Amateur Bucks () were a limited time currency during the Tap Ball 2015 Event. They were earned in different ways.
- As a reward for playing Tap Ball
- From tapping Sports Fans in the player's Springfield, one was rewarded for every Sport Fan tapped during Act 2 and 3.
- From tapping Sports Fans in friends' Springfields, one was rewarded for the first 50 friend actions.
- From sending characters on event related tasks.
Amateur Bucks were used to upgrade the Tap Ball's players and to craft prizes.
Jobs Rewarding Amateur Bucks[]
