When the FairWin platform is launched, all games will be available free of charge in the Rinkeby test network. So, here I am publishing a small guide for beginners about the simplest ways to get some test ETH.

What is a test network?

If you enter your account in Metamask, you will have a possibility to choose one of the several test networks: Kovan, Rinkeby and Ropsten. Any one of them lets you create a wallet and receive test coins.

Ropsten

It was the first to be launched in November, 2016, the closest one to the real Ethereum network and it uses the Proof-of-Work protocol. The name for the network was given by a subway station in Stockholm.

Its advantage is that it is very similar to the real network. Test tokens can be received by mining and also by means of faucets. You can instantly receive test Ether here. Simply insert you wallet address in the field and in a second there will be 1 Ether.
