What the two daily lists actually held on 22 Oct 2026
We opened both lists on 22 Oct 2026 and counted the links each one is publishing as live, instead of trusting a number in a headline. Both carry an update stamp of 21 Oct 2026. Neither showed the same set, and the differences are more useful than the links themselves.
| What the link gives | Pocket Tactics, updated 21 Oct | Pocket Gamer, published 21 Oct | What the difference means |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 free dice | Live — “added October 21 (new!)” | Live — “valid until October 22nd” | Both call it live. Only one prints an end date, and that date is today — so the freshest link on either page is also the one closest to dying. |
| McDonald’s Fry shield | Live — “added October 7” | Live — “valid until January 8th” | Both call it live. A shield link added in early October is stamped to run into January, which is three months longer than the “a few days” the other page warns about. |
| Daffy Duck shield | In its expired section — “added July 30” | Live — “valid until November 23rd” | One page has already buried a link the other says still has three weeks to run. If you only read the first page you never see it; if you only read the second you may tap something already retired. |
| 25 free dice | Live — “added October 17” | Not listed at all | Neither page is complete. This one exists on one list only. |
Three and three, agreeing on two. The honest count for that morning is four distinct links across the two lists — not three, and not six. Read one page and you are shown a set that the other page has already edited in two places, in opposite directions.
The ratio below the live block is the part worth remembering. On 22 Oct 2026 the Pocket Tactics page carried 44 links in total, 41 of them sitting in its own expired section. A dice-link page is mostly an archive; the part that still pays out is the short block at the top, and that block is what changes from one day to the next. One of the archived links there offers 75 dice and was added on 19 Oct — a bigger reward that died inside three days, while a shield link from July is still being printed as live by the other page.
One tap, four different failures
Searches for this game ask for “codes”, and what people actually want is dice. The two are not the same thing here, and that mismatch is why so much of the advice online does not help: it tells you to find a fresher list when the problem is the hand-off between your browser and the app. Sort the symptom first.
| What you see | What is actually wrong | What fixes it | Retry? |
|---|---|---|---|
| The link opens the App Store instead of the game | The tap never handed off to the app. It stayed in the browser, and the browser decided the right destination was the store page. | Open Monopoly GO first and leave it running, then tap the link again. When your browser asks whether to open it in another app, say yes. | Yes |
| Nothing happens at all when you tap | Either the link has already been claimed on this account, or the app was not running or not up to date. | Close the game completely and open it again, then retry once. If it still does nothing, that link is spent for your account. | Once, after a restart |
| It works for a friend and not for you | The same link behaves differently per device. Android and iPhone do not hand off to the app in the same way. | On iPhone, use the explicit open control instead of trusting the tap to switch apps by itself. | Yes |
| It worked yesterday and does nothing today | The link itself has expired. Dice links are short-lived by design. | Nothing you can do on your side. Get a newer link. | No |
There is a fifth failure that is not on this table because it belongs to a different page: the redemption website refusing to sign you in, or answering with a rate-limit message. That one is a route problem on the HoYoverse games and we answered the questions players ask about it separately.
Before any link pays out: level 15, and the albums feature
This is the one that gets missed entirely, and it makes a working link look broken. The list we follow states it plainly: you need to reach level 15 and unlock the in-game albums feature before these links do anything for you. On an account below that, the tap is not the problem and neither is the link.
The second list phrases the same gate in a way that is easier to place: level 15 in your Net Worth Gallery, which most players pass shortly after moving from the New York board to the London board. Two pages, two names for one wall — “albums” on one and “net worth gallery” on the other — and the same number: 15. If a link gives you nothing and you are still on the New York board, stop looking for a fresher link.
Once you are past the gate the sequence is short and it is the same on both platforms: the link opens the app by itself, a pop-up reads “Here’s a gift for you!”, and you press the green collect button. If you are not seeing that pop-up, you are not past the gate yet, or the hand-off failed — which is the first row of the table above.
How long a free dice link lasts — and why the reward size does not tell you
The two lists give different answers, and both are worth reading together. The first one says these links “generally expire within a few days”. The second one says the life is not fixed at all, and adds a rule of thumb: a link offering 30 rolls is usually available for longer than one offering 25.
The end dates printed on 22 Oct 2026 show how wide the spread really is: one live link was stamped to end that same day, another in November, another in January. So “a few days” is the average, not the rule, and a link that still works a fortnight after you saved it is not a mistake.
What the reward size cannot tell you is whether a link is still alive. On the same day, one list was already filing a 75-dice link under expired, three days after adding it, while a shield link from July was still being printed as live by the other page. Bigger reward, shorter life — the two are unrelated.
