Redeem every active promo string on day one — then spend Rerolls with chemistry, not panic.

New Player Codes Checklist

If you just installed Build A Basketball Team on Roblox, do not start drafting until you empty the Codes panel. Early Beta from Bloxive Studios still hands out large free Rerolls and Refreshes through promo strings, and missing the day-one claim is the fastest way to stall below 90 OVR. This checklist is the shortest path from lobby load to a funded first squad.

As of August 1, 2026, independent lists on Destructoid, NerdSchalk, and AllThings.How still match the same four active codes. The full always-current table lives on the Codes hub.

Day-one redeem order (copy this)

Open the Codes button on the right side of the lobby, then redeem in this order so you notice the big Reroll jump first:

Do not redeem 300k. It is expired as of July 31, 2026 — see Expired Codes.

Five-minute new-player loop

  1. Launch Build A Basketball Team (Place ID 81203922196101).
  2. Wait for the lobby — not a mid-draft overlay.
  3. Redeem all four active codes on your main account.
  4. Open the Quests tab and claim anything already complete (Quests).
  5. Read Getting Started before you burn Rerolls.
  6. Fill every starting slot with natural position matches (Chemistry).
  7. Only then spend Rerolls on your weakest correct-role gap.

How to spend the new-player pile

600k alone dumps 50 Rerolls. New accounts waste that stack by chasing shiny MVP badges off-role. Better plan:

  • First squad: Fill five slots with chemistry-clean cards, even if OVR looks “average.”
  • Second pass: Reroll the weakest natural-position mismatch.
  • Refresh later: Use Refreshes from 600k + Update when the team/year pool feels stale — Draft Pool and Rerolls vs Refreshes.
  • Stop rule: End the session when team OVR stops rising after two swaps — Common Mistakes.

Where the next codes will appear

Milestone strings like 600k / 300k usually follow visit or community thresholds. Watch:

Redeem first, draft second. That single habit separates new players who reach chemistry-stable lineups from accounts that burn 600k on vanity pulls.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common questions.

Which Build A Basketball Team codes should a new player redeem first?

As of August 1, 2026 redeem 600k, thx, tuff, and Update from the lobby Codes button on the right. Skip 300k — it is expired.

Should I redeem codes on an alt account?

No. Codes are typically one-time per Roblox profile. Claim on the account you will keep.

Do I spend all 50 Rerolls from 600k immediately?

Redeem immediately, but spend after filling a chemistry-clean five. Panic rerolls waste the largest free grant.

Where is the Codes button for new players?

On the right side of the lobby screen. If you cannot see it on mobile, rotate to landscape or see the Mobile Tips guide.
