How money comes out
Gems only. No cash withdrawals Read on the operator's own page “Gems cannot be withdrawn from the platform” Checked 6 Oct 2026. Open the source	Site credits only. No cash withdrawals Read on the operator's own page “Credits have no cash value and are for entertainment purposes only.” The help centre agrees: “Credits cannot be converted into cash”. The purchase terms keep a discretion: “Company may, in its sole discretion, permit users to redeem Credits balances for its cash value”. Checked 6 Oct 2026. Open the source
Sell-back rate
Up to 90% (advertised, not in its terms) The operator's marketing says this; its terms do not “Turn duplicates back into gems at up to 90% of market value.” Advertised, not in the terms. One page says “up to 90%”, another a flat 90%. Checked 6 Oct 2026. Open the source	100% in credit Read on the operator's own page “you can convert any card to credits at 100% of its value” Stated on the how-it-works page and the App Store listing, not in the terms or purchase terms, which name no rate. The value is DOPA's own figure for the card, not a market price. Checked 7 Oct 2026. Open the source
Days before an unclaimed card is sold for you
Not published We looked and the operator does not publish it No automatic sale is described on the pages read. Checked 6 Oct 2026.	10 days Read on the operator's own page “Once it exceeds 10 days, they will be converted into points.” Checked 6 Oct 2026. Open the source
Lowest pack
Not published We looked and the operator does not publish it Prices are in gems and the dollar price of a gem is behind sign-in. A single Surging Sparks pack was 650 gems. The set page's own saving figure, “Market price: $135.05” and “You save 48% (~$65)” on a 6,995-gem box, implies about one cent a gem; that is our sum, not a published rate. Checked 6 Oct 2026.	$0.25 Read on the operator's own page “$0.25 /Pack” The lowest price on the packs read; this one was sold out. The lowest in stock was $0.75. Two free $2 packs are offered to new accounts. Checked 6 Oct 2026. Open the source
Highest pack
Not published We looked and the operator does not publish it Prices are in gems and the dollar price of a gem is behind sign-in. A single 151 pack was 1,550 gems and a 36-pack box 54,000. Checked 6 Oct 2026.	$1,000 Read on the operator's own page “Buy $1,000.00” The highest price on the Pokémon list as it loaded; the list loads more on scroll and One Piece prices were not captured. The homepage carousel labels the same pack “$100,000”, which is its price in points. Checked 6 Oct 2026. Open the source

Checked 6 Oct 2026. Open the source
Shipping fee
200 gems per card Read on the operator's own page “Pay shipping costs in gems (200 gems per card)” From a collapsed FAQ answer. The checkout needs an account, so the fee charged there, and any higher fee abroad, was not seen. The dollar cost depends on the unpublished gem price. Checked 6 Oct 2026. Open the source	$20 on under $10 of cards, $15 on $10 to $29.99, $10 on $30 to $99.99, free from $100; no surcharge within the US Read on the operator's own page “Under $10 (under 1,000 points): $20” Charged per shipping request on the value of the cards in it.
