If you’ve played Brawl Stars for more than a week, you know just how valuable gems are. They’re the only currency that lets you unlock premium Brawl Pass tiers, exclusive skins, new brawlers, and extra tokens to level up faster. Most players assume you have to spend real cash to get a decent stockpile, but that’s not true at all. I’ve been playing the game for 3 years, and I’ve only spent $10 total on the game, but I’ve unlocked every premium skin I want just by figuring out how to get free gems in Brawl Stars through official, safe methods. This guide will skip all the fake scams and only cover tactics that won’t get your account permanently banned.
How to Get Free Gems in Brawl Stars Through Official In-Game Events
Supercell regularly adds limited-time in-game events that hand out free gems as rewards, and these are the most reliable way to build your gem stock without any extra effort outside of playing the game like you normally would. The best part is you don’t have to be a pro player to earn these rewards, either. Brawl Pass Free Tier is the first place you should check every season. Even if you never pay for the premium Brawl Pass, the free track gives out between 30 and 60 gems per season for hitting specific tier milestones. All you have to do is play matches to earn tokens, and you’ll unlock those rewards automatically as you level up.
Next, Championship Challenge Rewards are a great option if you don’t mind playing a few competitive matches. You don’t have to win the entire challenge to get gems, either. Even if you only win 3 out of 7 matches, you’ll usually get 10 to 20 gems as a milestone reward. If you do make it further, you can earn up to 100 gems per challenge, plus exclusive pins and skins. Seasonal Special Events like the anniversary event, Lunar New Year, or Halloween events also have special challenge tracks that drop gems. Last year’s anniversary event gave out 100 free gems to every player who logged in for 5 days straight, no matches required.
Daily and Weekly Challenges That Reward Free Gems
You don’t have to wait for big seasonal events to earn free gems, either. The daily and weekly quest tab has gem rewards up for grabs almost every week, if you know what to look for. Every day, you get two new daily quests, and every week you get three larger weekly quests. Most of these reward coins or power points, but roughly 1 out of every 5 quests will give you 10 to 30 gems as a reward. Only reroll quests that reward less than 20 coins, so you don’t accidentally reroll a gem quest that you didn’t notice. If you get a gem quest, prioritize completing it first, since they expire after 24 hours for daily quests and 7 days for weekly ones.
Club League is another underrated way to get free gems on a weekly basis. If you join an active club that participates in Club League matches every week, you’ll get a reward chest at the end of the week based on your club’s rank. Clubs in the top 3 tiers give out 20 to 50 gems per week to every member who played at least 3 matches that cycle. You don’t have to be the best player on the team, either, just show up and play your matches to qualify for the reward.
If you’re a casual player who only logs in a few times a week, these small daily and weekly tasks add up fast. I usually earn between 80 and 120 gems a month just from these quests, without grinding for more than 3 or 4 hours a week. If you want to maximize your gem earnings from these challenges, follow these simple steps:
- Log in daily to check for limited-time gem quests in your quest tab, even if you don’t have time to play a full match
- Complete at least 3 club league matches per week to qualify for your club’s weekly reward chest
- Participate in all weekend special events, as they have 2x higher gem drop rates than standard weekday events
Community and Creator Giveaways for Free Brawl Stars Gems
If you don’t mind spending 2 minutes a day checking social media, you can earn hundreds of free gems every year from official giveaways. Supercell gives verified Brawl Stars content creators free gem codes to hand out to their fans as part of the Creator Program, so these giveaways are 100% legal and safe. I’ve won 500 gems total from creator giveaways over the past two years, so I can confirm they work.
Only join giveaways from verified creators with a blue checkmark on their social media profiles, to avoid falling for fake giveaways run by scammers. Most creators run giveaways for things like hitting a follower milestone, or to celebrate a new game update, and all you have to do to enter is like their post, follow their account, and leave a comment with your Brawl Stars player ID. They never ask for your account password, and they send the gem code directly to your DMs if you win.
The official Brawl Stars social media accounts on Instagram, TikTok, and X (formerly Twitter) also run regular giveaways for big events. These giveaways usually have thousands of winners, so your odds of winning are higher than you might think. Last anniversary, the official account gave out 100 free gems to 10,000 random players who commented their favorite brawler on their post. It only took me 10 seconds to enter, and I ended up winning a code the next day.
Common Free Gem Scams to Avoid At All Costs
For every legal way to get free gems, there are 10 fake scams designed to steal your account or your personal information. The most common scam you’ll see is the “free gem generator” website that pops up when you search for free gems online. These sites claim you can get 10,000 or more free gems just by entering your player ID and completing a few surveys. There is no working gem generator that can add gems to your account, because all Brawl Stars account data is stored on Supercell’s private servers. No third party can access those servers to add gems to your account, no matter what they claim.
Another common scam is people DMing you on social media or in the game claiming to be a Supercell employee, saying you won a free gem prize and asking for your account password to send the reward. Supercell employees will never ask for your account password, ever. If you give someone your password, they will steal your account, change the email linked to it, and either sell it or get it banned for cheating. You will never get your account back if this happens, so it’s not worth the risk.
You should also avoid any site that asks you to download an app or modded version of Brawl Stars to get free gems. These mods usually have malware that steals your personal information from your phone, and Supercell will ban your account permanently if they detect you’re running a modded version of the game. It’s always better to earn gems slowly through official methods than to risk losing your account you’ve spent years building for a few hundred fake gems.
Figuring out how to get free gems in Brawl Stars doesn’t have to be complicated, and you don’t have to risk your account to build a decent stockpile. All the methods we covered are 100% legal, approved by Supercell, and require little to no extra effort if you already play the game regularly. Even casual players can earn enough gems to buy the premium Brawl Pass or their favorite exclusive skin every few months, without spending a single dollar of real money. Just stick to official events, complete your daily and weekly quests, join a good active club, and avoid any too-good-to-be-true offers you see online, and you’ll have more gems than you know what to do with in no time.
