# Holder & Free-to-play Modes

In order to increase Alpha League Racing playerbase, we needed to emphasize on a smart funnel that is tailored to onboard any gamers coming from all horizons.

## Holder Mode

Holder Mode is the classic mode of Alpha League Racing since its inception, in December 2021. 

You enter Holder mode the moment you decide to connect to the ALR 2.0 app with a Web3 wallet containing ALR NFTs:

* Your Garage is automatically replenished with your own Cars
* They become available in every tournaments
* Your [Earning Factor](/alpha-league-racing-2.0-2/seasons/earning-factor.md), displayed in the Garage, increases according to the number of ALR NFTs you own and their rarity level (EVO 1/2/3/4). 
* **You automatically become eligible for rewards sent after the Closing Ceremony of a Season.**

## Free-to-play Mode

In order to onboard a much wider audience, ALR now offers a Free-to-play experience, by offering the possibility to use ALR Default Cars.

There is only one notable difference with Holder Mode: Free-to-play Users are not eligible for rewards.

It's time to call your Normie friends.

*At the moment, Free-to-play accounts are not yet cross-platform: a Mobile account is different from a PC/Mac account.*
