Frequently asked questions
Plain-language answers about how Dingcade works and what its virtual items can—and cannot—do.
What is Dingcade?
Dingcade is EFANCY LLC's browser-based 3D peg-drop arcade game. Players launch marbles, follow visible landings, complete progression goals, and collect presentation items.
Is Dingcade free to play?
No purchase is necessary to play or earn Tickets. Recurring free Arcade Tokens have displayed limits and cooldowns, and use the same Machine rules as purchased Tokens.
What are Arcade Tokens?
Arcade Tokens are non-transferable virtual game credits. They have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash.
Do purchases change Machine results?
No. Purchases may provide virtual items or Tokens, but do not change Machine rules or outcome probabilities.
How is a physical drop result handled?
The server arms the round. The browser presents the visible marble path and reports its landing; the server validates, records, and settles the result.
Can the browser award itself Tokens?
No. Balance changes and reward decisions use Dingcade's server settlement path.
What is the difference between a Machine and a cabinet cosmetic?
A Machine defines gameplay rules. Cosmetics change presentation only and do not unlock or alter Machine rules.
Which Machines are available?
The live in-game picker is authoritative. It shows player-ready Machines and hides work in progress.
Can Dingcade be played on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Dingcade is responsive and installable as a PWA. A lighter 2D fallback can appear when supported devices cannot run 3D reliably.
Is an account required?
An account is required for the main game so balances, settlement, progress, cosmetics, and eligibility remain attached to the correct player.
Can virtual items be cashed out?
No. Tokens, Tickets, cosmetics, and other virtual items cannot be redeemed for cash, physical goods, gift cards, or store credit.
Who is eligible to use Dingcade?
Dingcade is for users aged 18 or older who may legally use the service where they live. The Terms of Service control eligibility.
