What users say
GameStop Power Packs: 4.5★ average across 2 review sources. Caution: The iOS rating is inflated by a launch-week burst of 5-star reviews; post-launch reviews are split. The iOS rating is inflated by launch week: 72 of the 100 most recent App Store reviews were 5-star and posted July 14–17, 2026, and many read as GameStop-shareholder enthusiasm rather than product feedback. Since then, reviews are split (16 five-star against 10 one- or two-star) and center on odds and value. Power Packs has no Trustpilot profile of its own. GameStop's retail profile doesn't mention it, so we don't count it.
Rips by Triumph: 4.6★ average across 2 review sources. Caution: App-store ratings are likely lifted by in-app prompts; the only Trustpilot page is unofficial and all 1-star. App-store ratings are huge and strong, over 270,000 combined, although in-app rating prompts likely inflate them. Critical store reviews say odds don't match expectations, sell-back offers come in around 75% of value, and support goes quiet on high-value pulls. The only Trustpilot page is an unofficial listing with 12 one-star reviews. Triumph Arcade, LLC has an F rating from the BBB, with 37 complaints in three years across all Triumph games.
