RichSweeps has launched Rich Rips, a separate site section where users open mystery boxes and card packs through arcade-style games. The feature is available in 48 states, excluding Nevada and Washington, and sits alongside the operator’s existing sweepstakes-casino offering.
The products include watches, bags, sports cards, Pokémon cards and technology gadgets. Rich Rips uses U.S. dollars rather than Sweeps Coins, although users can convert Sweeps Coins into USD for use in the section. USD withdrawals can be transferred to a card or cryptocurrency account, with a minimum withdrawal of $50.
SweepsKings reported that the new format lets users reveal boxes and packs through interactive arcade-style games rather than only using a simple opening animation. In one game, Plinko, the pot in which a ball lands determines the prize received. Users can view a box or pack’s available contents when selecting it.
The available prizes include Patek Philippe watches, Hermès Birkin bags and rare Pokémon cards, but the odds make lower-value items more likely. A can of soup is among the examples of a lower-value outcome.
Once an item is revealed, a user can request physical shipment or sell it back for USD wallet credit. An auto-sell setting converts every item into credit, allowing users to continue opening packs without dealing with each result individually. Physical delivery must be requested within 24 hours of an item being credited; after that window, the item can no longer be shipped, though it can still be sold back.
RichSweeps joins Crown Coins, MyPrize.us and WOW Vegas in adopting rip-and-ship collectible products. The feature is presented as a collecting and entertainment experience rather than sweepstakes gaming, a classification that can allow access in states that have prohibited dual-currency gaming.
The broader legal questions around chance-based mystery products remain unsettled. The Observer-Reporter noted in a 2025 examination of digital mystery boxes that U.S. states control gambling classifications and commonly assess consideration, chance and prize, while there is no federal law specifically banning mystery-box purchases and trading. That analysis concerned digital items, rather than the physical collectibles offered through Rich Rips, and described buyers’ interest in the possibility of unexpected, high-quality prizes.
