The biggest secrets in Gamble With Your Friends aren't found at the blackjack table; they're hidden in plain sight. To find Bing Bong, you need to master a hidden parkour course in the hub world. For the secret achievement, you just need to click a specific link on the main menu before you even start a run. These aren't about luck—they're about knowing where to look.
This guide breaks down exactly how to find the elusive Bing Bong, unlock the surprisingly meta 'Try Again' achievement, and uncover another secret tied to your very first choice in the game.
Where is Bing Bong? Mastering the Secret Parkour Course
Beyond the casino limo and the body part shop lies a hidden agility course, and at its summit, a strange character named Bing Bong awaits. Finding him unlocks the 'You've reached peak' achievement. The platforming isn't brutally difficult, but the path isn't obvious. You'll need to use the environment to climb high above the hub area.
Step 1: Locate the Starting Point
Forget the casino for a moment. From your cardboard box spawn point, head towards the area with the basketball hoop. The parkour course begins here, using the nearby structures as your initial platforms. Look for the lowest accessible rooftop or ledge that you can jump onto from the ground or a nearby object. This is your gateway to the climb.
Step 2: The Ascent
The path upwards involves a series of calculated jumps from one object to another. There isn't a single prescribed route, but the general principle is to always be looking for the next highest point you can reach. You'll be jumping on shipping containers, air conditioning units, and building ledges.
- First Jumps: Use smaller objects like crates or dumpsters to get onto the first major rooftop.
- Mid-Climb: From there, look for pipes, awnings, or other architectural details that create a path to adjacent, taller buildings.
- The Final Stretch: The last few jumps are usually the trickiest, requiring more precision. You'll need to navigate between the highest points of the surrounding buildings to reach the final platform.

Step 3: Meet Bing Bong
Once you reach the highest point, you'll find a small, isolated area. Here, you'll see not only Bing Bong but a couple of other strange Easter eggs, including a miniature Eiffel Tower and a marshmallow man. The moment you land on this final platform, the 'You've reached peak' achievement should unlock. There's nothing else to do here but enjoy the view and the absurdity before climbing back down to lose all your money.
How Do You Get the Gambling Support Hotline Achievement?
This is arguably the easiest and most clever secret achievement in the game. It requires no skill, no grinding, and no luck. You can unlock it before you even play your first hand of blackjack. The achievement is a reward for acknowledging the game's theme in the real world.
The developers placed a link on the main menu for a 'Gambling Support Hotline'. Clicking this link doesn't just show you a tooltip; it opens a web browser to an actual resource for gambling addiction help. The game immediately rewards your responsible click with an achievement, often named 'Try Again' or a similar title, for checking out the support services.

To get it, simply:
- Launch Gamble With Your Friends.
- On the main menu screen, before you join or host a game, locate the text link at the bottom that reads 'Gambling Support Hotline'.
- Click it.
That's it. The achievement will pop, and you'll have one more completion point before your debt spiral even begins. It's a fantastic bit of design that adds a layer of self-awareness to the game's chaotic premise.
What About the First Coin Flip?
Your very first interaction with Gamble With Your Friends is a coin flip to see if you're 'worthy' of playing. This choice isn't just flavor text; it's tied to a secret achievement. When the game presents the initial coin flip, most players will instinctively click 'Yes' to start playing. But what happens if you don't?
There are three basic outcomes of this initial event, two of which have gameplay consequences:
- Flip and get Green: You receive the 'Gambler's Blessing' and are allowed into the game. This is the standard outcome.
- Flip and get Red: This is considered bad luck. You're still allowed in, but it's a poor omen for the gambling to come.
- Click 'No': If you refuse to flip the coin, the game calls you out for your lack of nerve and immediately grants you the 'You Coward' achievement.

Getting this achievement is as simple as getting the hotline one. When the coin flip prompt appears on your first launch, just select the 'No' option instead of flipping. You can still proceed into the game afterward, but you'll have unlocked a rare achievement that many players miss by rushing to the casino floor.
A Final Take
While the core of Gamble With Your Friends is about high-stakes betting and chaotic minigames, its most memorable moments are often hidden off the beaten path. The Bing Bong parkour course offers a welcome break from the casino floor, rewarding exploration with a bizarre Easter egg. Meanwhile, the hotline and coin flip achievements show a clever, self-aware design that respects the player's intelligence. So before your next run, take a moment to look around the edges of the world—you might find more than just another way to go broke.
