# Cashing out

You can request to move **$CRIME** **out of the game** on a **once-per-week** rhythm. Different **styles** of withdrawal may show up over time—same idea (you request, it gets reviewed, then paid), different **flavor** and rules.

## How a withdrawal works (simple version)

1. You **submit a request** in-game with the amount and withdrawal type you want.
2. Your request sits as **pending** until staff **approve or deny** it. There’s an internal **queue** so everything gets a fair look.
3. If it’s **approved**, the team **sends** **$CRIME** from the game’s **treasury** to **your wallet** on Solana. That final send is done from **operator tools**, not from the normal “play the game” buttons—so payouts stay controlled and safe.
4. Until those operator tools are fully live, **approval and payout** may still be **work in progress**. If something isn’t available yet, the in-game screens will tell you.

## Timing

After you submit, **processing can take up to several hours** (think on the order of **\~10 hours** in busy periods)—queue, review, and network conditions all matter.

## Money laundering withdraw (first style)

The first style unlocked is **Money laundering withdraw**:

* **5% fee** on what you take out
* **Every withdrawal method has a minimum** withdrawal amount.
* Fees go to a dedicated **fee treasury** (they don’t vanish—they’re part of how the system is funded)

More styles may appear later with different fees, minimums, and presentation.

If you haven’t yet, read how you earn **$CRIME** in [**Cash, ranks, and the market**](/help/money-and-trade/gameplay-and-economy.md).
