Getting free dice is half the game — the other half is spending them at the right moment. The same 500 dice can net you a few hundred points or several thousand, depending on when and how you roll. These are the habits that separate players who're always short on dice from ones who seem to have an endless supply. Grab your dice from the daily links first, then make each roll count.
1. Bank your dice for events
The single biggest mistake is rolling your whole stock the moment you have it, with no event running. Dice are worth far more during an active tournament or banner event, because every roll also earns event points toward reward tiers stacked with more dice, cash and stickers. When you're not in an event, resist the urge — let your dice build up (they don't expire) and unload them when a Tycoon Racers, Golden Blitz or point-earning tournament goes live.
2. Use the dice multiplier with intent
The multiplier (x2 up to x1000) scales both your reward and your dice spend. Rule of thumb:
- Roll high (x10 and up) when a Cash Grab or High Roller solo event is active, or when you're building landmarks — the payouts scale with the multiplier, so big rolls pay big.
- Roll low (x1–x4) when you're just farming tournament points, hunting a specific tile, or running low and want to stay in the game longer.
Blindly rolling x1000 with no matching event is how people vaporize a thousand dice in a minute for very little.
3. Play every tournament
Tournaments run for 1–3 days and reward points earned from landing on corners and taking board actions. Because you'd be rolling anyway, every tournament is essentially free rewards for playing normally — as long as you play during it. Bank dice beforehand, then roll steadily through the event. Consistent rolling usually beats one giant burst that empties your dice before you climb the reward ladder. Check what's live on our events page.
4. Prioritise Tycoon Racers and Partner Events
Tycoon Racers and Partner Events are among the most dice-rich events in the game. Tycoon Racers has you collecting flags to progress a race for tiered rewards; Partner Events pair you with friends to fill shared reward slots. Both reward heavy rolling and coordination. If one is coming, hold your dice for it — a well-played Tycoon Racers can pay back everything you spent and then some.
5. Keep your shields up
Shields block other players from wrecking your landmarks in Shutdown attacks. Losing a landmark to an attack costs you cash you'd otherwise spend building the board — which indirectly costs dice, since you re-earn that cash by rolling. Keep up to three shields stocked (you get them from the board and rewards), and you'll waste far fewer rolls repairing damage.
6. Trade smart for stickers
Completing sticker sets and albums is a major dice source, but the last few "gold" stickers are the wall everyone hits. Only trade gold stickers during a Golden Blitz event, when trading and sending them is allowed, and lean on an active trading group to find the exact ones you're missing. Finishing a set you were one sticker away from can hand you a big dice reward for essentially free. Our free dice guide covers albums in more depth.
The one-line version
Never roll a big pile at 1x with no event running. Bank your dice, wait for a tournament or Tycoon Racers, match your multiplier to the active solo event, and keep your shields up. Do that and your free dice — from the daily links, Tycoon Club and login rewards — will carry you far further than dropping real money would.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the single best Monopoly GO tip?
Never spend a big pile of dice at 1x. Save your dice for a tournament or Tycoon Racers event, raise the dice multiplier, and roll then — the same dice earn far more points, cash and rewards.
When should I use the dice multiplier?
Use a high multiplier when a Cash Grab, High Roller or landmark-building phase is active and you have plenty of dice to burn. Roll at low multipliers when you're just farming event points or low on dice.
How do I win Monopoly GO tournaments?
Bank dice before the tournament starts, then roll steadily during it with a multiplier that fits your stock. Tournament points come from landing on corners and taking actions, so consistent rolling beats one big burst that empties your dice early.
Do dice expire if I don't use them?
No — your dice balance doesn't expire, so it's safe to bank dice for the next big event. It's the free dice links that expire fast, not the dice themselves once they're in your account.
Is it worth keeping shields up?
Yes. A lost landmark costs cash you have to re-earn by rolling, so shields indirectly save dice. Keep up to three stocked to blunt Shutdown attacks.
