Everything you need to know about opening digital Pokémon packs on RipVault — the odds, how we prove fairness, and what happens to a card after you pull it. Still stuck? See how verification works.
What is RipVault?
RipVault is a digital Pokémon pack-opening experience. You open digital booster packs that use the same per-slot odds as the real sealed product, then keep what you pull in your vault, ship the physical card to your door, or sell it back instantly for coins.
Are the pack odds the same as a real Pokémon booster pack?
Yes. Every digital pack is modelled slot-by-slot on the real sealed product, using published pull rates and weights. You can see the exact per-card probability for any set on its odds page before you open anything.
Is RipVault provably fair? Can I verify my pull?
Every pack opening uses a commit-reveal protocol with HMAC-SHA256. Before you open, we show you the SHA-256 hash of a random server seed; after you open, we publish the seed so you can replay the exact result yourself on the /verify page. If the seed had been changed, the hash would not match.
What can I do with a card after I pull it?
Three things. Vault it to keep it in your digital collection, ship it to have the real physical card mailed to you, or sell it back instantly for coins at its live market value. The choice is yours on every pull.
How much does it cost to open a pack?
Each set has its own rip price, shown on the set page. Rip prices track the live sealed market and are priced to stay below buying and opening the equivalent sealed pack yourself, since prices update daily from current card values.
Are the cards real? Can I get the physical card shipped?
Yes. Anything you pull can be shipped to you as the genuine physical card. Choose 'ship' on a card in your vault and we mail the real card. If you would rather not wait, you can sell it back for coins instead.
What are coins?
Coins are the in-app balance used to open packs and to receive sell-back value. One coin equals one US cent. You can top up your balance and sell cards back to coins at their live market price.
How are card prices and pack values calculated?
Card market values are refreshed daily from live pricing data. Each set also has an expected pack value — the weighted average of every card it can pull — which we recompute whenever prices update, so the odds pages and sell-back values stay current.
Is RipVault gambling?
RipVault is a digital pack-opening product: you always receive cards from every pack, exactly as you would opening a real booster, and you can ship or sell back what you pull. It mirrors the experience of opening sealed Pokémon product rather than wagering on an uncertain outcome.
Which Pokémon sets can I open on RipVault?
RipVault carries a rotating catalog of modern English and Japanese Scarlet & Violet and Sword & Shield era sets. You can browse every live set, grouped by era, on the Sets page, with full odds for each.
