Free play and acorns
You never have to pay to play. Acorns are the free currency for free tournaments, which are open across the US.
Every Deku game is free to download and free to play. Cash tournaments are optional.
What acorns are
Acorns are the free in-app currency you use to enter free tournaments. Free tournaments play by the same rules as cash tournaments: everyone gets the same board, and scores are calculated on our servers.
Deku does not sell acorns, and you cannot buy them with cash or anything else.
How you get acorns
- A bonus when you create your account
- Daily login rewards
- Winning acorn tournaments
- Rewards in Deku Tower and other free promotional events
What acorns cannot do
Acorns have no cash value. You cannot withdraw them, transfer them to another player, redeem them for cash or gift cards, or use them to enter cash tournaments.
Where you can play for free
Free tournaments are available in every US state, to players 18 and older. Cash tournaments are available only in select US states. See the list in section 2.2 of our Terms of Service.
