Across the month the sites returned 99.6% of every dollar in card value, gross. That figure is carried by a handful of large hits; 17.8% of individual openings came back worth at least what the pack cost. The highest typical rip among the sites with a solid sample was Gotya, where the middle opening came back at 85.6% of pack price across 43,114 recorded openings.

Typical rip is the median of the month's openings: half came back above it, half below. Gross return is the mean, which a few large hits can carry on their own. Sites with fewer than 200 recorded openings in the month are left out.
Openings are counted where the customer opened them. Several sites run on another site's inventory and draw, and an opening through one of those counts for the storefront, not for the backend. Collector Crypt powers Jupiter Gacha, so that volume appears under that name rather than under Collector Crypt.

New packs, price changes and buyback changes only. Odds move continuously on sites with a live pool, which is a property of the product rather than news.
Method: we sample every operator's public feed of openings and record the card value against the price paid. Duplicate openings from sites that share a backend are counted once. Full method on the methodology page.
