Clash Royale Gems in short: Gems are the premium currency of Clash Royale, Supercell's real-time card battle game. They are spent in the in-game shop, for example on chests, gold and Pass Royale. Supercell's terms say virtual items may only be bought from Supercell or its authorised partners through the game, so every other route carries a trade-off you should understand first.
Clash Royale is free to download, and nothing in it has to be bought. Gems are the optional extra, and they are also the part of the game where players run into confusing offers, look-alike websites and account problems. This guide explains what Gems and Pass Royale are, what Supercell ID does, how Supercell itself wants purchases made, what Supercell says about outside sellers, and, because we sell ID top-ups for Clash Royale, exactly what that service involves and where it sits against Supercell's rules. We link Supercell's own pages for every rule we describe, and we say plainly where we could not confirm something.

What are Clash Royale Gems?
Clash Royale is Supercell's card-battle game: you collect cards, build a deck and try to take down your opponent's towers. Supercell's game page describes it as a real-time multiplayer game starring the Clash characters, where you collect and upgrade cards and win rewards in competitive arenas.
Gems are the premium currency. Our catalogue notes that Gems buy chests, gold, Pass Royale and shop offers. We have not verified a current exchange rate between Gems and any of those items, and Supercell changes shop contents often, so treat the shop screen in your own game as the only reliable list of what Gems cost right now.
Do you need to buy Gems?
No. Supercell's guidance for parents says that in-app purchases are never required to play the game and are there to enhance certain gameplay elements. That framing helps when deciding how much to spend, and it helps parents most of all.
Where do Gems come from?
There are two broad groups of sources: playing, and paying.
Gems you can earn
We have not verified from Supercell's pages which in-game rewards, if any, include Gems, how many, or how often, and these things change with seasons and updates. If you only want a few Gems, look at the reward screens in your own game before you pay for anything.
Gems you buy
Gems are sold in packs in the game's shop. That is the standard route on a phone, and it is paid through the app store of your device. Supercell also runs its own web shop, the Supercell Store, which has a separate page for Clash Royale and requires you to log in with Supercell ID before you can buy anything. Supercell's parent guidance adds that the store will not let you buy unless a payment method is attached.
Two official routes, one rule. Whichever you choose, the purchase happens inside Supercell's own game or Supercell's own store. The Terms of Service say you may buy virtual items from Supercell or its authorised partners through the service, and not in any other way.
Pass Royale: the season pass
Pass Royale is the game's paid season pass. In a 2020 update post, Supercell described a seasonal pass with 35 reward tiers earned through crowns, plus perks such as unlimited special challenge entries, automatic chest unlocking, a golden name colour, and a bonus gold vault. Those details are from an older Supercell post, and the exact perks and tier counts have probably been adjusted since, so check the pass screen in the game before buying.
What does not change much is how it is bought. Supercell's post says you open the game, tap Pass Royale at the top of the screen or in the shop, and buy it there. The pass runs for one season, which means it is a recurring cost if you want it every month. Our catalogue lists Pass Royale among the things Gems can buy, but whether you buy it with Gems or directly with real money depends on what the shop offers in your game at that moment.
Is Pass Royale worth it?
That depends on how much you play. The pass rewards steady play across the whole season, and the perks are most useful for people who battle every day. If you play now and then, the free reward track probably gives you most of what you will use. We do not recommend spending beyond what you would happily spend on a game you enjoy.
Supercell ID and your account
Supercell ID is the service that keeps your progress safe. Supercell describes it as a way to save your progress across all Supercell games to one ID and open them from any device on iOS or Android. It lets you play the same game on several devices, recover progress on a new phone, and switch between several accounts on one device. Registration happens inside any Supercell game and needs a working email address.
There is no password to remember. You sign in with your email and, when asked, a verification code sent to that email. That matters for two reasons. First, the Supercell Store uses the same sign-in. Second, anyone who can see both your email and that code can log in as you, so the code is the part to protect.
Treat the emailed code like a key. Only enter it in the Clash Royale app, the Supercell Store, or a page you chose to use and understand. Supercell's account guidance warns that giving private login information to third parties puts your game and your wider online security at risk.
Save your account first
Before you buy anything, make sure your game is saved to a Supercell ID with an email you control. If something goes wrong with a phone or a purchase, that email is what gets you back in, and it is also the only identity the Supercell Store knows you by.
Region, store and currency
We could not confirm from Supercell's own pages how Gem pack sizes and prices differ by country, or whether a pack bought in one country behaves differently on an account created in another. So we do not give a country-by-country answer. What we can say is practical.
- The price you see is set by the store you buy in. The in-game shop and the Supercell Store each show their own price at checkout. Compare them before paying.
- The account is what receives the Gems. In every route the Gems land on the Supercell ID or game account that is signed in, so check the account name or player tag before you confirm.
- On The Nexus, Clash Royale is listed as a worldwide product with a single Global region, and you see the final price before you pay.
Buying Gems from a third-party store: what Supercell says
This is the part most guides leave out, so we will be direct about it. Supercell's Terms of Service state that you may only buy virtual items from Supercell or its authorised partners through the service. The same terms prohibit buying, selling, renting or giving away an account and prohibit letting others use your login details. Supercell's Safe and Fair Play page goes further. It describes websites that sell currency more cheaply and ask for private login data, and says such vendors can take over an account and sometimes resell it.
On enforcement, a Supercell fair play post for Clash Royale says that accounts involved in fraudulent Gem purchases or account sharing can lose currency, be suspended, or be closed permanently, and that Supercell reserves the right to ban accounts that have been transferred between players. That post dates from 2019, but the Terms of Service we read today say the same thing in general terms.
