# Guest & Career Modes

Upon completing the tutorial you will be asked to choose between two game modes.&#x20;

Basketballverse gives you two options. Firstly, there’s '**Guest Mode**', which gives you a free character and access to normal matches and multiplayer. This is ideal for players who want to continue playing but are uncertain about registering.&#x20;

The progression of a free-to-play (F2P) character has a ‘glass ceiling’ - once you reach a specific level, further advancement will not be possible. F2P guest mode also restricts access to other game modes, which can only be played in ‘**Career Mode**’.&#x20;

You could switch to ‘Career Mode’ by registering in BVR using a Web 3.0 wallet. After completing the process you would be able to mint a character, modify its appearance, unlock key game modes, and even transfer the progress you made with your F2P character!&#x20;

Switching over is a good idea, as you will receive a starting amount of gold and the opportunity to purchase in-game accessories for your ballers.&#x20;

Simply put, Career Mode is your go-to option for unrestricted Basketballverse experience!
