Rules & Odds
1 · Daily $500
Every player gets $500 of virtual cash when they first play each UTC day. The grant can only happen once per player per day.
2 · Rip packs
Buy any pack you can afford. Contents are rolled on the server with a cryptographically secure random generator — never in your browser.
3 · Keep or sell
Sell cards back to the bank for 75% of their virtual value. Selling funds more packs, but sold cards stop counting toward your score.
4 · Top-5 score
Your leaderboard score is the combined virtual value of the five most valuable cards you currently own this round. Cash never counts.
5 · 00:00 UTC rollover
The round ends at midnight UTC: final rankings are recorded, the champion earns a trophy, and everyone starts fresh with $500 and an empty competitive inventory.
6 · Showcase forever
Cards you still own when a round ends move to your profile showcase. They can't be sold or reused in later rounds.
Planned reward
PLANNED · NOT LIVEThe daily #1 collector will be eligible for token creator fees when rewards launch. That feature does not exist yet: there are no wallets, transfers, fee tracking or payouts in this version, no amount is promised, and nothing is being distributed. Eligibility, amounts and full rules will be published here before any reward starts. Practice-mode and local demo games are never eligible.
Fair play
- Cash balances, card ownership and scores are stored only on the server and change only through atomic database transactions.
- Every purchase and sale carries a unique transaction id. Retried or double-clicked requests are applied once and replay the original result.
- Purchases verify funds inside the same transaction that debits them; a card can only ever be sold once.
- Per-player rate limits protect the economy; the ledger of grants, packs and sales is kept for auditing.
- Leaderboards, big pulls and the hall of fame show only real stored player data — no bots or invented activity.
Card values
Values come from a fixed table, never market prices and never random per reload. Each pack defines a virtual value range for every printed rarity; a card's spot in that range depends on its desirability — a fan-favourite score for the Pokémon or trainer (Charizard, Pikachu, Umbreon…) plus a stable per-card factor derived from its id. Energy and item cards sit lower. Reverse holos are worth 1.75× the normal print. Every pack's average value is set below its price (81–93%), so no pack is a guaranteed profit.
Pull odds
These are simplified odds. The Pokémon Company does not publish pack collation data, so PACK WARS uses rounded slot rates inspired by community pull-rate estimates for each real set. They do not reproduce official pack odds exactly. What you see here is exactly what the server uses; every card of a given rarity is equally likely.
