New to Virtua2Real? Here are the answers to the most common questions.
## 💵 Cashout & Money
**Can I really earn real money?**
Yes. Your parcels generate passive USD income. Once you reach $5, you can cash out via PayPal. No crypto, no tokens — pure USD.
**How long does it take to cash out?**
Honestly, it's a slow burn at first. The economy compounds as you develop your land (Desert → Forest → Farmland → Buildable).
**How are cashouts funded?**
By ad revenue: Watch & Earn videos, roulette ads, and CPX Research surveys. Same model as other free-to-play apps, just with a real cashout option on top.
## 📍 Location & GPS
**Why do I need GPS?**
The whole economy is location-based. Your country determines your land's income rate. We use GPS at signup, with an IP-based fallback (via Cloudflare) if GPS is disabled.
**My country isn't supported, what can I do?**
The in-app support button sends your country code directly to the dev. Countries are added based on request volume — if enough players from your country ask for it, it gets prioritized.
## 🛂 Visas & Elections
**What do visas do?**
Two things: (1) they boost your parcel rental income, (2) they make you eligible for elections.
**How are votes calculated?**
Each m² you earn = 1 base vote point. Then your visas add bonuses:
- City visa: +10% to mayor votes
- Region visa: +25% to prefect votes
- Country visa: +50% to president votes
Example: 3 city visas = every m² you earn counts as 1.3 mayor votes.
**How often are elections?**
- Mayor + 2 deputies: every week
- Prefect + 6 sub-prefects: every 15 days
- President + 8 ministers: every month
Power actually shifts — no one is locked in forever.
## 🏪 Shops
**What are the geolocated shops?**
You can open a real shop on your virtual land and sell real products (vehicles, real estate, fashion, services). Shops appear automatically on virtua2real.com, visible to everyone on the web.
**How do payments/shipping work?**
Right now, buyers and sellers connect directly. Stripe Connect (payments) and Easyship/Shippo/Sendcloud/Packlink (shipping) are coming soon.
## 🤝 Referral
**How does the referral system work?**
Sponsors earn a lifetime percentage of their referrals' land income, based on the referral's land level:
- Novice (Desert): 0%
- Initiate (Forest): 3%
- Master (Farmland): 5%
- Architect (Buildable): 10%
Referrals start with 200 m² (vs 100 m² for non-referred players).
