Important Reminders Before Prize Redemption

Here are some key points to ensure a smooth prize redemption process:

1๏ธโƒฃ Check Your Email ID:
Ensure your registered email ID is correct. This is where the Prize Counter access link will be sent.

2๏ธโƒฃ Subscription Requirement:
Make sure you were subscribed to the Skills Boost Arcade during the season. Only subscribed participants will receive prize emails and updates.

3๏ธโƒฃ Arcade Points Format:
Arcade points are always displayed as whole numbersโ€”youโ€™ll never see them in decimals.

4๏ธโƒฃ Tier Status:
Confirm that youโ€™ve reached the required Tier to redeem your prizes. For example, you need at least 20 points for Tier 1 (Arcade Novice). If you havenโ€™t reached the required points, you wonโ€™t be able to access the Prize Counter.

5๏ธโƒฃ Bonus Points Eligibility:
To qualify for bonus points, you needed to complete the RSVP form at the start of the Facilitator Program, providing your email ID and associated public profile. If the form wasnโ€™t submitted or the details didnโ€™t match, facilitator points were not awarded. You also have received the Bonus points mail on you registered mail.

6๏ธโƒฃ Resolving Discrepancies:
Thereโ€™s no official Arcade Points calculator approved by the team. If you notice discrepancies, itโ€™s likely due to unofficial calculators. Manually calculate your points using the Points System:

  • 1 Arcade Monthly/Certification Game Badge = 1 Arcade Point

  • 1 Arcade Weekly Trivia Badge = 1 Arcade Point

  • 1 Arcade Special Edition Badge = 2 Arcade Points

  • 2 Skill Badges = 1 Arcade Point

Special Edition Badges for the current season include:
Arcade Skills Resolve, Arcade Love Beyond Query, Color Your Skills, Tech Care, NetworSkills, and Learn-a-Thon.

If thereโ€™s still an issue with your points, the team will contact you. If you donโ€™t hear from them, your points tally is accurate.

7๏ธโƒฃ Review Prize Rules:
Itโ€™s a good idea to review the Prize Counter Rules and FAQs to avoid surprises during redemption.


๐ŸŽ‰ Whatโ€™s Next?
The Prize Counter is your chance to redeem all those hard-earned Arcade Points for some amazing swags. Stay tuned for the official opening date and keep an eye on your email inbox for your unique access link. Most probably in First or Second week of July, 2025.

โœจ Letโ€™s celebrate your achievements and gear up for redemption! ๐Ÿš€

Questions About Arcade Points and Communication

Hi everyone,

I started my journey with the Arcade program in January 2025, and shortly after, I joined the Facilitators Program. I'm trying to understand how many points I've earned so far. Do I need to calculate everything manually? Is there any official calculator or tool to track Arcade points?

Also, I havenโ€™t received any confirmation emails about the points Iโ€™ve earned, and Iโ€™m no longer getting messages from the Arcade program. Has the communication process changed?

Hereโ€™s my public profile:
๐Ÿ‘‰ https://www.cloudskillsboost.google/public_profiles/62a65cd8-99ca-4a87-b55d-c7632c895406

Thanks in advance for any help!
Best regards,

Hi buddy,

I suggest you to use an arcade points calculator which can be easily accessible from the google but also I would suggest you to count the points yourself as per the arcade points system.

You need to calculate your points manually using the point system mentioned above there is no official calculator to calculate points.
The GCAF Progress mails are there twice in a week but that too in till the program is live as it is of 2 months so you will get those mails in those two months only apart from this there are monthly insider mails which is out in 2nd week of every month.

My points estimate is ๐ŸŸฐ Subtotal (12 achievements highlighted): 60 points, however I cannot redeem them in any way. How do I proceed?

In first or second week you will get the prize counter mail with all other information wait for that mail.

Ok Obrigado ๐Ÿ™‚

In my case, I also subscribe to Arcade 5 to 6 times, and I started my arcade journey in May. Still, I also have not received any Arcade Insider mail, only i  recive the mail regarding Qwicklab complete and NOW, I also subscribe to arcade again, and can you tell me if I am not getting insider mail, then it is not creat any issue in future regarding swages                                                                                 please reply regarding this question .

Nobody got insider mail yet. It will be out in maybe a week. We'll have to wait.

Most probably Insider mail of July month will not be there as there is prize counter mail in this or next week.

Thank You For This Interesting Information Regarding Swags And Steps To Follow...

I Have Joined The Arcade From January 2025 To June 2025 And Completed Everything That Given In Each Every Month, But In January I Was Unable To Complete Level 2 And Level 3 !

So Now Can Anyone Tell Me What Will Be My Final Arcade Points ?

Note : I Get Insider Mail Mentioning I Have 50 Point For January To May 2025...
