Introduction
Starting on a new gaming platform raises the same questions every time. Which games should I try first? How does the rewards system work? When should I start playing multiplayer? What are the habits that experienced players develop that beginners do not know about?
This beginner’s roadmap for is7 answers all of those questions. It is written for players who have just downloaded the app or are thinking about doing so, and it covers the practical steps and strategic habits that will help you get the most out of the platform from your very first session rather than figuring things out by trial and error over several weeks.
Your First Session — What to Do
After downloading and registering, the first thing you see is the game library with recommendations based on the genres you selected during signup. Do not skip the genre selection — it directly affects the quality of your initial recommendations. If you are genuinely unsure what you like, select two or three broad categories and you can refine later.
In your first session, install two or three games rather than one. Variety helps you find what you actually enjoy rather than committing to the first thing you try. Play each for 15 to 20 minutes before forming an opinion — first impressions in games with any complexity can be misleading before you understand the mechanics.
Understanding the Rewards System
The rewards system has several layers that are worth understanding early. Platform-level rewards are earned across all games and include daily login bonuses, weekly mission rewards, and event participation credits. Game-specific rewards are earned within individual games through achievement milestones and level progression.
The daily login bonus is the simplest thing to collect and is worth doing every day even if you only have a few minutes. The bonus increases on consecutive days — a seven-day streak is worth significantly more than seven individual days without a streak. Build the habit of opening the app daily from your first week.
Daily Challenges — Priority One Each Session
Daily challenges should be the first thing you check every time you open the platform. They offer the best reward-per-time ratio of anything available — typically designed to take 15 to 30 minutes to complete and rewarding an amount that would take much longer to accumulate through regular unstructured gameplay.
Some daily challenges are game-specific; others can be completed across a range of titles. Where you have a choice, complete challenges in games you enjoy most — the challenge completion is more rewarding when the gameplay itself is enjoyable, and you are more likely to play well in games you have chosen voluntarily.
When to Start Playing Multiplayer
A common beginner mistake is avoiding multiplayer entirely or jumping into it before developing any skill. The right approach is somewhere between the two. Spend enough time in single-player or practice modes to understand a game’s core mechanics before entering multiplayer — you want to know the basic rules and controls before playing against people who know them well.
Once you have a basic grasp of a game’s mechanics, start with casual multiplayer rather than ranked competition. Casual matches are lower-stakes, do not affect your competitive rating, and are the best environment for practising against real opponents while still learning. Move to ranked play when you feel genuinely competitive in casual matches, not before.
Managing Your Game Library
It is tempting to install every game that looks interesting, but managing a large library is itself a task. Be selective — focus on two to four games at a time and develop genuine proficiency in them before expanding. The rewards from playing a small number of games well are better than spreading your time across many games without making meaningful progress in any of them.
Participating in Platform Events
The platform runs regular events — some tied to real-world occasions like festivals or cricket tournaments, others tied to specific game releases or platform milestones. Participating in these events is worth prioritising even if you do not expect to finish in the prizes. Events often offer unique rewards not available elsewhere and provide structured goals that make a limited gaming session feel particularly purposeful.
Connecting with Other Players
The social features — friend lists and community groups — become more valuable as you spend more time on the platform. Connecting with other players at a similar level creates a peer network that makes multiplayer more personal and tournaments more motivating. Most players find that the community aspect of the platform becomes one of the main reasons they keep coming back.
Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
Spending currency on short-term convenience items rather than saving for meaningful unlocks is the most common early mistake. Understand what the best uses of your accumulated currency are before spending any of it. Skipping tutorials is another — even games that seem familiar often have unique mechanics that tutorials explain clearly and that are much less obvious when discovered through painful trial and error.
Building a Consistent Routine
The players who make the most consistent progress on the platform are those who engage regularly rather than in occasional long bursts. Twenty minutes a day — collecting your daily bonus, completing a challenge, playing a quick multiplayer match — accumulates rewards and develops skills faster than a three-hour session once a week. Consistency is the habit that most distinguishes experienced players from casual ones.
Conclusion
Starting well on is7 is about making smart early choices — which games to try, how to prioritise challenges, when to enter multiplayer, and how to build consistency into your gaming routine. Follow the roadmap in this article and your first month on the platform will establish habits and progress that make every subsequent month better. The gaming community is waiting — get started today.
