Average payout (EV)
The average value of a pack's pulls as a share of its price, taken from the site's own figures or computed from its published odds. The house edge is the rest.
How we rate sites
Every number in the ranking comes from the site itself, its terms of service or public reviews, checked on Sep 30, 2026. Here is what each column means and how the grades are set.
Buyback fee
What the site keeps when you sell a pull back: a 90% cashout is a 10% fee. Fees of 10% or less are marked LOW.
Star rating
Five stars, in half steps: 35% market presence (volume, users, community, traffic), 30% trust (fairness grade and Trustpilot), 20% value (average payout and buyback fee) and 15% Pokémon focus.
List order
The market leaders by 2026 pack volume come first (Courtyard, Collector Crypt, Phygitals), then Pokémon sites by rating. Crypto front-ends, sports-first and mystery-box sites follow.
Featured: Godpack
Godpack is built by our team. It is pinned and tagged Featured, and gets stars only once it is live and rated like everyone else.
Fairness grades
| Grade | What it takes |
|---|---|
| AStrong | Verifiable randomness or odds published before you buy, Trustpilot 4.0+ from 50+ reviews, no serious red flag in the terms. |
| BGood | Odds published, decent or few reviews, only minor points in the terms. |
| CCaution | Odds not published, Trustpilot under 3.5, or clauses that deserve a careful read. |
| DRed flags | A pattern of unpaid withdrawals, Trustpilot under 2.5, or terms that let the site void pulls or keep balances. |
The full audit (coming)
We open an account, rip packs at several price points, test the buyback and a withdrawal, then score seven criteria. Audit results feed the trust and value parts of the star rating, site by site.
| Criterion | What we check | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Odds & EV disclosure | Published odds per pack, card values used, and whether our test rips match them. | 20% |
| Buyback terms | Buyback rate, cash or credit, how long the offer lasts and how fast it pays. | 20% |
| Custody & vault proof | Who holds the slabs, insurance, and whether cards can be shipped or withdrawn on request. | 20% |
| Payouts & withdrawals | Time to withdraw cash, fees, limits, and any history of blocked payouts. | 15% |
| Pricing & fees | Pack prices against the market value of their contents, plus shipping and marketplace fees. | 10% |
| Company transparency | Legal entity, location, terms of service, age checks and responsible-play tools. | 10% |
| Community reports | Verified user complaints and how the site resolved them. | 5% |
