Monopoly Go: Top 10 Pro Tips & Strategies

Monopoly Go is all about maximising your dice rolls and time to build your empire, and these top 10 tips will help you get the most out of every turn. From 5 March 2025, these strategies - rooted in the game's mechanics - will keep you rolling longer, earning bigger rewards and outsmarting your opponents. Whether you're a casual player or a daily grinder, here's how to dominate the board!

Tip 1: Grab free dice

Keep rolling

Shop Gift: Tap the Shop (bottom menu), scroll right to the free gift (refreshes every 8 hours) - claim 25-30 dice or a green sticker pack up to 3 times a day.Official Links: Check the Monopoly Go Wiki (monopolygo.fandom.com) or search for "Monopoly Go free dice" for secure, updated dice links (first Google result). Click daily for extra dice.Strategy: Stockpile dice to get you through tournaments or events when rewards peak.

Tip 2: Master the colour wheel boost

Double your spins

Duration: 30 minutes (check the Monopoly Go Wiki for times).How it works: Upgrade landmarks to 3 red houses - land on them during Colour Wheel Boost for two spins (versus one) to earn dice, cash or sticker packs.Strategy: Save cash every day, upgrade when the boost hits (often daily or every other day), and spin repeatedly to stack rewards.

Tip 3: Target inactive friends

Simple deactivations

How to spot them: Add friends who have downloaded but aren't playing - look for boards with a statue (right side, intro only).Why it works: Their single landmark regenerates every hour without repairs - hit it shield-free for maximum shutdown points.Bonus Tip: Target boards with 3 spinning characters (recently hit) - their shields are likely to be down.Strategy: Prioritise these 'free hits' for consistent tournament points without retaliation.

Tip 4: Use the rule of seven

Dice Probability

Why seven? When rolling two dice, 7 is the most common outcome (6 combos: 6+1, 5+2, etc.) versus 2 (1+1) or 12 (6+6).How to use: Position 7 on Railways, Prison or Key tiles - use high multipliers (x5, x10) for big payouts.Strategy: Take calculated risks with 7 spaces - not guaranteed, but statistically favoured.

Tip 5: Trade stickers smartly

Big dice payouts

Why trade: Complete sets of stickers (e.g. 9-15 cards) yield 100-2,000 dice; complete albums (200+ cards) yield 15,000+ dice.Where to trade: Join the official Monopoly Go Facebook group (7M+ members) or community groups like "Monopoly Elites" for active traders.Strategy: Trade duplicates daily to complete sets - focus on high-reward albums for massive dice boosts.

Tip 6: Take advantage of the sticker boom

Card Bonanza

Duration: Often 1 hour (check the Monopoly Go Wiki Events tab).How it works: Double the sticker pack content (e.g. green packs go from 3 to 6 cards).Combo Power: Pair with Colour Wheel Boost-Up landmarks, spin twice, and open doubled packs.Strategy: Go all-in during Sticker Boom - burn dice to open low-value packs for rare cards and set completions.

Tip 7: Shield up for defence

Deter attackers

Why Shields: Shields halve the shutdown reward for attackers, discouraging repeat hits.How to maintain: Land on shield tiles (max 3-5, depending on version) - Extras become dice.Strategy: Keep shields up - persistent attackers (5-10 hits) may surrender. Remove heavy hitters from your friends list (Leaderboard > Name > Remove) to cut your losses.

Tip 8: Use gold cards wisely

Rare trades

Value: Gold cards (e.g. 5-star) are worth double stars in vaults (5 stars = 10).Catch: Not tradable except during Golden Blitz events (every 3-4 weeks, 2 specific cards are tradable).Strategy: Trade during the Blitz to avoid gaps - hoard Gold cards early, as they're often the last set piece (e.g. 219/220).

Tip 9: Spend before you log out

Protect your cash

Why spend: Inactive boards with cash get smashed - friends drain you while you're away.How to: Before a long break (e.g. a work day), upgrade all landmarks to zero out your cash.Strategy: Leave nothing to be stolen - return with fresh shields and no losses.

Tip 10: Triple event synergy

Maximise rewards

Event types

Tournaments (right side, e.g. Cutlass Clash).Banner Events (top, e.g. Snowy Resort).Special Events (e.g. Peg-E, Treasure Hunt).How it works: Three events stack up - Railroads give tournament points, top events drop dice, and special tiles (e.g. pickaxes) fuel extra rewards.Strategy: Play hard when all three alignment tiles are overflowing with loot, and chain dice into more dice for endless play.
