Where to Find Your UID in 30 Seconds
Legit UID top-ups need only one thing: your Unique ID. No Facebook password. No email login. Just the number string tied to your profile.
Here is where it lives:
- Open 8 Ball Pool and tap your profile avatar (top left on most screens).
- Look for your profile card — the UID is the long number string under your name and avatar. On some versions it shows as "Unique ID" or just "ID".
- Tap to copy it. If tap-to-copy doesn't work, write it down digit by digit. One wrong digit and the currency goes elsewhere.
Save it once — you'll reuse it every time. I keep a screenshot in a locked note.
Common slip-ups: confusing UID with a Facebook ID, or copying a club ID. If the number is short (5-6 digits) you grabbed the wrong one. Your player UID is longer.
Recharge via UID: The 2-Minute Step-by-Step
The UID flow is the same for Pool Cash, Pool Coins, or bundles — here's the sequence I use.
Step 1 — Copy your UID. Get it from your in-game profile as above. Double-check it.
Step 2 — Pick your pack. Head to the storefront and choose the Pool Cash or Pool Coins pack you want. If you are after a specific cue or crate, pick the bundle that lists it. For a quick, safe check, I usually recharge Pool Cash on VGToPUP because the UID field is right at the top and you see the total before you confirm.
Step 3 — Paste UID and confirm. Paste your UID, select quantity if needed, and confirm the game region/account matches. No login screen should appear. If a site asks for your Miniclip or Facebook password at this stage, close it.
Step 4 — Choose your rail and pay. Pick the payment method that matches your country (more on that below), complete the payment in your bank or wallet app, and wait for confirmation.
Step 5 — Verify in game. Reopen 8 Ball Pool, check your Pool Cash / Pool Coins balance at the top. If it doesn't show instantly, restart the app once. Currency is tied to UID, so it lands directly — you don't need to claim it from an inbox.
A note on VIP: If your account has a VIP bonus above bronze, the game applies a multiplier on top of the base pack. Store pages usually show base amount only, so your in-game total can be higher than the label.
BLIK vs Trustly vs Paysafecard vs Multibanco vs EPS vs MyBank — Which Rail Wins?
European checkout is not one-size-fits-all. The right rail depends on where you live and whether you want speed, privacy, or no card.
This is what checkout may show in your market — availability differs by country and by pack, so treat it as expected options, not a promise for every transaction. For bank rails, Trustly reports linking over 3,000 banks across Europe, with up to 98.8% conversion on gaming deposits and 99.95% uptime — Trustly's numbers, not the store's.
| Payment Rail |
Where It Shines |
How You Pay |
My Take |
| BLIK (Poland) |
Poland — instant from your banking app |
Confirm with 6-digit BLIK code in your bank app |
My first pick if you are in Poland. Fast, no card needed. |
| Trustly |
Pan-Europe bank payments |
Log into your bank via Trustly (3,000+ banks, 98.8% conversion, 99.95% uptime per Trustly) |
Best for large or frequent top-ups. Direct bank, no wallet top-up step. |
| Paysafecard |
Privacy, no bank needed |
16-digit prepaid code or myPaysafe balance |
Good if you don't want to link a bank. Watch for voucher fees. |
| Multibanco (Portugal) |
Portugal — pay via reference |
Reference entity + number, then pay in app or ATM |
Familiar for Portuguese players. Not instant until you confirm in banking app. |
| EPS (Austria) |
Austria — local bank transfer |
Redirect to your Austrian bank (Erste, Raiffeisen, etc.) |
Feels like a normal online bank payment. Solid alternative to cards. |
| MyBank (Italy) |
Italy — local bank transfer |
Redirect to your Italian bank via MyBank |
Same idea as EPS, but for Italian banks. Clean if you avoid cards. |
| Visa / Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Bank Transfer, Binance Pay |
Anywhere fallback |
Card or wallet or crypto pay |
Use when local rail is down. Cards are fast; bank transfer can lag. |
Takeaway: In Poland, BLIK is my first pick — fast, no card needed. For large or frequent cross-border top-ups, Trustly covers 3,000+ banks with 98.8% conversion and 99.95% uptime per Trustly. Paysafecard is the privacy option, but watch for voucher fees. Portugal, Austria and Italy: use Multibanco, EPS or MyBank first, keep Visa/Mastercard or Apple Pay as backup.
For exact pack prices and any fees for your country, check the live checkout total before you pay. Prices shift by region and pack. If you want to compare live totals right now, check the 8 Ball Pool top up with your UID and select your country at checkout to see what appears for you.
Across the wider market you'll see two pricing patterns:
| Store Type |
Observed Offer In The Wild |
What It Means For You |
| Official UID storefronts |
Up to 35% off advertised on some packs |
UID-only flow, no login needed. The discount is what that store advertises, not a guarantee elsewhere. |
| Peer-to-peer marketplaces |
Listings up to 30% cheaper than rivals |
Often adds gateway fees at checkout and may need seller chat for delivery. |
Takeaway: Those 35% and 30% figures are what I have seen advertised across the wider market — they are not vgtopup's promise. Use them as context. For vgtopup, look at the total shown at checkout for your UID and rail; that total is the only number that matters.
