Frequently Asked Questions

Rip Reserve is a members-only collector club for Pokemon TCG enthusiasts. We provide fair access to sealed product through lottery-based drops, a real-time deal scanner, restock alerts, and a private community of verified collectors. No bots, no flippers — just a better way to collect.

We offer four tiers:

Discord Only ($10/mo) — Community access, restock alerts, deal scanner tools, and giveaway entries.
Collector ($30/mo) — Everything above plus 2 monthly credits, 1 base lottery entry per drop, dashboard access, and FCFS drop access.
Insider ($75/mo) — Everything above plus 6 monthly credits, 3 base lottery entries, priority FCFS access, and early drop notifications.
Reserve ($150/mo) — Everything above plus 12 monthly credits, 5 base lottery entries, exclusive Reserve-only drops, concierge sourcing, and first access to every new feature.

We run two types of drops: Lottery drops where every eligible member gets entered and winners are selected randomly, and FCFS (first-come, first-served) drops for time-sensitive deals. When you win a lottery drop, you receive a Shopify invoice and have 24 hours to complete payment. If you don't check out in time, your spot goes to the next alternate in line.

Credits accrue on the 1st of each month based on your tier: Collector gets 2, Insider gets 6, and Reserve gets 12. You can spend credits to boost your lottery entries on any drop — more credits spent means more entries and better odds of winning. Credits don't expire while your membership is active. If you cancel, unused credits are frozen for 90 days; reactivate within that window and they're fully restored. You also earn bonus credits at membership milestones: +2 at month 2, +3 at month 3, +5 at month 6, and +10 at month 12.

Every tier comes with base lottery entries (Collector: 1, Insider: 3, Reserve: 5). On top of that, you can spend your monthly credits to add extra entries to any specific drop. This lets you go heavy on drops you really want while saving credits on others. If you don't win, your boosted credits are returned to your balance.

When you win a drop and pay your invoice, we ship your sealed product within 2–5 business days. You'll receive a tracking number once shipped. Shipping costs, if applicable, are shown at checkout.

Yes, you can cancel anytime from your Shopify account page. Your membership remains active until the end of your current billing period. Credits are frozen for 90 days after cancellation — if you reactivate within that window, they're fully restored. After 90 days, unused credits expire.

Fairness is core to everything we do. Our lottery system is provably random. We monitor for duplicate accounts, shared addresses, and suspicious IP patterns. Members flagged for gaming the system receive a 48-hour grace period to resolve issues before being blocked from drops. Every action is logged in our audit trail. We built Rip Reserve because the hobby needed a system you could actually trust.

Every member gets a unique referral code. When someone you refer joins and stays for 30 days, you earn +5 bonus credits. You can earn up to 3 referral bonuses per month (15 credits max). Share your code from your member dashboard.

Our Deal Scanner monitors eBay and retail listings 24/7 for below-market prices on sealed Pokemon TCG product. It calculates fair market values using real median sales data and alerts the community when prices drop significantly. Available to all members with dashboard access (Collector tier and above).
