Moon.com Play Money: The Smart Way to Start
Short version: Moon's play-money mode gives you a $100,000 simulated balance you can refill without limit. Same markets, same leverage, same risk tools. Switch it on from the main menu dropdown. Use it to learn how fast high leverage moves, not to "prove" a strategy.
How to turn it on
Open the main menu dropdown on Moon and flip the Play Money toggle. Your account switches to the simulated balance and every bet uses play money until you switch back. Run out? Top up to $100,000 again, as many times as you want.

1. Watch a 1000x bet live
Open a small bet at 1000x on Bitcoin and just watch. The max loss price sits 0.1% from your entry. See how long it lasts. Most people are surprised.
2. Same bet, three leverages
Open the same direction at 10x, 100x and 500x. Compare how each one's profit and loss moves on the same price action. That's leverage made visible.
3. Use Auto Loss
Set an Auto Loss so the bet closes before it hits max loss. Learn how it behaves on a fast candle. It's the most underused tool on the platform.
4. Try a stock outside market hours
Moon prices stocks 24/7 using extended-hours data. Bet on a stock in the evening and watch how it moves compared to crypto. Our stocks guide explains why it's different.
5. Check the fees on a winner
Close a play-money bet in profit and compare the gross move to what you got. That gap is the performance fee. More in Moon.com fees explained.
What play money can't teach you
How it feels to lose real money. Play money makes it easy to keep clicking "refill". Before switching to real funds, decide your total budget and your per-bet size in advance. Our guide to bet sizing has a simple framework.
A note on RNG coins
Moon also lists simulated markets called RNG coins (such as ORBT and TITN). Their prices tick every 250 milliseconds from a cryptographic seed fixed before each week starts and published afterwards, so anyone can verify the price path wasn't changed. They're not real assets, which is worth knowing before you bet on them with real money.
