Open That Pack Review: Odds, Payouts and What It Really Returns

One booster pack of a named set. On 8 and 9 November the shop had 49: 28 Pokémon sets from $4 to $16, 11 Magic: The Gathering sets from $16 to $70, six One Piece sets at $7 to $8, and four Riftbound sets from $5 to $12.

You open the pack on the site and the cards appear in your vault. Open That Pack says every card you pull is a physical card backed by its inventory, and that if a card is out of stock the pack is taken off sale until it restocks. Its quality page guarantees every card Near Mint or better and sets out exactly how much wear that allows.

The fairness page has an Odds tab with the rates for each set, as Open That Pack publishes them, written 1/N for each rarity. Delta Reign, a $5 Pokémon pack, reads Double Rare 1/5, Illustration Rare 1/9, Ultra Rare 1/12, Special Illustration Rare 1/80 and Mega Hyper Rare 1/1000. On 9 November, 48 of the 49 packs on sale had an entry; One Piece's The Time of Battle didn't.

Those are pull rates for each rarity, not a table of what a pack is worth, and Open That Pack publishes no expected value, so there is no return figure here for us to show.

Each opening combines a server seed, whose SHA-256 hash you are given, a client seed (your username, or one you set in your profile) and a timestamp, through HMAC-SHA512, into the random numbers that pick each card within its rarity range. After the opening you can reveal the server seed and check the result against it with the open-source verification tools its fairness page points to.

Its FAQ goes further and says every pull is recorded on Solana. We found no Solana address or explorer link anywhere on the site, so we can't point you to that record; the seed check above is the one it documents.

Its FAQ says you can sell unwanted cards back instantly. You are paid in site credit, which its terms call non-withdrawable and usable only on the site. Its terms describe each buy-back price as an indicative price it sets that isn't meant to represent market value, and no rate is published. Site credit can expire after 24 months of account inactivity.

Deposits, by card or crypto, go into the same credit balance you spend on packs. Its Withdraw page is for shipping cards, not cash, so the way to get value back out is to have the cards shipped.

Pick cards in your vault and create a withdrawal order. Its FAQ makes shipping free on orders over $100 and a flat fee otherwise, plus $0.10 for every bulk card beyond the first 50 (commons, uncommons and rares, normal or reverse holo). Orders go by UPS Express with a signature on delivery, and its shipping page says Open That Pack pays the duties, VAT and import fees on international orders. Its terms read differently on both: fulfilment fees that vary with destination, value and weight, and customs duties and import charges listed among what you pay to ship. The charges are shown before you confirm.

Allow for processing: orders of up to 50 cards typically ship within six business days, larger ones can take up to eleven, and very large bulk orders of 100 cards or more can take up to 30. Delivery after dispatch is one to three business days on the shipping page and two to three days in the FAQ. Report damage within five days of delivery.

It ships to most of the world, but its shipping page and its FAQ list different countries it can't deliver to. Both exclude Russia, Ukraine, North Korea, Syria and Gaza; the shipping page adds Iran and Cuba, the FAQ Afghanistan, Belarus, Brunei, Lebanon, Tajikistan and Yemen. Check yours before you buy.

It suits you if you want to open packs of the sets it stocks for a few dollars each, see the rates for each set first, and have the cards you keep shipped almost anywhere, with a shipping page that promises no customs bill. Support runs by live chat and email every day from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Eastern.

It suits you less if you want cash back out: anything you sell back becomes credit you can only spend there.
