Mingo Sparks
Mingo Sparks are the Arena's reward points. They can only be earned by playing — never bought — and they are spent on your avatar's look in the Style Lab.

Friends on Pass & Play play for fun; only the phone owner earns Sparks.
The daily limit: 60 Sparks
You can earn at most 60 new Sparks a day, from everything above added together.
- Every award checks how many Sparks you have already earned today.
- If the award would go over 60, you get only what is left; the rest is not saved for later.
- When you reach 60, the game says: "Today's Sparks are all earned. Great playing!"
- The day resets at midnight UTC (1:00 am Lagos time).
A bonus such as a ladder step or gift box is paid only once, even if the daily limit made it smaller.
Two numbers: balance and lifetime
| Number | Goes up when | Goes down when |
|---|---|---|
| Balance | You earn Sparks | You buy something in the Style Lab |
| Lifetime earned | You earn Sparks | Never |
Your lifetime total decides your style rank (Beginner, Stylish, Iconic). Spending never lowers your rank. See Avatar and Style Lab.
