What users say
Packz: 3.2★ average across 2 review sources. Caution: 4.7 on the App Store but 1.7 on Trustpilot; in-app rating prompts may lift the App Store score. The widest gap in our research: 4.7 stars from about 17,000 App Store ratings, but 1.7 on an unclaimed Trustpilot profile. In-app rating prompts may lift the App Store score. Trustpilot complaints center on 'risk-free' promos that refund losses as bonus funds you can't withdraw, repeated ID and selfie checks at withdrawal, and shipping add-ons. App Store reviewers praise Apple Pay deposits and fast withdrawals.
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.
