The Rip Report

Week of August 31, 2026
How this is measured ↗

Pulls are read from each site's public feed or the chain, valued at each site's own price. Cash-back is realized — what real opens actually paid at each site's own buyback, over the trailing 7 days — never theoretical EV. Never referral-ranked. Wallets shown are public on-chain data, truncated. Read the full methodology.

Almost every pack on every site we track is −EV over the long run — and when our data says one isn't, we show that too. What changes week to week is where the money actually went, who got cooked, and who hit. Here's the tape.

-3.7% Across every site we measure, players got back 3.7% less than they paid — the house edge, in one number.
377,840 pulls read across Collector Crypt, Phygitals, Courtyard, GachaPull, Monster · trailing 7 days
