💡 There are two types of boosters: the step booster (this article), which multiplies your Coins, and the XP booster, which multiplies your XP. For XP, see XP Booster - How does it work?
A step booster multiplies the Coins you earn for a limited time. Look for the booster icon ⚡ in the app!
What is a step booster?
A step booster is a multiplier that you activate whenever you want. While it is active, it multiplies the Coins you earn from some activities in the app. Depending on the booster, your Coins are multiplied by x2, x4 or x10. The multiplier and the duration are always shown on the booster before you activate it.
Which rewards are boosted?
Your daily steps reward (excluding step bonus)
Coins on the map
Coins from slot machines on the map (excluding jackpot)
How can I get a step booster?
Buy one in the Boosters section: as a booster pack paid with real money and, depending on your account, with Coins. Booster packs also give you crowns 👑. Learn more in Buying booster packs in Macadam. XP booster offers are listed right after the step booster offers, in the same section.
Booking cashback offer: book your stay through Macadam and receive boosters with your reservation.
Jackpot Express: land 3 booster symbols to win one. Learn more in Jackpot Express.
Map events and promotions: some rewards are boosters. Learn more in Map events.
🎁 Your boosters never expire. They stay in your inventory until you decide to activate them.
Where can I see my step boosters?
On the home screen, tap the booster icon ⚡ at the top of the screen.
Under My items, in the Step boosters section, you'll see all the step boosters you can activate. Your XP boosters are in the XP section.
Tap the clock icon to see your booster history: past boosters, their status and the Coins earned with each one.
How do I activate a step booster?
Tap Activate on the booster you want to use.
Your booster is active right away, for the duration shown (for example 1 day).
On the home screen, the booster icon shows the time left and the "Validate my steps" button shows your multiplier.
💡 Only one step booster can be active at a time. Your other step boosters wait in My items: you can activate the next one as soon as the current one ends. However, you can combine a step booster with an XP booster: each one multiplies its own currency.
When do I receive my bonus Coins?
While your booster is running, you can follow the bonus Coins you earn in the booster details. They are added to your balance when the booster ends. Unlike an XP booster, whose bonus XP is added immediately, bonus Coins from a step booster are added at the end.
ℹ️ Good to know: Booking boosters are the only boosters that need a validation. Their bonus Coins stay locked until Booking confirms your stay. Once it is confirmed, tap Claim to add them to your balance.
What are the statuses of a step booster?
Status | What it means |
Available | You can activate the booster. |
Active | The booster is running. |
Finished | The booster has ended and its bonus Coins have been added to your balance. |
Pending | Booking boosters only: the booster has ended and is waiting for Booking's confirmation. |
To claim | Booking boosters only: Booking confirmed your stay. Tap Claim to get your bonus Coins. |
Claimed | Booking boosters only: your bonus Coins have been added to your balance. |
Cancelled | The booking was cancelled or the purchase was refunded. The booster can't be used. |
Do I get notified?
Yes! You receive:
A notification when you get a booster
A banner while a booster is active, to follow your bonus Coins
A notification when your Booking bonus Coins are ready to claim
What happens if a step booster is cancelled?
A booster is cancelled when your Booking reservation is cancelled or rejected, or when a booster pack is refunded. A cancelled booster can't be used and its bonus Coins are not added to your balance. If a step booster pack is refunded, the Coins already earned with its boosters are removed from your balance. For an XP booster pack, the XP already earned is kept.
