The legal stuff, in plain sight

Every policy that governs PackLab, each with a plain-English summary up top and the full text underneath. These drafts are pending attorney review before launch.

Terms of Service

updated 2026-07-09
  • · You're buying real trading cards at published odds — every pack contains cards with real market value, and every box's contents are locked and provable before the first rip.
  • · Everything on the site runs on Sparks (⚡), our store credits — 100 Sparks per dollar. Sparks have no cash value, can't be withdrawn or exchanged for cash, and can't be sent to other users. Value leaves the shop exactly one way: having your cards shipped to you. There is no cash-out, and none is planned.
  • · Every card you pull can be sold back instantly for Sparks at a flat 85% of market, shipped home from ⚡299 (⚡499 for cards worth ⚡1,000 and up; 10% off each when shipping 3 or more together), or kept in your vault.

  • · We never sell your data.
  • · You can access, correct, delete, and export your data, and we honor Global Privacy Control signals.

Responsible Play

updated 2026-07-09
  • · Set personal limits, see your full history, take a break, or self-exclude.
