Hands-on: a rip on Rips by Triumph, recorded
Coming to this review. Four things will sit here, each dated.
Packs and odds: all inside the app
What you can read before you pay, and what you cannot.
Store text says “Premium Packs – Max pulls up to $10,000+”. A “50/50 packs” product is blocked in Illinois, Utah and North Carolina.
No odds table is public, so there is nothing to simulate for this app. Try the pack simulator on an app that publishes its odds and its sell-back rate.
Is the sell-back offer fair?
Set a card value. The bars show what the same card returns on every app that publishes a rate.

Where it works, and for whom
From its terms and store listings. We report what they say, not what the law is where you live.
1 states excluded by its terms
Search results on 6 October 2026 showed look-alike Google Play listings using the Rips name from other developers. The real app's developer is Triumph Labs Inc.
Is it gambling, and playing safely
Unsettled, and we do not say whether it is legal where you live.
- Google Play labels the app “In-Game Purchases (Includes Random Items)” and “Cash Rewards”.
- Wired reported on 2 July 2026 that Rips' terms call the experience different from gambling, and that two addiction researchers it interviewed called it gambling.
- Triumph files its self-exclusion tool under a setting it calls “Responsible Gaming”.

Can you get real cards from Rips?
The terms say you can ask for a card to be shipped to a US address at your cost, and promise no delivery time. Users in forum threads report cards arriving. We have not received one.
How do you get free Rips packs?
Through a referral: both people get a starter or basic pack when a first-time downloader enters a code at sign-up. Triumph publishes no public promo code.
Does Rips work on Android?
Yes. Google Play lists Rips by Triumph from Triumph Labs Inc., with 1M+ downloads. Some reviews still say it is iPhone only.
