How to Get Gems in Brawl Stars: Every Method Explained (2026)

You can score free gems in Brawl Stars without spending a dime by sticking to Supercell’s official methods. Claim free gems from store.supercell.com, earn more through the free Brawl Pass track, and scan official QR codes for bonus rewards. Join Supercell giveaways, grind Ranked mode after hitting 1,000 Trophies (Supercell replaced Power League with Ranked back in February 2024), and combine all five methods for faster gains. Each approach has tricks that’ll help you maximize every free gem available.

Key Takeaways

If you only read one part of this guide, this is it: the rest of the article goes deeper into each method below, including where the numbers come from and what’s changed since older guides were written.

• Earn free gems by progressing through the legitimate free gem methods in the free Brawl Pass track via daily quests and matches.
• Claim a small batch of free gems from Supercell’s official website by logging in with your Supercell ID and completing quests.
• Participate in Supercell-hosted events and giveaways, using event hashtags on social media for chances to win gems.
• Unlock Ranked mode at 1,000 Trophies (Supercell replaced Power League with Ranked in February 2024) and queue with Power Level 9+ Brawlers (rising to Power Level 11+ at Mythic and above) for Starr Drop and cosmetic rewards.
• Scan official QR codes from verified sources like LDShop during events, avoiding third-party scam sites entirely.

Get Free Gems From Supercell’s Official Website Every Season

Supercell’s official store gives you two ways to score free gems every season: directly through store.supercell.com/game/brawlstars and through the rewards system at id.supercell.com. Log into the store using your Supercell ID, scroll down, and claim your free gems from the quests or free rewards section. The store also occasionally runs bonus offers on gem purchases if you’re buying, so it’s worth checking the current promotions before you spend.

For the second method, head to id.supercell.com and log in with your Supercell ID to activate 1,000 free points. You can redeem those points for rewards through the system; Supercell’s own ID Rewards announcement describes points converting mainly into cosmetic items and raffle entries rather than gems directly, so don’t count on this route specifically for gems.

Boost your points further by completing in-game tasks while logged in, including things like winning battles, logging in regularly, or finishing the Brawl Pass.

Claim Free Gems Through the Brawl Pass Free Track

The Brawl Pass free track gives you access to gem rewards every season without spending a dime. As you earn XP through matches and daily quests, you’ll gain tiers that distribute gems alongside coins, credits, and other resources.

Most players collect a solid batch of gems per season this way, making it one of the most consistent free gem sources in the game.

Free Track Basics

Although it costs nothing, Brawl Stars’ free Brawl Pass track is one of the most reliable ways to earn Gems without spending money.

You’ll acquire Gems by advancing tiers through regular gameplay and quest completion. There’s no trick to it beyond consistency: here’s the exact sequence, and skipping a step just slows you down rather than locking you out:

1. Play matches consistently to accumulate tier progress.
2. Complete seasonal quests to accelerate advancement.
3. Claim Gems directly in-game once you reach qualifying tiers.
4. Repeat each season since the track resets regularly.

Beyond Gems, you’ll also receive coins, skins, and other rewards along the way. The free track complements the premium version perfectly, but it’s entirely sufficient on its own for patient players focused on steady, cost-free Gem accumulation. Small amounts of Gems also come from redeeming the latest Brawl Stars codes, plus daily quests and Trophy Road rewards, helping you build up your total even faster.

Earning Gems Progressively

Knowing how the free track works is one thing, but putting it into practice is another. To earn gems progressively, you’ll need to stay consistent with daily quests, which provide two tasks every day that feed directly into your Brawl Pass tokens. Don’t skip them; they’re your fastest path to tier advancement.

Seasonal quests work alongside dailies, giving you additional token sources without spending anything. You just need to play matches and complete what’s assigned. As you climb tiers, gem rewards become available at higher levels, so the more consistently you push forward, the more you’ll collect.

Combine match participation with quest completion every session, and you’ll steadily climb the free track before the season resets in roughly four weeks. Beyond the Brawl Pass, community milestone events can unlock additional gem rewards when players collectively complete shared in-game goals.

Do You Still Need Gems to Buy the Brawl Pass in 2026?

No, and this trips up a lot of players still following older guides. Supercell changed this in a January 2024 update: both the standard Brawl Pass and the Brawl Pass Plus tier can only be bought with real money now, not with Gems.

If you’ve been saving Gems specifically to buy a season’s Brawl Pass the way you could years ago, that route no longer exists, so budget your Gems toward skins, Brawlers, and shop offers instead. If a guide anywhere still tells you to save Gems for the pass itself, that’s a reliable sign it’s out of date.

Scan Official QR Codes for Bonus Rewards and Free Gems

Supercell releases official QR codes through its website and social media channels, offering bonus rewards like coins, Credits, icons, pins, and occasionally gems when you scan them through Brawl Stars’ in-game camera. You’ll want to check verified community trackers like LDShop regularly, since codes expire quickly and new ones roll out monthly.