What that means for you. We cannot tell you that any outside route is free of risk to your account, and we are not going to try. The Nexus is an independent store. We are not Supercell, and we do not claim to be a Supercell-operated store. If you want zero distance between you and Supercell's rules, buy in the game or at the Supercell Store.
What an ID top-up actually involves
Our Clash Royale product is a login top-up, not a code. We are describing it plainly because it is the part Supercell's pages warn about. After you pay, our team adds the Gems or pass to your account by signing in with your Supercell ID. Because Supercell ID has no password, you give us the player tag and the email address your Supercell ID uses, and Supercell sends a verification code to that email when we sign in. Our order page then asks you to type that code. We never ask for a game password, because none exists, and the code goes into your private order page rather than a chat message.
You should still understand the trade-off in full. Someone other than you signs in to your account for a short period, which is exactly the kind of access Supercell's terms say not to allow. Whether Supercell acts on a given purchase is up to Supercell. We cannot promise it never will.
How an ID top-up works on The Nexus, step by step
If you have read the section above and still want to go ahead, this is the process.
- Open the Clash Royale page and choose a package. The final price is shown before you pay.
- Find your player tag in the game, under your name on your profile. It starts with a #.
- Pay with one of the methods shown at checkout. In Egypt these include Vodafone Cash and InstaPay.
- On your private order page, enter the player tag and the email your Supercell ID uses.
- When Supercell emails you a verification code, enter it on the order page. The code expires, so keep your email open.
- Wait for the order to be marked delivered, then open the game and check your Gems.
Some orders are delivered manually by our team and can take longer than others, so we do not give a delivery time. If your details are wrong, tell us in the order chat before anything is delivered.
Check the tag twice. A top-up delivered to the details you confirmed is normally not refundable if the mistake was in what you entered. Read our refund policy before paying; it also lists when a replacement or refund may be available.
Ways to get Gems compared
| Route | Who sells it | What you give | Supercell's rules | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In-game shop | Supercell, through your device's app store | Your device store payment | Official route | The simplest option on a phone; protect your store password |
| Supercell Store | Supercell | Supercell ID login and a payment method | Official route | Needs a payment method attached; the prices are shown at checkout |
| Earning in the game | Supercell | Your time | Official route | Depends on what your game rewards; no payment and no outside access |
| ID top-up on The Nexus | The Nexus, an independent store | Player tag, Supercell ID email and an emailed code | Outside the routes the Terms of Service describe | Local payment methods; a team member signs in to your account briefly; account action by Supercell is possible |
| Random websites and social media sellers | Unknown | Often login details | Warned against by Supercell | Supercell describes account takeovers and resale; avoid |
Parents and spending limits
A lot of Clash Royale players are young, so the spending side deserves its own section. Supercell's parents page suggests two layers of control.
- On the device. You can turn off in-app purchases entirely in Apple or Google settings, and keep payment details off a child's device. If you add a card temporarily, change the password protection afterwards.
- In the account. The Supercell Store requires a Supercell ID login and will not buy without payment information. If a parent creates the Supercell ID for a child, they can manage the child's access to the store.
The Terms of Service add one point worth reading as a parent: users must be of legal age where they live, otherwise a legal guardian must agree to the terms, and the account holder is responsible for unauthorised use by minors. In practice that means a child's Gem spending is the parent's responsibility, so agree a budget before the first purchase.
A simple rule for families. Decide a monthly budget, keep the Supercell ID email in a parent's inbox, and look at the purchase history in the device store from time to time.
Scams and look-alike offers
Free-Gems generators, comment-section links and "login to claim" pages all work the same way: they want your Supercell ID email and code, or your store password. Supercell does not run any of them. The Safe and Fair Play page is clear that handing credentials to a third party puts your game and your financial and online security at risk.
- Buy where you can see who is selling. The game shop and the Supercell Store are Supercell's own channels.
- Do not share a verification code with anyone who contacted you first. A real support agent does not need it.
- Never buy or sell an account. Supercell's terms prohibit it and its fair play page lists the ways it goes wrong.
- Be wary of a price far below the shop. Supercell says cheaper currency sites are the ones asking for your login data.
- Keep your Supercell ID email secure with a strong, unique password on the email account itself.
How we keep this guide accurate
Every rule in this guide about Supercell's terms, Supercell ID, the Supercell Store, parental guidance and fair play comes from Supercell's own pages, linked in the text and listed in the sources, and was checked on 5 October 2026. Some of those pages are older posts, and we say so where it matters. Supercell's support portal could not be read by our tools when we checked, so we do not quote its refund rules; the Terms of Service and the pages above are what we relied on. We do not quote Gem prices or pack sizes because they differ by store and change over time; the live options and the final price are on our Clash Royale page. If you spot something out of date, use the correction link at the end of the article.

How does a Clash Royale ID top-up on The Nexus work?
You pay, then give your player tag and Supercell ID email on your private order page. Our team signs in, Supercell emails you a verification code, and you enter it on the order page. We never ask for a game password.
How long does delivery take?
We do not promise a delivery time. Some orders are delivered manually by our team and take longer than others, and the order page shows the current status. Keep your email open, because the verification code expires.

Do I have to buy Gems to play Clash Royale?
No. The game is free to download and play, and Supercell's guidance for parents says purchases are never required. Gems are an optional extra, so set a budget first, especially for children.
