You cannot convert gold into real money. And it is better NOT to buy gold because when you make in-game purchases, you do what King wants you to do, which is to pay to get through the game. They WANT your money. Gold is never a must in Candy Crush Saga. It is strongly discouraged to use gold to buy lives or tickets.
