## Pegged Value <a href="#pegged-value" id="pegged-value"></a>

Credits are a soulbound currency within Splinterlands and are always valued at 1000 Credits = $1.

## Non-transferable <a href="#non-transferable" id="non-transferable"></a>

Unlike Dark Energy Crystals or SplinterShards, **Credits cannot be transferred between players or accounts.** Your Credit balance can only be spent in Splinterlands or the Splinterlands' tower defense game Soulkeep, and Credits have no monetary value outside of their ability to purchase [packs](https://splinterlands.com/shop/packs), [cards](https://splinterlands.com/market/card-sales), and other items in the [shop](https://splinterlands.com/shop/packs), or cards/rentals via the [market](https://splinterlands.com/market/card-sales).

## **Referral Bonuses** <a href="#referral-bonuses" id="referral-bonuses"></a>

Splinterlands offers referral bonuses on qualifying purchases for accounts you referred to the game. If any account you referred buys a [core set pack](https://splinterlands.com/shop/packs) directly from the shop, [Legendary or Alchemy potions](https://splinterlands.com/shop/potions) or Spellbook with **Credits**, Splinterlands will give you a 5% affiliate payment.

All payouts from the Splinterlands affiliate system are paid out in Credits.

## **Purchasing Credits** <a href="#purchasing-credits" id="purchasing-credits"></a>

When paying with ERC-20 tokens, make sure that the wallet you are sending from is not an exchange wallet (Metamask is highly recommended) and that you have enough ETH in the wallet to cover gas fees, for which you, the purchaser, are responsible. Make sure you are familiar with [**THESE TERMS.**](https://docs.splinterlands.com/dec/splinterlands-credits/purchasing-credits-with-erc-20-coins)
