Although McDonald's holds its Monopoly Game regularly in many countries, it's been a few years since they have offered it in the United States. They did not respond to a request for more information about when and if they are planning on running a U.S. version again. This page will be updated with new information when it is available.

The information below is for the 2022 McDonald's Monopoly game in the United Kingdom.

How to Get Free McDonald's Monopoly Game Codes

Most of the McDonald's UK Monopoly 2022 game pieces are only available with purchase. However, the rules state that McDonald's may offer "Complimentary Digital Peel" game pieces for the instant win game. These free game pieces are offered at McDonald's discretion, so there's no guarantee you'll receive any.

These free game pieces are offered through the "My McDonald’s Rewards" section of the McDonald’s App, so be sure to download and use the app if you want a chance to receive them.

Selling or Trading Game Pieces

If you're thinking about saving money by buying game pieces from other people, be aware that McDonald's Monopoly's rules specifically prohibit game piece trading. If you do it anyway and you win, you could be disqualified, cheating yourself out of a prize.

It's also worth asking yourself why someone would sell a game piece that is a potential winner. The most obvious reason is that the seller is running a game piece trading scam, where an unscrupulous person tries to cheat others out of their prizes or their money. Trying to buy game pieces could expose you to these scams.

If you have a rare piece, you've all but won the prize. If you have a common piece, they're a dime a dozen. Either way, don't be tempted to "team up" with anyone else to share prizes. It's better in the long run to use the official methods of getting Monopoly game pieces: by mail or with purchase.
