# Earning time credits for attending an event

Some events reward you with time credits when you are checked in.

Some events give you time credits for taking part. A time credit is the platform's unit of time: one credit is usually one hour.

Look for the label **Earn** followed by a number of **time credits for attending** on the event page.

## How it works

1. Press Going on the event.
2. Go to the event.
3. Get checked in by the event staff, for example with your check-in code.

The credits are added to your [wallet](/wallet) after you are checked in. The wallet entry says **Attendance reward** and the event name.

## Things to know

- Saying you are going is not enough. You must be checked in.
- You can only earn the reward once for each event.
- If you check yourself in to an event you run, you do not get the reward.
- The reward comes from the community. The organiser does not pay it.
- Your community may set a monthly limit on the total credits it gives for attendance. If that limit has been reached, your reward is not paid straight away. An administrator can pay it later.
- An administrator can take a reward back, for example if it was given by mistake. The credits are taken from your wallet, even if this takes your balance below zero. The wallet entry says Attendance reward reversed and the event name.
- Most events do not have a reward. Your community's administrators decide which events do, and how much.

This is switched off in most communities. If you do not see the label on any event, your community does not use it.
