Where we read the prices

One card a pack. The eight tiers are the Pokémon ladder; basketball has four, from $15 to $100. The terms say probabilities “are disclosed on the Platform”, but the pack pages we could read showed only chase cards and a “Max Hit” figure.

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.

Your card is valued at$65

Stadium Vault offers

$58.50

90% of the value, as cash. #10 of the 17 apps that publish a rate. The offer is open for 24 hours.

The offer is “100% of our estimated value of the Cards, less a 10% fee”. Stadium Vault sets the estimate.

The Instant Offer “is available for 24 hours after initiating your Stadium Vault Pack reveal”.
Stadium Vault terms, section 2d

The other page

“Digital Wallet balances cannot be funded by Stadium Vault directly, and cannot be redeemed or transferred outside the Platform.”

FAQ: start a withdrawal from Settings. The same section of the terms says funds can be withdrawn “through Stripe at any time”.

You pay a fixed price for one card of unknown value, and the terms call the purchase a final sale.

Questions, sources and changes

Is Stadium Vault legit?

It names its company, Stadium Live Studios Inc. of Toronto, and publishes terms, pack prices and a sell-back formula. We have not tested a withdrawal or a delivery, and its terms and FAQ disagree on the offer window and on who processes withdrawals.

What is the Stadium Vault sell-back rate?

The terms say 100% of Stadium Vault's estimated value, less a 10% fee. The FAQ calls it 90% of fair market value: $9 on a $10 card. Stadium Vault sets the value.

What happens if I do nothing with a card?

After three days without a shipping request it is sold back automatically at the 90% offer, and the amount goes to your wallet. The terms say that sale cannot be reversed.

Is the first pack really risk-free?

The FAQ describes a floor on the sell-back offer, paid as wallet credit: “not an automatic refund to your payment card or bank account”. It applies once, to an eligible paid pack.

Is there a Stadium Vault Android app?

No. The FAQ says there is no official Android app and that any Google Play app under its name is fraudulent. Android users can use the website.

Can I use Stadium Vault outside the US and Canada?

The terms ship only to the United States and Canada, and the FAQ limits withdrawals to the same two countries. The website returned “Not Available in Your Region” to a German connection.