What Should You Buy? A Tiered Take for Every Budget
Buy for your goal, not the biggest bundle. Here's how I split it.
F2P / Light — under €10: Buy Pool Coins only if you keep hitting entry-fee walls. One small Coins pack to keep grinding beats a tiny Cash pack that won't buy a cue. Skip crates here. Save Cash for a cue that actually changes stats.
Mid — €10 to €50: The sweet spot for value. One medium Pool Cash pack beats three small ones, and you can grab a cue upgrade plus a couple of boxes. If your account has a VIP bonus above bronze, the game adds a multiplier — your effective Cash can be higher than the label, so you may hit your goal one tier lower.
Heavy — €50+ or pushing legendary cues: You're buying Cash in bulk and hunting crates. Prioritize Cash bundles that include Legendary boxes or spins over pure Coin packs. For larger totals, compare the final checkout total — bank rails like Trustly or local EPS/MyBank/BLIK often show lower gateway fees than cards, but your total is what matters. Keep a Coin cushion so you're not forced to convert Cash to Coins at a bad rate.
If you're unsure, start mid and test delivery speed with your preferred rail before you go heavy. One successful small recharge tells you more than any review.
Legit Request vs Scam Request: Stay Safe
A legitimate UID top-up asks for only three things:
- Your 8 Ball Pool UID (the long number from your profile)
- Your chosen pack (Pool Cash / Pool Coins / bundle)
- Payment via the checkout rail you select — BLIK code, Trustly bank login, Paysafecard code, Multibanco reference, EPS/MyBank redirect, or card/wallet
A scam asks for:
- Your Miniclip, Facebook, Google or Apple password
- A verification code sent to your email or phone to "link" your account
- Remote access, APK installs, or "admin" access to credit your account
- Payment outside checkout via direct transfer to a person
No real UID recharge needs your password. Ever. If you see a login form that looks like Facebook or Miniclip inside a store page, stop. Most reputable stores show the total before you pay, including any gateway fee, so you can cancel if the final number looks wrong. If the total jumps at the last step without explanation, walk away.
FAQ
How do I top up 8 Ball Pool without Facebook login?
You can top up with just your Unique ID on UID-based storefronts. Paste your UID, pick your Pool Cash or Pool Coins pack, and pay — no Facebook or Miniclip password needed. The currency lands on the account tied to that UID.
Where is my 8 Ball Pool UID?
Open 8 Ball Pool, tap your avatar to open your player profile, and copy the long number string labeled Unique ID. That is the number you paste at checkout. If you copied a short number, you likely grabbed a club or table ID by mistake.
Do VIP bonuses apply on UID recharges?
The game applies your VIP multiplier if your level is above bronze — store pages usually show base amount only, so your in-game total can be higher after the bonus is applied. Check your VIP level in game before you buy to estimate the final amount.
Which payment should I pick in Europe?
Pick the local rail first: BLIK in Poland, Multibanco in Portugal, EPS in Austria, MyBank in Italy, and Trustly for pan-European bank payments where your bank is supported. Paysafecard is best for privacy, and Visa/Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer or Binance Pay work as anywhere backups.
Why didn't my Pool Cash appear instantly?
First, restart 8 Ball Pool and check your balance again — most UID deliveries show after a quick reload. If it is still missing, verify you pasted the correct UID and that the payment was confirmed in your bank or wallet app. Keep your transaction reference and contact support with UID and proof of payment.
Can I use Binance Pay or bank transfer for 8 Ball Pool?
Where the checkout offers it in your market, yes — Binance Pay and bank transfer (including instant transfer) appear alongside cards and local rails like Trustly and Paysafecard. Availability depends on your country and the pack, so check what the checkout shows after you enter your UID.
My Verdict for European Players in 2026
If you want Pool Cash and Pool Coins without handing over a Facebook login, UID is the only way I recommend. Find the ID once, save it, and you can recharge in under two minutes from then on.
For payments, I would do this: Poland — BLIK every time. Portugal — Multibanco. Austria — EPS. Italy — MyBank. Everyone else — Trustly if your bank is in its 3,000-bank network (98.8% conversion and 99.95% uptime per Trustly), otherwise Visa/Mastercard or Apple Pay/Google Pay. Paysafecard stays in the pocket for when you want no bank trail.
Don't chase the biggest advertised discount you saw elsewhere — those up to 35% and up to 30% cheaper claims float around the wider market and often hide fees at checkout. Look at the final total for your UID and your rail. That is the real price.
Ready to test it? Grab your UID from your profile, then grab your Pool Coins on VGToPUP and confirm your total before you pay. One small pack with your local rail will tell you everything about speed and cost — then go bigger with confidence.
