General
How can I contact a game administrator or developer?
The best way to reach an administrator or developer is by opening a Help Request in-game.
If you can't access the game, you can contact us using this form. However, if you've been permanently banned, typically due to rule violations or repeated offenses, your request may be ignored.
Does Gangster Nation have a Discord server?
No, Gangster Nation does not have an official Discord server and is not affiliated with any Discord servers.
How can I delete my Gangster Nation account?
You can close your account from the Settings screen.
On mobile, find it in the top-right menu. On desktop, it's at the bottom of the main menu.
My previous account was deleted, can you add my previous characters to my new account history?
When your account is closed and subsequently deleted, all characters are delinked and personal information removed. As we're then unable to verify ownership of the delinked character(s), we cannot link them to a new account.
Why is the name I want unavailable when no one is using it?
When a player reaches Level 5+ with a name, it becomes reserved to their account for the next two rounds.
For example, if a player uses a name in Round 14, it remains reserved for them in Rounds 15 and 16. If they don’t use it in those rounds, it becomes available again in Round 17.
When does the round end?
Rounds typically end on Day 105, but this may vary. You'll receive an alert 10 days in advance confirming the exact end date.
Playing
How do I kill someone?
To take out your target, follow these steps:
- Locate your target using Detectives.
- Travel to their city via the Airport.
- Shoot them on the Shooting screen.
Before making a move, it's best to read the relevant guide pages to understand the mechanics and maximize your chances of success.
How do I join a family?
Families are invite-only, meaning an existing member must invite you. While you can ask around for an invite, repeatedly doing so may annoy players and get you blocked.
The best way to join a family is to play actively, build connections, and let opportunities come naturally. As you level up and gain experience, you'll become a more valuable and desirable family member, increasing your chances of receiving an invite.
How do I start a family?
To create a family, go to the All Families screen and scroll to the bottom.
You'll need to meet the following requirements:
- Be Level 12 or higher.
- Have at least $2,000,000.
Keep in mind that running a family comes with additional costs, so be prepared for the expenses that come with leadership.
Why do Trade Limits exist, and why can't we trade Inventory items?
We've chosen to limit player-to-player trade for certain features to reduce cheating and improve fairness.
In the past, Gangster Nation allowed free trade of all assets. However, increased competition led to issues like:
- Multi-accounting – Players creating multiple accounts to funnel assets into one.
- Real-World Trading (RWT) – Players buying and selling in-game assets for real money.
Preventing these forms of cheating is nearly impossible, but removing free trade eliminates the problem entirely.
This also ensures fair competition — players succeed through effort rather than being handed assets by friends, which can create an unfair advantage over others.
Where player-to-player trade isn't available, we provide alternative ways to obtain items, such as purchasing Vehicle Mods in the Black Market using Mod Coins.
