Skool gamification: use points to reinforce useful participation.
A focused guide to Skool gamification: how points and levels work, what leaderboards show, level-locked courses, and how to use progression without encouraging spam.
How the system works
Members earn one point when another member likes one of their posts, comments, or replies. Points accumulate into levels, and the current Skool documentation lists nine levels. Community owners can also make courses unlock at selected levels.
Where level locks make sense
Use level locks for bonus material, advanced templates, optional deep dives, or other rewards that make sense after participation. Avoid locking essential onboarding or core instructions behind an engagement threshold. Members should not need to manufacture activity before they can understand how to use the community.
Pricing, fees, and platform features can change. Check the linked source before making a purchase decision.
