Had a bad day in 8 Ball Pool that made you lose all your coins? Don’t get discouraged! Earn back your coins so that you can go back to competing in high-stakes stages in no time. There are so many ways to earn coins in 8 Ball Pool, so don’t worry about going back to zero and competing in low-stakes stages again. Time to find out which methods earn you the most coins in the game, even if you don’t have the capital to bet on anything. 

Coins in 8 Ball Pool are used for a variety of things. Aside from betting them in the main tournament format, you can also use coins to buy new avatars to represent your in-game account. Other than that, coins are an essential part of playing 8 Ball Pool, regardless of whether you want to play casually or competitively. If you’re not willing to spend real money on coins, there’s still a variety of ways that you can earn coins that are both fun and can get you back to where you want to be as soon as possible.

Mission Rewards

While you might be tempted to start playing a match once you log into 8 Ball Pool, you should take a pause first and take a look at your missions tab so that you’ll know what missions you have in store. Completing missions earns you a decent amount of coin; you could at least generate enough to let you play a couple of matches in the Downtown London Pub, where you can multiply that with ease. You can swiftly complete missions since they don’t take a lot of effort to complete, which is good if you’re rushing back to competing.

The downside of missions is that sometimes you’re required to play pool stages, which you probably can’t do if you have zero coins in the first place. Luckily there are missions like Play Against A Friend, which doesn’t cost a thing, and you don’t even have to play seriously. Needless to say, you’ll need to add some active friends to do this. If you’re using BlueStacks, you can also use the Multi-Instance Function to play against yourself to complete this mission effortlessly.

Opening Boxes

Opening boxes is also a good way to earn a ton of coins along with other rewards like Cue Stick pieces. The biggest turn-off for this method is that it takes quite a while to open a box. Regular boxes can range from 1-3 hours before they’re opened, while elite boxes can take up even more time than that. Make sure to always log in every couple of hours to open all your boxes, even if you don’t have any intention of playing the game. Open the elite boxes before you sleep so that you can wake up with loads of rewards.

Spin And Win

There are also fun minigames like Spin and Win that give you different rewards just by participating. This method allows you to win up to 100,000 coins or other prizes, which are increased depending on your VIP level. Unfortunately, this method is limited by the fact that you need Spin Chances, which you can get by logging in daily. There’s also no guarantee that you’ll get a decent enough prize since the spin chances always try to work against you in every way.

Lucky Shot

The lucky shot is another minigame that you can accomplish daily. The point of this minigame is to shoot the object ball onto the rings using your cue ball. This is an extremely difficult minigame that requires a high sense of angle manipulation and power control. The cue ball and object ball are often placed in awkward angles to make it increasingly difficult to get the object ball inside any of the rings. Hitting the ball inside the ring will grant you at least 50,000 coins up to 100 cash.

The Pool Pass

The Pool Pass is basically 8 Ball Pool’s version of a battle pass. The more you play the game, the more points you gain on your pass. As you gain points in the Pool Pass, your pass will level up and unlock a linear set of rewards. One of those rewards includes a hefty amount of coins. Players that have unlocked the premium version of the Pool Pass – which you can get by purchasing it using real money – will gain a significantly higher set of rewards to help them progress with a bit less hassle in the game.

VIP Bonus

The VIP Bonus doesn’t directly give you coins but will instead increase the number of coins you get from other sources like minigames. While the name might sound like it requires you to become a premium player, you can increase your VIP rank simply by playing the game. Players that spend money will obviously also be able to increase their VIP rank with little effort, but free-to-play users can still level up their rank at a decent pace.

Place a Safety Net

To prevent yourself from getting zeroed out by losing a bunch of tournament stakes, try to place a safety net for yourself by capping the number of coins you’re willing to spend. For example, place your net at 1000 coins so that when your total coins fall below that number, you’ll stop spending on high-stakes competitions and instead play on low-stake ones. This isn’t an in-game mechanic, but it will help you learn the art of being disciplined about gambling your resources.

8 Ball Pool may be a tough game to play, but it’s a lot of fun and gives you a nice sense of achievement. Climbing up the ranks and beating high-skilled opponents feels good and all, but losing a lot can get pretty frustrating too. No matter how frustrated you get about the game, remember to be smart about your decisions so that you don’t end up losing everything on the table. In times like these, you should remember that the best decisions are made with a calm mind.
