Shuffle Community Guide 2026
## 🟦 **What Members Usually Mention About Shuffle**
Shuffle is commonly discussed as a social-style gaming platform where users interact with games, events, and challenges using Gold Coins and Shuffle Cash.
In group conversations, members usually talk about:
* How starter credits work
* Differences between daily, weekly, and VIP-style codes
* Community races and activity-based rewards
* The general flow of the platform for new users
Many people prefer to understand these mechanics first before deciding whether the platform fits their interests.
***
## 🟦 **Shuffle Promo Codes Mentioned in the Community**
Members sometimes share different **Shuffle promo codes**, each linked to a specific type of starter access or community event. These codes do not change gameplay rules - they mainly unlock participation in certain features.
### **Codes Currently Discussed**
* **HELLA**
*Exclusive Welcome / VIP-style access*
New users receive **[25,000 Gold Coins + 1 Shuffle Cash](https://shuffle.us/?r=HELLA)**.
* **HELLANEW**
*Daily Race access*
Used by members to join the **10,000,000 Gold Coins Daily Race**.
* **HELLAGOOD**
*Weekly Race access*
Mentioned in connection with the **[10,000 Shuffle Cash Weekly Race](https://shuffle.com/?r=HELLAGOOD)**.
* **CSGOBETTINGS**
*No-deposit starter access*
New users receive **25,000 Gold Coins + 1 Shuffle Cash** without making a payment.
Community feedback suggests these codes simply activate different entry points (welcome, race participation, or basic testing), rather than acting as traditional bonuses.
***
## 🟦 **How to Use a Promo Code on Shuffle**
Based on shared experience, activating a promo code is straightforward:
1. Create a Shuffle account
2. During registration, open the **Referral / Promo Code** field
3. Enter one of the codes mentioned above
4. Complete the sign-up process
5. If valid, the related starter credits or access activate automatically
Members also note that if a code is skipped during sign-up, it can usually be added later through the account or profile menu.
***
## 🟦 **How Members Use Starter Credits**
From group discussions, starter credits are typically used to:
* Explore game mechanics
* Join daily or weekly races
* Understand how Gold Coins and Shuffle Cash differ
* Test the platform’s interface and pacing
Because some codes offer **no-deposit access**, many members see them as a low-pressure way to explore features.
***
## 🟦 **Notes Shared Inside the Group**
A few neutral observations that come up regularly:
* Shuffle focuses on **activity-based participation**, not classic bonus structures
* Rewards are tied to events, races, and usage
* The interface is simple and beginner-friendly
* Progress feels community-driven rather than promotion-driven
As always, members remind each other to follow local regulations and personal limits when using online platforms.
***
## 🟧 **Final Thoughts**
**Why members in our community mention Shuffle:**
* Starter credits available without upfront payments
* Social-style events like daily and weekly races
* Simple structure with Gold Coins and Shuffle Cash
* Clean interface that’s easy to explore for newcomers
* Multiple entry codes discussed by the community (e.g. **HELLA**)
👉 **Overall:** Shuffle is usually discussed not as a bonus-driven platform, but as a social space where members explore features, compare experiences, and learn how activity-based systems work at their own pace.

Board Games in The Sun
Welcome to My Kind of Meeples.
Feel free to RSVP and come along for some board gaming delights.
We are moving back into our spiritual home of The Sun Of Camberwell!
After a few weeks sofa surfing at another venue we are back at The Sun Of Camberwell.
Please arrive from 6.30pm for chit chat and getting to know each other. If you are new, please introduce yourself to one of the hosts and they will look after you.
At 7pm we start our first game of picking games for the night. Those who have brought games along offer up what they have, with a brief introduction and an idea of difficulty level. People are then free to join any game that they like, and we will make sure everybody has a game to play. If it's a game you do not know, it will always be taught beforehand or there will be a quick refresher if you have played it before.
We play a lot of different sorts of games which last between 1 to 3 hours. We have a variety of games happening at once, and usually have at least one beginner-friendly game and one more advanced game running on any evening.
The evening normally lasts until closing time (approx 11pm) and depending on the game you play, you might get more than one game a night.
We do ask that, if you are able to, please purchase from the bar as the pub kindly accommodates us, so we like to give back.
We look forward to having you at our group.

