A redeem code is a short code that gives you free tokens. SLASHPLAY hands them out in giveaways, promotions and through partners. This page shows where to enter one, where the tokens go, and what each error message means. It takes ten seconds.

Before you start

  • A SLASHPLAY account, signed in. See Create your account.
  • The code. Redeem codes look like ABCD-1234-EFGH: three groups of four characters.

Steps

  1. Open your dashboard and click Wallet in the top bar.
  2. Find Redeem a code.
  3. Type or paste your code into the box that says XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Letters are turned into capitals for you, so case doesn’t matter.
  4. Click Claim, or press Enter.
A code typed into the Redeem a code box, next to Claim
Codes look like XXXX-XXXX-XXXX.

When it works, a green line appears, for example +500 Tokens ($5.00) added! New balance: 506 Tokens ($5.06). The new balance is your wallet’s.

The green confirmation line after claiming a code
The tokens land in your wallet straight away.

The code also appears under Your claims below the box, with the number of tokens and the date, so you can always check what you’ve redeemed.

Where the tokens go

Redeemed tokens land in your personal wallet, the same place bought tokens go. They don’t go straight to a team.

To use them on a server, move them into a team:

  1. Open the Team tab and enter the team.
  2. Under Fund this team, type an amount or click Max.
  3. Click Deposit →.
The Fund this team box on the Team tab, with 100 tokens typed in next to Deposit
Move tokens from your wallet into the team with Deposit.

See Fund a team.

How it works

  • Once per person. Each account can claim a given code only once. A code can have many claims in total, one per person, up to a limit set when it was made.
  • Some codes are personal. A code can be reserved for one account, for example a prize for a giveaway winner. Nobody else can claim it.
  • Some codes expire or get switched off after a campaign ends.
  • Tokens never expire. Once a code is claimed, the tokens are yours to keep, like bought ones.
  • Not a promotion code. Promotion codes give a discount when you pay with Stripe, and you enter them on the Stripe checkout page. Redeem codes give free tokens and go here. See Buy tokens.

Troubleshooting

I claimed a code but my server still says the team has no tokens. The tokens are in your wallet. Deposit them into the team the server belongs to.

I mixed up 0 and O, or 1 and I. Type the code again carefully, or copy and paste it from where you got it.

I got the code in Discord and nothing happens when I paste it into the bot. Codes are only redeemed on the Wallet tab of the dashboard, not through the bot.
