Coming to members
Giveaways planned — after first profitLive card rips — free at the booth, and online for members
We rip packs, boxes and cases live — and give the cards to members. You don’t buy a slot in the box. Random winners from everyone who traded that period, plus a set-aside for top traders. Quarterly to start, then weekly as we grow.
Giveaways start after $wapSlabs turns a profit — not before. We're not giving cards away while the company still owes money.
Until then we still rip on stream — we just sell the cards on $wapSlabs instead of giving them away, and creators can co-host with their own product.
Pack rips
A handful of packs opened live, start to finish, with every hit called out on stream.
Every card pulled goes into the draw
Box rips
A full sealed box — hobby where we can get it — opened in one sitting.
Hits go to the draw, base cards to member bundles
Case rips
The milestone format: a sealed case, ripped box by box, once the member base supports it.
Chase cards drawn, plus a guaranteed slab per top trader
Guaranteed-slab packs
The show-floor format: we buy the packs that guarantee a graded slab and open them on stream, so nobody watches a dud. We never sell you a pack or a slot.
One slab per pack — contents and odds published before the rip
Member draw
Random winners take cards pulled in that period's rip, shipped in card-safe packaging at our cost.
Complete at least one buy, sell or swap in the period and you're entered automatically. A free entry route will be published with the official rules.
Top traders
A guaranteed allocation from the rip — the graded and chase pulls are set aside for this group before the draw.
The members with the most completed transaction value in the period.
Affiliates & partner shops
Their own entries, plus a rip slot to co-host on stream for their audience.
Referral partners and featured meetup venues, based on members brought in and trades hosted.
- Quarterly
- Monthly, then weekly
- Daily
Live rips are planned, not live, and will not begin until $wapSlabs is profitable — no start date is promised. No purchase is necessary to enter and a free entry method will be offered; a purchase does not improve your odds in the member draw. Official rules, eligibility, entry period, prize values and odds will be published before the first rip. Void where prohibited, and open only to members who meet the age and location requirements in those rules. Cards shown in rip announcements are examples, not guaranteed prizes.
Planned stops are targets, not commitments: a city moves to Confirmed here only when the date and venue are booked. Rips at a booth are something to watch, not a giveaway: member giveaways don’t start until $wapSlabs is profitable.