Tuesday Tabletop Games at Premiere Cinemas
It's **Tuesday** & our main night of the week & the fun & games are just getting started here at DWL!
We're located here in the Cinema (which can be found on the 3rd floor of the Mercury Mall Shopping Centre) on:
* **Tuesdays & Thursdays**: From 17:30 to 22:00.
* **Saturdays**: From 12:00 to 22:00
🦁 And we're still running every Monday 6pm to 11pm at the Golden Lion Pub too.
🌭☕ There are hot & cold food & drink options available from the cinema at low prices!
Supporting Premiere Cinema by buying their food & drink IS supporting Dicing With Life! The cinema has been very generous to us by bringing us into their space & our way of showing our gratitude is by sending some business their way.
And their menu is surprisingly cheap! Especially compared to any other cinema.
Here's some cool examples of some great **offers**:
Buy a large **Popcorn** (it's a huge bucket!) or a large **fizzy drink** & it'll initially cost you £4, BUT, take your bucket or cup back to the bar for a **refill** & the cinema will refill it back up to the top for just £2! 🍿🥤
That's half price Popcorn & Pop!
This also applies to **Ice Blasts** too (£5 initially but to refill it's just £3).
There's also Hot Dogs, Nachos, Pick n Mix & many other treats in store too! Check out their menu 😋
If you have any questions, please ask & let the fun commence! 🎲

New Years Eve Gaming at the Bedford
Just in case you wanted a final gaming session before welcoming in the New Year, we have access to the room up until about 5pm. So if you would like to come and play a game or two, then you're more than welcome.
Welcome to the world of board gaming, if you’ve been before you know the score! If it’s your first time, please remember to read the description and rules, we don’t have many but there are some.
We are a group of people who like to play (or learn) modern board games. From the highly technical to the simplest of games, from the seasoned gamer to the first timer, all are welcome. We cater for nearly all modern games as per our rules. We would be delighted if you wanted to join us, please don't fret if there is a long waitlist, this tends to disappear a day or two before the event, sometimes even on the day, so keep an eye out. Come have a drink, meet like minded friendly people and let the battles commence.
If you have a game you would like to play, please mention it in the comments and see if others would like to join you. You can join one of the other games mentioned there already or even request that someone brings a game that you would really like to play. If you do bring a game, it would be great if you could teach it, but someone else might know it. If you don’t know the rules to any of the games being played, don’t worry too much, there are some great teachers here and they’ll let you know the rules to any game they’re playing.
It would be best if you could be here by the start time, but if you can’t you could always let people know and they might wait for you to arrive before playing. Otherwise, you might have to wait for people to finish playing before you can join in another game.
If you are new, please look for the person in the hi-vis jacket, or ask for one of the hosts, Rocky, James or Michele, we will make sure you get into a game that suits you and your gaming level.
Please abide by the rules and mostly, have fun!
London daytime testing at Waterloo
We playtest all sorts of games - strategic, silly, creative, or whatever. Some games are almost done. Some are very early ideas. We test anything that will fit into 90 minutes.
You don't need to bring a game - we always love to have new playtesters!
Please let us know in the comments when you plan to arrive/leave and whether you are bringing a game or not. This helps us to plan the day better.
The schedule is:
10am onwards - gathering, chatting
11am sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 1')
12:30ish - break for food/chat
1pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 2')
2:30ish - break for food/chat
3pm sharp - playing for 90 min ('slot 3')
4:30ish - finish up
Often, we might hang around afterwards, to play some already-published games.
We are strict on timings, so please try to arrive a few minutes before the session to limit disruption.
You can just come for part of the day if you wish. The reason we have fixed timings for the 3 'slots' is to make it easier for folk to do so.
Designers of all levels of experience are welcome! But if it's your first time, we ask that you don't bring a game and just spend some time learning how the group works.
The group works based on reciprocation. If you expect to test your own game, make sure stay for long enough to play other games. As a general rule of thumb, you can expect to play one of your own games every third 90-minute session. So if you stay a whole day (3 sessions), you can expect to have one session to play your game(s). A good rule of thumb is that if you come all day, you will have one 90 minute session with two other playtesters in which to test your own games. It is sometimes possible to test games with more players. If your game requires 4 or more, please note that as standard you will be allocated half of a session (45 minutes).
Pre-covid, we were getting unmanageable. As a result, we may have to limit attendees. This is a free-to-use venue, and we have to be mindful that other folk want to use the same space.
Please note: This is an adults only event.
We look forward to seeing you!

The Forge does have a full bar and kitchen. There is no cover charge but they do request all attendees to purchase a minimum of ~$20 per person. Soft drink refills are $1 each. Please support our hosts so we can continue to provide great events for the group!
The Forge has a large library of games available for us to enjoy. Hosts and regulars will also provide numerous popular games but please bring any games you would like to teach and/or play.
Doors open at 6, and we expect gaming to be rolling by around 630. Please promptly end your games and clear out the space at 10pm when the bar closes.
We encourage socializing but do not permit disruptive behavior of any kind. Thank you for your continued commitment to providing a fun and welcoming space to veteran, newbie, and rookie gamers in the Columbus area!
Parking can be challenging. There is a parking lot behind the building that is free and easy to walk from but it's a bit hidden.
