A Win Token is a green token that can be used in Battle for Dream Island. When used, it effectively invalidates half of the user's votes (invalidates an additional vote if the user got an odd number of votes)[1] at Cake at Stake. In the first season, Win Tokens were only used from "Barriers and Pitfalls" to "A Leg Up in the Race". After that, the Win Tokens were replaced with in-game points.
To make things fair, Announcer would ask anyone with a win token to use it before the votes are counted, and if they did not use it, they would have to wait for a future Cake at Stake to use it (provided they were not eliminated that Cake at Stake
Coverage[]
The first occurrence of a Win Token was in "Barriers and Pitfalls" when Pin received one for ripping the finish line ribbon in the previous episode.
Win Tokens have been used twice in BFDI. Needle used her Win Token in "Puzzling Mysteries", but she still had the most votes and was eliminated. This was the same case with Golf Ball in "Lofty", as she still had enough votes to be in the top two, despite using her Win Token, and this ultimately resulted in her elimination. Pin also tried to use a Win Token in "Power of Three" after the votes were revealed, but it wasn't allowed and she was ultimately eliminated.
In "A Leg Up in the Race", Win Tokens were removed from the game and were exchanged for 15 bonus points each for anyone who had leftover Win Tokens. Pen, Blocky, and Firey each received 15 bonus points, while Eraser gained 30 bonus points for his Win Tokens.
In BFDIA 5b, Win Tokens are a collectible item in every level, often hard to find or hard to reach. Collecting the Win Token and finishing a level makes the level icon turn green on the level selection screen. Other than being tallied up at the top of the level selection screen, Win Tokens have no in-game use.
In "Catch These Hands", Yellow Face can be seen 3D-printing win tokens, so that if he ever becomes eliminated, then he can use them to cheat his way out of elimination. As Yellow Face is announced to have the most dislikes, he places one of them, but still had the most votes. When he tried to place another win token, his rival, Purple Face steals the rest, eliminating Yellow Face from the show. The pile of 3D-printed were then likely destroyed when the Eiffel Tower corroded in acid.
The Win Token briefly returned in "Enter the Exit", where it was revealed that Pin still possesses her two unused Win Tokens, due to the fact that they were never converted into points by Announcer. It is unknown whether or not they are still usable.

Trivia[]
Pin holding the first Win Token in the game
- Every character that used a win token still ended up getting eliminated. (This is likely intentional.)
- Pin was the first contestant to receive a Win Token.
- Pin and Eraser are the only contestants to obtain two win tokens.
- Pin would've technically been saved by the Win Token she had because the Announcer said you could use a Win Token "If you are about to be eliminated", not "before Cake at Stake".
- If Pin used her Win Token in "Power of Three", she would've been safe from elimination with 2.5 votes, leaving Pen to be eliminated instead.
- Win Tokens are recolored Coiny assets, with the initials plastered on.
- The only times the Win Token appears outside Battle for Dream Island is by mention in "Insectophobe's Nightmare 3" when Puffball Speaker Box thought Coiny was a Win Token while he was poisoned; in BFDIA 5b; in BFDIA 9 when Yellow Face is printing them to use at the Cake at Stake; and in "Enter the Exit" when Pin is seen holding onto her Gratitude Token and two Win Tokens.
- Win Tokens are similar to the Hidden Immunity Idols from Survivor as well as the Invincibility Statue from Total Drama, both symbolize immunity and help the user avoid elimination upon usage. The main difference between the idols and the Win Token is the latter is usually given to the winner of the challenge while the former is normally hidden.
- In addition, unlike the aforementioned idols, the Win Token does not give full immunity and does not prevent elimination when the would-be eliminated contestant has more than double of the next-voted contestant as seen with Yellow Face, Golf Ball and Needle.
- A Win Token is worth 15 points in the Third Stage of BFDI.

- ↑ In Catch These Hands, Yellow Face received 21,683 votes, so 10,842 (not 10,841 or 10,841.5) of those votes were invalidated. This is a unique usage of Win Tokens, however, since it was used in Battle for Dream Island Again (in which Win Tokens were implicitly unallowed, so Puffball Speaker Box accepted it "because I'm nice"), printed from a Win Token Printer, and activated after the vote counts had been revealed. (Ironically, Yellow Face's vote count was still the highest at well over 1000 more than Spongy's, and was about to play another Win Token when Purple Face swooped in, stealing all the printed tokens. The votes were then locked in, Yellow Face being eliminated.)
