# FAQ

#### Can everyone play CityVerse Tycoon?

**Absolutely.**\
CityVerse Tycoon is for anyone who wants to climb the real estate ladder—starting as a renter and leveling up with spins, strategy, and some good old-fashioned Tycoon hustle.

You’ll earn **Tycoon Coins** by upgrading your landlord’s building (that’s how you “pay rent”). Eventually, you can **buy your own building** in the marketplace—from another player or straight from CityVerse. Once you do? No more rent—you're the boss.

And soon, we’re opening up the **Landlord feature**, where you can manage renters and earn off *their* upgrades. That’s big-time tycoon talk.

**Sweepstakes Mode** has restrictions. Only available in certain U.S. and Canadian regions, and you must be **21+**.\

**Definitely!**\

* Wait for the spins bar to refill
* Collect the **Hourly Bonus**

#### 💰 How does the Jackpot work?

Jackpots live in **Sweepstakes Mode** and are based on your **SC bid amount**:

* **Up to 5 SC** → Minor Jackpot unlocked
* **5 SC** → Major Jackpot unlocked
* **10+ SC** → You’re in Grand Jackpot territory

Every bet pumps up the Jackpot pool. When someone wins, it resets to a base amount and starts climbing again. It’s a **progressive prize**—the more you spin, the bigger it gets.

#### 🏦 How do I redeem my SC?

Easy. Go to your **Account > Redeem Prizes**, choose how many **Sweep Coins (SC)** you want to redeem, and we’ll kick off a quick **KYC process** (we’ll need docs for verification).

Once you're approved, your cash prize is on its way.

#### 🪙 What’s a Tycoon Coin?

**Tycoon Coins** are your in-game currency—earned by spinning and upgrading in **CityVerse Mode**. Use them to:

* **Upgrade buildings**
* **Crack open your Piggy Bank**

Speaking of that Piggy Bank:\
It **opens at Level 6** (and again every 3 levels after that), giving you access to your saved-up Tycoon Coins *plus* bonus goodies.

Level up, stack your coins, and break that bank. 💥
