McDonald’s Customer Claims He Got a Table Full of Free Food Using the “Kiosk Monopoly Method”: “Paid for Nothing Except My Large Coke”
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS — A TikTok user has gone viral after claiming he managed to get a table full of McDonald’s food for free using what he calls the “Kiosk Monopoly Method.” The video, which has more than 650,000 views, shows bags of burgers, fries, and desserts — all allegedly obtained using a loophole tied to the McDonald’s Monopoly game and in-store kiosks.
Viral Video Shows Dozens of Free McDonald’s Items
TikToker Tommy Mucciante (@tommy.moose) shared the viral clip showing an overflowing table of McDonald’s meals. “Never patch the kiosk monopoly method,” he wrote in the video’s caption. Viewers were quick to flood the comments with success stories, claiming they’d pulled off similar hauls using the same strategy. “Paid for nothing except my large Coke,” one user bragged, while another added, “Seven snack wraps, nine double cheeseburgers, three McFlurries, six fries, three apple pies, two frappes, and nuggets — all free. It fed my house last night.”
How the “Kiosk Monopoly Method” Works
The method reportedly relies on a lesser-known rule in McDonald’s annual Monopoly promotion called the Alternative Method of Entry or AMOE. While most customers think they must make a purchase to earn Monopoly codes, McDonald’s actually offers a free option: anyone can visit the McDonald’s AMOE website, enter their information, and receive up to 10 free Monopoly codes daily. These codes can unlock free items or special deals, including burgers, desserts, and combo meals.
The “kiosk” portion of the hack comes into play when redeeming these deals in-store. Normally, the McDonald’s app enforces a 15-minute cooldown between using offers. However, users claim that scanning their rewards QR code at the self-service kiosk bypasses the wait time, allowing them to place multiple orders back-to-back without delay. “It’s about using different deals on separate orders,” Mucciante explained in a follow-up video.
Users Report Mixed Results Across Locations
While many TikTok users confirmed the trick worked, others said their local restaurants had caught on. “It depends on the McDonald’s gang,” one commenter wrote. Another admitted, “They kept calling my name after the fourth order and finally asked what was going on — I said it was my Monopoly winnings.” Others said they used to order through the drive-thru, park, and re-enter the line after 15 minutes before discovering the kiosk workaround.
McDonald’s Yet to Respond to Viral “Free Food” Hack
The viral videos have sparked debate over whether the method is a clever use of McDonald’s own promotion or an exploit of system flaws. Some users praised the creativity, while others warned it could violate store policies or cause confusion for employees. As of this week, McDonald’s has not commented on the viral “Kiosk Monopoly Method.” Mucciante, meanwhile, says the trick still works for him — and hundreds of others are testing it across the country.
