World of Tanks is a free project because the game can be freely downloaded and installed, and most purchases are paid for with a standard internal currency – silver coins.
A rare means of payment are gold coins, which are required to get premium privileges (account, equipment, ammunition) and for certain services (clan creation, name changes, etc.).

Non-Working Ways to Earn Gold in WoT
In search of ways to earn gold coins, WoT users find on various sites contradictory information about the possibility of quickly obtaining them in one of the following ways:
- Online resources provide opening cases for a monetary reward with the promise of getting Gold, unique equipment, and other bonuses at a price much lower than on the official site. Taking advantage of such an offer, the World of Tanks user receives the promised reward on this site but can not transfer it to his game account, wasting money.
- Cheating consists of downloading and installing various codes and programs to hack the project. It can not be functional when account information is stored on remote servers and not on the local computer. The result of using such a method is computer hacking, identity theft, and damage or destruction of information, so it is not wise to use it.
- Begging, in the form of spam messages in the hope of sponsorship from other users, is unlikely to produce results and is more likely to result in a negative image and blocking.
IMPORTANT: the above methods are fraudulent, it is unacceptable to use them, and resources that offer such opportunities should be put on the list of unreliable.
Buying Gold in the In-Game Store
The easiest and most legitimate way to purchase gold coins is to buy them in the in-game Store, after which the currency is immediately credited to the account and can be used.
The store offer in WoT can include only gold coins or be combined and contain also silver and a premium account for a few days.
Gold for Account Protection
Periodically, on Wargaming projects, there are promotions aimed at increasing the security of user accounts and allowing you to get gold coins for performing specific actions.
Phone Linking
As part of the campaign to protect WoT accounts, tying a phone number in the lynch cabinet on wargaming.net can bring gold coins or a few days of premium.
Change or Confirmation of E-mail
Changing or verifying the specified e-mail address can also bring a certain number of gold coins if it is a condition of the promotion by the game developer.
Change Password
Changing the password to the wargaming.net account is another way to increase its security and can bring gold coins within the framework of the corresponding event.
Clan Wars on the Global Map
One of the game modes – is battles on the global map as part of clans, in which players must capture new territories and defend already conquered ones to maintain income.
The type and amount of resources obtained from controlling a specific area on the global map depends on its level, which determines the availability of the corresponding combat equipment.
Gameplay settings provide for the distribution of income from battles on the global map between the fighting participants depending on their contribution to the clan’s capture of new territories and retention of positions.
The method is relevant for players with a high level of tank equipment, who are members of a developed clan and have a lot of free time to devote to battles on the global map.
Participation in Tournaments
For players who are ready to demonstrate their skills in tournament fights in single and cooperative modes, WoT provides various tournaments, which are held daily on one of the systems:
- RoundRobin (RR), which is used in group stages and provides for consecutive battles of participants against each other within the group;
- Single Elimination (SE), when a player is eliminated on the first defeat;
- Double Elimination (DE), where players are eliminated after two losses.
The amount of gold that can be earned for participation depends on the level of combat equipment and the place taken and can range from 50 coins for a place from 9 to 16 on a level IV tank, up to 1600 gold for winning a tournament of X complexity.
Weekend and Weekly Missions
Occasionally, the WoT developer announces weekend missions, usually timed to coincide with some significant event.
To get the reward, which may include gold coins, you need to fulfill certain conditions, such as:
- participate in at least ten random battles per day on vehicles with levels IV to X;
- get into the top 7 at the end of the event.
Weekly missions are held on the project with random periodicity and consist of certain activities of users for the opportunity to receive valuable prizes, for example:
- take part in a meme contest;
- create a colorful video with the passage of the battle.
The list of actual missions for the weekend and weekly marathon should be specified on the news page of the World of Tanks project.
Missions of the Training Ground
All new WoT users before the start of the game get to the “Training Ground,” which consists of four parts and allows you to master the following skills:
- Fundamentals of tank control and firing.
- Aiming in modes: auto, on-moving targets, and sniper fire.
- Using the minigraph, the basics of camouflage and detection of enemies.
- Using equipment in combat mode and the hangar.
After completing the training, the player will have to pass the final skills test in a team with 14 bots against 15 opponents controlled by artificial intelligence. Successful completion of the final battle of the “Training Ground” will get 500 gold and 3 days of premium.
Participation in Official Competitions
