Those numbers show how invested players are, and even if profit during lockdowns and quarantines was way higher, it does not change the fact that Moon Active is still making quite a lot of money.

2020 took a turn for Coin Master and a positive one at that. The game even got past games like Roblox and PubG, ranking pretty well in that top 10. All in all, just being part of it is already a feat since there are hundreds of apps out there. It is quite a surprise that it was not part of the top 10 Most Downloaded Games – worldwide. The game is still as popular financially in Germany and the UK, while it is waning in the US (but it is still doing well).

Coin Master usage stats

Time to take a closer look at how the community consumes the game: it is not only about the countries most in love with the game (read: with the most installs), but we will also explore the social media presence of Moon Active’s baby.

The United States ranks first as the country with the most installs of Coin Master at 39.5 million installs (20.3%).

• India comes at second place with 30.7 million downloads (15.8%) and Brazil is #3 with 20.2 million installs (10.4%).
• In 2019 though, India was #1 with 26 million installs (32.1%). The US was second with 18.6 million (22.9%) and making up 10.6% of the grand total with its 8.6 million downloads, the UK ranked third.

We find a more typical ranking once the monetary aspect is taken out, and we only consider the number of downloads. One with India, Brazil, and the United States is seizing the top spots for themselves. The United Kingdom got quickly sidelined by Brazil, even if the UK stays a big spender nowadays compared to Brazil.

Coin Master is popular on social media, but most of all on Facebook with 19.9 million people liking their page.

• Coin Master is also known for featuring high-profile celebrities endorsing their game in funny Youtube ads.
• The official Instagram account boasts 7.6 million followers.

One thing Coin Master does well is engaging through social media. Their community manager knows their job as all platforms are frequently updated. The content pushes players to engage with other players and the game itself (even if indirectly). Several mini-games offering the chance for more spins/coins/pet food/exp are posted during the day, and those are pretty easy, which means that there is no favoritism and the game is allowing all players. Even if their Youtube seems to be a bit left behind, the videos are highly entertaining, with many ads for mini-skits featuring real people.

Coin Master is not that popular on Twitch, being ranked at #9239.

• Over 7 days: the average number of viewers is 1, the average number of channels streaming the game is 1, the average number of viewers/channel is 1 and the average number of hours watched is 13.
• The peak number of viewers is 3,142 in November 2020 and the peak number of channels is 3 in October 2020.
• The game is not streamed by more channels during the weekend, so obviously there is a loss that amounts to 5% fewer viewers.

It is surprising to find Coin Master registered on Twitch, even if its specs are terrible. Naturally, the game is not made for streaming as it may prove to be exciting for the player, but certainly not for viewers who are just going to end up mostly watching some wheels spinning. But now, you know that you can stream yourself raiding your neighbors.

Most Coin Master players are female at 69%.

• Men represent 31% of the total percentage.
• For both genders, the game is most popular with people in their 40s: 30% of women and 11% of men.

One thing that has been noticed with casual mobile games is that they are extremely popular with the female audience. They are usually pretty easy to understand, relaxing to play, and possess straightforward mechanics. Even with the extra features, Coin Master is mostly all about spinning a wheel. We can then understand why the most active players are mature women. In general, the fanbase is on the adult side, which goes well with the age rating. Because the game features gambling mechanics and involves spending real money, it could not have been targeted toward children. And parents who allow their kids to play the game are advised to keep an eye on them.

iOS or Android?

Coin Master is a mobile-only game that makes it easier to pinpoint where it creates more waves and where players are more invested. It was also a great idea to stay on mobile devices, considering the nature of the game and its mechanics (such as your spins getting replenished after an hour or so).

Coin Master is ranked #1 in Top Grossing Games of the Google Play Store in the US.

• The game has a rating of 4.5 and 4.7 million of them are 5-star ratings.
• In October 2021, it was downloaded 3 million times worldwide.
• In Brazil: Coin Master is ranked #1 in Top Grossing Games.
• In India: Coin Master is ranked #5 in Top Grossing Games.
• Coin Master received 6,405,315 reviews on Google play.

Since we already know how the game is doing in Germany and the UK, it is also interesting to see how it is received on the charts in Brazil and India, the two countries right after the US in terms of downloads. Not so surprisingly, the game also opens wallets left and right over there. Android users are then again the majority regarding which platform has seen the most downloads. Even if it does not rank that well in Top Free Games, the game is still being downloaded, saying something.

Coin Master is ranked #4 in Top Grossing Games of the iPhone App Store in the US.

• The game received a rating of 4.7 and 340,000 of them were 5-star ratings. The game is also ranked #4 in the Adventure Games category.
• In October 2021, it was downloaded 500,000 times worldwide.
• In France: Coin Master is ranked #1 in Top Grossing Games (iPhone). On iPad, it ranked #9.
• In Canada: Coin Master is ranked #2 in Top Grossing Games (iPhone). On iPad, in the same categories, it ranked #33, respectively.

The gap between Android and Apple users is always a bit drastic, and Coin Master is no exception. However, one thing that stays the same is how the game dominates the most grossing charts except maybe on iPad, where the game does not have a big audience in Canada and the US. Also, thanks to Sensor Tower, we pinpointed that on iOS, right after the US, France and Canada were the countries accumulating the most downloads. Unfortunately, even if China is only using iOS due to Google’s restrictions, data from there is not available.

To sum up

Coin Master did not seem like much when it entered the scene, but it quickly created a new trend and revitalized a genre in the mobile game industry that was already existing but had no visibility. In 2020, Coin Master represented 93.3% of the total revenue generated within the category of Social Casino. And nowadays, it still occupies a spot way higher than any other game from the same genre. Its success gave rise to so many copycats that you might download the wrong game if you aren’t careful on the App Store or Google Play, thinking it to be Coin Master.

The game has reinvented the genre by adding multiple exciting features that bring diversity to the gameplay and even adding a social dimension by involving other players. It is not just about spinning some wheels waiting for shapes to match each other. The only downside would be the intense gambling that goes hand in hand with the game and might trigger some addiction and compulsive gambling behaviors. Other than that, as long as people are responsible and do not spend more than needed, everything is well. Most players are adults enjoying financial freedom after all.
