Gold, gems and tickets: the Kickdom economy
What each of the three currencies actually does, how free tickets regenerate, the 500 gold daily cap, and every real shop price.
The game's currencies
Gold
Gems
Magic balls
Tickets- 1 ticket per match, regen every 45 minutes, cap of 5
- Match gold is capped at 500 per day
- Magic balls come mostly from recycling
Three currencies move through Kickdom, and a fourth resource sets your pace: the ticket. Here is what each one does, where it comes from, and what things genuinely cost.
Three currencies, three jobs
| Currency | Where it comes from | What it buys |
|---|---|---|
| gold | Matches, stadium, quests, rewards | Tickets, gold purchases, stadium and lab upgrades |
| magic balls | Mostly recycling | Fusion, and nothing else |
| gems | Real-money purchase | Selected shop items and speed-ups |
Keep them straight. Gold is your everyday currency: you earn it every match and you spend it constantly. Magic balls are not sold anywhere, you manufacture them by destroying what you no longer need. Gems are the premium currency.
One official conversion rate exists: 100 gold for 1 gem.
Tickets, the real pacing constraint
Every match costs 1 ticket.
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| Cost per match | 1 ticket |
| Regeneration | 1 free ticket every 45 minutes |
| Free ticket cap | 5 |
| Paid tickets | bought with gold, no cap |
| Spend order | free tickets first, then paid ones |
That cap of 5 is the detail that changes everything. Once you sit on 5, regeneration halts and you bank nothing more. Dropping in twice a day to burn through your stock returns far more than showing up once every three days. A rewarded ad can also hand you a free ticket, still inside the cap.
What a ticket costs
| Pack | Price (gold) | Gold per ticket |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ticket | 200 | 200 |
| 5 tickets | 900 | 180 |
| 10 tickets | 1,600 | 160 |
| 25 tickets | 3,500 | 140 |
| 100 tickets | 12,000 | 120 |
The right-hand column is the only one worth reading. Bought one at a time, a ticket runs 200 gold. Bought in hundreds, it drops to 120. Retail costs you close to double the bulk rate for exactly the same thing.
Where your gold comes from
Matches. Every match pays.
| Result | gold | xp |
|---|---|---|
| Win | 50 | 100 |
| Draw | 10 | 40 |
| Loss | 10 | 40 |
The loser always leaves with 10 gold. That is deliberate.
The daily cap. Gold earnings are capped at 500 per day. Ten wins fill the meter. Past that, keep playing for elo, xp and quests, but stop counting on match gold.
Your stadium. It produces gold on a timer, with hourly income and a daily ceiling that both rise at every level. It is the only income that lands while you are away. Level 1 costs 100 gold, level 40 costs 200,000 gold, and output climbs from a few gold an hour to several hundred.
Rewarded ads. 15 gold per ad, 10 ads a day maximum, with a 30-minute wait after each one. That is 150 gold a day if you see it through.
Everything else. Quests, the daily reward, chests, season pass tiers, league payouts. All the numbers sit in the progression guide.
Magic balls, the crafting currency
They are not for sale. You pull them out of recycling whatever you no longer field: 5 for a common player, 100 for a legendary, 250 for a mythic; 2 for a common item, 50 for a legendary item.
They do exactly one job, fusion: 10 magic balls turn 2 players of the same rarity into 1 rune a tier up, 50 magic balls turn 5 runes into 1 player. Both operations are broken down in the fusion guide.
Shop prices and contents are indicative and not contractual. Kickdom is a live game: offers, contents and prices change with every update. The terms that apply are the ones displayed in game at the moment of purchase.

Daily offers (gold)
A gold-priced rotation, led by a free "Free Gold" offer, followed by runes, items and players. Some unlock at a given league. One offer can be rerolled once a day by watching an ad.
Ad rewards (free)
Four free tiers, one ad each, unlocked at a given league: 100 gold, 50 magic balls, 1 rare item, 25 magic balls. Plus a standard chest for 8 ads, resetting every 24 hours. An ad also repairs a worn item: see the items guide.
The Challenge stake (mode currently disabled)
Challenge is built but disabled for now: it opens with a coming update. Here is how its stake works. Challenge mode puts in-game currency on the line, nothing else. Each side stakes 50, 100 or 250 gold. The winner takes 2x their stake, with no cut taken. A draw refunds both players. Disconnecting counts as a defeat, so the stake goes. Challenge never touches your ranked elo: it is a gold mode, not a ladder mode.
What money cannot buy
The point fits in one line: ranked is won on skill.
No shop entry sells elo, a league placement or a match result. Passes speed up your season pass, remove the ads and ease the ticket rhythm. They leave your players' stats alone and change nothing across the 3 minutes of a match.
And everything on sale, the game also hands out: players, items and runes come from the lab, from chests, from quests, from the season pass and from league payouts. The shop sells time. It does not sell wins.
Three habits that pay
- Buy tickets in bulk. 120 gold each instead of 200, for an identical ticket.
- Never let your stock idle at 5. Every hour spent capped is regeneration thrown away.
- Recycle without hesitation. A spent player is worth nothing on the pitch. It is worth magic balls in your stock.
Where to go next: progression for the season pass and chests, items for ad repairs, fusion for spending those magic balls.
Production values, adjustable by the team.