Which gives you one thing to look for before you trust any dice-link page: does it keep the dead links visible, or does it quietly delete them? A page with an expired section tells you what it has already checked. A page with only live-looking entries tells you nothing about how recently anything was tested.
Android and iPhone are not the same tap
The most useful thing in the threads we follow is a set of reports that disagree with each other — and the disagreement is the answer. From the same thread, quoted as written:
“I don’t encounter any problems with the links on my android phone. But for iPhone, I just tap on the ‘open’ thingy that I encircled and then the link works perfectly fine.”
“I am on iphone too and it just directly sends me to the app”
Two iPhone users, opposite experiences, same game and same kind of link. That is what a hand-off problem looks like: it depends on which browser you opened the link in, whether the app was already running, and which control you pressed. It does not depend on the code list being fresh.
The recurring symptom in those threads is the store detour, and the players who reported it were specific about the difference:
“Didn’t work for me. If the link takes me to the app store, it will not work. If it goes back to the game, then in general, works for me.”
That is a player’s own observation, not a published rule, and we are reporting it as exactly that. It is also the most actionable sentence we found anywhere on this problem: watch where the link lands, and you already know whether it is going to work.
The browser fix that some people swear by — and its limit
The fix that keeps coming up is to change which browser handles the link, and for the people who did it, it worked:
“Ever since fixing to browser I never had issues”
It is worth knowing that it is not universal, and the same thread says so. One player made the change and still hit a wall, for a reason that is easy to miss:
“I made that fix in my settings but my links don’t work when shared with others in Reddit.”
Your own links, on your own phone, are a different case from someone else’s link pasted into a public thread. If the browser change fixed your own links and not the shared ones, you have not done anything wrong — you have run into the part of this that the player cannot control.
Why there is no code to type on this page
Every other game we track issues strings. You type them, they get checked, you get mail. Monopoly GO does not work that way: its “codes” are links — dice links and friend links — that carry the reward inside the link itself. There is nothing to copy and paste, which is why a list of code strings for this game would be useless even if someone published one.
The other reason this page is a diagnosis rather than a list: these links expire within days, and the pages that keep up with them are updated several times a day. We re-check our own sources once a day, so a link list from us would be stale for most of the time you were reading it. What we can do honestly is explain the failures and let you take any list — ours, or anyone’s — and tell within one tap whether it is going to work.
What we do not do is print links we have not verified. A dead link looks exactly like a live one until you tap it, and we are not going to fill a table with strings we cannot stand behind.
Frequently asked questions
What are the Monopoly GO codes right now?
There is no code string to give you. A Monopoly GO code is a link, and the working ones change within days. What this page answers is the question underneath the search — why the link you already have is not opening — because that is the part you can actually fix.
Why does the link take me to the App Store instead of the game?
Because the tap stayed in the browser and the browser decided the store page was the right destination. Open the game first, leave it running, then tap the link, and allow the “open in another app” prompt when it appears.
Why do links work for other people and not for me?
Because the hand-off is per device. In the thread we follow, two iPhone users reported opposite results on the same kind of link, and one of them had to use the explicit open control rather than relying on the tap. Android and iPhone do not route these links the same way.
Do I need to be a certain level?
Yes. The list we follow states that you need to reach level 15 and unlock the in-game albums feature before these links pay out. Below that, a working link looks exactly like a broken one.
Where do free dice links come from?
From the developer, not from the list you are reading. Both lists we opened on 22 Oct 2026 publish the links as short addresses on mply.io, and the second one states outright that every link in its article was distributed by Scopely. The list is an index of what Scopely put out, which is why “who has the newest list” matters more than “who has the biggest list”.
How long do Monopoly GO free dice links last?
It varies, and neither list claims otherwise. One says they “generally expire within a few days”; the other prints an end date per link, and on 22 Oct 2026 those dates ran from that same day to 8 Jan. A link that still works long after you saved it is normal. A link that dies the next morning is also normal.
Is there anything to type into a code box?
No. Unlike Genshin Impact or Star Rail, this game has no code box to paste a string into — the reward travels inside the link. That is also why “free dice links” and “codes” get used as if they were the same phrase when they are not.
Should I keep tapping a link that did nothing?
Restart the game and try once more. If it still does nothing, the link is spent for your account and tapping it again will not change that. A link that was already claimed and a link that expired look identical from the outside.
What we cannot tell you about this
We cannot see your account, your level, or which browser you tapped the link in, so nothing on this page tells you whether your specific tap was already claimed. What we can do is keep the four failure modes separated, because they get collapsed into one sentence — “the links don’t work” — everywhere else.
For the games where there is a string to type, we do keep a status and a date on every code. Our Genshin Impact list is here, and there is a code list for Star Rail, Wuthering Waves, Zenless Zone Zero, Honkai Impact 3rd and Raid: Shadow Legends as well.
