What happens when you open a pack?

Here's how to open Rips packs on Crypto.com once you've bought one. Tap to select the pack and swipe to rip it. Your card is revealed with the buyback price shown on it.

You can then choose 'Sell' or 'Keep'. You can also tap the share icon at the top right of the card to share a pull, either right after the rip or later from 'My Collection'.

To see the exact odds and value ranges for a pack, check the 'Odds' screen on that pack's listing. Packs can contain ‘Common’, ‘Uncommon’, ‘Rare’ or ‘Epic’ cards.

What can you do with a card after the reveal?

After the reveal you have three paths:

  • Sell: Sell the card back instantly at the buyback price shown on it. The amount is credited right away to your fiat wallet
  • Keep and ship: The card moves to 'My Collection' and you can ship it to your preferred address while its countdown is running. That's 2 days (48 hours) for a card from a paid pack and 12 hours for a card from a free pack.
  • Keep and wait: If you neither ship nor sell before the countdown ends, the card sells automatically at the buyback price shown when you chose 'Keep'.

The countdown is a temporary decision window. You can see it on each card in 'Accounts > Rips > My Collection'. Once it ends you can't ship the card.

Proceeds are credited to your fiat balance. If you've completed identity verification and opened an account, you can withdraw them.

To ship a card, you need to have completed identity verification and hold a card that's eligible to ship. To start, go to 'Accounts > Rips > My Collection', select the card and tap 'Ship to me'. A confirmed shipment can't be cancelled and you can follow it under 'Accounts > Rips > Shipped'.

What does it cost to use Rips?

The pack price appears on the Rip button before you buy. Each category has seven tiers, currently priced from $5 to $2,500. Selling back uses the buyback price shown on the card.

You can pay with your settled account balance, Apple Pay, Google Pay, a debit card or crypto. A fee may apply when you pay with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Eligible new users who have completed identity verification may have that fee waived for the first 7 days.

Shipping is paid separately with your settled account balance, Apple Pay, Google Pay or a debit card. Fees and tax may apply depending on your payment method and shipping address.

Free packs show up under 'Your packs' on the 'Rips' tab. Users with approved identity verification receive five, and each one expires if you don't open it within 90 minutes of claiming it.

How does online card ripping work on Rips?

Online card ripping means opening trading card packs through an app or website and revealing what's inside on screen. Rips follows the same pattern, with a real card at the end of it:

  • Buy: Tap 'Rip for $X' on the pack you chose.
  • Reveal: Swipe to rip the pack and see your card.
  • Decide: Choose 'Keep' or 'Sell'.
  • Finish: Ship a kept card or sell it before the countdown ends.

On any platform it helps to read the terms and odds before you open a pack. Check the shipping and buyback rules too. On Rips the 'Odds' screen shows the odds and value ranges for each pack. Contents are random and no pack guarantees a particular card or value. The countdown on a kept card does end.
