Answers on signing up, sessions, Scoop Coins, games, rewards and more.
Signing up
How do I sign up?
Choose Press pass at the top of the page, type your name (a byline is optional), confirm that Scoop Coins are virtual and select Print my press pass. 15,000 Scoop Coins are credited straight away.
What information do you need?
Only a name. We never ask for a password, email address, card, bank details or any payment information.
Is it really free?
Yes. Signing up and playing are completely free, and there's nothing for sale on the site.
Signing in & sessions
How do I sign back in?
Select Sign in and pick your profile from the readers saved on this browser, or type the name you signed up with.
Why can't I see my profile on another device?
Profiles are stored in each browser rather than on a server, so every browser and device keeps its own. Progress doesn't sync between them.
What happens when I sign out?
Your session ends on this browser, but your profile stays saved for next time. To remove it permanently, clear this site's data in your browser settings.
I cleared my browser data and lost my coins. Can you help?
Unfortunately not. Profiles never reach our servers, so we have nothing to restore. You can create a new free profile whenever you like.
Scoop Coins
What are Scoop Coins?
Scoop Coins (SC) are the virtual currency used in our games. They're free and exist purely for entertainment.
Are Scoop Coins worth anything?
No. They have no monetary value and can't be exchanged for cash, vouchers, goods or any real-world prize.
Can I buy, deposit or withdraw coins?
No. Gazetly has no purchases, deposits or withdrawals of any kind.
I've run out of coins. What now?
Collect your morning edition on the Rewards page, open the daily scoop box, collect any milestones you've reached, or unlock badges for bonus coins.
Playing games
Which games can I play?
Five Gazetly originals: Champion Slots, Fruits, Rames Treasure, Soccer and Wheel of Fortune. They're the only games on the site.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Every game plays in your web browser on phones, tablets and computers.
A game won't load — any tips?
Try the reload button above the game, check your connection, or open it in a new tab with the button provided. Updating your browser or relaxing strict content blockers for our site can also help.
How does a game use my coins?
Games use the Scoop Coin balance shown in your masthead, and it updates as you play. You'll need to be signed in.
Rewards
How does the morning edition work?
Collect it once per calendar day. Day one is worth 500 SC and each consecutive day adds 350 SC, up to 2,600 SC on day seven. Miss a day and the streak resets.
How do ranks work?
You earn XP by launching games (+22), playing (+5 a minute), collecting the morning edition (+30) and opening the scoop box (+18). Each promotion pays 350 SC × your new level.
What are badges?
Eight achievements, such as playing all five games or reaching level 5. Each badge pays 300 SC when unlocked.
Can rewards be exchanged for anything?
No. All rewards are virtual with no real-world value.
Jackpot
What's the weekly meter?
A just-for-fun meter that climbs from 1,500,000 SC to 6,000,000 SC over the week and resets every Monday at 00:00 UTC. It's virtual with no monetary value.
How does the scoop box work?
Signed-in readers can open one free box per day. It always contains Scoop Coins, with a 0.6% chance of the 15,000 SC jackpot. The full odds are on the Jackpot page.
What are milestones?
Rewards for launching games 1, 5, 15, 30 and 50 times. Collect them on the Jackpot page once you get there.
Game Providers
What's the Game Providers page?
A reference directory of established developers and publishers with games on Google Play.
Can I play their games here?
No. Their games aren't available on Gazetly — only our own five are.
Are you partnered with them?
No. We're not affiliated with, endorsed by or partnered with any company listed.
Responsible play
How do I set a break reminder?
Go to the Responsible Play page and choose an interval. A reminder pops up after that much play in a session.
Is this gambling?
No. There are no deposits, no withdrawals and no cash prizes, and Scoop Coins have no monetary value. The games are entertainment only.
