The terms let Triumph cap withdrawals: “no more than $10,000 in withdrawals in any single day, provided that withdrawal via Venmo is capped at no more than $4,000 per rolling twenty-four (24) hours”. The help page also mentions a weekly limit and gives no amount. The FAQ says an instant withdrawal averages about ten minutes and a bank payout takes one to three business days.

Questions about how Rips by Triumph works
How does Rips by Triumph work?
You add money in the app, buy a digital pack, and a card is revealed. You then sell it back to Triumph for cash balance or ask for it to be shipped. A card left for 7 days is treated as a return at Triumph's value. Pack prices and odds are shown only inside the app.
How does Rips by Triumph make money?
Its own pages state: instant transfer fee. Not published: pack price above average card value, fee on a sell-back and shipping or retrieval fee. We do not estimate margins or what Rips by Triumph pays for cards.
Can you withdraw money you deposited in Rips?
No. The help centre says “Only card sales will be available to withdrawal.” Bonus Cash cannot be withdrawn either, and is forfeited when you make any withdrawal.
What happens if you leave a card in Rips?
After 7 days the terms treat it as a return and credit you at the value Triumph sets. To keep a card you must ask for shipping, at your cost. The terms promise no delivery time.