Steer clear of third-party sites promising massive gem payouts through “secret codes,” as these are scams that Supercell doesn’t authorize. Daily quests and events can also yield occasional gems, giving you another legitimate avenue to supplement what you earn through QR codes.

QR Code Reward Types

Brawl Stars’ official QR codes provide access to a variety of rewards, and knowing what each one offers helps you prioritize which codes to claim first. These aren’t steps to follow in order, just the categories you’ll run into, so you know what to prioritize claiming first:

1. Cosmetic Pins: Includes themed pins like Black Friday, cat, and Subway Surfers variants.
2. Profile Icons: Cosmetic icons that personalize your account and vary by code availability.
3. Gems: The rarest reward type, offering small Gem bundles through limited seasonal codes.
4. Currency: Coins, Bling, or Krusty Kash, with amounts varying by code.

Since gems are the rarest drop, claim gem-specific codes immediately. Currency codes expire faster than cosmetics, so treat those as equally time-sensitive. Developers release new codes regularly during events, so checking back frequently ensures you never miss a limited reward category.

Where To Find Codes

Finding QR codes is straightforward once you know where to look. Start with Supercell’s official channels: their social media pages, YouTube channel, and in-game announcements regularly feature active codes. The official Discord and Reddit communities also share verified codes directly from developers, making them reliable spots to check.

Beyond official sources, several trusted gaming sites compile updated lists monthly. Pocket Tactics, Gamerant, Lootbar, and LDShop all verify and publish working QR codes, so you’re not wasting time on expired links. These blogs stay current, removing codes once they’re no longer active.

Don’t overlook YouTube videos and creator event promos either; they sometimes distribute unadvertised codes that don’t appear elsewhere. Check these sources frequently since availability shifts quickly and codes expire after a set period post-release.

Avoiding Fake QR Codes

Knowing how to spot fake QR codes could save your account from permanent damage. Scammers flood social media and unofficial sites with deceptive QR images promising unlimited gems, but scanning them risks phishing attacks, malware, and permanent account bans from Supercell.

Treat all four of these as mandatory, not a checklist you can stop partway through, before scanning any QR code:

1. Verify the code appears on Supercell’s official social media, YouTube, or verified events.
2. Check the URL: it must be a Brawl Stars deep link, not an external site.
3. Cross-reference codes against trusted lists from Pocket Tactics or LDShop.
4. Reject any code promising gems directly; official rewards only include cosmetics like pins, sprays, and icons.

Enable two-factor authentication on your Supercell ID and report suspicious codes immediately to Supercell support.

Win Free Gems Through Supercell Events and Giveaways

Supercell regularly hosts events and giveaways that let you earn free gems without spending a dime. The Brawlentines event runs February 14th–25th, requiring 20 million community Takedowns per phase to access Love Boxes containing gems.

Enter the official giveaway by posting screenshots on social media using #Brawlentines and #Brawlstars for a chance to win. Sharing daily boosts your chances.

Event	Reward	How to Participate
Brawlentines Giveaway	1 Million Gems	Post screenshots with hashtags
Community Milestones	Love Boxes + Gems	Complete Takedown goals in-game
YouTube Giveaways	Brawl Pass + Gems	Follow entry steps on channel
Twitch Drops	Gems + Starr Drops	Link Supercell ID, meet watch time

Track active events through the in-game News tab and follow Supercell’s official social channels so you never miss a phase or entry window. Brawlentine’s itself is a real, recurring Valentine’s-themed season Supercell runs most years with its own shop skins, so it’s the specific numbers above, the Takedown count and the million-gem prize, that couldn’t be verified, not the event’s existence.

Grind Free Gems in Ranked Mode (Formerly Power League) After Hitting 1,000 Trophies

Once you hit 1,000 Trophies on Trophy Road, you’ll access Ranked mode, a competitive 3v3 mode where climbing ranks can earn you Starr Drops, Bling, and cosmetic rewards. Supercell retired the old Power League system (which had itself replaced Power Play back in March 2021) and rebuilt it as Ranked in February 2024, so if you’ve seen “Power League” mentioned elsewhere, including in older versions of this guide, that’s the outdated name for this same mode.

It offers unlimited daily matches against skilled opponents. Whether this mode reliably hands out gems at all is unclear from anything Supercell has published, so it’s smarter to treat gem drops here as a bonus, not the reason to grind it.

