A question on the minds of quite a few new players visiting the Diamond Casino is how often can you buy chips in GTA Online? Chips are the currency used for playing games or buying clothing at the casino. The rewards in casinos are also dealt in chips. Rockstar Games has set a limit for the maximum amount of chips players can buy within a set time frame, and if you try buying more, you will be asked to try later.
However, this time limit is not specified in the game, which makes the situation a bit confusing, especially for newer players. So, here is a beginner's guide on how often can you buy chips in GTA Online.
How often can you buy chips in GTA Online? Everything you should know
GTA Online players without a Master Penthouse at the Diamond Casino and Resort can buy a maximum of 20,000 chips in one in-game day, which is equal to 48 minutes in real life. Those having a Master Penthouse can buy a maximum of 50,000 chips in one in-game day.
You do not require the Diamond Casino Membership to buy chips. However, you won't be able to spin The Lucky Wheel or play any of the games without it. Luckily, the membership costs only $500 in-game, an easily accumulated amount.
