There are several ways to get credits for free, although they can also be bought if you choose (see the Buy Credits page for details). Here’s a quick rundown of how you can get free credits with a minimum of fuss.
- Voting. You can see links to vote either at the top of each page or on the page Credits > Vote for Credits. Votes give varying amounts of credits and by getting us near the top of the vote lists we attract more new managers to the game. Please take the time to vote for PSB once you’ve clicked on the links.
- Referrals. By getting people to join via your referral link, whether it be something you’ve sent by email, a forum post/signature or even via a banner on your website, you bring new blood to the game and, once they reach level two, earn yourself 10,000 credits into the bargain. You can see your individual referral link at Credits > Referrals.
- Competitions. Some competitions have credit prizes. Read their Information tab under Championship Credits Prize Allocation to check. You also normally get a 2000 credits bonus for completing 90% of the rounds, regardless of where you finish.
- Selling Items. If you have an item that can be sold make sure that you sell it before you buy a replacement. When you get a new engine for example the old one will disappear and you won’t get any credits for it. So sell before you buy!
You can also earn credits by becoming a Factory or an Academy, but these are for the more advanced users. When you’ve reached a certain level of expertise in the game make sure you explore these options.
