to cash and can't be purchased, transferred or redeemed directly.
Pink Coins
The competition coin
- How you get it
- Won in Blue Arenas, or bought as an optional shortcut. New players also start with a bundle via promo code WINNLY.
- What it does
- Pink Coins enter Pink Arenas, where the stakes are Gold. No purchase changes your board, your odds or your score; everyone in an arena plays the same seed.
- What it can’t do
- They don't redeem in the rewards shop and never convert to cash.
Gold Coins
The reward coin
- How you get it
- Won exclusively by finishing top 3 in a Pink Arena. There is no purchase path to Gold: every Gold Coin on the platform was won by someone's score.
- What it does
- Gold Coins spend in the in-app rewards shop: gift cards from brands like Amazon, Netflix, PlayStation and Spotify, delivered as digital codes.
- What it can’t do
- They never convert to cash (the Terms rule it out) and they can't be bought or transferred.
Expiry, balances and the fine print
- Every coin expires twelve months after you receive it; more in do coins expire?
- Your balances sit at the top of the app screen, always visible: Blue, Pink and Gold side by side.
- Gift-card prices in Gold Coins live in the in-app rewards shop, the authoritative catalogue; see current price tiers.
- A balance that looks wrong after an arena usually just hasn’t settled; here is what to check first.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Winnly Coins?
Winnly runs on three coins with strictly separated jobs: Blue Coins are earned free and enter Blue Arenas; Pink Coins are won in Blue Arenas (or bought as an optional shortcut) and enter Pink Arenas; Gold Coins are won only by top-3 Pink Arena finishes and are the only coin the rewards shop accepts. None of them ever converts to cash.
What is a Blue Arena and a Pink Arena?
A Blue Arena is a free competition entered with Blue Coins, where winning earns Pink Coins. A Pink Arena is entered with Pink Coins, and its top 3 scores win Gold Coins. In both, every player gets the identical seeded board — the arena color only marks what it costs to enter and what winning pays.
Can you buy Gold Coins?
No, and that's the point of the whole system. Gold Coins exist only as winnings from top-3 Pink Arena finishes, so everything in the rewards shop was won on skill, not bought. Blue Coins can't be purchased either; Pink Coins are the only coin money can optionally buy.
Do coins expire?
Yes: every coin expires twelve months after you receive it, so a coin earned today is spendable for a year. Your current balances are always visible at the top of the app screen.
Can I cash coins out?
No. Coins never convert to money: not to a bank account, not to PayPal, not to anything like it. That's written into the Terms & Conditions. Rewards are gift cards and digital goods, redeemed with Gold Coins in the app.
My coins look wrong after an arena. What now?
Results and winnings can take a moment to settle after an arena closes. If a balance still looks wrong afterwards, the help center has the exact steps, and support at hello@playwinnly.com can trace any arena by your account email.
