Mint Credits — how promotional mints are priced

Everything you give away on FlipKey.gg — beta passes, giveaway rewards, watch-drop tickets, airdrops — is delivered as a mint to a real, identity-linked player. Those promotional mints run on mint credits.

The deal

• Your first 1,000 promotional mints are free — lifetime, shared across every campaign type. For most studios that covers a full beta wave and your first giveaways.
• Beyond that, credits are a flat $0.02 per mint, prepaid in packs (1,000 / $20 · 5,000 / $100 · 25,000 / $500) on the Credits page. Card checkout; credits never expire.

What uses credits — and what never does

• Uses credits: beta invite waves, creator giveaway allowances, watch-drop campaigns, airdrops and batch mints — anything that mints promotionally.
• Never uses credits: sales. A sold license or item mints free — the platform fee already covers it — and the freebie bonus attached to a sale rides free too.

How the budget works

Credits are checked when you create a campaign, not when players claim: a wave of 500 invites or a watch-drop with 500 total quota needs 500 available credits up front. That's deliberate — a player's claim can never fail because a budget ran out mid-campaign, and you always know a campaign's maximum cost before you launch it.

Your available balance is: free mints remaining + purchased credits − credits already committed to running campaigns. Revoking an allowance releases its unspent commitment. Players who never claim cost you nothing — a credit is only consumed when a mint actually lands.

Who can spend

Creating campaigns needs the minting role (or admin). Buying credit packs is owner/admin only. See Team & Roles.
