Collector Crypt vs Courtyard
The two giants of on-chain card gacha — together they've processed billions in volume — and they take opposite approaches to the question that matters: do you get to see the odds?
Head to head
| Collector Crypt | Courtyard | |
|---|---|---|
| Chain | Solana | Polygon |
| Publishes odds | No | Yes (odds, EV, buyback) |
| Independent check | RipIndex reverse-engineers from the public pull feed | RipIndex audits pack-opens on-chain vs published odds |
| Price range | $25–$5,000 | $15–$5,000 |
| Buyback | 85% of value | ~84.6% of value |
| Realized / cash-out | — average realized edge per pull at buyback · Collector Crypt's featured machines · last 48 hours | cash-out EV ~82% of cost |
The honest verdict
On transparency: Courtyard. It publishes the numbers and — per our ongoing on-chain audit — the numbers hold. On scale and depth of data: Collector Crypt, the category's volume leader, where our 2,285,408-pull dataset gives the most statistically settled realized edge in the category. On profitability: neither. Both are −EV once you cash out; the difference is a few points of house edge and how much of the math you're shown up front.
Pack-by-pack detail for both lives on the live board, and the audit results in the Odds Report.
