Frequently asked.
Is the game free?
+
Yes. 100 percent free to play. We sell optional cosmetics and a seasonal Pimp Pass. No pay-to-win, ever.
What's in the Pimp Pass?
+
25 percent faster energy and stamina regen, plus 50 percent bank capacity, a modest economy boost, and cosmetic VIP styling. No combat stat boosts and no exclusive weapons. Free players can still reach number one.
Do I need to download anything?
+
No. It runs in any modern browser. You can install it as a PWA on iOS and Android for a full screen app-like experience and push notifications.
Is there a mobile app?
+
Not yet, and maybe never. The browser version already installs to your home screen and sends push notifications. Most app stores do not allow adult-themed content anyway.
How long does a session take?
+
As short as 2 minutes to clear your energy and check notifications, or as long as you want. Energy caps every 2 hours so there is always something to do when you come back.
What happens if I stop playing for a while?
+
Your character keeps earning offline for up to 24 hours on stable income. You will not lose levels or items for inactivity.
Can I get attacked while I am asleep?
+
Yes, that is part of the game. But cash in the bank is always safe, and being hospitalized just means a short cooldown. No permanent losses.
Is there cheat protection?
+
All game logic runs server-side. Crimes, fights, slot spins happen on our servers with seeded RNG and a full audit log. Confirmed cheaters get banned.
How does the in-game casino work?
+
Velvet Slots is a server-authoritative slot machine. Payouts cap at 75x and you can never lose more than your wager. There is no way to buy chips with real money.
Is the casino real-money gambling?
+
No. You can only wager in-game cash you earned playing. There is no real-money deposit, withdrawal, or cash-out. Treat the casino as in-game flavor.
What is Heist Hour?
+
Two daily UTC windows that boost crime cash. Heist Hour at 18:00 pays 2x and Power Hour at 02:00 pays 1.5x. A live countdown shows on the actions page.
What is a critical hit?
+
About 1 in 20 successful crimes lands a CRIT. Double cash, double respect, gold flash, victory chime. They show up in the city news feed.
Can I turn the sounds off?
+
Yes. There is a mute button in the top bar and in your settings. The setting persists per device.
Is my data private?
+
We store only what is needed to run the game: email and in-game stats. We never sell data. You can export or delete your account at any time from Settings.
How do I report abuse in chat?
+
Every message has a report button. Reports go to our moderation queue and are reviewed within 24 hours.
Is the game 18+ only?
+
Yes. The game is 18+ only and contains themes of crime, violence and adult content. We enforce this with an age gate and account confirmation.
