Pick'em Coins are the currency behind Kokomo's Pro Leagues and limited-time events. You can buy them directly, earn them from weekly prizes, and redeem them for real cash whenever you want.
This guide walks through everything: how to buy Pick'em Coins, the payment methods available, how to earn them through competition, and what you can actually do with them once you have them.
Pick'em Coins are redeemable for US dollars at a fixed rate: 100 Pick'em Coins = $1. You can cash out anytime.
How to Get Pick'em Coins
There are two ways to obtain Pick'em Coins:
1. Buy Them Directly
Purchase Pick'em Coins through the platform using card, crypto wallet, or manual crypto transfer. We'll walk through the full process below.
2. Win Them in Competitions
Every week, Kokomo Pick'em awards prizes to top leaderboard performers. Weekly prize pools often include Pick'em Coins as rewards. Finish high on the leaderboard and your prize automatically credits to your coin balance.
How to Buy Pick'em Coins
Step 1: Open the Get Coins Tab
From the Pick'em section of the app, click "Get Coins" in the navigation bar. This opens your Pick'em Coins dashboard.
Step 2: Review Your Balance
At the top of the screen, you'll see your current Pick'em Coins balance. Below that, the interface shows:
- Buy: The variety of packages you can purchase
- History: A full log of every coin transaction
- Redeem: Where to redeem your coins for USDC
Step 3: Select a Package
Kokomo offers several coin packages:
- 100 Pick'em Coins — $1
- 500 Pick'em Coins — $5 (Starter Pack)
- 1,100 Pick'em Coins — $10 (Popular Pack, +10% bonus)
- 3,000 Pick'em Coins — $25 (Value Pack, +20% bonus)
- 6,500 Pick'em Coins — $50 (+30% bonus)
Larger packages include bonus coins. The Popular Pack and Value Pack are the most cost-efficient options if you're planning to enter multiple Pro Leagues or events.
Click on the package you want to purchase.
Step 4: Choose Your Payment Method
After selecting a package, three payment options appear:
Option 1: Pay With Card
The simplest method. Click "Pay With Card" and the platform processes payment through Coinbase Commerce. Enter your card details and complete the purchase. Coins credit to your account instantly.
Option 2: Connect Wallet
If you already use a crypto wallet, this is the fastest option. Supported wallets include:
- Core Wallet
- MetaMask
- Trust Wallet
- Coinbase Wallet
Click "Connect Wallet", select your wallet from the list, authorize the connection, and confirm the payment. Coins appear in your balance immediately after the transaction confirms on-chain.
Option 3: Send Crypto Manually
For users who prefer to send crypto directly from an exchange or external wallet, Kokomo provides a manual transfer option with step-by-step instructions:
1. Select Network: Choose from Base, Avalanche, Polygon, and other supported networks
2. Select Currency: Pick USDC or USDT
3. Enter Sending Wallet: Provide the wallet address you're sending from
4. Send Exact Amount: Transfer the precise amount shown to the provided Kokomo address
Once the transaction confirms, your coins credit automatically. Manual transfers typically take a few minutes depending on network congestion.
Step 5: Confirm Your Purchase
After payment processes, your new coin balance appears at the top of the Get Coins screen. Check your transaction history to confirm the purchase logged correctly.
How to Redeem Pick'em Coins for Cash
Pick'em Coins aren't locked in the platform. You can cash them out anytime.
Step 1: Go to Get Coins Tab
Open the same Get Coins interface where you purchased coins.
Step 2: Click Redeem
At the top of the screen, next to the Buy button, you'll see "Redeem". Click it.
Step 3: Enter Amount
Specify how many Pick'em Coins you want to redeem. Remember: 100 Pick'em Coins = $1.
Step 4: Confirm Withdrawal
Choose your withdrawal method (typically the same wallet or payment method you used to deposit). Confirm the transaction and the equivalent USDC credits to your account.
There's no minimum redemption amount and no fees for cashing out. Your coins, your choice.
What You Can Do With Pick'em Coins
1. Enter Pro Leagues
Pro Leagues are private Pick'em competitions where the league creator sets an entry fee. All entry fees go into a prize pool and the best predictor in the league wins it.
Entry fees are paid in Pick'em Coins. League creators set the fee — it could be 100 coins ($1), 500 coins ($5), or any amount they choose.
To join a Pro League:
- Navigate to Leagues in the Pick'em section
- Browse available Pro Leagues or join via an invite link
- Pay the entry fee in Pick'em Coins
- Compete on the private leaderboard for the prize pool
Pro Leagues are perfect for friend groups, workplace competitions, or affiliate-run branded leagues. The entry fee keeps competition serious and the prize pool makes winning meaningful.
2. Enter Limited-Time Events
Kokomo runs special Pick'em events throughout the season. These competitions have their own formats, rules, and prize structures — and entry is paid with Pick'em Coins.
Current Example: Champions League Bracket
The Champions League Bracket is a limited-time event where players predict the knockout stage outcomes. Entry costs 100 Pick'em Coins ($1), and the prize pool is unlimited — it grows with every entry.
Predict the bracket correctly and win a share of the total prize pool. These events appear periodically and are announced in the Pick'em section when they go live.
Limited-time events give you more ways to use your prediction skills beyond the weekly leaderboard and Pro Leagues.
Pick'em Coins vs Regular Kokomo Balance
Pick'em Coins are separate from your main Kokomo account balance used for tournament entries on games like Snake, Tetris, and Ludo.
Pick'em Coins:
- Used exclusively for Pick'em Pro Leagues and events
- Earned through Pick'em leaderboard prizes
- Redeemable for USDC at 100 coins = $1
Main Account Balance:
- Used for game tournament entries (Snake, Flappy Dunk, etc.)
- Funded via deposits or tournament winnings
- Withdrawn directly as USDC
They're two separate currencies within the platform. Coins you earn or buy for Pick'em stay within the Pick'em ecosystem unless you redeem them for cash.
Common Questions
Can I transfer Pick'em Coins to another user?
No. Pick'em Coins are tied to your account and can't be gifted or transferred.
Do Pick'em Coins expire?
No. Coins remain in your balance indefinitely until you spend or redeem them.
What happens if a Pro League I entered gets cancelled?
If a league doesn't run or is cancelled before completion, entry fees are refunded to participants' coin balances.
Can I buy coins with crypto directly from my exchange?
Yes. Use the "Send Crypto Manually" option and transfer USDC or USDT from your exchange to the provided Kokomo address.
Is there a discount for buying larger packages?
Yes. Larger packages include bonus coins — up to 30% extra on the 6,500 coin pack.
Why Pick'em Coins Exist
Pick'em Coins create a self-contained economy for football predictions. Instead of mixing Pro League entry fees with main Kokomo tournament deposits, coins keep Pick'em competitions separate and easier to manage.
They also allow Kokomo to offer bonus packages and promotions specific to Pick'em without affecting the broader platform economy.
Most importantly: coins are redeemable. They're not a locked-in platform currency. Buy them, use them, win more, cash out whenever you want.
