My Talking Tom, by Outfit7, is the virtual pet game that made the talking cat famous. Its economy runs on two currencies: Coins, earned by playing and caring for Tom, and Diamonds, the premium currency mostly meant for direct purchase (though it does have the occasional free avenue). This guide focuses on Coins, the resource you can actually farm without spending a cent, since it's what lets you buy food, clothes, furniture, and decoration for Tom's room in a sustainable way. Below you'll find the methods that genuinely work in the current version of the game: living-room minigames, care tasks (feeding, bathing, sleeping), daily missions, the video-reward wheel, and a couple of minor store tricks. No online generators or mods here: those websites promise infinite coins but are really after your data or fraudulent ad clicks, and they don't work in the official game. With daily consistency in these legitimate methods, you can keep a steady flow of Coins coming in to unlock content without paying.
What's the fastest way to get Coins in My Talking Tom?
We've gathered and verified every real method for getting free Coins, ranked from most to least profitable based on the time they take and what you can actually earn from each. No tricks, no generators — just the game's own mechanics.
Play the living-room minigames
This is the main source of Coins. My Talking Tom includes more than a dozen minigames accessible from the fun icon (Bubble Shooter, Piano Tiles, a Subway Surfers-style runner, 2048, etc.). Every completed game converts your score into Coins, so the better you play, the more you earn. Since they can be repeated with no daily limit, they're the method with the best time-to-reward ratio: spending 10-15 minutes rotating between 3-4 minigames usually earns more Coins than any other activity in the game.
Care for Tom (feed, bathe, put to sleep)
Every time you take Tom to the kitchen to eat, to the bathroom when he needs it, or to bed when he's tired, you get a small amount of Coins and experience. It's not the most profitable source per action, but it's free, steady, and requires no skill: just keep an eye on his hunger, hygiene, and energy indicators a few times a day. Keeping Tom happy (interacting with him, tickling him, talking to him) also adds small extra coins that add up over a session.
Reward wheel by watching ads
The game offers a prize wheel accessed by watching a rewarded video ad. The result is random (Coins, Diamonds, or an item), but since it's free and repeatable after a certain wait time, it's worth spinning whenever it's available. It's the only reliable way to also get loose Diamonds without paying, though you shouldn't count on it as your main source due to its random nature.
Missions and achievements
My Talking Tom hands out simple tasks (play X minigames, feed Tom a certain number of times, customize the room) that deliver a lump sum of Coins on completion. It's worth checking the missions or achievements panel as soon as you open the app to see which goals are active that day and steer your play session toward them, instead of playing aimlessly.
Free store offers
The in-game store occasionally shows a free-offer button that gives Coins in exchange for watching an ad, similar to the reward wheel but as a one-off promotion. It's not always available and its frequency depends on the version and region, so it's an extra to check for, not a source to build a strategy around.
Turn on push notifications
In some versions of the game, agreeing to receive push notifications (alerts that Tom misses you, care reminders) unlocks a small welcome Coin bonus. It's a minor one-time extra, but since it costs nothing, it's worth enabling when you install the game.
How much free Coins can you get per month?
| Source | Estimated amount |
|---|---|
| Minigames (several games a day) | Variable, the bulk of the monthly total |
| Caring for Tom (food, bath, sleep) | Small amounts that add up |
| Video reward wheel | Variable, sometimes also Diamonds |
| Missions and achievements | Fixed lump sums per completed mission |
| Free store offers | Variable, not always available |
| Estimated total | Not precisely quantifiable |
Outfit7 doesn't publish official figures for Coin performance, and the amount depends on your score in each minigame, the room's level, and how much time you devote each day, so any exact figure would be made up; what's reliable is that playing the minigames daily alongside basic care for Tom keeps a steady flow of Coins coming in.

Frequently asked questions
Are there free Coin or Diamond generators for My Talking Tom?
No. Every website and app promising unlimited Coins or Diamonds just by entering your username is a scam: they're not affiliated with Outfit7, they don't work, and their real goal is to steal personal data, sign you up for hidden paid services, or get you to install malware. The only way to get Coins is by playing inside the official app.
Can you get free Diamonds in My Talking Tom?
In very limited amounts. Diamonds are the premium currency and their main route is buying them with real money, but they can occasionally drop as a prize from the video reward wheel or a special mission. There's no legitimate method to farm them steadily the way you can with Coins.
Does the Coin system differ between My Talking Tom and My Talking Tom 2?
Yes, they're different games with separate economies. My Talking Tom (the original) uses Coins and Diamonds centered on decorating a single room, while My Talking Tom 2 adds a city map, more minigames, and its own Coin and Star progression. Tricks from one game don't carry over to the other.
