Confusion over the Arcade.

[AdityaSeth777]

I received the e-mail and activated the credits for my account. But I had one question.

Did we get these credits for the Arcade labs only or for any dedicated pathway ?

Because if any person who didn't get credits is completing labs in the arcade, he/she is also eligible for swags and stuff.

Then where would we actually be using these credits for ? Dedicated pathway ? 

I'm actually very confused.

do these competition.
If i am eligible then please proceed. If you faced any issues for giving me
credits so issues. I will understand.

The credits you received are for the Arcade labs only. You can use them to purchase swags and other rewards, but you cannot use them to purchase labs in other pathways.

The reason why people who did not receive credits can still complete labs in the Arcade and be eligible for swags is because the Arcade is a free-to-play experience. Anyone can access the Arcade and complete labs without having to pay anything. However, if you want to purchase swags or other rewards, you will need to use credits.

The dedicated pathways are a different story. The labs in the dedicated pathways are not free. You need to pay for them using either credits or real money. If you use credits to purchase a lab in a dedicated pathway, you will not be able to use those credits to purchase swags or other rewards in the Arcade.

I hope this helps to clarify things. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I don't think so.

Because the people who registered for the Arcade specifically through facilitators get a 2 month subscription of credits and can complete any labs. Whereas the people only attempting Arcade from the web page are eligible for the prizes shown there (without any credit system whatsoever).

Now, my question was "Are the prize counters same ? If yes, how are the credibility of the other labs are being calculated?"

If u didn't enroll under facilitators and complete the games by yourself with ur own credits or monthly subscription at end u will not receive a bonus for the milestone mentioned on the website.

Here are some additional details about the prize counters:

The Arcade prize counter is divided into 4 milestones, with each level corresponding to a certain number of points.

🏆 Milestone 1: Complete 2 Arcade Games, 1 Trivia Quest & 9 Skill Badges
