If you have logged into Monopoly GO today, 7 January 2026, you probably felt it straight away: the whole board looks different. There is this bright, slightly chaotic Hogwarts Racers theme running through everything, and it pulls you in before you even think about your dice count, a bit like when a new Monopoly Go Partners Event drops and everyone jumps in first then worries about strategy later. The race itself sits front and centre, and yeah, the rewards are actually worth chasing this time, with chunky dice bundles and sticker packs that can finally finish off pages you have been staring at for weeks.

Stacking Events For Real Value

Thing is, if you just blaze through the race track, you will probably end up broke on dice and a bit annoyed. The real edge today comes from lining the race up with the tournaments that sit in the background. Butterbeer Break is live until 9 January, and it is perfect for topping up cash and extra rolls while you hit the board anyway. Then you have the Tycoon Class tournament ending on the 8th, which is another chance to grab flags, tokens, whatever you need for Hogwarts Racers. You do not want to fire off big dice bursts with no tournament milestones ready; you want that same roll to push your racer forward and tick off a couple of prize tiers at the same time.

Using Daily Boosts Without Wasting Rolls

The daily boosts are where a lot of players either print value or throw it away. High Roller is the obvious bait: if you have a proper dice stash, it can be ridiculous, but only if you match it with something like Mega Heist or a juicy board layout. When those two line up, you can climb the leaderboard fast and scoop up event currency as a bonus. Rent Frenzy and Free Parking are popping in and out all day, and they look small on their own, but when Free Parking is paying out Hogwarts Racers tokens it suddenly matters a lot. Quick Wins sit in the corner and do not look exciting, yet hitting those simple tasks—upgrade a landmark, pass Go a few times—keeps a quiet flow of dice and cash that lets you stay in the game longer than the people who only chase the flashy stuff.

Timing Your Heavy Rolls

If you are planning to send big rolls, you want to do it in proper windows, not just whenever you are bored. Check the timer on your boosts, look at when Butterbeer Break cycles into nicer milestones, and see whether Tycoon Class is close to a big chest or dice reward. That is when you ramp up the multiplier and let it rip. It also pays to keep an eye on any Jackpot Stash style events running in the background, because they often trigger off the same actions you are already spamming for the race. When you sync all of that, every roll feels like it is doing two or three jobs at once instead of just throwing numbers at the track.

Staying In The Race All Day

The tricky part is not starting strong, it is not burning out by the evening. Pace your sessions: a quick set of low-multiplier laps to clear Quick Wins, a focused High Roller burst when the right boosts overlap, then a break before you tilt and dump the rest of your dice. You will notice that players who last through the whole Hogwarts Racers run are usually the ones who treat it like any other busy Monopoly Go Partners Event buy day, spreading their rolls, watching the timers, and accepting that you do not need to win every single race as long as you keep your stash healthy.
