Pack battle FAQ

What is a pack battle?

Two players open the same packs, round by round. Each pack holds one real graded card. The winner takes every slab in the battle, including the other player’s.

How do Pokémon pack battles work here?

Pick up to 5 packs in the order you want them ripped, pick the rules, and pay your entry into escrow. Once an opponent joins with the same packs, order and rules, you both rip round by round, and every slab goes straight to the winner’s wallet.

Are the slabs real?

Yes. Every pack comes from Collector Crypt and holds one professionally graded card, kept in their vault and represented by a token in your wallet. You can keep it, sell it back, or have the real card shipped to your door.

Can I try a pack battle for free?

Yes. Practice battles use play money against RipBot, with no wallet needed. They draw from Collector Crypt’s real card pools, but nothing is bought and nothing is won.

What do I need for a real battle?

A Solana wallet such as Phantom or Solflare, USDC for your entry, and a little SOL for network fees. On a phone, open the site inside your wallet’s own browser.

What does it cost?

Packs run from Starter at $25 to Celestial at $5,000, and your entry is your packs plus a 5% fee, so a Starter battle is $26.25. Right now each player can put up to $250 in packs into a battle. Opening packs solo has no fee.

How is the winner decided?

You pick the rules. In Higher pull wins, every slab adds up and the bigger total takes them all. In an Odds battle any haul can win: the more yours adds up to, the better your odds, settled by a provably fair roll.

What happens if a battle is a tie?

In Higher pull wins, if both totals match to the cent, nobody wins and each player keeps the slabs they pulled. The 5% fee isn’t refunded, because the packs were still bought and opened. An Odds battle can’t tie: even when both hauls are worth the same, the roll picks a winner.

How do I know it’s fair?

Packs are assigned to each player before they’re bought, so nobody can pick the good one afterwards. Collector Crypt picks each card with verifiable randomness, and each pull links to its proof. In an Odds battle, a hash of the secret seed is public before anyone pays, and the seed is revealed afterwards so anyone can check the roll. Payments, packs and payouts all link to the Solana explorer.

Where does my money go while I wait?

Into an escrow wallet that the site controls. It isn’t a smart contract, so you are trusting the site to run it, and everything it does is visible on-chain. You can cancel for a full refund, fee included, any time before an opponent pays.

What happens if something breaks mid-battle?

The battle is called off with no winner, and any pack that opened goes to the player who pulled it. A pack that was never paid for is refunded at its share of the entry. A pack that was paid for keeps trying to open, and its slab goes to the player who pulled it.

Can I battle a friend?

Yes. Start a private battle and you get a 4-digit code only they can use.

Can I open packs without battling?

Yes. Pick Solo as your opponent. You pay exactly what the packs cost, with no fee, and every slab goes straight to your wallet.

What can I do with a slab I win?

Keep it in your wallet, sell it back to Collector Crypt for USDC within 72 hours of the pull if it’s eligible, or have the real card shipped to you through Collector Crypt. Shipping fees apply, and shipping is permanent because the token is burned.

What are levels and XP?

Every real pack you open earns XP, win or lose: $1 of packs is 1 XP, and a win earns 25% more. Levels are for show, and they never change your odds or your payouts.

What is $PACK?

The PackBattle coin. Holding it earns points you can spend on free packs and shop items. It isn’t an investment, and we make no promises about its price.

Who can play, and what can I lose?

You have to be 18 or older. This is real money and chance. The loser of a battle keeps nothing, and a slab can be worth less than the pack it came from, so only play with what you can afford to lose.

Is this run by Pokémon or Nintendo?

No. packbattle isn’t affiliated with Nintendo, Creatures, Game Freak or The Pokémon Company. Card images belong to their owners. Packs, slabs, buybacks and shipping are run by Collector Crypt.
