There is no longer any reason to fall victim to a scam trade on Monopoly Go with the introduction of the new Safe Trading feature. Worry not! In this guide, I’ll cover everything you need to know about stickers and how to trade them safely in Monopoly Go!
What’s Monopoly GO Safe Trading?
Monopoly GO Safe Trading allows tycoons to accept or decline an offer after reviewing the offered cards. If players receive an incorrect sticker, they can reject it and have theirs returned promptly. With safe trading, players can view the stickers their trade partner wishes to exchange before finalizing the deal.
How To Use Monopoly GO Safe Trading?
Before trading stickers in Monopoly GO, note the following: You must have at least one duplicate sticker in your collection to trade or send to other players. Duplicate stickers will be marked with a sign, such as a +1 if you have one duplicate. Additionally, to trade with another player, they must be on your in-game friends list. Remember, Gold Stickers cannot be traded.
In Monopoly GO Safe Trading, players can review the stickers their trade partner intends to exchange. The trade will proceed only when both players have agreed to exchange stickers. These are the simple steps to use this new safe trading feature:
Find a trader : We recommend using a dedicated trading Discord to find potential traders, but you can also use Facebook, Reddit, and other community sites to post and locate a potential trader.
- If you aren’t friends, add the Trader in-game via your invitation link or through Facebook.
- Launch the game and tap on the “Album” tab at the bottom-right of your screen.
- View all the sticker sets available in-game. Look for the sticker you want to exchange. Note that you can only exchange extra stickers, denoted by a plus sign and the number of stickers you have above its title.
- Tap the ‘Send to Friend’ button at the bottom and turn on ‘Make an Exchange.’ Select a sticker to trade, then select the friend you want to trade with and tap “Continue.” Finally, choose the “Make an Exchange” option.
- A pop-up box will inform you of the other player’s number of tradable stickers. Tap Exchange to continue the trade.
- This will send the trade request. The recipient will be able to see the request in their timeline.
- The other players have about 24 hours to respond to the request. They can either accept the request and propose their offer, or decline your request.
- If they make an offer, consider it carefully before accepting.
- You will receive a notification in your timeline about the trade and see what the other party has offered. Ensure that the person has put up the correct sticker before accepting the trade.
- Finally, tap “Okay” once the proposal is sent.
IF the other party doesn’t respond to your request, your sticker will be returned once the daily limit resets. It can be frustrating that it’s locked in place, but at least you’ll get it back in time. Declining the offer means you and the other party will need to restart the trade.
The safe trading feature was introduced to protect players from scams. However, this does not mean players can’t send stickers as they used to before. If a player wants to send a sticker to their friend traditionally, they can still do so.
What Happens After I Send A Safe Exchange Proposal?
Once you send a Safe Exchange proposal, your friend will receive a notification to propose a sticker in return. The exchange is not performed until both parties agree on the stickers to be exchanged.
How to Accept Another Player’s Offer
- Go to the Friends & Family section.
- Navigate to the Timeline tab.
- Click on “Accept Offer” and select a sticker to exchange when the popup appears.
- Finally, hit the Continue button to accept the trade.
Can I Cancel A Safe Exchange Proposal?
You cannot cancel a Safe Exchange proposal once it has been sent. However, once your friend responds to the proposal, you have the option to decline the exchange.
How Many Stickers Can Be Traded Per Day?
Monopoly GO has a trading limit of up to five trades per day, applicable to safe trading as well. Players can trade up to five stickers daily, regardless of whether they use safe trading or the usual approach.
You can initiate 5 Safe Exchanges per day. However, you can receive up to 50 stickers daily from trading.
How To Avoid Scams in Trading
Unfortunately, while many Monopoly GO players are here to play the game and complete their albums like you, some have other intentions.
You may occasionally encounter people who plan to initiate unfair trades to gain your stickers without giving anything in return. Here are some tips to help you avoid these scam situations.
Important Tips for Being Safe While Trading Your Stickers
- Whenever possible, trade with people you trust or have exchanged stickers with previously.
- Stick to sticker exchanges if you don’t know the person you’re trading with.
- Watch the card they give you and ensure it’s the exact sticker you asked for.
- Use resources like the Official Monopoly GO Discord’s trading guide for details on reputation systems and scammer reporting.
Generally, be cautious when trading with players you don’t know, especially if you’re new to trading.
Why Can’t I Trade Gold Stickers In Monopoly GO?
You can only trade Gold Stickers if a Golden Blitz event is active. During Golden Blitz, two gold cards will appear, allowing you to freely trade them with others as you would a regular sticker.
