Have you participated in Facilitator Program by filling form...

If you haven't participate (or filled participation form) then 42 is correct

But if you have participated then your points should be 45, not 45.5 (because you don't get points for 1 Skill badge but for 2 Skill badge), then contact chat suppor or you Facilitator

[yashgoyal365]

2 SBs (Monsoon Event) = 2 Points
CDL Event = 5 Points
21 Game/Trivia Badges = 21 Points
2 Special Edition Badge = 4 Points
13 SBs = 6 Points
Arcade Classroom = 4 Points
Total = 42 Points

These are your final points if you have any bonus points from GCAF then add to this total and reach out to Chat Support/support@qwiklabs.com.

Hi @Yugali  I have not received the mail I have checked my spam also but found nothing I have 76 points here is my public

This issue may have occurred because you didn’t sign up with your email on the official Arcade website, which is essential for successful registration in the Arcade program.

Additionally, ensure you have configured your Cloud Skills Boost profile settings correctly to receive emails. Check if the following options are enabled in your account settings:

• Send me occasional product updates, announcements, and offers
• Opt me in for extended time accommodations when applicable

If these options are not enabled, please activate them to avoid missing important emails, such as those related to the Prize Counter.

If you didn’t subscribe your email on the official Arcade website, I recommend reaching out to their chat support for assistance. They should be able to help resolve the issue. Otherwise you won't be eligible for any swags.

[yashgoyal365]

If you have subscribed to Arcade and also received previous month's Insider mails then reach out to Chat support/support@qwiklabs.com.

[edchuy]

Got the e-mail and as I expect, I surpassed the Champions milestone by a point. I look forward to the arcade counter opening and receiving the actual swag.

Dear Team,

I have reviewed my profile on Google Cloud Skills Boost multiple times Previously, I had 76 points, but in the latest Insider Mail, it shows that I have only collected 46 points.

This discrepancy is quite disheartening, as I have worked extremely hard to achieve Premium+ status. Losing a point unfairly undermines my effort. I kindly request you to look into this issue and correct the error if possible.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

[luiz_yamada]

If you checked using unofficial calculators, it may be that the value they displayed was considering that you were registered in the facilitator program. From the difference you are showing, it seems to me that you were not registered in this program.

The best way to know exactly how many points you have is by contacting support (the ? icon on the top bar of the website https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/)

Unofficial calculators help to get an idea of ​​your points, but they can fail (and, so far, there is no official calculator)

[yashgoyal365]

5 SBs (Monsoon Event) = 5 Points
CDL Event = 5 Points
15 Game/Trivia Badges = 15 Points
1 Special Edition Badge = 2 Points
39 SBs = 19 Points
Total = 46 Points

As the difference is of 30 points which might be given for GCAF program. Have you registered in this program?? If yes then reach out to Chat support/support@qwiklabs.com. Else this is your final points count.

[YoursTruly]

I think I got 30 points but it is reflecting 29 in my mail.... Can you please check

https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/public_profiles/c71dfe29-686d-4e2a-b2ba-97d2445a28ab

[harshrajput2604]

You don't have 30 points

You had 29.5 points, you only need to do 1 more skill badge to reach 30 points

[yashgoyal365]

There is no system of roundoff of points you have 29 points only. If you check it earlier then you only have to do is one more skill badge.

Hi Yugali,

I’ve earned 83 points in Google Arcade and am eligible for the Champion milestone. I’ve been receiving regular emails about my total points, but I haven’t received any email regarding the price counter. I’m also unsure if I’m subscribed to the required updates.

I’m attaching my public profile for reference. Please help me with this.

[yashgoyal365]

If you are receiving the Insider mails regularly that means you are already subscribed to Arcade. Don't worry you will also get the prize counter mail soon.

[Vansh_21]

Please calculate it correctly, I had got total 30 points, I had stopped my
account after 30 points

My Public Profile : "https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/public_profiles/4efd975f-e93e-4778-a844-00250c683cb6"

I am raising wrong arcade points issue again and again after every insider mail in the last 3 months (ticket ids: #4440436, #4410178, #4373406) and every time Support executive say, “Due to a technical error, the most recent insider email unfortunately misrepresented the arcade points showing lesser points than the actual total.”
As of now Final insider mail mentioned 47 credits but Support executive replied:
"I have checked the details with dedicated team and please check the point details below -
Here's the points breakdown:
Arcade Lessons Points: 4
CDL Points: 5
Game Points: 15
Special Game Points: 4
Skill Badge Points: 0
Skill Badge Points (Monsoon Challenge): 30
Arcade Facilitator Points: 19

Total Points: 77"

your attention required @Yugali 

[deepanshu001]

After verifying your account, I can confirm that you are correct—there appears to be an error in the calculation by the Arcade Insider team. Here is the current status of your profile.

[Antrax]

Thank you for calculating & verifying my points.
Since 3 months I am raising this issue In every Insider mail I am getting 30 points less maybe because of 30 Skill Badges done during Monsoon challenge that only match exact 30 point less issue. But Support team gives same excuse every time & give assurance of in next mail it will be corrected.

Prize Counter emails have not been sent out yet. As mentioned in this post, they will be rolled out soon. 

[lakshyagupta955]

My total points including bonus points are 75.
But the mail that I received today by Arcade Insider was showing 56 points, mentioning bonus points were included.

Bonus points are only for the participants of GCAF program if you have registered in this then reach out to Chat support/support@qwiklabs.com.

[BhavyaChauhan05]

My total points were 75.
But the Arcade Insider Mail that I received was of only 56 points, and also mentioning that bonus points were also included.
So, kindly look into it.
I'm attaching my public profile link and the screenshot of the point calculator.

[deepanshu001]

I’d like to provide some clarification regarding the points calculation. If your email reflects a total of 56 points, it indicates that you did not register for the Arcade program under a facilitator. Consequently, instead of achieving 75 points, your total remains at 56 points.

Registering under a facilitator grants bonus points upon reaching certain milestones. Achieving 56 points suggests that you were not registered under a facilitator, which is why you did not receive the additional points for the Premium Milestone.

To assist further, I’ve attached a detailed screenshot containing additional information that might be helpful.

Bonus points are only for the participants of GCAF program if you have registered in this and you also have received the Bonus points count in first week of Oct then reach out to Chat support/support@qwiklabs.com.

[WadekarPrashant]

I checked my points before the ending of event, they were 75. Now in Insiders Mail i got just 56.

They haven't added a single point from my Arcade Facilitator Bonus points which is exactly 19-20. This will resolve the issue.

Profile : https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/public_profiles/e12f0708-2460-4b79-875c-50911b302469

Please check the bonus points system, the issue is in that. I completed till exactly 75 to achieve last milestone, but now i am getting the third last. Please ensure students efforts don't get wasted.

I would like to understand why I did not receive any bonus points, while my friend did. We both started with the same amount of points, but my friend had a few extra points when the event ended. He finished with 42 points, while I ended up with only 30 points. Despite this, he received around 19 bonus points, whereas I did not receive any. Can you explain why this happened? Now, he has a total of 61 points.

[anshulrawal]

He might be registered for facilator program