None of these steps guarantee a gem drop on their own, since the mode’s reward pool is randomized; think of this as how to maximize your odds, not a fixed formula. To maximize your gem potential, follow these steps:

1. Equip Brawlers at Power Level 9 or higher before entering matches, rising to Power Level 11+ once you reach Mythic and above (this is Ranked’s current gating, updated from the old Power League’s Power Level 7 requirement).
2. Climb consistently by winning ranked encounters against veteran players.
3. Aim for the highest rank possible to access the reward pool.
4. Accept randomization: gems aren’t guaranteed, but higher ranks improve your odds.

The reward pool is luck-dependent, so no fixed gem amount exists regardless of rank. You’ll face tough competition, making skill your biggest asset. Treat Ranked mode like any competitive ladder: grind consistently, adapt your strategy, and accept that gem drops (where they happen at all) require both performance and favorable randomization; its reward track is built mainly around Starr Drops, Bling, and cosmetics rather than a dedicated gem payout.

Stack Your Gems Faster by Combining All Five Methods

Ranked mode is just one piece of the puzzle; your real gem gains come from running all five methods simultaneously. Stack the Brawl Pass free track’s seasonal gems with Supercell’s own seasonal gems from their official website.

Scan updated QR codes regularly for bonus rewards, and stay active in official events and community giveaways, where quizzes, watch-alongs, and prediction events deliver substantial gem payouts. Round everything out with daily quests and Club Wars participation to keep resources compounding between seasons.

The math adds up fast when you stack every source instead of relying on just one. Consistent Supercell Store visits alone, without touching a single match, add up to a meaningful stash over a year.

Add consistent Brawl Pass completion, event wins, and QR code scanning, and you’re pulling gems from five separate income streams at once. Each method reinforces the others, so skipping even one leaves real gems on the table. Run them all together and your gem total grows markedly faster.

What Do Gems Actually Buy in Brawl Stars?

With the Brawl Pass off the table as a Gem purchase, Gems today mostly go toward unlocking Brawlers directly through the shop, buying Brawler skins (including seasonal Gem-only skins), XP Doublers, and topping up Coins or Power Points when you’re short.

Seasonal event skins (Brawlentine’s is a real recurring example) are typically Gems-only and disappear once the event ends, which is one more reason a saved-up Gem balance for something specific usually beats spending the moment you earn it. Exact prices shift by skin rarity and change with updates, so check the in-game shop for current numbers rather than trusting a fixed price list from any guide, including this one.

Spot and Avoid Free Gems Scams in 2026

Every free gem method covered so far has one thing in common: it runs through official Supercell channels. Scammers know this breaks their schemes, so they manufacture urgency, fake credibility, and lookalike websites to bypass your skepticism.

These four show up again and again across unrelated scam sites, which is itself a tell that they’re copy-pasted rather than specific to Brawl Stars. Watch for these four scam patterns:

1. Time-limited gem offers: Artificial deadlines exploit FOMO to rush your decision-making.
2. Influencer impersonation: Fake accounts borrow creator credibility to push phishing links.
3. Survey and app requirements: “Free” gems gated behind downloads or sign-ups aren’t free.
4. Credential requests: Any platform asking for your Supercell ID login before delivering gems is stealing them.

Legitimate promotions never ask for payment details, account credentials, or personal data. Real codes redeem directly inside the game and never require anything beyond entering the code itself.

Conclusion

You’ve now got five solid ways to earn free gems in Brawl Stars without spending a dime or risking your account. Stick to these legitimate methods, stay consistent, and you’ll stack gems faster than you’d expect. Remember, if something sounds too good to be true, it’s a scam, so avoid it completely. Keep grinding, claim every reward you can, and let your gem balance grow the right way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Free Gems Be Transferred Between Different Brawl Stars Accounts?

You can’t transfer free Gems between different Brawl Stars accounts. Supercell’s policy locks Gems to the account that earned them, and attempting transfers risks suspension per their terms of service.

Do Free Gems Expire if Not Spent Within a Certain Timeframe?

Most free gems don’t expire once they’re in your account. However, you’ll lose gems from codes, QR rewards, and redeem links if you don’t claim them before their deadlines. Supercell Store stamps also expire after a set period, so check the current Store terms if it matters for your planning.

How Many Total Free Gems Can a Player Earn Annually?

There’s no fixed annual total, since it depends on how consistently you complete the Brawl Pass free track, check the Supercell Store each season, and take part in events. Your Trophy Road progress can add extra gems on top, depending on your activity level.

Are Free Gem Methods Available in All Countries Worldwide?

Yes, you can access free gem methods in virtually all countries worldwide. Whether you’re grinding daily quests, claiming Brawl Pass rewards, or redeeming special links, there aren’t any geographic restrictions blocking your access.

Can Banned Accounts Still Claim Free Gems Through Official Methods?

If your account’s banned, you can’t claim free gems through any official methods. Supercell restricts all in-game features, including gem rewards, Brawl Pass progression, and Trophy Road milestones, until your ban’s lifted or appealed successfully.
