# PackRips

> PackRips (packrips.org) is an independent data resource for online card-rip (pack-opening) sites. It reads the public live feeds of 19 rip sites, records every reveal it can see, and publishes what each pack and each site returns per dollar spent, with the sample size (n) on every figure. Free; takes no referral, affiliate or sponsorship money; operators can't buy placement.

Key facts (as of Oct 16, 2026):

- 17 rated sites, 465 packs with a sample, 2,858,456 pulls behind the figures (measured by PackRips from live feeds).
- Observed return = total card value revealed ÷ total spent, over sampled pulls, gross (before any buyback). Median pull = value ÷ cost of the middle pull.
- Cash/crypto sites and store-credit sites are ranked separately. Packs need 500+ pulls to be ranked; sites need 1,000+.
- Every figure is measured by PackRips from the sites' live feeds. A figure under 100 pulls is an early sample and can still move a lot. Some tracked sites have no figure yet.
- Hits-only feeds (big hits only) are excluded from returns. A pull seen under two operators is counted once.
- Top cash and crypto sites by observed return right now: Gacha Sports 119.2% (n=2,297); Collector Crypt 104.6% (n=64,984); Courtyard 102.3% (n=39,005); Slabz 99.7% (n=2,433); Phygitals 98.3% (n=23,533).
