ripz.gg review: what do you get back?
ripz.gg shows a pull rate for every card without an account. Against that: you pay in gems, gems never turn back into money, and its terms name no company.

For
- A pull rate for every card and rarity, public without an account.
- Plain about its limits: the terms say gems cannot be withdrawn.
- Gems do not expire and carry no inactivity fee.
- It publishes its own shipping delay: 14 days for US orders.
Against
- No money ever comes back out.
- No company, address or governing state is named.
- The gem price, and so every pack price in dollars, is behind sign-in.
- Only certain cards can be redeemed, and the sell-back rate is advertised two ways.
Pick it if
A Pokémon collector who wants to see the odds for each card first and treats the spend as the price of opening packs.
Skip it if
Anyone who expects to sell cards back for money, wants graded slabs or sports cards, or will not pay a site that does not name its company.

Sell-backs are paid in gems, so we do not simulate a cash session here. 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 ripz.gg's pages disagree, with each other and with a review
≠“Sell back any card you don't want at 90% market value.”
ripz.gg, /msrp page
How-it-works and the FAQ say duplicates, at “up to 90% of market value”. The terms give no rate.
The other page
≠“Every card ships physical to your door from real inventory.”
ripz.gg, /msrp page
FAQ: “certain digital cards”, and “availability depends on inventory”. Disclaimer: virtual cards “confer no rights to physical items”.
The other page
≠Cards ship “within 5-7 business days”.
Deadspin
“Domestic US orders will ship out within 14 days at this time.”
The other page
≠“Shipping costs of 300-500 gems per card.”
Deadspin
The FAQ says 200 gems per card. The checkout needs an account, so neither figure was seen there.

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.
Its terms do not say which states
No App Store or Google Play listing was found, and the site links to none. It runs in a browser.
Is it gambling, and playing safely
No ruling we can cite, and we do not say whether it is legal where you live.
- ripz.gg's terms say it “is NOT a gambling or gaming site”. That is its own description, not a regulator's.
- Nothing can be cashed out. You still pay for a random result, and gems from a sell-back can only be spent again.
- It also sells pack battles, wheels and a paid “grading” roll, each with a random outcome.
- No self-exclusion tool was found, and no company is named to complain to.
