Why these scores
  • Fairness: Detailed per-card odds published but no verifiable randomness.
  • Trust: Founded 2022 with known backers, but a 1.7 Trustpilot score from 37 reviews.
  • Payouts: Cash withdrawals and quick fulfilment, offset by complaints about international fees.
  • Value: 80-90% buyback measured against the site's own valuations.
  • Selection: Broad sports coverage plus Pokémon.
  • Experience: Marketplace, grading and live hit feed in one place.

Pokémon-first buyers have narrower choice here, and international buyers should price in shipping before opening anything.
