If you’ve ever stared at the Brawl Stars shop wishing you had enough coins to unlock that new brawler you’ve been eyeing or upgrade your main’s star power, you’re not alone. Coins are the most valuable core currency in the game, and running low can grind your progression to a halt fast. This guide breaks down how to get more coins in Brawl Stars using 100% legitimate, Supercell-approved methods, no sketchy hacks or paid exploits required. I’ve tested every single one of these methods over 3 years of playing, so you don’t have to waste time on tricks that don’t work.
How to Get More Coins in Brawl Stars From Free Event Rewards
Most players only scratch the surface of the coin rewards available from regular in-game events, and leaving those on the table is one of the easiest ways to miss out on hundreds of coins a week. Supercell rotates events every 24 to 48 hours, and almost every event comes with coin rewards for completing specific challenges or hitting rank milestones. Let's break down the highest-yield events you should prioritize first:
- Championship Challenge rewards: Even if you don't make it to the full 15 wins, every win in the championship challenge gives you at least 25 coins, plus bonus rewards like boxes and tokens if you hit 6 or 9 wins. You don't need a full team of pro players to get 6 wins, either—playing with two consistent friends is enough to hit that threshold 9 out of 10 times.
- Daily and seasonal community events: Special events like Lunar New Year, Brawl-o-ween, or the summer championship often have daily login bonuses, mini-game challenges, and community milestone rewards that can pay out 50 to 200 coins per completed task. These are usually only available for a limited time, so check the events tab at least once a day so you don't miss them.
- Rank up rewards for individual brawlers: Every time you rank a brawler up from rank 1 to rank 30, you get coin bonuses that increase as the rank goes higher. Hitting rank 15 on a new brawler gives you 100 coins alone, and ranking up multiple underused brawlers can net you thousands of coins in a single week if you put in a little extra play time.
One trick I use to prioritize these events is to check the reward pool first before I start playing each session. If an event only gives token doublers or spray rewards, I'll skip it for the day and focus on events that have guaranteed coin payouts first. That cuts down on wasted play time and makes sure every match I play contributes to my coin stack.
Maximize Brawl Pass Rewards for Extra Coin Drops
You don't have to buy the premium Brawl Pass to get tons of coins from the reward track—even the free tier gives out thousands of coins per season if you hit the maximum level before the season ends. The key is to make sure you're earning tokens as fast as possible to level up the pass faster than the average player. Token doublers are the most underrated tool for speeding up this process, and you can get them for free from event rewards or occasional shop giveaways, so don't waste them on casual play sessions. I only activate my token doublers when I have 2 to 3 hours of uninterrupted play time, so I get the maximum possible value out of every 2x token boost.
If you do decide to buy the premium Brawl Pass, you'll get 2x more coin rewards per level, plus bonus coin bundles at levels 20, 40, and 60 that can give you up to 1,000 coins each. That's worth the cost if you play at least 3 times a week, but it's entirely optional—you can still get plenty of coins without spending any real money. Another small hack: the Brawl Pass often has hidden coin rewards in the bonus tier section after you hit level 70. Every extra level you earn after 70 gives you a random reward that's almost always coins, so don't stop earning tokens once you hit the end of the main pass track.
Smart Gameplay Choices That Earn You Bonus Coins
A lot of players don't realize that how you play matches can directly impact how many coins you earn over time, even beyond the base event rewards. The first thing to do is join an active club with at least 20 regular players. Club leagues give out coin rewards every week based on your club's rank, and even a bronze-tier club can give you 100 to 200 coins a week for playing just 3 club league matches. Playing with club members also gives you a 10% token boost per match, which adds up to extra Brawl Pass levels and extra coins over the course of a season. If your current club is inactive, don't be afraid to leave and join a new one—there are thousands of active clubs looking for casual players, and the coin benefits are well worth the 2 minutes it takes to switch.
You can also earn bonus coins from the daily and weekly quests that pop up in your quest tab. Prioritize quests that give coin rewards first, and skip quests that only give sprays or profile icons unless you can complete them without going out of your way. For example, if you have a quest that requires you to win 3 matches with a brawler you never use, it's better to reroll it for a coin quest instead of wasting time playing a brawler you're not good with. I usually reroll at least 2 quests a week, and I end up with at least 300 extra coins a month from that small change alone.
Mistakes to Avoid That Waste Your Hard-Earned Coins
Earning more coins is only half the battle—you also need to make sure you're not wasting them on unnecessary purchases that don't help your progression. The biggest mistake new players make is spending coins on every new brawler they unlock immediately, instead of saving coins to upgrade their 2 to 3 main brawlers first. Upgrading a brawler to level 9 to unlock its star power costs thousands of coins, and spreading your coins across 10 different brawlers means you'll never have a strong enough brawler to compete in higher rank matches, which give better rewards.
Never spend coins on skins or cosmetic items from the shop unless you have extra coins left over after upgrading all your main brawlers. Skins don't give any gameplay benefits, and they're almost always available for purchase with gems or during limited time sales for a lower cost later. Another common mistake is buying coin bundles from the shop with gems. Gems are better spent on the Brawl Pass or special event offers that give more value per gem, so it's never a good trade to spend gems on straight coin bundles unless you're in a huge rush to upgrade a brawler for a specific event. I learned this the hard way early on, when I spent 100 gems on a 1,000 coin bundle, only to realize I could have gotten 3 times that many coins from the premium Brawl Pass for the same amount of gems.
At the end of the day, you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars or play 8 hours a day to build up a solid stack of coins. All of these methods are accessible for casual players who only have a few hours a week to play, and they're all approved by Supercell so you don't have to worry about getting your account banned for using exploits. If you stick to the tips laid out here, you'll be able to get more coins in Brawl Stars faster than you ever have before, and you'll have more than enough to unlock new brawlers, upgrade your mains, and experiment with different play styles without running out of currency halfway through the season.
