Death and new rounds
Your Certified Gangster upgrade remains active even when you die or a new round starts.
Change Username (15 Credits)
You can change your name at any time using credits. This won't hide your identity because although you have a new name there are various ways to see you're the same person, such as your respect count or ranking position. To hide your identity you must commit suicide and create a new gangster. You can use a name you've already used this round, the existing gangster will be automatically renamed.
Other uses
You can also use credits on the following screens:
- Airport: Reset your timer (8 credits, limited to once per 5 minutes)
- Scratch & Win: Scratch all cards together (2 credits)
- Trade Center, Auction House and Black Market: Sell your credits
- Family Dashboard (settings tab): Change family name
Buy Credits
You can buy your own credits on the Buy Credits tab. By purchasing credits you're helping to fund the game and keep it ad-free.
If you would prefer not to buy credits using real currency, you can buy credits from other players in the Auction House.
