Sticker Trade Slang 101: Decoding the Secret Language of Monopoly GO! Traders

If you’ve ever wandered into a Monopoly GO! sticker trading forum—be it Reddit, Discord, or a Facebook group—you’ve likely encountered a confusing jungle of abbreviations, numbers, and inside jokes. Posts like “LFG 5⭐️ dupes, 1:1 golds, no legs, DM ASAP” might leave new players scratching their heads.

Welcome to the underground lingo of Monopoly GO! sticker traders, where a whole new language has evolved to keep up with the fast-paced world of digital bartering.

Let’s break it down:

1:1, 2:1, 3:1… The Ratio Codes

These refer to trade offers and expectations.

1:1 means a fair trade—one sticker for one of equal rarity.

2:1 means you’re offering two cards to get one rarer card in return.

The higher the number, the more you’re “paying” to get a desirable card.

Rare or gold cards often demand 3:1 or higher ratios.

LFG / LF / FT / DM

Acronyms rule the space:

LFG = Looking For Gold (or just looking for stickers)

LF = Looking For

FT = For Trade (the cards you’re offering)

DM = Direct Message (used when someone wants to trade privately)

Example post:

“LFG 5⭐️ Sleigh Ride, FT: Gold Cake Boss x2, DM if interested!”

“5-Star for Legs”

This popular phrase originated in Chinese-speaking communities and quickly spread into global sticker trade slang.

“Legs” refers to highly sought-after stickers needed to complete a set—often the last missing piece.

Saying “5-star for legs” usually means: “I’m willing to give a 5-star sticker for any leg (missing piece) you have.”

It can also be a meme, implying someone is willing to give away a lot just to finish their album.

"No Legs" / "No Beggars" / "No Ghosts"

No Legs: I’m not giving you my valuable card just because you’re missing it—only fair trades.

No Beggars: Refusal to trade with players asking without offering anything.

No Ghosts: A warning—don’t disappear mid-trade!

“Dupe” and “Goldies”

Dupe = Duplicate sticker

Goldies = Gold-rimmed stickers, often rarer and harder to trade unless during “Golden Blitz” events.

Understanding this language not only helps you trade better—it shows you’re part of the community. It signals that you respect the culture, know the rules, and are ready to play the sticker game seriously.

But if decoding all this is too much, there’s a simpler path.
